DAY 1
Today I had to choose a certain technology topic for my UOI. I chose personal devices because I want to find out about the original phone and the evolution of this technology theme. Personal devices are a range of phones and iPads can be used for education, fun games, communication and etc. These devices have changed drastically through technology and the internet.
Their use is to communicate,educate,have fun, share notifications and many more reasons.
HOW DO IPADS AND IPHONES COMMUNICATE IDEAS AND BELIEFS?
-Through apps such as Messenger,Skype,Facebook,etc which can allo people to keep up to date with current affairs.
-Dialing phone numbers to communicate with people if you need help or need to get somewhere. For EG, (Uber).
-Text messages to talk to people by sending words and images to each other.
-Sending images to show friends and family what you have been up to (etc).
HOW COMMUNICATION HAS CHANGED
Phones used to be microphones connected by a cord into the wall. Now they have evolved and are small and smart. Ipads have also been invented and are a lot more easier to use than the original model.
This was before my time. I only know about ipads.
The original iPad used to have only a limited amount of apps which were the most basic apps like calendar, phone and settings. The games on these devices were limited to old arcade simulations. The new IPad has a massive variety of helpful apps like Apple TV and Facebook.
PROS AND CONS
-Educational for kids (Mathletics, Games3Plearning).
-Fun(video games for example fortnite, pubg etc).
-Easy to use touch screen and easy to use.
-Communicate to people (texting).
-Many helpful apps (how to use it like the settings app for notifications).
CONS:
-Addictive( people are on them ALOT).
-Makes people obiece (fat from not getting excersise).
-Non social(too busy looking down on their phones).
-Makes people lazy(people don’t do much when on their phones).
UNPACKING OUR CENTRAL IDEA
When I was unpacking my central idea,I had to find the description of each word in the title.
I recommend (my opinion) to go apple over android because apple have a better quality iPad/iphone and are easier to use. Although androids have more apps, Apple have easier apps to use.Apple have more than 2 billion units online compared to androids 1.5 billion (google proves through a graph created by apple scientists.) Apple have been a longer lasting company so Apple have more experience and have a better understanding of what pleases customers. For example Siri. She might sound annoying, but she can be a real help sometimes with languages, and help with searching things up (facts) on Google.
Phones and IPads are really great because they are fun, used for education and communication! I know that IPads and IPhones are going to be AMAZING in the future. So go ahead to your local Apple store and get yourself and IPad or IPhone today!
