1/9 blog post

This week I read an article that I enjoyed about the CES convention. I read about a few advances in technology coming out like a washing machine that can wash two loads at once. It was interesting.

This week I enjoyed the warm ups because I discovered new products that are coming out. I also enjoyed creating the google calendar. My dad has been trying to get me to make and connect it to my phone. I can finally say I created one that will help me through the rest of senior year.

Warm ups

I really like the warms ups because i always learn something new about the different types of technologies that are coming this year or later in the future. There are many articles to choose from such as "New smartphones battery recharges in less than 2 minutes." All of the articles a very interesting to read and look at the products that you might purchased later on.

I found it helpful that Ms. D printed blank calendars for the rest of the year for us to fill in because we can visually put the date in perspective- you can see if an assignment or event is happening or due in a week, days, months. Furthermore I find it useful to have the calendar digitalized when it can notify you on your phone because you are normally in close proximity with it. Although only having it digitalized on your computer is not that useful for me particularly because I am not on the computer often.

This week the activity I enjoyed the most was making the google calendar. I think with the new year, the calendar is a great way to remain organized for the new semester. It will ultimately help in the long run.

This week for one of the warm ups I read "Polaroid Zip delivers instant prints for your smartphone snapshots" by Joshua Goldman. This article from cnet.com reported on a new technology called the Polaroid Zip. This is a small box that allows users to print pictures directly from their smartphones. The two devices are connected through a free app, which also allows for the user to print a small 2x3 inch print as if they had taken the picture with a polariod camera. However, this app also gives users the capability to choose filters and stickers for the picture. This article interested me because the polaroid camera has been trending recently, except now their is a way to take the pictures and get the print outs without the actual burden of carrying around a bulky camera.

I like that doing warms ups informs me stuff  im interested in.

I think that the warm-ups are very helpful and interesting. Not only can we start off class with an activity, but we also learn about what is going on in the world of technology today. In addition, we get to work on our typing skills.
