Bi-Weekly current event #2

The topic of the article the article is a new way to keep your gun locked away in a gun box that requires a RFID- equipped bracelet (or ring), via a fingerprint scan, or a combination of the two.

The title of the article is Fingerprint sensors and GPS tracking keep your firearms safe inside the Gun Box.

I got the article from Gizmag.

Fincher, Jonathan. “Fingerprint sensors and GPS tracking keep your firearms safe inside the Gun Box.” Gizmag. 27 Sept. 2013. Web. 27 Sept. 2013.

According to Jonathan Fincher “the gun box does not stick out in a home” (Fincher). The gun box can be used by several people with different passwords. It also will not be damaged in a fire or an accident. One more thing is that if the gun box has been moved or tampered with the owner will get a text alert and some can get the exact location of where the gun box is.

I think the gun box is a good idea. I feel this way because lots of people’s gun’s get stolen everyday. This does not really affect be as much because I don’t own a gun. When I get older and possibly own a gun I think the gun box would be an good idea. That is how I feel about the gun box.

I believe that this impacted the world by making a safer place for gun owners to out there guns. It also impacted the world by making it a lot harder for thieves to steal someone’s gun. I believe that most old people with guns would most likely buy the gun box because they are usually the one’s who get robbed for their weapons. Another thing that I think is that is that if someone does get away with someone’s gun box then they will get caught in less than 24 hours. That is how I think the gun box will impact the world.

Bi- weekly blog post #2

Some  of the new terms that we learned this week is plagiarism and digital citizenship. Plagiarism means the paraphrase or direct quote, of the published work of another person without full or clear acknowledgement.  The other terms that we learned was digital citizenship which is safe, responsible, and ethical approach to interacting online. One of my favorite one's is connect culture which means to treat people the way that you want to be treated; no cyberbullying.

Some new web 2.0 tools that we learned this week is mixbook, prezi, and diigo. Some positives of all of these is that they are all good tools to use for projects and presentation. If someone was doing a presentation I would recommend them to do prezi because you can zoom in and out and also it has amazing backgrounds. I really don't believe that there is any thing negative about any of these. The only thing that I will say about mixbook it is that make sure that your stickers don't cover your words.

Ethics is the digital literacy component that we learned and it means to have a set of moral about people’s behavior- requires honesty and respect. Ethics should be used every where exspecialy on the internet.

This information affected my personal/acadiment life because I know how to be safe online and what is really plagiarism because before we actually talked about it I thought that changing
word makes it my work.

Bi-Weekly Current event #1

The topic of the article is  iPhone trying bigger screens.
The tittle of the article is "APPLE TESTING BIGGER IPHONE SCREENS"
The article is from CNN
 Gross, Doug.  "Apple Testing Bigger iPhone Screens." CNN. Web. 6 Sept. 2013.             <http//www.cnn.com/2013/09/06/mobile/apple-bigger-iPhone-screens/indext.html>.

According to Wall Street Journal, the "iPhone is planning on making a bigger screen that is 4.8 inches" (Gross). Samsung and iPhone are both rivals because of the Galaxy Note 3 with the 5.7 inch screen. iPhone is planning on rolling out 2 more differnt iPhone that are cheeper than the iPhone 5 for buyers in like China or India. Iphone options are between a new Ipad or a smartwatch.

I am on Apple's side with the bigger screens and the smartwatch. I feel that it would be a great thing to come out with something new every once in a while instead of having the same thing for years. This event affects me bacause I love apple period and every time I hear that they have came out with something new I just have to have it no matter what. I also think that it would be a good thing to give your rival something to worry and wonder about.

This event has impacted the world by first leting people have more choices to choose from while with apple. The second thing is giving people something to look forward to. The last thing is leting people keep in contact with their friends and family for a cheaper price. I really do think by apple lowering its prices that they will get more custumers.
