New Toy for kids!

~Article Review~

After I read this article, I feel that technology is developed a lot. I think I always saying this when I do the article review with things that I haven't see. As you see the picture, This is the toy that I trying to introduce today by article review. As title of my post, It's toy for kids. You can buy this giant robot for $20,000. It's from 'Sakakibara Kikai' production in japan. As you see, this giant robot is able to standing and ride it such as "Cyclops".those robots are 6 feet tall.

Those names are 'Landwalker'. If you search it, you will able to find some other information and pictures. and according to the article, there is landwalker for adults which are eleven foot tall robot. and It's also powerful, and equipped  air cannons that fire nerf balls. Actually this cyclops price is not yet published. but for guess which is from another kid drive-able robot in last year, It might be $20,000 as I already mention. 

Actually, It's my first time to see robot which is drive-able. I think I heard that few years ago in the TV. however, I never think that it's be able to buy. Because I thought that it might be only in seince contest, robot contest something like that. I have no idea how many people might buy this and play with this but I am pretty sure that It would be good for kids. On the other hand, I also thought that It might be little dangerous. Because kids wants to do whatever they want. while they run or play, there is possibility to bump with others. It might be big accident. anyway, it remind me again technology is developed  and be aware before ride it or buy it. :)

Article review:: Unaware of illegal downloading

 Unaware of illegal downloading

~Article review~

Nowadays people are easily downloading files such as music, movie,. etc. And that's the topic of this article. 'Internet users unaware of illegal downloading'. Internet is much developed than before then people are downloading files illegally  That;s not good. we all know it but still people are unaware of it. 

According to this article, 44%percent of people who took part in an independent, they online server of 2,500 respondents in the server commissioned by the law firm. People who is Wiggins said that it was legal to upload commercially produced media to a file-sharing website or didn't know it was lawful or not but it's incorrect. 

Not only that, more than thirty percent people are claimed it's legal to copy the file or firm from the TV, their friends or admitted they didn't know. Most respondents agree as copyright is important but for over than 68 percent say that it's necessary to protect their creative active from piracy. on the other hand, more than two-thirds people are using search engines as Google to do the illegal downloading. 

In my opinion, we should try to more aware with the illegal downloading. Actually we can download illegally in everywhere by internet. I also have experience with illegal download but I also have seen the commercial for the illegal download. there are lots artist who earn money from their artistic and creative works and it's like stealing from them and even you like them and love to listen their music or watch movies, you might not able to get next music or movie  if you keep do the illegal downloading. I think people should more aware of it and try to don't do it

Hands on with the Pebble watch: a handy device with a lot of potential

~Article Review~

       Today, I going to explain of smart watch. Have you heard smart watch? Basically, It connected to your iOS and android devices. Not only that, It has more cool staff! Can you guess what are they? According to the article, It separated as two part which are first impression and cool ticks. you might guess what are they now. I think this article has included bit of the writers opinion which is positive.

      First impression. It's really important part when we see something. and from this article, It shows that how it looks cool and how does it smart. This watch can load onto the watch with the companion app which is free on iOS and Android devices. and It's shows the number as watch faces. For example, When the time is as 5:13:23pm, Then it seeing as 'quarter after five'. That is awesome. right? 

      When you first glance at the Pebble, you see the time as presented by your currently selected watch face. You can navigate away from the watch face using the four physical buttons on the watch: back, up, select, and down. With these, you are able to navigate across the watch's operating system. This watch is large part to combination of e-paper display and the use of low energy of Bluetooth. It also runs on ARM Cortex-M3 micro-controller. It might drain your phone battery bit.

       This smart watch also have waterproof! According to article, It is possible to use under the water as 50 m or 164 ft. Therefore, you can use it while your shower or swimming. Pebble uses a propriatary magnetic charging port which is plug for USB port. Simply, let's think about why we like it. first,  As you see, this watch has cool design. If you still doesn't like it, You might able to make as your own classic watches. second also i already explained. you can connect with your app in your phone. you can receive notifications from the service in Pebble from web app, and approach will allow native apps to use the Pebble as a secondary output in real time.  You can pre-order your own pebble at getpebble.com for $150. The watch comes with Jet Black, Arctic White, Cherry Red, Grey and Orange.

      I think, this is really cool watch. And while I read this article, I feel that nowadays technology is much developed than before again. Have you think about watch connect with your apps? For me, no. That's the reason why I more amaze with this stuff. Actually I am not a person really know about the watch. What design is cool, or what bland is nice to use, How much are they..etc. But I know this is cool. I like the way that they show the time. I am not sure that is it expensive or not cause of there are much developed system than other watch and nice design. even the waterproof. In my opinion, it would be good to have it. :)

Article Review:: The Truth About Google Glasses

 

      As the title of article, it is about the Google glasses. Nowadays the Google Glass is on the tip of everyone's tongue. And It is more developer than before. Actually Google Glass is a computer. On your hands with a camera. But it's haven't been paying attention and that is the big thing that missed in technology.

      It might record what you see, what you hear, everything that you see and hear. It also mini heads up dis play, and Fancy stuff.Yes, It might looked cool. by the way, you can read the comic which is TheJoyOfTech which is about the Google Glasses.

Here is TheJoyOfTech!

 

       This cartoon shows some interesting happen and it might give you some question of Google Glasses. Well..., Imagine about that, Someone is wearing Google Glasses then come to you. It might record your face, voice, whatever you did. Is that legal? It's possible be your first question. you might also ask that how people would act about that Google Glasses. Google is pushing as regardless and It is actually expensive. I mean, It has high price which is between $1,000 and $1,500. That's not just pretty expensive. It's just expensive. Anybody ever said bleeding edge technology was cheap but It's too expensive to buy it. I also agree with that, It makes me wonder just how many people will buy Google Glass when it price like that. But in this article, they don't expect the price to drop down. Because they love to have Google Glass on their heads ASAP. However, In my opinion, I have no idea is it really good idea or not. Actually are we really need to record whatever we seeing? I don't think so. As I just said, It is expensive. How many people going to buy and support money for it? It might not really many people.

      I don't care you want to buy or not, because it's not of my business. But before you buy it, you should think a lot and be careful with spend your money. First, It is expensive and second, What would you use Google Glasses for. I think the article writer has positive opinion of it but for it, I don't. I have negative opinion of it. Yes it is awesome to see how our technology is developed, but when I saw the price of it and the cartoon, I just turn my mind. I think it's waste money.  As you see, It's possible to use it as bad things. I will not give examples of those bad things, you might know what are they. Anyway, people have different perception, so I am pretty sure that some are think that it's cool and awesome, or have to have it. That's all about my opinion. :) The article also introduced of their twitter and Facebook,  Google+ Which is you can see the update of all the latest from Microsoft, Google, Apple and the Web.

Article review:: Code or Die: The Future Of Work?

Article review :: CODE OR DIE

~The Future of work?~

      It's separated to three parts and etc. First part of title is 'Coding is Not Magic (Not really)' and Second is 'It Takes Much More Than That' then, next is 'Coding Might Be Essential To Creating Your Own Job' which is third part. Probably you will know what this article is about by this titles. Yes, It's about the CODE! The writer also mention about the video which is warning about the importance of codes. And this article is explain how is it important. 
 

      First, Nowadays people are using smart phone and being happy with that by as games, chat with friends.etc. But people doesn't know how is code behind applications. people might not feel that softwear as magic. but you might feel that as magic when someone make it as really beautiful and play around with codes. “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic” said third law of Clarke. Do you agree with this? How people has gap between users and programmers? Before discuss this question, there is one thing that sure. Which is learning to code is not a magic pill to get into Silicon Valley.
 

      For second, It explain how is it important and useful to learn codes. Coding is a way that find problems and solve the problems. Codes would help you to solve the problems in everyday life. but it will takes long time to learn. However it takes long, leaning code are better than just a knack for taking to machines. It is great to have knowlege of programming and skills such as teamworking, leadership.

         In third part, as title which is 'Coding Might Be Essential To Creating Your Own Job' explain how is it useful. actually it has more detail example of  how it might use for the future. The picture of article, I mean the picture of this post shows that this is main part of article. For yourself, you might need to concider future and ready for it. Learning code would be great part of future. Why? Beacuse it makes every things that we use such as applications even computer system. It might future of self-employment. Most successful person are usually person who built something as creative. It might not possible to built, I mean create somthing would be not able without codes. Yes, you might think that everypeople are create their own tech company and make somthing. nowadays internet is really developed, so we can do what we want without know codes exactly such as Java or HTML makes it more easier to do. but if there is something, it also have person who made it. But you should know that that can have some limited things to do.

     It is possible to you get better idea than learning codes but it might help you a lot in apply something. whatever it is. And I also agree with that learning code can be very useful because you can do whatever you want by codes. You might possible to show how you creative and how you can explain or make lots things by codes. It would be biggest part in the future. The reason why i think it's important, nowadays technology is developed day by day. In the future, there will be more than this. But i also think that it would be more easier to make something without codes with same reason. Technology which is developed support you to do something and fix, solve the problems without that. I am pretty sure with that. Even I think that way, I know that codes are important. If you waiting for developed technology to support yourself, it's fine. but It might take long time than learning codes and spport yourself.
