Control Your TV With A Magic Wand

   If you are bored of using the ordinary remote to change your channels, now you could use a magic wand also known as Kymera magic wand remote control. With this new remote control there is no buttons on the wand so there is 13 gestures on the wand. For example, you can swing the wand left and right to change the channels or you and swirl the wand to increase or decrease the volume of it. The entire wand can be modified/customize to the way you like it. It came in a snake skin box, which is embedded in a Chinese silk cushion all around the magic wand.
   I think this is an amazing find in the technology world because people have always loved Harry Potter and wanted the magic wand and now you could with this magic wand. I read another article before and I think the creators inspiration is from Harry Potter. So I think all the Harry Potter fan will get it to feel like Harry Potter and plus it isn't that pricey for a magic wand that isn't just a light up wand. It actually have uses which is to control your TV with style. When you have this and show it to your friends they would be impressed by what that wand can do. This is a great investigation for mankind because it shows what we can do instead of just an imaginary.

Advertising

   In language class what we are learning is about advertising we are learning how people us different type of propaganda skills to make an advertisement. We watched alot of commercials and we are told to find out what are the different type of propaganda skills that are in those commercial. Most commercial we watch have mostly the same type of propaganda skills because it is require to do so.
   I think learning about these propaganda skills is really important in the future when you are doing business and you are trying to make a commercial then you know what to do to make a good commercial. So learning about how to  advertise in the real world I think is really useful in the future. I will post one of the video we watched below to show what are the type of commercial we saw.

New Sketchup

   This week in ICT what we did on sketchup is that we make a door knob and a second door. So it goes as usual where Mr.Pete will show us step by step how to create the door knob and the second door. The door knob is slightly harder to do but when Mr.Pete is teaching it step by step then it is easy to learn. I know that because the other day I try to do it myself and I can't do it because its pretty difficult to do it. The door knob look really realistic which is really cool.
    I learned that without Mr.Pete there teaching me how to make a door knob step by step it is really difficult to do it alone. Doing sketchup like I said before on other post its good to learn about it and its interesting but am I really going to use it for the future. Only if I'm a designer or something on that line. But nonetheless I still enjoy doing all these sketchup because its fun to see you making realistic things.

Internet safety: Rules for the kids

   Nowadays internet is really useful and everyone love it. In school if you have a permanent record its on your school but if you have a post or something on the internet it is permanently on that place. So what you post online is really important to what if you want the others to see it or not. For example in the document it says that if in 5th grade you having a username fatgreenwizard might be cool but when you grow up into the real world having that name will not get you a job. So it means that people need to think long-term instead of just where they are at right now.
   I think this is a very important for kids not just kids maybe even adults or teenager. We might know more than kids but the internet is still pretty dangerous depend on what are on it. If you have something that you don't want it to be said online then the best thing is to not post the thing on the internet. The reason is because what are the chances of that internet thing being online and you don't want it to be. You can't do anything about it because if you will have no control over it once something copied it somewhere. So I think this is a article where everyone who reads it is okay.

Flying Cars

   It has be proven that they can create a plane that actually can be able to fly. This machine has been tested and they said it has been around for over 3 years already but no one talks about it. It can run 400+ miles before it stop and so pretty much you can fly from New York to Boston. It is legal for people to drive or fly it around according to the street rules. As long as you have a license for driving or a pilot driving license you can drive it or fly it. They say it is easy to drive it too so its just like driving a car but now you can fly it too.
   I think this is a great invention for people for a new technology to show us people that anything is possible so I think this is great. Maybe the price will be really pricy but I bet people will still buy it if you have the money because it look really cool and you can fly it. If you don't feel like driving around or going through airport security you can use this flying car to get through all those problem. So overall this is a cool invention for human mankind.
