More Sketchup!

   So this week in ICT class we did sketchup again, but this time we are improving the windows and doors to make it look like a nice restaurant. We make custom doors and windows and we put it into our restaurant. We use quite a complicated way to make the doors and windows but I can still understand it and follow it. I would post a picture of it but we did not turn it in last time so I don't have a picture with me at this moment.
   I think this  is a great way for us maybe in the future if we want to create a building we can use sketchup and the skill we learn to make our building. So there is a 3D model of the structure that we are designing and it will also help us see if it will work out or look nice in real life. So I think learning these sketchup skill will help us in the future if we pursue our career as a engineer or a building designer.

How to make your twitter tweets more trustworthy!

   Ever feel like some tweets on twitter that are not even trustworthy. Here they did a study on how people think that you are trustworthy. This way people will be easier to see the tweet to see what other actually tweet is worth reading it or not. But anyway twitter has very less text when people text it anyway so it only takes about 1-5 min to read one. So there is a few ways that you can tell if it is trustworthy to tell if the tweet can be trustworthy or not. The easiest way to trust if the tweet is trustworthy is post was retweeted by someone you trust. The easiest way to trust if you can't trust the tweet is author’s user image is a logo, so here is a few ways to tell the difference.

   I think this a good experiment to check and it is good to know how people tell the difference of a good tweet or a bad tweet. But to be honest in my opinion I think it doesn't matter because you can use your logic or research about these topics. And also these tweet are about like 1-5 min of reading so reading it doesn't hurt you at all so why not just read it. Anyway I think that this is a good way to show us how we can tell the difference and this is a good article that people should read!

Microsoft are working on a program that can translate your voice into another language

   This is a new way to communicate with others if you don't know what is there language. Microsoft came up with this new technology to help traveler go to other country and can communicate with other people. They are trying to create this program to help other easier to travel around the world. It work like a program and when you speak into it it first recognize your language then it will translate into your language. It will then speak out into the outside so it will translate it.
    I think that this is a great program that will help everyone who is traveling and it will make everyone's life alot easier once we have this new program and I think that everyone should use this, I think that people who will use this are only travelors or just people who want to play around with it. This new technology can help the world and it will make everyone start traveling more. Too bad right now there is only a few language not alot so that is the only bad thing about it.

Mouthguard Protection

   This is what people or athletes use while playing sport they use it to protect their mouth. Every sport would use this if there is any physical contact for example boxing,American football, basketball, rugby, etc. This is one of the most important protection while playing sport because to get your mouth to bleed is pretty simple. So when athlete uses it it protects them to get hit on the mouth and bleed because if that happen then it will be a big trouble for them.

First on moon real or fake?

   This week in social studies we are learning about the Russian and USA having the cold war and one of the topic that we are discussing is if the moon tape real or fake. There is this tape from USA that their astronaut landed on the moon first but there is alot of conspiracy that the tape is fake. There is alot of evidence out there in the internet about the conspiracy on the evidence that it is a fake tape.
   I think that it is fake because there is way too much conspiracy about it so I think it is a good thing that there is so much different evidence on it. I just think that it is fake because there is no gravity in the moon so how can the flag be shaking or moving without gravity. There are some things that shows that it is sort of fake like you can't explain it properly because it looks fake.

Sketchup

   This week we did alot of sketchup to try to make our virtual restaurant but first we need to learn the basic of making those houses. Once we learn the basic we will start creating our actual virtual restaurant. We first make a couple of house and blocks and then doors and windows. We make the basic of a restaurant and will be learning more later on but so far this is that we learn.
   I think that learning sketchup is great because we can finally learn what it is to make a restaurant to our own design. I think it is really fun to create your own design and learning how to do so. I also like that we are using sketchup which is pretty simple to use and there is alot of cool things and tools you can use to make it alot better. So overall I think learning this lesson is really good.

   

Microsoft's 3D Desktop now put your computing with your own fingertip!

   The Microsoft applied scientist group has show a prototype of a new Microsoft 3D desktop. The system is use with the Samsung's OLED desktop and also Kinect's sensor. There is a normal keyboard beneath the transparent screen to allow the user to type as normal. There is an example of this new Microsoft desktop is to flip through a stack of file is to reach it into the desktop and move it. The sensor not only track the hand positioning it also track down your eye and head position. By doing that it tracks where you can see the pictures and screen so it will fit with where you are. By getting the exact position of where you are it allow the screen to show you the exact 3D perspective of the screen!
   I think this is a great invention and a new technology. Well it isn't really a new technology because they just take other company's screen and using one of their own technology the Kinect's sensor to use as the sensor for this new prototype. This is a great thing to know because we can be sure that our technology is developing day by day we have new invention or new technology because we keep investigating new ways to do so. I think that this is really useful in the future because its alot easier to control and you don't need a mouse anymore to do any of the computer things.
