Websites

My favorite websites include: Modcloth, YouTube, and a Swedish blog called Niotillfem. Modcloth is a cool clothing website because it shows every angel of the clothing showcased. They also give each item a backstory, tell what fabrics they are made out of, give measurements, and allow the website users to rate the articles of clothing. They is a blog attached and a tab that allows the members of the website to vote on the next article of clothing that will be made. This website is exciting and appealing because it is quite clean looking and the color palate mostly consists of bright pastels. If I could make my own website it would allow people to social network while ahowcasing articles of clothing. To explain; my website would sell clothing and allow people to make suggestions as to how to make it better. I would also allow people to send in samples of their own work and if it were good enough I would sell it on the site and give the proceeds to the desiger. They would also be a lookbook and blog tab attached. So that the peoplecould take photos of themselves in their version of the clothing and the people who worked at my website could also post their opinions about fashion. Every holiday their would be a twenty minute period where every article of clothing would be 75% off, therefore allowing people to get the outfits they want the most (because most online stores are expensive).

Living without technology?

Technology is not absolutely necessary but it is definately a huge time saver and helps to regulate the flow of life. If I didn't have technology I would probably be more stressed out (believe me I don not need anymore stree). If we didn't have any technology a mass number of people would die. We desperatly need technology to help us to do surgeries and to regulate our body temperatures. Without technology we wouldn't have as many resources to help us to cool of in the summer so more people would probably suffer from heat stroke. But I think it would be rather nice if we didn't have any cars because then we could ride bikes everywhere. Although having no technology would definatly work against me and my future. This is because it would be a lot harder for me to stay in touch with my friends and family. This might cause all of us to grow apart. I also would get less sleep because I would only use books to do homework. Technology is very important to have for the classroom because it helps us to get information quicker and more effciently. It also helps us to learn more and to have access to more examples of the information we are learning.

Databases vs. Spreadsheets

A database contains an organized collections of information that is used for multiple purposes. They are used by computer Programers and Security Guards. I encounter databases everyday through search engines and libraries. Spreadsheets usually need mathematical formulas and equations in order to file the information. A database doesn't always need equations and formulas to work because sometimes it has nothing to do with math. Sometimes, it organizes books, food, or house cleaning supplies instead of numbers and dollar signs. But a spreadsheets usually deals with digits and is ideally found in Microsoft Excel.

Current events

Apple has postponed the international launch of the ipad due to high demand in the States. They have had to increase their inventory because of this demand. Apple says they didn't expect so many people to want their product. The first day ipad were released to the public 300,000 were sold. Many people have pre-ordered and Apple is working to meet all of these needs, but for now the ipad will not be released internationally until the end of May.


The story of romeo and Juliet is being "acted out" on twitter for the duration of five weeks. This is being created by the Royal Shakespeare Company and Mudlark a mobile entertainment company. The actors aren't using the common Shakespearian lingo rather they have modernized the lines and the scenes. They will be following a loose adaptation of the classic story-line in order to accomplish this. The entire story can be followed on suchsweetsorrow.com.

Without technology?

There isn't a piece of technology I can't live without. I enjoy my technological devices but I don't absolutely need them. But, if i had to pick one that I liked the most I would say my laptop because it gives me access to all of my music and my favorite blogs. For a month if I couldn't use the device I would read instead. HOWEVER, they wouldn't just be any ordinary books!! I would read witty books such as Dorian Gray (reading it right now! love it!) and other pieces of literature that get my thought process flowing. I could also go outside more (need that vitamin D) and frolic around with my family.

Before the laptop existed people probably didn't know so much about other people on other sides of the world. Also, homework was probably more difficult because people would have to use encyclopedias and newspapers in order to learn about the world. Back then people had to go out into record stores in order to find music and they could only get a hold of people in other parts of the world by mailing or calling them.

Laptops are definitely helpful because of there easy access to news, informations, and entertainment. But in the end I don't think I would miss mine that much because even though it gives me access to the world electronically I could physically explore the world instead.

Competition for the Helper

Our competitions includes companies that create grab claws and the swifter sweeper because we basically combined the two. The market can be somewhat hard to break into if proper advertisement is not made. I think as long as we showcase that the Handy Helper can extend and can do more then those two products we shall be fine. We will stay one step ahead of the competition by having a research and development team and consulting with our costumers about their opinion of the product. Our product is worth the investment because it will help the disabled to grab things from far away and to clean their house. They shouldn't have to suffer a dirty house because they are hassled with getting the cleaning solution and washcloths. It's also great for cleaning services so that they can clean high up areas without getting on a latter and running the risk of falling. Our product would make peoples' life easier and help businesses to become more efficient.
