Technological evolution

 Technological evolution 




For this weeks task I watched a couple videos about technology advancements and evolution, what I adore about the topic is seeing how our ancestors developed society bye making these small but amazing advancements with technology. Over the years it is clear to see how fast humanity has gone form point A to B, it's fantastic to imagine how Alexander Gramh Bell invented the first telephone. Henry ford with the very first car the graced humanutitys presence with the ford model T; now we have the fastest computer known to man, the quantum computer. 





The second video was based on the history of media literacy, I don't not find this video as interesting as the first howere their was one quote that caught my eye. “The history of media literacy follows the history of media technology- with each new invention discussions and fears follow”. This was intriguing to me because it's seen even in today's world, the elderly folk who aren't so tech savvy sometimes have a fear of media and the Internet. So they look towards old media to keep up to day with the news, instead of googling what's the weather they would rather tune in on the radio to get the forecast.


The last video was about the digital predictions for 2030, this was extremely important because the ideas and predictions are going to take humanity to another level. The interactive holographic user interface will allow us design and plan extravagant ideas. With all these new ideas coming into play it raises some serious years and questions like how intelligent will the A.I be and will some jobs be completely replaced by robots rendering some jobless. Furthermore, there are things that we may need to consider but if the prediction comes true humanity will defiantly be able to evolve to the next stage in life; the new tech will keep us linked together. Another query is will the advancement of technology  help the earth and it's constant developing of problems- like being able to rebuild or design new eco systems that will allow stability in some places.


I really enjoyed this weeks video task because I find the advancements of humans is pivitol for first/second/third world problems; don’t you think so too?

Peer review #2

 Peer review  This weeks peer review tasks were interesting to write comments about the article was of use to me,  Feedback . However it was too long and took me too long to even skim through, I did try to use different reading techniques. From my first blog I’m trying to learn how to properly phrase my sentences and use different methods of writing. I learned that commas aren’t the only thing I can use to separate my sentences, for example brackets/commas; and dashes- may be used to separate sentences. This is a method used to make your sentences look and sound better; it adds flair. The other new techniques that I want to use in my next blog is keeping my paragraphs structured correctly and straight to the point. In the article the study stated “ In other words, the finding suggests that, although the quality of peer feedback that students receive may not have a direct impact on the quality of their final projects, students’ ability to critically evaluate and analytical...

Introducing myself. Hello people my name is Donell Usher, my friends used to call me Nelly for short until it got old. Im 18 years old and I would like to think of myself as a very open guy, no matter the circumstances I always find the good in things.  Hobbies. I’m always open to try new things but in most recent years i’ve always found myself spending a lot of my time behind a commuter screen. I LOVE EVERY SECOND OF IT! Whenever all the lads have some free time we can find some enjoyment from from a night out or some gaming!   Future expectations. What i’m looking forward to the most is the so called “college experience”, making new friends and exploring my course. My interest in gaming definitely influenced what college course I chose, I’m extremely ecstatic to start using a camera for one of my modules. This is amazing to me because it’s something new, thrilling and educational. I’m really liking the enthusiasm and energy the lectures are bringing to school, it not only se...

 Introduction As of late I read an article about active reading and how the educational system breads children from a young age to get familiar with it. Active reading is the process of asking questions while reading or analyzing  any written piece of text, however there are two views of active reading. One study (done by Kintsch and van Dijk) indicated that active reading is something that can be foreseen by thoroughly examining the text structure.  However others thought differently, they claimed that there are four factors that influence the effectiveness of active reading and those are what material are you covering, how you plan to learn the material you have read, how much time it takes for you to learn what you've read and the characteristics of the learner. The last one surprised me because that means active reading might actually be suited for certain people and not everyone can benefit from it.  Active reading not only allows the learner to challenge themse...
