The Blog Project

See, English 110 exists outside of the classroom. We'll be sharpening our analytical minds in this heated arena: blog-dom.

The point of the blog is for you to practice making 1) observations and 2) analyses on the material you come across in your day-to-day virtual lives, and then to share your analytical experiments with your classmates. Take this opportunity to explore the course theme and broaden your understanding of your chosen sources. Social media, YouTube, and online articles are rife with opportunities for interesting analysis. So impress us with your brilliance, hipness, and pop-cultural savoir faire. This is all about practice (and nerd/cool points, of course) so really go for it.

Let's say to post (roughly) once every other week, which makes a minimum of 5 posts total. There's no limit to how much you can post. But I'll remind you: if you start honing your analytical skills here, your grade and your chances for success over the next few years will markedly improve. Try stuff out--this is graded simply on doing it. If you're truly exploring, you'll probably make some analytical trips that you look back on and are slightly embarrassed about--and that's a good thing.

Iphone 4 connecting the world

Iphone 4 technology

Since 2007, the iphone has been leading the smartphone technologies. Now three generations later, the iphone 4 is focusing on the connectibility on people. Phones have been gradually advancing altogether. From calling, to texting, to sending pictures, then facebook and twitter, and now the ability to see people face to face in the palm of your hand. Sure you have always been able to talk face-to-face, but now I can see my baby cousin who lives across the country for my first time- anytime I want to. They have seen the problems with previous phones, smart or not, and adjusted to fit the new desires of the population. The iphone is trying to become a new, long lasting, vitually indestructable, social media tool.  Replacing the typical glass screen with a crystal glass 30 times harder than plastic along with the stainless steel frame holding it all together.  The connection idea, bringing people together all across the world, with facetime.  Now people do not even have to go outside socialize. The iphone 4 makes the world smaller. We are all just a video call away, and to the phone we are just a phone number.

    The iPhone has definitely led the industry with break through technology and innovations that most people could not even have dreamed about. They have made a great phone that is extremely powerful as well as very battery efficient. Apple knows what the people want and they always deliver. There has not even been an official announcement of the iPhone 5, yet it is the most talked about product around. Apple is thoroughly integrated into most facets of society today.

    The hardness of the new screen is definitely pretty interesting. With it being 30 times harder than plastic it must be virtually indestructible. I have broken the screen on my phone of couple of times and for a screen to be stronger, that is a plus.

    The I-phone 4 is absolutely incredible! I still am amazed with the technological advances that it possesses. I also love how simple it works, and with the click of a button you can practically see someone who is miles away. It has really changed our society and our way of communicating with others. Using the face time application, we can actually see other's faces and their expresses instead of just guessing through a text.
