UltraHaptics

UltraHaptics is a company that is trying to change the way we interact with our electronic devices. They create three dimension shapes that appear in thin air out of ultrasounds. You are able to touch thin air and control things on your phone.Changes in air pressure are perceived as suspended tactile surfaces, creating invisible but tangible interfaces. The company hopes one day this would allow users to not just see the virtual world projected in front of their eyes, but to touch it as well.Creating buttons and shapes literally anywhere they're needed opens up a slew of possibilities for more traditional devices as well.

Spring Break

Portsmouth New Hampshire

Rye Harbor Beach

Over spring break I went to my home town in Exeter New Hampshire. I spent Easter at my dad's house, and got to see all my sisters. Almost everyday my friends and I went to the beach. There are many different beaches you can go to, so we went to a different one everyday. We couldn't swim because it wasn't that warm there plus the water is freezing cold. We would park the car and climb up on the rocks and take pictures. There is a town near by called Portsmouth. We drove there and walked around, There are many little stores that you can go in and restaurants that over look the water. One of the places we went to was the Portsmouth Brewery. It's a nice bar and grill, and we know the owners. I also went horse back riding and I got to wash the horses and take lessons. Another place we went was Phillips Exeter Academy. It's a boarding school and people all over the world go there. We went to the gym that is there. It has tennis courts, two basketball courts, a pool, a regular gym, and and indoor track. We watched our friends play basketball and went swimming, then hung out around the track.

Many people have trouble typing on small keyboards whether its an iPhone keyboard, laptop key board, phone board, basically any electronic device that has a keyboard. This causes people to get frustrated and it takes longer to type something. An new app has recently come out where you can write out what you want to say with your finger and it will translate it into text. If you want to put an emoji you can just draw it out and it will pick the one that looks similar. Another way to make typing faster is using your voice. Another way to type in an easier way is to slide your finger from each letter and it will create the word.

Google Upgrades Android Wear Ahead of Apple Watch Launch

With the Apple Watch set to hit store shelves this week, Google wants to make sure we don't forget about Android Wear.

So, the Web giant has just detailed some new features headed to Android Wear-powered smartwatches, including Wi-Fi support. Google said it plans to roll out the updates to all seven Android Wear watches over the next few weeks, starting with the new LG Watch Urbane.

The Wi-Fi support means you'll be able to connect to your smartphone, even when you don't have it on you. For instance, if you go out for a run and leave your phone at home, you'll still be able to get notifications, send messages, and use your favorite apps as long as your watch is connected to Wi-Fi and your phone has a data connection.

Wiki Opinion

Before watching the video I used to think that wiki was an unreliable source because of the things I've heard. For example people said that anyone could go on and edit/change the information on the website. Now that I saw the video, I know that the group of people who put the information on the website go in and edit and make the changes, and get the information from reliable sources. I think its a good starting point if you are researching for a paper because it has links to many other websites. 

Reflection

This article made me think about the types of things I post and say and what other people post and say on social media. I don't post pictures that are bad or say anything that is bad on social media. Once you say something on the internet it never goes away so I try to be careful about the things I say. I've noticed that when I go on Instagram or Twitter, many of the people I follow say or post inappropriate things. It doesn't bother me at all, but it may bother some other people, and later on in life affect the choices they want to make. Most people that post pictures on social media are posting it so they can receive a lot of "likes." When I post things I don't really care how many likes it gets, I'm posting it because I like it and I want other people to see it. I keep in mind that colleges may look at my accounts when I apply. I normally try not to curse and I don't post things that would affect other people.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 is identical to the Iphone. The on and off button, volume, and finger print option is the same. It looks as  if the designers of the galaxy were trying to make it like an iphone but for people who do not like apple. The Galaxy S6 is noticeably fast at loading things. The iphone sometimes has to pause and you have to wait for things to load. The screen is nice and big and like the iphone you are able to change the brightness. The camera is said to take pictures faster than the iphone. Many of the features on this phone are similar or exactly like the features on the iphone. This is a phone mainly for people who do not like the apple company.  It costs about $650 but on contract is $200. The designers say it is a new and improved iphone.
