Google Upgrades Android Wear Ahead of Apple Watch Launch

Android Wear watch facesWith 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.

Iphone For People Who Hate Apple

Read the article!

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.

Bullet Proof Suit


This bullet proof suit is a new way of being "stylish," and safe. It was created for people who travel to unsafe regions in the world, or for people who just want to feel safe. The man who created this put a skinny piece of bullet proof material in between the fabric of the suit. When shooters at gun ranges tested it out, they found that the bullets did not go through the suit. The creator not only created a nice suit, but he created a suit that could save a persons life. It is priced at twenty thousands dollars as of right now. For people who can't afford it, they have come up with a bullet proof bag as well. The bag is priced at nine hundred dollars.

Laser Procedure Can Turn Eyes Different Colors

Laser Procedure
There is a new medical procedure that allows you to change your eye color from brown to blue. They decided to come up with this procedure when they noticed that blue eyes are one of things most people notice. The procedure is based off the amount of pigment the eyes have on their surface. The brown eye has more pigment than the blue eye has. The company has found a way to disrupt the pigment, which causes the body to automatically remove tissue. It only takes about twenty seconds to do this, but you have to wait a few weeks to start seeing results.
