    I watched a video on BBC CLick website that is for homework. The video was great! It tell me the update of new technology now and how those people like photographers make the flat 2D pictures in the computers to make it look more interesting by focus only the things we want in the picture and blur the other. Also make a flat picture to be a 3D picture or model on the computer.

Sony have a new tablet called Sony tablet s1 and s2, the s1 is look like apple iPad and s2 you can folded in half its look like Nintendo DS, it run by android honeycomb.The new Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 also run by android honeycomb it’s like Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 but smaller i think that Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 is faster than Sony tablet!

    I like this TV so much because it can connect to WIFI, tablet and smart also it a see through TV and touch screen. i like when they input the smart phone to the screen so what is show in the smart phone will be on the tv too.

  • safe

    i had watch it and digital text is better becuase it more flexible and moveable easier than text.Form and content can be seperated. it was quite amazing to know that there been a blog been created every half second. web 2.0 people will be able to upload video and picture or even face time with people. i like it when we created the blog we will be the one who organise iit. Web 2.0 is a linking people which share and collaborate.

  • Safe Y10

    i had watch the clip that you post already, this make me know that digital text is better than normal text because it more flexible and moveable. And hyper text caan link anywhere you want. digital form and text can be seperated. It was quite amazing that there are a blos created every half second which not only text because it include uploading video and face time. I like it when the one who create let other people to organise it too. People can use web 2.0 for many thing such as searching, communicating , sharing oppinion and many other thing. the web is now like a linking people which people can share, trade and callobrating easily which made it good for people to do things.

  • Gina

    BBC Click video still the best video i ever watched with lots of information to add in my knowledge. This video is about the Youtube bootcamp for the Star performers to make their video look more professional and more interesting to make peple come in and watch their video. Also how good is Youtube is that we join with other people like our friends to make a video together and do amazing stuff and upload on youtube.

  • Gina

    Another video is the “Web 2.0″ is about now the website are updated a lot, by we can upload pictures, videos, tag friends, meet new people in the social network and make your own blog site or your own web! Nowaday websites like the blog (Tumblr) or social network (Facebook) is so trendy as lots of people play it because they can upload anything or write anything they want. Its their web page or website. Web 2.0 is what they called, so high tech!

  • Thame Senarith

    I had watch the video that you post in the blog about the web 2.0. I found it very interesting! After watched this video i knew that the digital text is better than a normal text. People could use web 2.0 for many things, for instance, communicating, sharing pictures or video also you can add your opinion and many other things. :D

    Hello Mr. Golding,
    I have watched a BBC Click video about the different tablets presented in the IFA conferece. This video talked about how most devices shared the same operating system (Google Android OS) and that caused design copyright problems. In addition, it also explained that some Samsung tablets were banned from Germany due to a design ifringement. As a result, companies such as Sony are reinventing their devices to attract customers.

  • Air

    I had wacth the thing that you post, this help me to understand more about the hyper text but some of it make me confuse but well it’s good to know about that.

  • Fluke

  • Sam

    Mr Golding.
    I couldnt find work that you have set for me.

  • bromsgroveictblog

    Hi Sam. Sorry about that! I have been in Hua hin. I have left work in a post for you.

  • Jessica j

    I have read about input and output devices on Teach-ICT, IGCSE ICT and BBC Bitesize. I have learned that input devices are devices which are used by the user to communicate with the user. Output devices are the results of what the user has commanded. There are many different types of input devices that they are separated into 2 groups, which are Manual input devices and Automatic input devices. An example of an input device is a keyboard, and an example of an output device is the monitor. When the user types something on the keyboard, the CPU processes it and turns it into the output which is the letter on the screen.

  • bromsgroveictblog

    Excellent Jessica. You can create a presentation on input and output devices. That should be enough till we are back.

    Keyboard is developed and is being used in the “Blackberry” mobile phone called 7100v. Blackeberry 7100v is slimmer than the earlier Blackberry device and it looks more like rival smartphone. Blackeberry can handheld email and phoneThe keyboard on the 7100v has two letters on each of its 20 keys. It uses SureType software and a 35,000-word dictionary to work out what you are typing, rather than usual predictive text system, T9, found on many mobiles.
    The Blackberry became a technology icon in the late 1990s as a tool that delivered e-mail automatically to executives on the move. Its competitor is Song Ericsson P900 and Orange SPV C500.

    The keyboard that isn”t there

    The problem with pocket technology like PDAs is its too small to put full keyboard and this lead to clumsy form of data input like hand-writing or typing texts.
    Later Canesta designed a device called “integrated projection keyboard” for mobile and wireless devices. ( Keyboard thaat made of light.)
    The keyboard is made possible by a tiny sensor fitted with three chips – one to beam the keyboard image, the other two to pick up the movement of typing fingers. That typing movement interacts with the light and sends signals to the sensor. It uses low-cost semiconductor-based

    “Computer injury risk to children”

    The children are facing the long term pain because of using adult computer equipment which is not suitable for the children. Repetitive strain injury was a particular risk, particularly as children’s muscles and bones are still developing. Professor Buckle research, involving more than 2,000 youngsters and the result show that about 36% of 11 to 14 year olds suffer with back pain. And for the long term problem is the children is suffer with a low back pain which is used to happen with adult. This mean to decrease the risk the children need to use the equipment that is suitable for them.

    “Nintendo plans one-handed joypad”

    The one handed joypad which use a wireless controller so the motion sensors on the controller will make the same movement in the TV as we do. Moreover, it allows both experienced and new gamers to stand on the same starting line. The one-handed joypad controller was aimed to change new users to gaming that is scared off the fast pace of existing games. The wireless sensor controller changes the past because the older one is a two-handed controller with a button. The one handed joypad can be used to fight with the on screen weapons but it was still weak on representing the action of it. And this one handed joypad is release in 2006.

    Summary of:

    “Intel debuts text reading device”
    Intel had designed a device to read printed text. The device itself captures text and reads it aloud then displays it on the built-in screen. It was developed by Intel Access technology director, Ben Foss who is dyslexic. As he said “The Intel Reader is a tool that can help give people with dyslexia, low-vision and blindness – or other reading-based disabilities – access to the resources they need to be successful in school, work and life,” he means that this device is useful for blind or partially sighted and dyslexic people. This device is a size of a paperback book with a high resolution camera and Intel’s Atom processor. It weighs 600g (1.3lb) it was launched in the UK on the 17th of November in a event in London. It was sold around £1000. He said it could benefit 8 million people in the UK. 6 million who has dyslexia and other learning difficulties and the other 2 million with impaired vision. This device can play MP3 files and DAISY books. It concludes tactile buttons, and menus that are read out, it is easy for people with little vision or no vision to use. The company’s move into the disability market was welcomed by the Royal National Institute of Blind (RNIB) and the British Dyslexia Association (BDA).

    “Bus smartcard scheme rolled out”
    A new Welsh “Oyster” card is a smartcard to speed up using public transport in Wales. It is called the Welsh “Oyster” card to reduce costs and improve efficiency. Users can just swipe their cards on a special equipment installed in 2500 buses across Wales. There are 650,000 concessionary past holders which can be used in Wales and over the border into England. This is a great idea, as Deputy First Minister and Minister for the Economy and Transport Ieuan Wyn Jones said: “I’m delighted that this new system will now be in place for all users of the free bus across all 22 local authorities in Wales.” as this is such a great benefit for users the National Transport Plan, The Welsh Assembly Government plans to introduce the new Wales Transport Entitlement card by 2014.

    “Nintendo plans one-handed joypad”

    One-handed joy pad use a wireless controller, so the movement that you do with one-handed joy pad will appear one the screen. The user can feel when they play the game, such as, baseball or boxing; These are all work by a motion sensors
    Nintendo’s Revolution console will be released in 2006 but it is likely to appear after launches by rivals Microsoft and Sony
