FiLIP

A Phone for Youngsters

     Ever dread buying your child a phone. If they are between the ages of 4-8 then I have the perfect phone for you. The idea of this phone is to ensure your child's safety. Have you ever lost your child. Maybe at Target or another store. Well, my mom did. Careless, right? Well, I bet it will happen to you at one point. So be prepared. I introduce to you the latest, the most fashionable FiLIP!!! This is a very good watch-like phone that allows you/your parents to see where ever you/your child is. So now if you loose your child or get lost your self your answer will be on your wrist. This allows you to make five contacts and has 2 buttons on the side of it. The buttons allow you to call and scroll down. Also, are you worried about your child texting. Well, that's no biggie either. The contact list can only be edited by you/your parents smartphone. So your parents can edit the contacts so that your mom, your dad, grandpa, grandma, and a trusted relative will be in your contacts. Now, those will be the only people you can text. And don't worry about if it will break. The FiLIP is practically indestructible. It has a strong. rigid plastic casing making it harder than ever to demolish. Plus, no apps or games are available for the FiLIP so don't worry about that. Now, do you see the importance and capability of the FiLIP. Well, I do.

My Opinion

     Isn't that so cool. A phone for kids. It's wierd because my parents don't let me have a phone while they already made phones for younger aged kids. I'm starting to think my mom just doesn't want me to have a phone just because. Now, back on topic. The FiLIP has everything a child needs. Notice how I didn't say wants. I said needs. There's a difference you know. As i was saying there is almost nothing better that could improve the FiLIP. Isn't that amazing.

Your Turn

     Now it's your turn. You know how I talked about how no improvements could possibly have been made to make the FiLIP better. Well, guess what you're going to do. In the commets below list any changes or improvements that you think a child could possibly NEED in a situation where you get lost. It's all up to you whether you wanna do it or not. PEACE!!!

Are Dragons Real?

The Beast

     At young ages you might think that dragons are real. You may say that knight killed them all or they rule the sky world or something. But, now people are saying that they are actually real. Just think about it...there are stories about these mythological creatures in many cultures. They all speak of them as these flying beasts. How would all these people think of this exact same creature? This leads many people to believe that they were at one point real. Maybe they were killed with the dinosaurs during the meteor shower or died of no food after the meteor shower. This leads many people to conclude DRAGONS ARE REAL!!!

My Opinion

     Wow! Dragons could possibly be real!!! I mean this is amazing. A new species known to man yet not thought real. If we had proof people against that would feel like a fool on April Fools Day! I wonder what they would be like. Tiny? Huge? Winged? Fire breathing!?? Maybe in the future-hopefully in our life time-we will find evidence of the beastly species. But, we can't control the future so we'll just have to wait and be patient. Or maybe you could, yourself, just go and discover the animal. Overall, it is an exciting "doozy".

Your Turn

     Now do your part as I did mine. In the comments below tell me or list the characteristics or abilities you may think the dragon may have if it were existing. It may be to you a huge winged beast while to someone else a small reptillian, tiny, animal. It depends on you and how you are. So, make me proud and finish this task. PEACE!!!

The Iphone 6!

A Better Phone

     Many people want a phone, right? Well, this is a phone worth waiting for, coming out in September. With new features such as a transparent screen, the skinniest and lightest iPhone yet, and the home button is touch screen. Isn't it soooooooo cool! Read ahead to find all about the iPhone 6. Watch the video below to have a preveiw of the iPhone 6.


My Opinion

     Wow!!! The new iPhone is rapidly hitting us with new features. I think the modified home button and transparent front is the best improvement to the iPhone. I wish there were new colors it could come in, though. Not that it's a big deal, anyways. For the last two iPhones that came out the colors were really the only difference. Besides that nothing really changed. That's why they were bad to me.

Your Turn

     Now that you know about the iPhone 6 tell me which iPhone you liked or will like best. Please post your answer in the comment secton below. Also, if you want you can tell me if you liked the iPhone 6 or not. Please support your answer with specific details (I just realized as I am reading this I sound like a teacher or some kinda' nerd). Peace!!!

Is Technology More Harmful Than It Seems?

Good or Bad (Part 1)

  
   
    Have you ever done homework Sunday night rushing to finish 20 math problems or tried to type up an essay all while watching TV, checking your Facebook page, texting your friend, and watching YouTube? Out of the question, though, technology is very useful. With Facebook you could stay in touch with friends that are oceans and 100's of miles away and texting is also a second use for that. YouTube makes learning easier by just searching up educational videos. We can't forget Google either. With this search engine you can find the capital of Rome in 3 seconds flat.

Good or Bad (Part 2)

     As you know There is a bad side to technology ,even though you might be trying to say no because you support it. Some people don't care about work. They say they will use their device for working purposes yet to find out that they have never done anything school related on it besides texting students from class. Have they ever even went outside to talk face to face or play some football together. Pick your side. What do you think?

  • Good   X Bad
     As you know technology has many abilities, including educational ones. Where do you think people get the information for projects and reports from? Besides books it's most probably going to be from electronics. In addition, (as I had said before)they allow you to stay in touch with others, you could see educational videos that can teach you new things, and you could find useful info in three seconds flat. All this with a simple (not actually simple for some people) device making life easier and in some cases more fun.

   
  • Bad     X Good

     Did you know the average American teenager owns three to four technological devices. Many experts think these are just distractions not helping students learn anything. Think about it. Have you ever used your phone for an emergency or just to text your friends. Plus, all that time having that laptop on your lap or your phone in hand takes time away from real time relationships.

You Turn

     Now it's your turn (as I had said in the heading above). With the evidence above chose which side you are on. Don't just chose based on your opinion, but on the facts in the article. Write all this in the comments below with or without supporting details to back up your side and maybe even including counterarguments for the other side. Pick you side!
