...Eassy on“A Screen at your Fingertips” Technological thoughts of scientist are changing rapidly all the moments in the era of information technology. It has been proven that there is no end for technological development. A thought for ‘A Screen on Fingertips’ is one of best example of endless attempt. What is Screen at Fingertips? – Made using particular organic light-emitting materials, the interactive thumbnail can display fonts or characters hidden under thumb or fingers on an integrated OLED screen(96 x 64). The proposed display augments the use of a finger by allowing for always-available visual feedback," write the researchers in their paper, NailDisplay: Bringing an Always-Available Visual Display to Fingertips. "What you control is what you see.”The technology, dubbed NailDisplay, has the potential to revolutionize the way we use devices Leading Thinkers or researcher of “Screen on Fingertips” technology: Chao-Huai Su and colleagues of National Taiwan University in Taipei are the leading thinkers of this technology. They are trying to work out how we will use it when it does arrive. So they created a clunky, half-centimetre-thick, 2.5-cm diagonal OLED screen and attached it to a large finger ring so they could give the idea a test drive. Image: Chao-Huai Su et al/National Taiwan University/Academia Sinica) Aim: The aim of the technology is to allow you to see what's on your device's screen even when your thumbs are covering up the display Cases...

...legitimately do think that the technology-based information resources at our command now are incredible… We have at our fingertips knowledge and power that’s intoxicating… This is indeed a brave new world, but there is a cost.” This quotation means technology has built a world that is faster growing, filled with unlimited knowledge and resources that humans can’t wait to use. However, there is something to lose or give up when humans interact with technology. This is valid because technology brings people from all over together but also brings a bad influence to people of all ages and around the world. Feed by M.T. Anderson, Growing up Digital, Wired for Distraction by Matt Richtel, and in the 2013 film, Her, by Spike Jonze are used to support why new-media technology is detrimental. The Feed presents an implicit argument that the feed technology is detrimental because it was specifically designed for educational purposes but, then, became used for social and entertainment. It is clearly ironic when Titus speaks about the feed for education, but then, he uses the feed for chatting, shopping, and hanging-out. Titus’s speech pattern is very uneducated using childish words showing he does not use the feed for education. “People were really excited when they first came out with feeds. It was all da da da, this big educational thing, da da da, your child will have the advantage, encyclopedias at their fingertips, closer than their fingertips, etc.” (Anderson, 47) This is a problem is because...

...By Leaps and Bounds Technology is a wonderful aide in our society. Having the ability to access information at the stroke of your fingertips is a gift to people. We are able to research on the go, carry multiple books to read in the palm of your hand, and even be able to navigate digitally rather than carry a paper map. There are so many benefits to technology and the advances quickly achieve, in a matter of months! However, like many things in life a good thing can be bad in the wrong hands. As much good technology provides society with by having information in a flash at their fingertips there is the ominous cloud of this same technology gathering information and using it to hurt others. Sharing information has now become dangerous and society must adapt to the ever-changing world of technology and protect them. One of the major changes seen in government was the adoption of the Patriot Act of 2001. This act pertains to the government being able to access personal information and share it under the covering of protection and security. The Department of Justice states, “The Department of Justice’s first priority is to prevent future terrorist attacks. Since its passage following the September 11, 2001 attacks, the Patriot Act has played a key part and often the leading role- in a number of successful operations to protect innocent Americans from the deadly plans of terrorists dedicated to destroying America and our way of life. While the results have been important...

...technology advances, the more students will have to learn to adapt. With technology in classrooms, students will now be able to understand information and turn in tasks at their own pace. Giving children technology will let them have additional resources needed to help them learn. Throughout time technology has enlarged a tremendous amount. 50 years ago, a family would be lucky to have a single telephone. Now in modern times each family averages one per person. In the article, “In Defense of Technology” Andrew O’Hagan that, to believe in progress is not only to believe in the future: it is also to usher in the possibility that the past wasn’t all as great as it seems. In the past citizens had slightly more trouble completing school work or jobs that would be quicker with technology.

...Yili Zhao Kara Lybarger-Monson English 1A 25 November 2012 Addicted to Smartphones? Have you ever experienced a sudden burst of laughter from someone beside you, and when you turn your head, that person is just watching his or her cell phone without realizing that he or she is in public and disturbs others? Have you ever paid attention to what people around you are doing when waiting for a bus, sitting in the subway, or even before a meal comes to the table? How many of them are holding a smartphone with eyes focused on the screen and fingertips busy dancing back and forth on the touch panel, and never get bored? With the development of 3G and wireless technology, cell phones are no longer restricted to simple communications such as calling or texting. After the appearance of smartphones, things like surfing the Internet, socializing, taking photos or even FaceTime can be done instantly in your hand. Smartphones are becoming parts of many people's lives. These days, a new phenomenon named "smartphone addiction" has emerged. In fact, recently in China, the spread of smartphones has attracted more and more young people into the world of virtual Internet at the expense of their interaction with real world relationships; it has also aroused heated discussions on whether or not we should take some actions on limiting this tendency. As a matter of fact, even though smartphones have created a more convenient life and have also changed our way of communication in a...

...Dress code is a very sensitive subject at Avon High School especially when the idea comes up of uniforms. I interviewed a series of 5 people, 2 students in class, 2 students out of class, and 1 teacher. However, one story stood out to me the most to me; Landis’s acquaintance was walking down the school hallway with cleavage showing out. Right before the bell rang an administrator stopped her and told her to follow her down to the office for showing too much, “It was a thrilling experience,” Landis said. The first subject interviewed was freshman Skylar Jakresky. When I asked her how she felt about the dress code she responded I think it’s unequal between the genders because males can wear showing items such as tank tops and non-fingertip length shorts and females cannot. But then when asked to go further with her statement she completely contradicted her first statement by saying that we have a more lenient dress code that does not objectify both genders. Then when asked what her dress code would be she responded tank tops, you can show shoulders, and you can wear leggings however, you want....

...The human body is amazing and it gives us a variety of different methods to interact with the world we live in. We receive information from the world via our senses. Each sense is distinct and different. Each sense provides us different experiences. Two people can be in the same situation but based on what they sense, they will each experience something different. Everyone relies upon their senses differently and some of the senses may be more accurate than others. I will discuss three reasons for believing in the accuracy of sensory data, three factors contributing to the accuracy of sensory data, and the role of memory with regard to the interpretation and evaluation of sensory data. Our senses act as our lenses, amplifiers, particle detectors, and pressure and heat gauges (Kirby & Goodpaster, 2007). Our sense of smell warns us of dangers, such as smoke or poisonous gases. It also helps us enjoy the flavors of our favorite food and drink. With our sense of smell receptors, we are able to detect thousands of distinct smells. Reactions to smells are rarely neutral; one usually either likes or dislikes a smell. Smells leave long lasting impressions and are strongly linked to our memories. Our sense of taste protects us from eating poisonous and unsafe foods. We are likely to spit out something that tastes bad, before it has a chance to enter our stomachs. Taste also helps us to maintain a consistent chemical balance in our bodies. For example, our liking sugar and...
