...Three passions, elementary yet overwhelmingly strong, govern my life: a love of video games, the advances of technology, and a quest for the knowledge that will help advance mankind. These passions, like a wave moves a boat, have moved me to live my life the way I have to this point. A love of video games brings a joy to any hollow hours that may arise in my day. It has already expended many hours of my life and none of those hours have been regretted. A love of video games can be the catalyst in bringing a group of people together--people who have nothing in common with one another can sit down and have fun while playing together in a game. I have spent time on this finally because even the people who can not see each other face to...

...introduced to computers. I was a wide eyed eight year old who was on spring break, my mother didn’t have anyone to watch me so off to work with her I went. As she led me thru the doors into the Tektronix CPID hardware engineering division I was mesmerized. I knew that day that I wanted to know everything I could about how these machines worked and what I could make them do. I have always had a passion for learning, but for most of my life that passion was fulfilled by educating myself. Either by reading fieroucously about a subject on my own or jumping in with two feet and learning something new. After spending nearly a decade working in and around technology, I realized something was missing. I had hit a ceiling, I knew there was more to know, more that I could learn. I wanted to take my hobby, and turn it into a career. A career that could blend together my passion for technology, and my skills in customer service and communication. It was then that I decided to pursue a degree in Information Technology. When I decided it was time to go to school, I went looking for someplace local, that I could work at a steady pace towards my goals and still work a full time job. This led me to Pioneer Pacific. I received an associate’s degree in Information Technology, which I had already planned to continue thru to a Bachelor’s degree, but between my underclassmen classes and moving on to the second half of my Bachelor’s degree I went forward with obtaining a second associates degree in Web...

...impacted my life, but has inspired thousands of other young people Four years ago, as I began high school, I was acutely aware of the sports culture, as I searched for a suitable student organization to join. Drifting through a maze of school clubs and activities to pursue, I literally ran into a 3-foot tall robot, unaware that this mechanical creature would soon propel me to an intense journey, and the path toward realizing my dream. At that moment, I was not only introduced to the world of robotics, but became aware of Dean Kamen, an individual who has since become the single most inspiring role model in my life....

...CCR 199 H1 S REFLECTIVE JOURNAL Technology and its impact on my life. Prathna Ramesh Technology today plays a crucial role in our daily lives, affecting nearly every activity we perform. Everyone is in constant interaction with technology in some way or the other. The most significant impact of the rapid technological development can be seen in the evolution of electronic devices like computers, mobile phones, and other gadgets. The number of people using those devices is increasing by the minute and we witness a growing dependency towards the use of such gadgets. Technology however doesn’t just refer to electronic gadgets or the internet or machines, as people nowadays tend to falsely believe. What is technology? According to the Merriam-Webster definition, ‘technology is the making, usage, and knowledge of tools, machines, techniques, crafts, systems or methods of organization in order to solve a problem or perform a specific function’. People interact with interacting with various forms of technology, be it banking technology while withdrawing cash at the ATM, or educational technology while learning in high school.

I am able to complete tasks efficiently without time wastage. As everyone does, I use the lamps and the air conditioner in my room, the taps and showers which provide water...

...process. This very reason is why being a software developer is a passion of mine, because in the words of most people in this chosen career “developers make software for the world to use” (Hardiman). Although most interview processes concerning software developing can be tedious as well as challenging, especially over the phone, ultimately becoming a software designer is worth the suffering and sweat. It also helps that a software developer's average salary is higher than most other occupations in the technology field. So, why choose a career in software development; well, it will allow me to pursue my passion for developing software in phones, it’s challenging, and it pays extremely well. Until recently, the iPhone iOS dominated the mobile market, but Google Android has now demonstrably overtaken iPhone in terms of market share, due partly to the power of the Google brand and partly to the platform's openness (Mobile Technology). Moments like this, Google developing something equally great, if not better than, the top developer in the country is why I have such a passion for software design in mobile technology. To create something that reaches all around the globe, knowing it’s the best out there at the moment, would be indescribable. It’s not only the knowledge that I created something great, but also the fact that I fixed something that was in need of being a step greater. Seriously, when I was younger my dad gave me my first computer which didn’t operate fully that I winded up...

...Agony Article What makes a relationship fresh? Hi my name is Sandra I come from a town close to Sheffield which is called Rotherham it’s a small town which can only hold a few thousands.

Imad Says: Take advantage of new technology; text and send e-cards. With so many of us pressed for time, why not use technology to “keep in touch” during the day. A compliment, an affection or a quick “Hello, You are being thought of” via text can spark anyone’s day. E-cards are fast, and convenient. There are many sites that allow you to send them for free. You can find any type of sentiment from cute and funny, to serious and romantic or teasingly sexy. The bonus is that you can include a personal message along with it if you’d like. Hold hands, hug and give quick kisses often. Nothing is as good for the soul and the emotional health of a person as the human touch. As teenagers, we hold hands, give quick kisses as hello and goodbye and cuddle as we sit close. Why not keep that sense of youth no matter how old we are or how long we have been have together as a couple? Holding hands keeps a connection and closeness, no matter what we are doing. An enthusiastic hug uplifts us; a quick kiss says “glad to see you”. You must convince your husband to take you...

...The sweat is trickling down my brow as my little fingers continue to type away on an outdated keyboard. I found myself in a room with no air conditioning at 8 AM one summer. Scrambling to find any way out of these classes, I declared to my parents that taking typing classes in the summer was a cruel and unfair punishment for a kid that just wanted to sleep all day. To no avail, my pleas remained unheard for there I found myself entering my second typing class of the summer. However surprisingly, the second time around, the heat did not seem as unbearable and sounds of the computer almost comforting. Unknown to me, these rudimentary typing classes would become a pivotal moment in my life. Growing up, computers and technology always played an...

The current number two and number one tennis players in the world, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, were one of the first athletes to play with the Hawk-Eye. It was during the 2007 Wimbledon when Federer asked for the machine to be turned off because he had been disagreeing with the majority of its calls as they contradicted his own. There have been other cases where the athletes become annoyed with the Hawk-Eye but transitioning to technology was the roughest patch for athletes.

...laughter is the cure for grief -- life is stronger than death.” If you ask me to describe myself I would say that I am pleasant, diverse, and active man. I think one of my most distinguishing characteristics is the diversity of experiences I possess. I am an engineering graduate with a flair for management. I also have a passion for traveling and exploring different cultures of the world. All these elements have helped me develop a very broad outlook, with varying degrees of knowledge in a range of topics. As a freshman at the undergraduate level, I chose my major in Electrical & Electronics Engineering to ensure a sound technological base. It was in my third year of graduation in Engineering that I was able to touch upon subject like Industrial and Organizational Management, which stimulated my interest towards management. Professional experience has helped me fortify my conclusion that Management science is a major part of the industry and it plays a polar role. After completing my Engineering from Cochin University of Science & Technology, Kochi; which is amongst the best institutes of technical education in India, I joined in as a Project Engineer in Wipro Technologies Ltd.

...Video games have been and continue to be a great part of my life. Ever since the tender age of three I have been fascinated by the interactivity and the captivating graphics displayed by video games. I have developed and retained an appreciation for the capacity that many well developed video games have to blend competitiveness, the need for intellectual dexterity, and pure entertainment. I have long understood the task of producing a game with such comprehensive quality as both an art and a science. In any case, my video game passion has slowly but surely charmed me into learning much about the philosophy of video games, their design and development, and especially the history of video games. Despite my life-long passion with video games, I began a true self-propelled academic investigation into the world of video games only a few years ago. I remember quite vividly that this intellectual journey into the world of video games was prompted by a friend of mine who was intrigued by the fact that I was often engulfed in the world of video games. During those days I was younger and consequentially much more immature than now. Not only did I enjoy video games, I spent a great deal of the few funds which I had on purchasing new games, much of my free time playing games, and a lot of time also discussing video games in general. I was not officially addicted; I always knew when enough was enough and when I needed to spend time completing school work, saving, or spending money to make...

...a few graduate attributes which will help me in succeeding in my career. The first graduate attribute is effective communication skill. Good communication skills help us to present our points and messages in the most convincing way. Firstly, we have to speak proficiently together with gestures, good posture, movement, and good control of our voice because it would help us to convince people easily. Speaking without moving our body or in a monotonous voice will result in a boring presentation and thus, people will find it hard to focus on what we are saying. Effective communication skills also gives clarity which will prevent misunderstandings that lead to arguments. With this skill, our messages will be simple, direct and easy to be uunderstood. Next, accountants have to present to the company’s owners and shareholders every now and then, regarding the company’s financial performance. With effective communication skills, they will feel confident with my work. If I cannot communicate effectively, I will find it difficult to present about the company’s performance and I will also be unable to answer their questions regarding the company’s financial matters. Besides, information technology skills are indeed important in this modern world. We have to learn how to make full use of information technology such as power point slides, e-mails, internet, mobile applications and video calls. These information technology can be used to reinforce communication and enhance people’s understanding...
