...Malaysia is classified as one of the countries that are rapidly developing in technology. Along with our neighbor country Singapore, Malaysia is improving in technological industry that has been approved as an effective device in improving education, communicative skill and creative thinking besides serving as nation’s improviser. Ministry of Education proposed the use technology as one of the main sources to improve and empower English speaking skill among primary school students. This proposition, of course were accompanied by agrees and disagreement from various parties. Almost 67% of the objections came from parents who are concern about the negative effect of technology if the policy of using technology in education is enforced. (Ministry of Education, 2009) This is because, the spreading issues of technology’s negative effect has seems to blend into our community. Nonetheless, everything comes with its pros and cons. In preview, we will discuss about how effective usage of technology can improve one’s educational standard. Television has indeed increase the percentage and improves the academic level of students especially in the age of primary school students. Based on a research by Dr. Lim Yeoh Soon (2010), a professor of Children Development, technology like television can improve one’s academic standard as the most effective visual aids, if use correctly and under strict observation.

...Running Head: SMARTPHONES AND THEIR EFFECT ON OUR SOCIAL INTERACTIONS Smartphones and their Effect on our Social Interactions Ashley L****** NMCC Abstract We walk through this world with our heads down. Immersed in the technological realm, we disregard the real. We converse with our hands rather than our mouths, tapping keyboards and touchpads to the rhythm of our thoughts. This is the way we communicate in the 21st century. In the last decade, advances in information technologies have substantially altered the way humans interact. Between email, texting, social networking, instant messaging, and Skype, people now have the resources that would make it possible to spend days or months without coming face-to-face with another person, yet still remain connected with the world. I love my smartphone. I am in awe at just how much phones have advanced in the last 20 years. From the first one that was gigantic in size, then leading to a smaller simple flip phone to these beautiful, amazing slim pieces of hardware that can do more than I could have ever imagined a phone doing. Smartphones are something to be amazed with. Smartphones can certainly make our lives easier for us as we use them for everyday tasks such as communicating, checking our calendars, using as alarm clocks, as calculators, setting reminders and so much more. However, as smartphones keep advancing with new ways to make our lives easier, are they hindering our natural need for social...

...“Discuss the concept of perceived value and its importance to consumer behaviour and marketing. Discuss the theory and then give practical examples of how customers perceive various brands and how this impacts on their behaviour” Background The perceived value is “the worth that a product of services has in the mind of the costumer. The costumer’s perceived value of a good or service affects the price that he or she willing to pay for it. For the most of the part, costumers are unaware of the true cost of production for the products they buy. Instead, they simply have an internal feeling for how much certain products are worth to them. This in order to obtain a higher price for their products, procurers may pursue marketing strategies to create a higher perceives value for their products. Perceived value is often used with perfumes, for example. Perfumes tend to be associated with a glamorous celebrity in order to create a mystique and perception of luxury. As a consequences of the social and economic development of modern societies, the study of consumer behaviour has undergone a strong development process, during the past years consumer behaviour acquiring its own status among sciences. However scientists concern with the study of consumer behaviour covers a time span of many decades. There have been several approaches related to consumer behaviour concertized In fundamental theories and models, such as Marshall “economic model”. And marketing is the management process...

...cellular phones and it is estimated that in the next four years there will be a 7 trillion wireless devices (LI-CHUN& RANGAPILLAI, 2010).The wildly spreading smart phones require a relatively high data rate, which eventually causes more power consumption. Recent studies are trying to develop a new technique for reducing the power consumption in cellular networks and making it more environment friendly, with taking the efficient power transmitting to the user on their consideration. The first mobile network consisted of only one base station; currently there are more than 4 million base stations worldwide to satisfy the huge demand on the mobile networks. On average each base station is using about 25MWh per year, which is about 60 percent of the total power consumption of mobile network (NAHAS et al., 2012). The focus of the proposed project is to increase the energy efficiency of the mobile networks without decreasing the quality of service of the mobile networks; it is combining and improving of suggested mechanisms to improve the existing mobile networks and hopefully to be implemented on future networks. B. Problems to be addressed The main issue that faces the decreasing of the energy in cellular networks is that more than 55 percent of the whole power consumption in the mobile operator happens in the base stations (BS’s) (VADGAMA & HUNUKUMBURE, 2011). The base station is the part of the network that is wirelessly connected to the user’s mobile phones. The consequence...
