Tech Tool Evaluation

http://slotted.co/

What I like:

• you cans end personal email invitation , but you can also invite your Facebook friends.
• you can also limit sign ups to your event if you just want a limit of people going to it.
• you can collect extra details from each sign up 
• it lets personalize your invitation to your event like if you have a multi date event

What I do not Like:

• i have never heard of it maybe it could find a way to make propaganda
• it too complicated to a sheet or an event they ask you many unnecessary question
• it has an option of inviting the whole world like making the party a site with its own url you do not know the people who sign up, too public

Ways to use it: for creating a party or event , for making a product popular or noticed (propaganda)

http://www.techdigg.info/2012/09/youtube-quiz-feature-currently-being.html#.UMDiFuSClJ8

What I Like:

• it lets add extra interactivity to your videos
• also if you are saying an informational video they can quiz and you can see how much you understood
• you can identify one of the answers as correct so that your viewers can see summary of the answers on your analytics page

What I do not Like:

• it hasn't even been created its in a beta stage of development
• it can be not published or the project taken down without prior notification
• the questions are displayed at the top of the video

Ways to use it: if you have questions and didn't understand a video, if its a video with an informational
 topic and you want to see if you learned about it.

M-Banking or Electronic Wallets

I don't have any knowledge regarding this topic.

• What are they?
• How do they work?
• How can you create one

http://www.investorwords.com/1681/electronic_wallet.html
http://www.google.com/wallet/how-it-works/index.html

What I learned:

• with the electronic you can carry all your cards credit, debit,etc. on your phone and access them whenever you want
• you can also have an account with your wallet information so that if you are going to buy an app on your phone you do not have to re-enter all your information but instead it automatically charges the game to the card you entered
• smart phones with special chips that can transmit credit card information and receive store offers.
•  this wallet also enables you to buy thing online you just have to look for the button that enables you to pay with your Google Wallet.
• only 2% of the phones have the chip that enables them to pay
• the technology used to enable this kind of technology is called NFC: near-field communication
• only 25 of the top 100 U.S Retailers are set up to accept this payment type.
• purchases you make online are backed up by their fraud protection policy (Google Wallet). 

It connects to me because my phone has this technology and I have a Google Wallet account., I have used this account various times to buy apps I want but I didn't know you could buy with it in online stores.

Will this type of technology strive, succeed?
Will all retailers/stores want to acquire the technology to enable their costumers to use this technology?

Google Day 4

3 Goals:
Work on App:

I found this very useful website that lets create your own app, although you have to use social accounts for this page http://mobilecp.conduit.com, this enables you to create an app that is made of Social feed pages (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter).

Available Markets:
although the app was free to create, to put it in a market still costs money, the cheapest one is Android Market which costs 25 dollars to upload.

Creation:
our app was created it is online due to our lack of profit, but with some donors it will be in at least one market place (apple, android, windows).

next class: work on presentation

Google Day 3

3 Goals:

•  Work on the app: we were unable to find a website that was really useful to build the app we wanted. also some of the websites we chose or entered were way to advanced for us to be able to understand them. maybe when we learn more about coding and developing software we can comeback and understand these complex sites, and then be able to create the game that we wanted. http://www.rarewire.com/rw/ this is an app creating site that was way to complex for me to create an app it involved coding and developing knowledge which i do not have.
• Ways to put it in an app market: we discovered that either way we lose money if we want to upload our app to any market well first you must pay to have the developer program, and then if we acttually make any profit out of the app they take like 20-30% of the profit we make. and all the other programs that said we didnt have to pay take 50% of the profit we make. so either way we end up losing a lot of money.http://www.appdesigner.com/apps/,  https://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/
• software of an app: to develop the software of an app is the most difficult part and for this we had to enter the developer program of either mac or android and we had to buy, plus only a developer who has knowledge about this can make this software and we don't posses that knowledge  https://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/

Google Day 2

3 goals:

1.How to create an app:
i found this awesome website https://www.capriza.com/get-started/ it lets you create a financial app, it lets you search through sites and post information of this sites to your app to make your app an easy access to the information on this sites,plus it gives a tutorial on how to create it. also there is http://www.appdesigner.com/apps/ which enables you to create mostly music apps, and app relating to fitness and your body.

2.Conclude in which store we are going to display our app:
we want to have our app available in the iPhone app store and in the android store. to put it in the iPhone app store there is once again app designer http://www.appdesigner.com/apps/  well it enables us to publish it in the app store for free but in return we have to give them half of the profit we make with the app, or we could just pay 99 dollars to get the membership to the app store and be able to publish apps free and keep 70% of the profit https://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/ , but the problem is that if the app doesn't succeed you just lost 99 dollars.http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505144_162-36942435/how-to-build-an-iphone-app-in-6-easy-steps/ this is a site that guides you through steps in how to put your app in the android market or Google Play store.

3. how to build, publish, and make money on it:
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505144_162-36942435/how-to-build-an-iphone-app-in-6-easy-steps/
this is a very useful site that tells you how to build and make your app successful in six steps.
http://mashable.com/2012/05/01/start-an-app-business/ this page also gives you an overview on what is to have a successful app, and how much profit is taken away and it gives you awesome tips to make your app famous, it has great tips from successful app creators. The first step in having it make money is to start selling it to consumers. "For Apple devices, all apps are sold through iTunes, while Android apps can be sold in several different outlets, including Google Play and Amazon."

next Google day want to learn about my app what is its software, when are we going to publish it , etc.

Evernote

Evernote

The pupose of evernote is that it is kind of like box or in other words it is like an online microsoft word were you save a document and then you can access it from any other part in the world just by logging in to your account. The purpose is that you can see, edit, print your documents from any place you are or from any place you want. it can also search for many things kind of like Google. also it is supposed to record any idea, a thing you heard or saw to enable you to capture anything you want.

How to create a Notebook in Evernote(Mobile Phone):

1. fist of all you must create an account with your email
2. then after your account is created the main page will appear
3. at the top right corner there are some icons there is one of a book with a plus sign, click on it
4. then name your Notebook
5. put OK
6.  and you created it
7. then to put a note or document in your notebook

12. to save your note at the top left there is a check mark click on it and your note will be saved on the notebook you chose

this snapshot is from a computer not a cellphone

Examples of how might it be used by other students in class

• as a agenda 
• as a homework recorder or planner
• as a notebook or binder during class
• as a online usb
• as a document carrier
• as a picture saver or taker 
• as a search site kind of like Google
• etc...

Digital Nation

I  agree with the idea that at MIT they allow to have laptops out well because in my case all my school tools can be found in my laptop, and I have most of my work and projects there.

I agree with the students that say that everything revolves around technology everything has technology well even in Africa there is Facebook every information is in the internet, you can accomplish many tasks through the internet.

I disagree with the idea that multitasking makes us slower well i have do my homework while multitasking and seen that i do them faster than when i am not.

I also disagree that we get distracted while multitasking because of new technology like Facebook because i can my homework perfectly in my computer without getting distracted by pages like YouTube or Facebook 

I disagree when it says that kids that do not have their brain developed should not play with video games but outside in the park, well i spent most of my time as a child playing video games and nothing happened.

 

I agree when it says that the PC bombs attract kids and they can even stay there all night well i have seen in New York that many teens are in there form the morning until like 9 pm 

at the beginning of the movie some people said they could not live without texting i disagree i think they are being a little exaggerated if generations before us could we also can

 I  agree when nit says that people have died or past out because of too much gaming well i personally have seen a case were we gamed for more than 20 hours and my friend started to have seasures and convulsions 

i disagree with Korean rule that they teach 2 year old how to use a computer responsibly because they are too little for that and it is unfair with them 

I agree when it says that Koreans are very addicted to the internet well when i go online to video games about 50% of them are Korean and they play for abnormal time periods well some of them play 30 hours straight.

I disagree when it says that technology and video games interfere with our school grades and lower them because this year i am playing video games more than ever and my grades have not lowered they are higher than last year

I agree with what a student said that he doesn't have to read anymore, that he hasn't read in years that now he  uses Spark notes.well i myself do this I also have not read a book in like 2 years I use Spark notes.

I disagree with the idea or action that teachers can enter the camera of the computer you are using and watch you because that is just creepy and I would feel uncomfortable knowing this, and that is rape and cyber bullying  

i disagree with the idea that due to our addiction to do everything easily in the future we will not be able to work productively. well i have worked in a factory various times and i even worked more quickly than most of the other people.

I agree with the idea that games attract people who are not successful i n life well because in the game they can be whatever they want. i have seen this occasionally when i went to my summer camp and met some people that were immersed in the world because they bonded with their character believing they are it and it makes them feel good.

I disagree with a girl that says that she fell in love with a guy through a game. well you cannot fall in love with someone  you have not seen in his real appearance, or never met

I disagree with the idea that if you are taller you have a higher chance of winning a deal. well height has nothing to do with persuasion and deals in the real life

I disagree with the idea of training soldiers with a video game and teach about battle like this, because video games do not compare to real life well if you die in a video game you re-spawn in real life you do not

I agree with the decision taken that now they use computer controlled drones instead of real pilots well we avoid unnecessary deaths of our soldier and people this is much safer.

But i also disagree with overuse of drones because they cannot differentiate terrorist from civilians and so by using drones to bomb Iraq many civilians have died.

I disagree with the idea of using video games to attract kids and teens to join the army, well they do not know what they are getting into.

I agree with the protestants that protest against the army for attracting their kids with video games well they are doing and fighting for the right thing and defending their kids

I agree with the idea that "technology is not good or bad it is complicated" well that is how i look and see technology, and understand it.

What is the process for applying to university?

http://www.universitiesintheusa.com/how-to-apply.html
http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/application/index.html
http://www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/universities/applying-to-university/

There are different processes of applying depending on each university. each university has different deadlines to their applications and requirements for their applications. here is like a general application for USA and Canadian universities: carefully review degree choices the want you want o choose, if you need advice contact an enrollment advisor, then you can complete the online application form, then send them your academic transcripts in English, a bank statement, English certificate level, copy your passport identification and send it also, and your student essay. some universities like Stanford might ask for your SAT and ACT scores. or many other things.

White Hat Hacking

I do not know anything about this topic that is why I chose it.

What is the difference between it and normal hacking?
Is it special, is it specialized in hacking some sort of code, program or page?

http://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge/0811/famous-white-hat-hackers.aspx#axzz27fo7GNof
http://www.secpoint.com/What-is-a-White-Hat.html

• white hat hackers are the good hackers to put it in a way, use their hacker abilities for good
• they help out organizations that might have security breaches, and they let them know of this breaches so that they can fix it and avoid getting hack
• they are ethical hackers 
• they are also known as white knights, sneakers, white hats or as we already know white hat hackers
• they are the opposites of the black hat hackers
• the NSA offers certifications to this type of hackers 
• they literally hack into a system of software of a company from many points so search or spot any weaknesses 
• Then after they spot them they go ahead and fix or close the breach they found,m and strengthen the security system of that company or software

well it relates to my life in a way that i like to see or discover new ways to hack into my own Facebook account so that when somebody seriously does it to me i can counter-hack it and know exactly what to do.
i also like to do this when my friends get hacked and help them take action. By the way I also like hacking for personal purposes but not to hurt any software or page. I would also like to do this to help companies avoid getting hacked by black hat hackers.

What is a grey hat hacker?

Google Day 1

My goals for today:

learn how to put the app or post it in the app store.
https://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/ what I learned was that to enroll or upload your app to the app store you have to buy a program called the iOS developer program. the only problem is that you have to buy or subscribe to this program and they charge you 99$ dollars an year.

learn how to be able to design an app the way I want (background, sounds, colors, etc)
http://www.appdesigner.com/ this is a webpage specially create to tech and guide you on the steps to create an app, this website shares videos a lot of them are tutorials on designing your own app, this program also lets you upload your app for free to the app store although the app cannot be free it must have a price it6 must be monetized and this awesome program lets you design, create, develop your app.

how to monetize your app and get people interested in it
http://developer.android.com/training/monetization/index.html
http://www.e-string.com/content/9-ways-monetize-your-ios-app
you don not necessarily have to create an app you can develop the software for an app and then get some app developers interested in it and they can purchase it from you if you don't know what the app designs will be or are not interested to create it. or if you have the idea for the app you can just create it upload it to the store and put a price on it. and wait for the profit. another thing is after you put it in the app store patronize it by announcing it publicly so people are aware of it in this way it will be purchased or have more purchases. one of this pages is for apple the other for android.

here are a list of people who got rich just by creating an app http://www.saidaonline.com/en/news.php?go=fullnews&newsid=24635 there are tons of people!!!!!

my goal for the next class is to have a trial or demo of the app

Google 20%

The skill I want to study or learn how to design an app or about app designing. I am going to do it with my partner Ignacio Pardo. I want to learn the basic skills to start programming or creating an app, how to upload it or put it in the app store, play store, android market. how to monetize it. how to program the details of the game. And these are some of the few skills I want to learn during my project. how to create an app instructions/steps

we are going to present our idea or app, or what we have learned about them we are going to present it in the form of a power point. if we succeed making the app we will surely present to you the app for free, also we could present to you the knowledge we gathered and understood. if we fail to develop the app then we will present and show you our mistakes so in the future you do not do the same and also what we learned and how will we try to fix it.
