Technology

= = = = **__The HTC Touch __** **__BY: Anna Hill __** ** ** = = = = = = = = == = = = = = = What is the 411 on technology? =//__Technology-__//= Mrs. McGuyers newspaper class is working diligently on wiki’s that she has assigned them. Mrs. Mcguyer has picked out our groups and we picked out what ones we wanted to do. The Fine Arts group is doing Theatre, Band, Technology, Choir, and Art. The students are working very hard and doing an awesome job on the wikis.   Earlier this week the students played a fun game of charades. The game helped us use strong words in our writing. It was very helpful. As of today the students in her class are working on the wiki's to update people on what is happening at Hewitt Trussville Middle School.  Mrs. McGuyer is one of the many technology teachers here at HTMS. There is Mrs. McGuyer, Mr. Adams, and Mrs. Young. We love these teachers for helping us learn and work with technology. We also appreciate what they have done in order to teach us.
 *  Can you even count how many cell phones are out today? I don’t personally think it is possible. There is a new cell phone out today that is called the HTC Touch. It’s so… amazing! There isn’t anything that you can’t do on this cellular device. There is internet access, texting, talking, and much more.
 *  The HTC touch gives you finger tip control. It is so amazing what you can do with this invention. I personally want one. You can get on today at your local cell phone company. Everyone wants one for its unique design and it’s lightweight.
 *  This invention is so amazing! It has a touch screen and you can talk on it obviously. It is known for its cool design. I say it is the most phenomenal invention since sliced cheese! Its so amazing. You should get one today! **

Why is Mrs. Lincoln using Ning.com? =)  MySpace is the #1 attraction for teens. It is not always safe though. Students want to have fun, and teachers want to teach and have fun doing it. So, what do they do?  Ning.com is a website that is just like MySpace. It is meant to be educational and fun for students. The kids get to meet people from all over the world and they don’t have to be 18 to have one. The website is recommended by teachers and the Board of Education. There isn’t any way you cannot be safe while in this network. Remember, it is fun and safe.      Ning.com is fun and educational. It is fun for the students and the teachers. This website is 100% safe for people all over the world. There isn’t any way you can be stalked or bullied on this site. The emails go through the teachers first, then it goes to the students if it is appropriate. So, Ning.com is a fun site we can all enjoy.



In 100 years, there will be no computers. In 100 years, MPEG and QuickTime will be forgotten. In 100 years, CD-ROMs will not exist (whether quad-speed or even faster). In 100 years, there will be no Basic, C++, Perl, or HTML. In 100 years, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers will (thankfully) be only a memory. In 100 years, RISC chips will be extinct. In 100 years, there will be no PowerBooks. In 100 years, Windows® will not exist (Bob® should be gone in less than 5). In 100 years, DOS will still be around somewhere. In 100 years, there will be no Mosaic, Netscape, CompuServe, Prodigy, or America Online. In 100 years, Barney will be extinct. In 100 years, set-top boxes, ITV, and HDTV will be forgotten.

There are many new technological things out in this world today. Look how it’s improved over the past 100 years. Take cars for example. The cars have gone from slow and long to smaller and faster. It has gone from old fords to new and improved **<span style="COLOR: #00b050; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial Rounded MT Bold','sans-serif'">[|**2008 Lamborghini Reventon**] <span style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt; COLOR: #00b050; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial Rounded MT Bold','sans-serif'">s**.

The cars, computers have changed remarkably. New stuff has been invented too! The ipod,mp3 player, cell phones, and on the cell phones, TEXT MESSAGING! That is the most popular thing for teens to do in 2008. That is the most popular part of technology people use today. Not just teens but adults too use it! More than 70% of teens between the ages of 13-18, use text messing to get in touch with their friends and family. It is just cheaper to go and pay $10.00 a month than talk all your money away. **

It is not that these things aren't important--to somebody, but they should not be important to you. These should not be foremost in your thoughts <span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: #ff0066; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Britannic Bold','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial">. <span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Britannic Bold','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial">

In 100 years technology will improve even more and we will not need any of these things. That’s why we have new technology, in order to get rid of the old. **
