Mobile Phone Designs

Out of the 25 amazing different models of phones I looked through, it was really hard to pick just one I would like. Although I don't get to read anything about the features, from the pictures I thought that the new iphone next generation was really cool. It showed something that is connected to your wrist and then the menu is projected onto your hand where you can click the buttons just like you were using the touch screen. Another one I liked was the Fluid mobile phone design where it looks like the phone can bend different ways and be flexible.

Above were the phones that looked the most intesting to play with, but one I thought would make things easier was the nokia icon design. With it acting like a wrist watch, you could carry it around anywhere.

MySpace Takeover

-commericials on tv
-tweet it on their twitter account
-send a facebook message
-send emails
-add a viral pop up onto websites

Using Ecards in Buisnesses

Assignment: 1. Why should a business use e cards?

 It's really important for businesses to incorporate e cards into their  routines. This is because in order to keep up their popularity and sales, a good relationship with their clients is necessary. If there was something needed to be told to a client, a regular email could work but is not as effective. Going online, picking an appropriate e card to suit what they need to say shows the effort they put into things, and that they are being thought of. Since there are always many clients its important for them to feel like they stand out, and are liked or else they could leave the business.

Communicating Skills

After reading through that website and then taking the personal test according to my communication skills, I recieved a 47. It said "You're a capable communicator, but you sometimes experience communication problems. Take the time to think about your approach to communication, and focus on receiving messages effectively, as much as sending them. This will help you improve." I think this applies to me and I will work on my communicating skills more because they are important in life!

Also when they talk about "Cultural Barriers" They are referring to effective communication with people of different cultures is especially challenging. Cultures provide people with ways of thinking--ways of seeing, hearing, and interpreting the world. Thus the same words can mean different things to people from different cultures, even when they talk the "same" language. When the languages are different, and translation has to be used to communicate, the potential for misunderstandings increases.

Going Blog Wild: Swiftpoint - www.futuremouse.com

This mouse really caught my eye. I chose it because of its many features. It's quite small, wireless and can travel wherever you go right attatched to your computer. A lot more precise than a track pad, it can be used on any surface available including your touchpad. It looks like it smoothly moves over surfaces enabling you to work quickly and effortlessly. It seems almost too small for certain hands put its pen-like grip makes it fine to use for any size of hand. Therefore, all of those factors make it a hassle free and ideal mouse.

The weather is always changing. Sometimes if I check at the start of the week it will change in a couple days. That is why I think it is not completely accurate although a good effort to give us an idea of what the winter could turnout like.
