The 3rd Interesting Product

  Samsung’s 105-inch curved UHD TV is very interesting. This is one of the first televisions that have a purposeful curve to it. The quality of the TV s supposed to be indescribable. There are pricings for the television yet. However, I think whoever really wants to television will get it. This is going to be an expensive product but I’m pretty sure after it’s on the market for a while the price will go down just like any other product.

The 2nd Interesting Product

 The PrioVR half-body game suit by YEI Technology is very interesting. The apparatus allows gamers to become more interactive the game that they are playing. I find this interesting because a lot of people play video games and a lot of people already invest so much into this type of technology. I just wonder how many gamers will have this when it becomes more available for purchase.

The 1st Interesting Product

I find the DJI Innovation’s Phantom drone to be very interesting. There are several applications of this product. The drone can film full HD videos and take 14-megapixel photos. When set up to Wi-Fi and connected to your phone, you can get a live camera view up to a distance of about 980 ft. Also there is a GPS autopilot program. The drone costs about $1,200 in all. I just find it interesting that technology is evolving so much that we now have all different types of drones flying above us.

IT being used in Western Sahara

The country I researched for the diversity project was Western Sahara. This country has very limited access to Information Technology. The access is so limited that there can not be an exact estimation of how many people use the Internet. But Information Technology is being used by those who do have access to it. Very few hospitals in Wester Sahara have the ability to get information from doctors who are around the world. Hospitals, government agencies, and very few citizens in Western Sahara use IT.

Distance Learning

Countries that have access to Internet can benefit from distance learning the most. For example, countries such as The United States, Canada, and any other well developed country. These types of countries benefit the most from distance learning but the technology that is needed for the learning is already provided.  In developing countries, the access to technology is limited. Therefore, they might not benefit from distance learning as much as a country with access to technology and Internet.

Distance learning can be used in several different ways. For example, colleges offer distance learning to their students. This allows students who may not live near a university still receive lectures and presentations. From my personal experience, distance learning has allowed me to be high school and take college classes at the same time. I am able to watch lectures through Blackboard before my volleyball practices. Distance learning makes it easier for people who may not have transportation to the college.
