Music Related To Technology!!

Hi everyone!! I will be posting today instead of Wednesday because I am having exams on Thursday and CCA on Wednesday so I will be reaching home at approximately 7-8 p.m. So just in case I would not be able to post on that day, I shall be posting today!!

So today, I will be talking about music related to technology. Have you ever thought back to the dinosaur age where there was no such thing as technology? Have you ever thought about how lives were like without technology to upload music?

I’m sure when you buy your MP3 players or handphones, song does not come together with it. So, people would have to upload it themselves. Imagine living a life without music in the background… how do you feel? If you ask me, I would feel absolutely bored to death. Now that technology is so advanced, you can actually listen to your favourite song on the Internet. To make live better, some people would also choose to upload it onto their handphones so that they can blast the music every single time they feel like doing so.

Uploading songs onto your handphones is indeed very efficient since it finishes its downloading in a blink of an eye (unless your computer hangs). Although some people might think that it is illegal, but as long as you do not send to other people or claim originality, then you are not wrong.

Having music boost your energy because it keeps you awake when you feel like falling asleep (like ME XD). Did you realize that it also helps you to control your emotions? For example, whenever I’m feeling upset, I would play those sentimental songs. Take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQY4dIxY1H4 . This singer is expressing his sad feelings because his wife is sick in the hospital. Don’t you feel sad for him?

So, what I’m simply trying to say is that without technology, there would be no such thing called music and without music, there would not a cheerful life lead by some people.

Here are some other music to keep you people entertain. Enjoy!!

Food(no time on friday)

Hi All.(I know Gabrielle)

I had no time to post on friday when I had to cycle over half of Pulau Ubin and mountain bike through about 100m of grass and mud. I also forgot to prepare a post so I shall begin now.

Today, I will talk about food, as usual. I will talk about phone deliveries. About a decade ago, when somebody wanted to eat, they had three options.
1. Eat Out
2. Buy ingredients and cook
3. Wait for their mother to buy it for them

Well! nowadays, there is a much more convenient way to get food! that is, to order it on the internet. Although this luxury only applies to some restaurants, I think it is one of the best things that ever happened to man kind!

PROCEDURE
when you feel like ordering food and you are too tired to go down and buy it yourself, you can just go online and order it! Is it not awesome? I have only done this once, however, I plan to do so more in the near future.

MY FEELINGS
I think that this is a really cool way to order your food. It is so simple and you can have the food delivered right to your doorstep!

An alternative is to call the restaurant and order your food through the phone. However, I find it less efficient as there is no menu in front of you to decide what you want to order.

Futuristic Fashionista?

Hello everyone! If you think that I cover too much about Justin Bieber, BRACE YOURSELVES! This is yet another post about Justin Bieber. The reason? Because so much fashion is influenced by what you see on the internet, on televsion, in the movies. All because of technology. Now, how is this related? Justin Bieber Never Say Never in 3D has recently appeared in cinemas. Most of the time, Justin was wearing PURPLE. Purple vest, purple shoes (which are really nice by the way) purple hoodie, purple cap, everything! Now, this might sound weird but, what is your favourite colour? MINE Is PURPLE! And part of the reason why is because Justin Bieber's favourite colour is... PURPLE! Yay. Because of that, you can see girls all over the world sporting his favourite colour, that is, purple.

When you go out to Tampines Mall, for example, what do you see people wearing? I just went out with my IPW group to Tampines Mall and guess what I saw? A little girl wearing a Justin Bieber T-Shirt! I also saw many teenagers wearing purple, and guys wearing purple Supras,like Justin Bieber's. -->

This is called: FASHION BEING INFLUENCED BY TECHNOLOGY.

Another example will be LADY GAGA! Lady Gaga is known for her ridiculously weird clothing. Personally, I think her look is a futuristic one. For example, this picture of her wearing shoes on her body!

Check out this website (http://www.posh24.com/trendy_celebrity_clothing/the_futuristic_trend_would_you_wear_it) to look at some stars wearing futuristic clothing! It's amazing! Who knows, maybe someday, we might be wearing things like...



What do you think? Bye for now!

Uso de tabletas para ayudarnos a aprender (using tablets to help us learn)

Hello, friends, teachers and fellow bloggers! Hoy (Today), I am going to talk about using the humble tablet PC to help us in our learning.

Of course, everyone has heard of the mobile tablet PC. Businessmen want them, wives drool over them and students? Well, we may get a chance to use them in the not-so-distant future! After all, laptops are now being used in some schools already, so what is the chance we will not get to use the tablets soon? Isn't it incredible? The tablet PC is incredibly lighter than a laptop and way more convenient to carry. If you ever forget to do your homework you can easily start it up and put it on your lap, unlike a laptop, which is bulkier and heavier.
I have seen a tablet PC being used in a Singaporean TV show, History Hunters, that had its debut just last night. They used the tablet PC to find out locations and to learn more about Singapore's history. Isn't it so wonderful how Singapore has advanced so quickly? That is all for now. I hope you enjoyed my post!

Electronic Number Codes Used in Marathon ( And our upcoming X-country!!)

Have you ever wondered what are those things that people wear during a race? Well, they are electronic number codes. They are commonly used in races held by schools.
They are pretty useful because they save time. In the olden days, people had to take attendance for races using a pencil and paper. Now that technology is so advanced, we can just run all the way to the finish line and your attendance would be automatically taken. Isn't it amazing??
Not only is it useful, it also teaches us life values and helps us in our learning. For example, when in a school race, some people might try to take the easy way out by cheating but now that we have this electronic number codes, no one would be able to cheat and they would learn to persevere on because taking the easy way out is just cheating yourself. They would also learn to be honest under the same circumstances.
