Internet in a positive way...

There is a big influence of technique on our daily life. Electronic devices, multimedia and computers are things we have to deal with everyday.

Especially the Internet is becoming more and more important for nearly everybody as it is one of the newest and most forward-looking media and surely “the” medium of the future.

However, many people tend to give the bad impact of the internet rather than the positive effect..Let’s change over to some positive effect of the Internet.

firstly, we can create new social contacts all over the world, which you could not do so easy without the internet.

Such communities can also help people who can not go out to find friends in the real life because they are disabled. Therefore they can chat with other people via the internet. Sometimes it is also easier for people, who are afraid to look into the other’s face while talking, to chat with a person that they do not know. There is something between them which makes it easier for them to communicate. It also does not matter if you have a terrible appearance because you can pretend to be whatever you want. You can also change your gender and your age to talk about topics which you do not normally do.

However, there are no time and place limitations and there are no boundaries, both geographical and political. You can chat with people in Australia and you have freedom of your mind in a way.

In any case, everybody’s private situation is different. For many women their own children are the main reason for staying at home. Nowadays this won’t be a problem any more, you can do work on your computer at home, called tele-working. Also men take this opportunity to work at home. What are the consequences, the advantages of tele-working? Sure, if you have a family, you can spend more time at home, probably you can spend more time with your children. Next is, that you can organize every day in the way you want to. Meetings at the company are reduced to a minimum. Tele-working is also an advantage for the owner of the company. Official studies substantiate that people who work at home are more motivated than their colleagues at the office...

Teen Speak..

What exactly is an Acronym?

An acronym is a pronounceable word formed from each of the first letters of a descriptive phrase. An acronym is actually a type of abbreviation.

Here's an example of an acronym: North Atlantic Treaty Organization = NATO

Because teens seem to live in the fast lane, they've made the most of today's available technology and like generations before them have come up with their own language.

Anachronisms are nothing new, but in this digital age they've made it easy to convey more information with less keystrokes.

And since teams routinely juggle multiple chat sessions, using anachronisms enables them to keep up the jumble of bombarding messages.

Here are some typical examples of some of the more common and acronyms commonly used by teens today chat rooms rooms, text messages and on cell phones.

These anachronisms are universal across both online and in text messaging.

121: one to one

ADN: any day now

AFAIK: as far as I know

AFK: away from keyboard

A/S/L: age, sex, location

B4: before

B4N: bye for now

BF: boyfriend

BFN: bye for now

BG: big grin

BTA: but then again

BTW: by the way

CID: crying in disgrace

CNP: continued (in my) next post

Attention to mickey fans out there!!

Here, i want to share a secret. There are some gadgets that you know your girlfriend will want one the moment you show it to them. It’s not that they are in need of them, simply just attracted to the outlook. Here’s one that would melt a girl’s heart – Mickey Mouse Mp3 player. This cute little toy comes with a 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB capacity; comes in pink, blue, silver, orange,green, purple, white and black color. The size is as light as 17g, running on rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery, support continues playback up to 8 hours.I bought this mp3 today. It's really tiny, yet plays the best sound I've ever heard from an mp3, it's so unique, the best mp3 player I have ever seen

Nokia X6 gets Comes with Music

Nokia’s recently announced handset, the Nokia X6, looks set to take over the XpressMusic line by offering you up to 35 hours of continuous music playback before requiring a trip to the nearest power outlet. In addition, the 32GB of internal memory alongside a memory expansion slot clearly places this on par with the iPhone when it comes to being a portable audio player, barring the user experience, of course. It does claw some ground by including a slick 3.2″ finger touch interface though, boasting a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio that is optimized for photos, videos and browsing. You can also connect to the Ovi Store directly, letting you remain connected to a maximum of 20 friends and virtual communities always through your homescreen. The Nokia X6 will retail for 450 Euros before taxes and subsidies, as the Finnish cellphone manufacturer prepares to get it ready for shipping come Q4 2009.

Palm Pixi

Palm’s Pre was certainly a watershed device alongside the impressive webOS operating system, signalling new life into this ailing company that was tethering on the brink due to dropping sales and the migration to other smartphone platforms. While the Palm Pre did not do as well as many people predicted, that doesn’t take away from the capabilities of the Pre which is still able to hold its own even until today. Well, Palm has announced its second webOS-powered smartphone known as the Palm Pixi, but don’t expect any magic fairy dust to be sprinkled all over this device for an instant corporate turnaround – there’s still work to be done, but the Pixi does look like a step in the right direction.

Definition of e-learning

e-Learning. eLearning. "e"learning. However you write it, definitions abound.
Bullet The convergence of the Internet and learning, or Internet-enabled learning.

-The use of network technologies to create, foster, deliver, and facilitate learning, anytime and anywhere.

-The delivery of individualized, comprehensive, dynamic learning content in real time, aiding the development of communities of knowledge, linking learners and practitioners with experts.

-A phenomenon delivering accountability, accessibility, and opportunity to allow people and organizations to keep up with the rapid changes that define the Internet world.

-A force that gives people and organizations the competitive edge to allow them to keep ahead of the rapidly changing global economy.

With good design and delivery, e-learning does all these things. But, at its heart, it is, simply, learning. Too bad most interpretations focus on the technology (the "e") and not on the learning.

e-Learning has to keep the people it's designed for in mind. How do we learn? How do we acquire and retain skills and information to help us develop? Only when we address individual learning styles can the "e" in e-learning factor in. Then the technical side—the electronic delivery—can be adapted to the learner.

Maybe the "e" should actually follow the word "learning."

"The effectiveness of an elearners experience is greatly enhanced through student-centered (usability) design. For example, students remember more information from a text book that is well organized, with extensive visuals, reflection/interaction points, clear headings, etc. The same concepts exist for online courses—learners learn better through use of clear headings, limited distracted, visuals, screen-friendly fonts, appropriate white space, web safe colors, etc. Basically, usability is the process of testing (through observation) how students behave with a course—what works, what doesn't, what confuses." — elearnspace.org
