Google Glass- Is this safe technology



Google Glass is a headset that you wear like a pair of eyeglasses.The headset has a small prism-like screen tucked into the upper corner of the frame that keeps you constantly plugged in to your e-mail, calls and other notifications so you don't have to miss a beat.

The idea behind Glass is that bringing the technology closer will actually make it easier to disengage from it. Rather than having your head bent over a screen in your hand, you can look up. And rather than flicking through a list of notifications or e-mails to see if you missed anything important, you can make that decision immediately and get on with your day.

Not that you can abandon your phone altogether. Glass is designed to provide a second screen for your device, so you need to hook it up to your phone to get the notifications and other information.
The idea is to have that little notification bar from your phone in a place where you don't have to strain to see it, so you can actually look where you're going while you're out and about and stay plugged in to your inbox.

There are different ways to operate Glass. The device has a touchpad on the side the part that goes over your ear that you can tap or swipe for navigation. You can use voice commands for Glass by adding the phrase "Okay, Glass" to the start of whatever you tell it to do launch an app, take a picture, start a call, etc. Users can also wake up Glass by looking up.

logitec Bluetooth Multi-Device keyboard

This is a newly designed keyboard that can allow the user to interact with up to three devices from the same keyboard. It's manufactures boasts that you can type work, and if necessary respond to a message on your smart phone and tweet on your tablet by the flick of an Easy-Switch dial. I think this product can actually be of some use to its consumers.
No longer would you have to physically pick up your phone in your hand to check messages, the keyboard come with a holder that can actually hold more than one device upright so that no physical contact required with devices such as tablets and smart phone. I think that other manufactures should be thinking along that line in terms of allowing users of a particular product to have comfort when using it.

Cell Phones

It is very interesting to note that the world has indeed changed. The way things were done before it is extremely different now and the major contributor to such change is the innovations in technology. Take for example the way in which we communicate.
 There are some many old fashion methods that was used to achieve communication. Bottles were floated down rivers and streams, persons had to physically walk from one place to another to bring and receive a message, at one point animals were even used and the list can continue.
Fast forward a couple hundred years and welcome to the 21 century. Things are so different these days; a modern invention called "cellular phones" has changed the way people communicate.
We are now able to instantly send and receive messages and if that was not enough we can connect to anyone almost anywhere in the world. We can listen music, take pictures, record videos, browse the internet and these are just a handful of features. Truly cellular phones can be listed as one of the greatest modern inventions, and it has boosted social interaction.

Benefit of computers in schools.

In Grenada the use of computers has not been in our culture; however over the years this important tool has integrated itself into our life style and in so doing has become a major asset. In the area of education especially in Grenada we were restricted to the old fashion way of doing things.
The birth of the use of computers in schools has benefited both teachers and students alike. Schools are now able to store large amounts of information on databases, have it retrieved at anytime with 100% accuracy.
Teachers are able do carry out research which depends the knowledge of students. Students themselves are able to do research and get information on a particular topic almost instantaneously. The integration of computers in school systems in Grenada has proven to be a tremendous success.
