“Social media is about sociology and psychology more than technology” says technology analyst and award-winning author Brian Solis. This quote is the basis of Snapchat and the exact reason to why it is the perfect app for teenagers.

One new technology that has had an effect on people’s lives is the Apple Watch because you can contact friends and family and know all the news from the top of your wrist.

“More than three billion people worldwide now use the internet (Time), and 80 percent of them access if from their smartphones” (Smart Insights). A smartphone is a mobile phone that performs many of the functions of a computer, typically having a touchscreen interface, and much more. There is an abundant amount of smartphone brands out there in the world and while they all cost different prices, they all perform the same job. Each person uses their smartphone for various reasons, whether it’s for work or to make calls or texts. Smartphones have changed society in various ways, both good and bad. Although countless individuals think that smartphones have ruined American society, smartphones have actually benefited society because of more safety precautions, information on hand, and entertainment.

Did you know that over 60% of kids including teens already own an IPhone? I am not one of them, but I wish I was. I think kids should have an Iphone.

“To date no one’s made a phone that does so much with so little, and despite the numerous foible of the iPhones gesture-based touchscreen interface, the learning curve is surprisingly low. It’s totally clear that with the iPhone, Apple raised the bar not only for the cellphone but for the portable media players and multifunction convergence devices in general (Ritchie).”

Nowadays, almost everybody has some sort of machine at hand, be it computers, cell phones, or cars. Most technology has some type of camera whether it is used to take a selfie or film a video. Sometimes people don't have knowledge that these cameras are in use. The telescreens in 1984 are a representation of a form of surveillance and they are “terribly dangerous” when one “thoughts wander when” they are “in any public place or within range of a telescreen"(Owell 64). The telescreens were at work, home, and public area; and as a result “Big Brother is watching”(Owell 2). Today, cell phones and computers are in use at restaurants, bedrooms, and schools. Similarly to how telescreens “could be dimmed, but there

IN 2015 a gunman named Syed Farook had shot and killed 14 people in San Bernarda in the summer of 2016 the FBI asked apple if they could hack into Farooks iPhone. Apple refused, but the FBI hacked into the 1phone without their help. Of course, the FBI caught the gunman, but it brought controversy should the FBI be able to hack into iPhones? And no they shouldn’t! It breaks countless laws if they didn’t have a warrant. But if the FBI has a warrant, then whose Phone are they are searching and is apple helping. Apple did choose the right thing to do, not to hack into an iPhone, if apple would hack into an iPhone then they would be breaking the constitution and it is not necessary.

Constant controversy, immaturity at its finest, an American flag, a little blue birdy logo, a verified checkmark, more than 44 million followers, little elementary school arguments with Kim-Jong-un; the list goes on. If you are still unaware of what I am referring to, it is the twitter account of the current President of the United States (POTUS), Donald J. Trump. This man is one of the largest and most active gatekeepers in the realm of social media. Generally, one would assume information posted in a tweet from the POTUS would undoubtedly be accurate. How could that ever not be a reputable source? Why even bother to do some of your own research? Unfortunately, this is not the reality we live in; not everything presented to us through news, government or media is true and thus, everything you hear today requires a conduction of your own research prior to accepting anything as true. To be completely honest, if you did not know I was referring to the POTUS, you are probably in a much better position than his 44 million followers, as you have successfully managed to avoid one of the many gatekeepers/media outlets whose employed methods entail the plaguing that come with the concept post-truth politics. Though, you must keep in mind that is just one of the many outlets, as this concept is currently taking place all over the world. You, along with the rest of the population are essentially forcibly subjected to fake news every single day of your waking life whether you choose to believe it or not. On September 10, 2016, The Economist published an article titled “The Post Truth World: Yes, I’d lie to you.” The article claims the reality of the current political world; a reality The Economist suggests the general population is ignorant of. The article is severely opinionated and due to the multitude of reasons provided in support of their argument, many of which substantiated with an abundance of factual evidence, the authors were very convincing in their contention that post-truth politics are to be with us for many years to come unless changes are made immediately.

Draven forgot his lines once, and when he remembered, he yelled out dramatically, “Million dollar question goes to Draven!” When he accidentally said ‘grows’ instead of ‘blows’, he shouted ‘blows’ three times while clapping horrendously loud, igniting loud laughter from the other kids. perhaps that’s how he dealt with nerves. He added a comedic aspect to the group. However, he still maintained a focus on what he was doing. He fiercely acted out his lines while still having fun and being himself.

Like most my age, I am always equipped with a smart phone. Many would deem it necessary now a days. Some people get them as young as 10 years old. I only carry one per my parent's request. Not to say that I don’t enjoy the perks of having it with me: access to any answer for any question that might be asked, the capability to talk to my family and friends at any given moment throughout the day, and plenty of applications to screw around with if I find myself with extra time. It weighs almost nothing, so light that at any given moment I will panic because I worry I lost it. It holds a different kind of weight though. It is heavy in the moments that it is “lost”, when there is a fear that it is not with me anymore, and my parents will have to pay for a new one. It is heavy because there is a strong guilt that comes with losing something so expensive. The same terror comes when the phone is dropped. There may be a case around it, a thing meant to protect the device from the impact, but there is still some anxiety around it plummeting to the ground.

In a world of many political, social and moral issues, I believe that people should back the president in his attempts to secure our border.  Without protection of our borders we are open to terrorist attacks.  I completely disagree with Henry David Thoreau’s motto that “that government is best which governs least”(Thoreau 369).  If Trump was not allowed to try to keep our country safe by protecting our borders, our nation could easily be attack and leaving people to feel unsafe.  While I believe that most muslims are not terrorist, I think that it is necessary to have travel bans for some countries in order to keep the American people safe.

Warren and Brandei had mentioned that “cameras and other devices are capable of capturing information about a person without a person’s consent”. This appears in day to day situation in everyone’s life. For example when we walk on the road, people might be capturing us knowingly or unknowingly we might be in that picture while they were trying to capture something else. Celebrities are the one of the

When it comes to the iPhone X or any other smartphone, the purchase itself is essentially an investment that you should take seriously. Many people view electronic devices of all kinds as disposable objects that can merely be replaced if they happen to be damaged. It's much more financially prudent to be as careful with them as possible however. If you've never considered the advantages of covers for iPhone X model smart phones and you're planning on jumping aboard the band wagon soon, here are a couple of major points you should really think about:

Attention Getter: Other than our car keys, our mobile devices have become something that we can’t leave the house with. This includes our smartphones, laptops, tablets, USBs, and digital cameras.

When I had tested person A with taking a screenshot on an IPod 4G she had kept accidently locking the phone. Although the user was able to take a screenshot in the end she had wasted a lot of time accidently locking the phone four times. On the other hand when I had tested the IPod on Person C they had no trouble taking a screenshot. I think this is due to the age difference and the experience that both subject have had. Doing this small test I was able to identify the problems with this function. The problems were that this function required time to master and the user must be familiar with the interface before using the device. It does present some usability in
