Summary

The aim of this blog was mainly to focus on my reflection surrounding articles that talk about technology and basically anything related to my major, I talked about two articles that I found interesting. The first one was about evolving the process of money transfer in mobile phones, where any bank account user in the UK will be able to transfer money immediately using an app produced by Barclay's Pingit System. The second article demonstrated an interesting technique developed by Harvard University engineers, who clones of tiny robots that are inspired by pop-up books and modeled with features of a Bee. The advantage of this miniature flat shaped robots is that they can easily be multiplied into large numbers of robots.


Using blogger doesn't necessarily mean that you blog your interests, but also allows you to explore others' interests by following their blogs. As I followed my colleagues' blogs, I passed by an interesting article by Megan from http://megancastleton-icct.blogspot.com/ who talked about "Transplant jaw made by 3D printer." This article focus on the medical side of technology and revolves around a 3D printer which creates transplant jaw that can be fitted into a human using the laser technique in a shorter time interval than the original reconstructive surgery! what a development in my opinion! The success of this operation can lead to creating other body parts using the same method.

Moving on, I also agreed with what blogger Ali mentioned about mobiles being a vital gadget to an individual in his blog http://al-ba7rain.blogspot.com. It's true that mobile phones nowadays is such an important device to own, not only for calling but generally communicating to everything in this world. You can't be left behind if you own the latest technology, because you have all you need in the palm of your hand. This is because in today's world mobiles contain everything from cameras to numerous apps about weather, news, applications etc...as well as communicating by SMS or MMS or any other form of reaching out to another person.

At last but not least, another appealing article was Jenna's "BYOD: Bring Your Own Device" in her blog http://icct-mobcomms.blogspot.com/ which discussed a case where employees are asked to choose their preferred device to work on whether it be a desktop, laptop, Mac or a tablet. Since the number of people who own tablets and smartphones have increased rapidly, this opened the path of for this situation to grow and this case to be more official. As Jenna said, this step is quite beneficial as it will encourage the employees to work at their maximum level since they are working on devices that they are most comfortable with.
