Harry Potter Remote

Have you ever sat down at your home opening your TV and got bored of your remote? Good news is here because there is a new wand type remote like Harry Potter's wand which has no buttons. The Kymera Magic Wand which is wireless and it has 13 gestures to it. This wand has functions that you could really never forget because by just flicking it to the left or right allows you to switch channels. Turning the wand in a circle once would adjust the volume. There are also many other new functions that could be use by just turning your hand around. The company also said that this technology would not bore you to death but it's a new way of using the remote controller.

I think this is another weird technology of the year because who would think of using a wand to be there TV remote. I think that the inventor is just a big fan of Harry Potter and he has nothing to do so he makes this wand to look like he is applying magic to the TV. I really don't think that this technology is surprising because the wand is way bigger than a normal TV remote and by just putting the wand somewhere could change something because by just lying it down somewhere could change the channels and volume because of it rolling on the table. The company did not talk about how to close it while laying it down. Overall I think it is a fun experience of having a wand like this as your remote.

TRANSCENDENT MAN

The first technology that I learned for sure is the ability to be immortal or the ability not to die. This technology I thing is very important to know because we don't need to sit down and worry about death which can affect us in a good way and a bad way. In the good way it will keep families and citizens happy not to let somebody passing away which is really a good technology that could really happen in the future. On the bad side, I think that the bad side would probably effect the world even more because of the ability to be immortal, the world would be over populated. This effect would then cut the supplies or food on this earth because many people = more food. This technology would really going to effect my life because maybe this generation of teenagers would never die anymore, and we will be the first ones testing it.

The second technology I learned from this movie is robots which I'm really interested to know about because these artificial life forms could cause a really big impact on the world. This technology is really important to people now and also in the future because I think that robots will be like our slaves, friends, or even maybe your parents because technology will be so advance that you will be able to program the robots to do anything you want by giving feelings, etc. This technology also has two sides the good and the bad side which I think again that having too much technology is really not that good. On the good side is that we will reduce the amount of work which been done which robots will do instead of us. Another point is that these robots could also be friends with humans which I think is also very good. The bad side is that we will get lazier and lazier because if we did have robots they will do all the work and we would be siting at home and doing nothing. The better thing to do is always exercise. Overall I think that the bad side always outlays the good side.

The third technology that I learned about is the ability to turn off and on your genes in your body. This will be another future technology that will benefit our bodies and life in many good ways rather than bad ways. This technology now we are already developing it and fixing it. The importance of this technology is really high because it will be the key to health and many other new things. This technology would really effect today's humans and the future humans because having the ability to turn genes on is really good because you could cure any disease or even do things like swimming in the water without breathing because of evolution we are able to do these kinds of stuff because of our genes. I think that this technology is the only technology that will have the good side outlaying the bad side because on the bad side it is just humans using this power in a bad way which could cause many problems. I really find this technology the most interesting after watching the move.

Songkran Break

Songkran break is over which is really sad because we don't get to wake up late. Songkran this year is really fun for me because I did a lot of stuff with my family which is really enjoying. First my cousins came to Bangkok to have a little trip. Then I went down south with my cousins to Nakhon Si Thamarat to meet my other cousins and enjoy. What we did in Nakhon Si Thamarat is that we visit a water fall and went to a beach which is really fun because my cousins were there and its very cool because these days its really hot. After that we had another really good dinner which tasted really good because it is seafood. After Nakhon Si Thamarat now its time to go to chumporn which is my cousins house. My mother and father stayed at my grandmothers house but I decided to go with my cousin. After that I was just playing computer game with my cousin the whole day and almost the whole night. Another thing that I find really fun is watching football with my cousin. After playing games for so long time passes really fast because its really fun and I keep forgetting about school. After some time I found out that it is already Thursday which means school is coming up soon No!!!  After playing lots of games we decided to go to the beach again. This time we just played in the swimming pool because it is really hot. After that the fun time is over because it is school time again in which it will be the last quarter and exams will be coming up.

Tether is here!

Good news again for Iphone and IOS. Now you are able to connect your Iphone and your computer using a wireless connection. This app is a very new and a good technology because you don't need to jail break your phone which is very good because you don't need to take any risks using the jail break system. This app will allow "unlimited internet access" which will allow you to save more money and use it to do something else instead of spending it on the internet using your phone. Tether involves 4 easy steps. 1 download the desktop app for windows or mac. 2 Create a network on your computer and connect your phone to the wireless network. 3 Visit tether.com/web on you phone and type in your credentials. 4 Wait till the devices communicate and you done.

Another new good technology that is used between your Iphone and your computer because it will for sure save you money instead of paying more. Statistics has shown that most people today spend their money on technology more than anything else per month which is really shocking. Tether will also be like a cloud system because it also is not just a wireless internet connection but you will be able to access your computer also. One really big thing I like about this app is that you don't need to jail break your phone which is really awesome because you don't need to take risks using the jail break system which might damage your phone and many other circumstances. Overall I think that this app will probably make a very big impact with your phones internet

Windows 8 Transformation Pack

Have your ever been waiting for something really badly, or you are bored of using the same windows over and over again. Good news is here because you can change the look of your legal windows 7, vista, and xp into the windows 8 look like feature. This look like feature would probably prepare you for the real system that will be out this year. The look like system really looks similar to the windows 8 but the functions are still your old windows functions. One thing they added in is the charm bar which allows you to access stuff even easier and it gives you a really different view than your old boring window. News has also come about that many people are already downloading this consumer pact which would probably increase the sell rates if it gets released.

I think this news is a very interesting feature because you will be able to change your old boring window look into the new interesting window 8 preview look which I think is really awesome because it will prepare us for the new windows 8 that will be released this year. Using the new look would have a benefit on us because after we have bought the new windows we don't need to worry about pressing the correct or wrong button. Microsoft might also be adding some changes because the release date is not yet release and anything could happen because of errors and system bugs which might cause this whole campaign to fall. I think this news is pretty awesome and you should try it if you have a legal windows. The download link is at the bottom.

Songkran is coming

As you know Songkran is a Thai new year celebrated on the 13-15 April of every year. Our school is going to have a very long break from studies which makes me very happy because every year in Songkran I will be going down south to celebrate it with my family. Songkran is a really important festival in Thailand because each member of the family will be able to see each other again. Sonkran is also a festival where we pay respect to elders and other family members. The big huge part of Songkran that I like is when the water festival begins where many teenagers in Thailand enjoy it because of the fun and the coolness of the water which makes and hot day a cool day.

For Songkran I always get excited about the water fights because it cools us down and its really fun especially when you play it with your friends and cousins which makes it double fun. Songkran is really enjoyable not only for kids but also for the elders because they will be able to share their life events and happy throughout that they have experience which will also be fun for elders. This year Songkran will be a very special year for me because my cousins will be coming and we will be having lots and lots of fun here in Bangkok itself because of the big festival hosted in many roads.

Korean War Video

In social studies communism has been a really big case study after world war II because many other countries are fighting to be communists, so there have been many war erupting such as the Vietnam war, Chinese war, Korean war, and many more. We also had many pop quizzes on these wars which I did pretty good on. Mr. Randy now introduce us to a new unit the Korean war where he showed us a movie based on the war which I thought was pretty professionally made and really showed realistic scenes of the war which was enjoyable. Many of my class mates hate it because of the violence involved in this movie which I think was pretty awesome the why each character act. We also need to write a reflection about this movie if the scenes were like the war or not.

Watching movies for me is pretty boring but watching movies about war is awesome for me because in this movie it really showed how everything turned into ruins and how soldiers fought in battles. The fiction story in this war was also follow able and interesting which includes a big brother trying to send the smaller brother instead of being forced into the war. I thought that this movie was pretty awesome and real fun to watch because it looks really realistic and amazing which shows real blood and soldiers getting injured including buildings getting destroyed and fights between the two sides. I really suggest you to watch this movie if you are learning about the Korean war.

      This is a book not the movie because I can't remember the name of the movie!

Weekly ICT

This week again we are working on our long term project sketch-up. This time we actually made our floor plan by giving exact measurements and ideas. We had to make our own design with correct measurements and let Mr. Pete our superstar check it. Mine was approve the very first time, so my next step was to pull the floor up and pull the walls up. The floor where 4 inches and the walls are 9 feet which is very direct. In my design I have many rooms including private and public rooms. My special part is the game corner which will make many not enjoy only the food and the view but also the game corner. Now Mr. Pete was not here so I need to make my own components but bad news happen everything got deleted so I needed to make all my components again.

The next week we will be doing the same thing which is going to be fun because we are able to put in our creativity. I was unlucky because suddenly the view got cut and I was not able to return to the normal view. I learned a lesson that I should continue sly save my work. I also tried to do my best when Mr. Pete was not here by using his techniques but using my very own design instead of his. The next time we work on it I will now save my work and do a great job in designing my restaurant. Lastly I also hope that Mr. Pete will earn his master degree by working hard for us.
