Lukes Questionare

In your opinion how important is it for mobile applications and devices to both look good and function properly?

Very Important

Comment on both the attractiveness of the software and the hardware.

Who designed the iPad? Apple

Was it an individual or team? Team

In your opinion, do people use this device because it looks good or because it functions well? Both

Or does it do both? Yes

How has the iPad changed the way some businesses function? Yes

Can you find examples of where businesses have implemented the iPad into their day-to-day activities? Help in hospital being able to access information easily and fast also being able to show patients scans and past information about them and their family history.

Overall, what other major flaws of this type of technology? Data capacity is limited and parts cannot be upgraded manually you will have to replace the entire device, Extended battery life and better interactions.

Can you think of anyways in the future that this hardware will be improved to the point where it will compete with desktop and laptop computers? More Data capacity and better processing power.

How do you think the iPad could help your day-to-day workflow? Increased productivity and easier access

Are the answers straightforward? Yes

Is it more a case of combining this technology with others that already exist? Yes(iPhone)

Consider the following–has the iPad shaped the way we do business? Yes

Or has business and technology shaped the way Apple developed the iPad? NO the iPad was built to apples specifications.

Is the iPad and tablets in general a passing fad? No

Or do you think this type of technology is here to stay long-term? It will stay around for a minimal long term perspective of about 50yrs or so by then new software and hardware will be developed and it will be a thing of the past.

Conduct a discussion with the whole class and determine based on the general consensus the pros and cons of tablet-based technology.

Many people say that the iPad is an unnecessary piece of hardware caught in limbo between a laptop and mobile phone. Do you think this consensus is accurate. Do you think that your answer could be different in five years time?

Maybe, depends on the growth of technology.

Class room chatter with Luke

After throwing ideas around the classroom e.g. Automated tooth paste despenser and the cure for cancer pill i came up with the idea of a new listerine product as is below

Cert 3 Media 2011 Assement Task 1A with Luke

Alcoholic based mouthwashes (i.e. Listerine)
Pros:
These have the most research behind them. These are proven to reduce plaque, reduce gingivitis and improve overall health. Listerine uses essential oils as the active ingredient, and includes ethanol in various concentrations up to 25%.

Cons:
Due to the high concentration of alcohol, they usually have a burning feeling, which some people have a hard time tolerating. They are usually also not recommended for recovering alcoholics as it can trigger relapses.

Non-alcoholic based mouthwashes (i.e Crest Pro-Health)
Pros:
There are various type with various active ingredients. Crest Pro-Health uses cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC). There is no "burning" feeling.

Cons:
The overall body of research on the active ingredient (CPC) is less. As of 11/22/2010, the ADA website does not have Crest Pro-Health mouthwash listed as having the ADA seal of approval.
Some people also enjoy feeling the "burn."

Pros & Cons of Listerine Whitening Rinse
PROS...

Inexpensive for the number of uses you get from each bottle
Bubbles & foams in your mouth - you can feel it working
Doesn't have to be left in your mouth long to be effective
There's no "application process" and no need to wait around for the next step

CONS...

Doesn't taste quite as "minty clean" as the label states
Doesn't go with "morning breath" well
Can't get past the fact that I'm rinsing to get this product to "adhere" to my teeth, only to turn around and brush it off right away
