This article is about post-it notes going digital. They say that this will help you organize your stuff better because it sorts them automatic. They have also said that theres is new holders for the notes.

I personally think that this is a great idea. I think this because if you sit and think about all of the people that use post-it notes and of all the paper that it takes to make, it is a lot. If people got new digital notes then we would save a lot of paper. I think that this will help me because its really easy to lose your paper and with this you always have it with you. Another thing that would help me out in my life would be the automatic sorting because I am very unorganized and I lose things so this would help me tremendously and according to this article
“Capturing notes not only organizes the ideas you’ve jotted down into categories automatically, it see the sometimes-off-kilter photograph you’ve taken and centers / clarifies it for you with ease (Burns,Chris)."  That is how I feel about the new post-it note.

With this new device that is coming out it would help the world out a lot. The world we live in today is very technology based. Everyone has the next big thing and when this new device comes out then everyone will have it. This will save on paper and it will save on time. Instead of having to get a pen out every time you want to jot something down now you will be able to do it quicker because this device is digital . This new note taking device will be both eco friendly and time efficient.

       This week in my Intro to Publication class we have learned many things. Some of the new words that we have learned in Intro to Publication class is about web evaluation. Those words include:

• Publish- to present a finished piece to a public audience
• Trustworthy-accurate and dependent
• Evaluate-to carefully examine something to determine it’s value
• Criteria-standard on which you base your judgement
• URL- Uniform Resource Location
• Authors Credentials- look for the contact us and about links 

One of the web 2.0 that we learned in this class is Prezi. Prezi helps you make PowerPoint's and organize my information so I can present it to people. The positives about this web 2.0 is that it can help you present a good PowerPoint. This can be useful when you have a project. There isn't really any negative things about this web 2.0 the site lets you choose your theme and it lets you put it the way you like it to be. There's also free pictures too so that helps me a lot.

Another thing that we learned this week was a new digital literacy. This literacy is called web evaluation , this helps me know what website to use. This is good to know because it helps you evaluate the good websites from the bad ones. I'm glad to know this new information because it taught me to evaluate a site with the right information. Some of the elements to evaluating a site is first you have to check the authority and ask yourself is the author identified and who are the audience. Then you have to check the accuracy, where they got their information, when was it published and last updated. Finally you have to see if its bias or not.  This helps me in my school life because on my projects I will now know the right websites to use. 

Overall my week has been good. There has been a lot of projects that have been given to us and there has been a lot of homework too. I like all the teachers and I had good days all week. This week went by so fast.

"Apple Testing Bigger  iPhone Screens"
The topic of my article is about the testing of bigger iPhone screens.
CNN
 Gross,Doug."Apple Testing Bigger iPhone Screens".CNN.Turner Broadcasting INC.6 Sept. 2013.Web.6 Sept. 2013.http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/06/tech/mobile/apple-bigger-iphone-screens/index.html.
            My article is about making the iPhone screen bigger. Apple wants to make the screen 6 inches rather than the original four inches. Apple is trying to do this because there competitor Samsung has out done them with the Galaxy.
            My opinion about if Apple should make a bigger screen or not is that it could be good but it also could be bad. The reason why it could be good is because if you had a bigger screen than it could be easier to read. The reason why I think it would be bad is because if your screen is 6 inches where would you put it. A phone that big could be cumbersome to you. It could also be harder to hold, it would be more like a tablet than a phone. This event could affect me because having that huge phone would be hard to hold to my face when I'm talking to someone. I hope they will keep it the same as the iPhone 4 and according to this article "iPhones unveiled next Tuesday will likely have the same size screen as the current model (Gross 2013)."That is my opinion about the phone size enlarging.
            The iPhone getting larger would affect the world by having everyone with their phones out because there's not enough room to to put it in your pocket. The phone would be more like a tablet so people wouldn't have a place to put it. It could also affect the world because people will have more of a hassle with the huge phone. It will become a hassle because talking on the phone and carrying it will become annoying to some people.It also could be a good affect too, because there will be more people buying these phones because there the new thing. So this new phone size could become a good thing and it could become a bad thing.
