Technology around us




CPR Buddy- Cell Phone Technology
With the boom of technology now spanning a wide variety of areas, people are now able to do things on phones that were never imaginable before. Hundreds upon thousands of applications have been created in order to make life a little easier. Those using the Apple iphone have access to many interesting application, including one that instructs you on how to perform CPR in a time of emergency. “It provides step by step instructions with detailed text and images for the entire process. The application also provides a timer to advise a person when to make chest compressions and when to provide rescue breathing if necessary.” (http://iphoneapplicationlist.com/2009/05/08/cpr-buddy/).
This application could be very useful and even life saving in a person’s everyday life. Many times people panic during times of emergency, but with the guidance of CPR Buddy all of the guess work is taken out of the equation. The easy to follow commands given by the application could end up saving a person’s life.




Math.com- Educational Technology



An area that has seen huge advancements thanks to technology is education. A website called Math.com is devoted to helping people have a greater understand of math at all levels. Within this one website you are able to receive tutoring on nearly every math subject, from remedial to advanced calculus and more! A person can then test their skills with the use of on-line quizzes provided by math.com. (http://www.math.com/).
Being a less than average math student myself, this website is great for helping people of all ages have a better understanding of different subjects within the math world. This site is especially useful for kids who may have not fully understood a concept in the classroom, and do not have a parent who is able to help with their homework. Many parents just simple do not remember the math, so this site is a great alternative for them.

Amazon.com- Business Technology
The business world has been engulfed with technology advancements. On Amazon.com people are able to buy and sell as they please. In many cases, people turn to this site to find great deals on nearly anything you can think of. You are now able to shop around the world with just the click of a button. Another great aspect of this site is that it is free to use for both the buyer and the seller. The site makes profit from advertisements posted (http://www.amazon.com/).
This is a very useful application for all people, whether you are running a large business or a small family owned company. With the use of this application I could find just what I am looking for, and probably at a better price then in the store. Another great advantage to this site is you don’t have to waste time driving around on a search for something specific. The search option does all of the work for you. This is a great advantage to anyone in the business world.

  1. You need to make each article it's own separate post. I really like the topics you have chosen, especially CPR Buddy and Math.com. I think that you need to go into a little more detail about the type of tutoring students may recieve on Math.com as well as more information on Amazon.com.

  2. 1. I really like the CPR buddy Ap. I can never remember how many compressions are needed per breaths. This is very helpful. I like how you talked about all the technologies, but it may be better if you do a new post with that information in it, so that your second post is just about CPR buddy. i think your visual is great but may be better if you put it at the top of the words. This is easy to do once you post your technologies separately.

    2. Im not good at math either so this is really cool. I think you could find a better image, maybe do a screenshot of the actual website. Also include how math.com works. Is it by forums? or do you search textbooks?

    3. Tell me specific steps as to how to use Amazon. Do i set up an account? use paypal? and is it safe?
