Penmanship a lost art?

Need to contact someone? Easily done by just sending an email, technology makes things almost a little too simple for us. There is that feeling knowing that someone took the time out of their day just to handwrite a letter for you whether it be just to see how you been, wishing you a happy birthday or something simple as sending a postcard from places where you traveled. The thing is now you can do that with minimal effort. One major difference between email and postal service is speed. Speed is so important to many people, if you are looking to get a letter with pictures you are looking for to about a week-long wait, unless pay extra for it to be mailed within two days. With email on the other hand you are looking at mere seconds from the moment you hit send to the time it takes to reach your recipient. Which is important if you are trying to contact someone that lives either across the world or across the country. Another thing about email is that you lose the personal touch that you would get from a handwritten letter. Anyone on an email can change their font but is not that special but when you write a letter you have your own font, cursive a type of penmanship is slowly becoming a lost art. Penmanship may be insignificant to some people but to others they might have a special connection seeing a certain handwriting style that could belong to someone meaningful. So how many of us can write in cursive? When was the last time you wrote a letter? Will handwritten letters come to an end? Will it slowly be replaced with a printer that can make letters look handwritten?

There have been times when iCloud a software of Apple has been hacked into due to bugs and/or exploits which people’s information were stolen and pictures so is it really something you could trust? We had a guest speaker today who goes by the name Shadrach White. The way Shadrach White talked about clouds in general if you did not know about the iCloud incident you would think that it very secure besides the fact that they pay other people to try to hack into their cloud that way they could be fix the exploit. Google does something similar as they pride themselves being hard to hack so they challenge anyone to try to hack them and if you succeed you have a high likely chance that they will hire you. Now back to Shadrach, he is the founder of CloudPWR and as the founder he was very knowledge in the area around clouds and even telling about one of the services they provide is Airlift which helps new people w

Startup.com showcases the struggle two or should I say three friends faced when trying to startup their own company by first starting their own website which would handle any interactions you would need if you needed to contact your local government in regard to paying a ticket or fine. Tom Herman, Kaleil and Chieh Cheung are the founders but seeing that Chieh was not contributing much to the company, Tom and Kaleil bought Chieh’s share of the company, so the three musketeers became the two musketeers. The documentary is very insightful showing how hard it is to start a company, showing how they started the struggles they faced along the way and just how it was difficult starting a company with friends. There was a problem Tom and Kaleil and it showed they each had an idea of the company’s future but each idea was different so for them to pitch two different ideas hoping for investors to invest into the company made it a lot more difficult, since it gave an impression that the founder

What I Expect From This Class Source : https://giphy.com/gifs/sauce-explains-szechuan-KCGalXq3ppAFq Technology is evolving at a rapid pace. There will always be something better the next year, learning about technology and seeing how fast it evolved is interesting in the fact that it was so long ago that we used to have desktops that require big monitors. Nowadays people are using laptops or an All-In-One desktop that fits everything that makes up a computer, so no more towers, less wires and more Bluetooth capabilities. Knowing how fast technology is transforming we don’t really get to learn about the beginning of the internet and what was the intended used for it. Technology can be useful in a way that it connects people, across the world and can be used in uniting people for a change, a show called Rick and Morty mentions a promotion McDonald’s had with the Disney movie Mulan twenty years ago. The show made the promotion which was the limited edition “Sze
