Blog 11 - November 18, 2013

Howdy!

Go check out some of these concept cell phones. You know what a concept is, right?!? It's a product that's in development stages. Sometimes when that product comes to market it looks pretty much like it did in concept. Sometimes the general public will only get pieces or parts of the product.

Anyhoo . . . check out these cell phone concepts. For your directive this week please 1) pick a specific phone 2) tell us which one and 3) tell us WHY you think it's cool.

My personal favorite is that LG Flutter Concept phone. It looks like a sharp-edged boomerang. Like perhaps I could take somebody out with it!

Hola Homies!

Let's jump off into a new topic for a few weeks. Here it is . . . Ready? . . . Wait for it . . .

CELL PHONES!

Hey? Do you remember what it was like NOT to have a cell phone? Yeah. Me either. Seems like I've had one glued to my hand forever. And I'm pretty sure you guys came out of your mommies with one in your hands. It probably looked a little something like this: 


For this week please check out the following sites. They all include links to reviews for new cell technology. Please note, on the second one you'll have to click the "View All Photos in Gallery" link to see all the phones.

For credit this week  you will need to 1)pick one of the phones highlighted on these three links and tell us which phone. 2) Pick a feature on that phone and 3) Tell us why you think that feature is cool OR how you'd use the feature personally.

1) Pick the phone, tell us which one.
2) Pick a feature on that phone, tell us which one.
3) Tell us why you think it's cool OR how you personally would use that feature.

As always, if you can't meet the directives I can't possibly be bothered to write down a 100 in my gradebook.
