Blog 3

http://www.trustedreviews.com/samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-2-2014_Tablet_review I chose this topic because tablets really fascinate me and I enjoy Samsung products.

The Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition is designed to help people make life easier. It is packing a bunch of hardware and software enhancements from regular tablets that make it far more advanced for the normal user. With its high pixel display and the handy S pen, this tablet can definitely change the way we use technology and save us from carrying tons of different journals for your classes.

Blog Post #5

1. In the article I chose, "Put the Smartphone Down. Now." by David Wygant who is a dating and relationship coach. He gives multiple valid points as far as what having a smartphone takes away from in life, but he doesn't mention any benefits society has also acquired from having these types of phones as well. Author Wygant refer's to smart phones as elements that prohibit us from finding love. Often times, society is so focused on what's going on in this "imaginary world" called Facebook, or Instagram, or even Twitter. Whichever it may be, he believes takes away from our ability to meet new people on a daily basis and potentially acquiring the types of relationships we as a society have often been searching for.
2. Author Wygant provided multiple realistic explanations to the disadvantage of having smartphones, but failed to recognize the advantages society now has due to a more advanced technological network. We as a society, have the ability to meet people not only in person, but also over social networking sites. Contact each other on an easier basis, and get fast responses such as texting or instant messaging. Even though, there are multiple disadvantages to having smartphones, they also acquire multiple advantages as well.
3. Author Wygant doesn't address the alternative side or perspective of having smart phones. His opinion is that people leave their "smart phones" alone throughout the day so they can actually come in contact face to face with people who might potentially become someone more in their lives rather than just another face they see.
4. No rebuttal's were made in this piece. It was strictly a one-sided biased piece. He disagrees with meeting people over telephone or social networking, and believes that face-face contact needs to be a priority rather than trying to learn more about someone behind a telephone screen.
