Q6: WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES

FROM THE PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING THIS PRODUCT?

In the process of making my radio, I have learnt that without technology I wouldn’t have been able to do many of my tasks in order to complete the radio. Audacity has been used frequently whilst finishing my story. It has played a major role because, without it I wouldn’t have been able to cut, edit and paste or use any special effects in order to make my radio successful. After using audacity I found out that this type of technology is a simple and quick method as it saves plenty of time if I want to edit, cut etc.

Another technology I used when constructing my radio is BlogSpot. Blogging is a new method I used to present research, planning etc. Also using BlogSpot it enables me to quickly upload any research I have made allowing my teacher to see the progress I have made or any changes. I can easily edit or change any blogs if I needed to. This has helped me because I frequently add new ideas and research and all I need to do is add them in a recent blog which the information is relevant in. Blogging helps me to see how my work has improved from the beginning until now. Overall Blogging is a clear way for me to present my work in a professional way. This has kept my work safe and saved as I can just blog my ideas and research on the internet without any hassle. This technology is very useful and efficient and easy to use by many people when presenting their work and ideas. Using these technologies it has saved a lot of time writing and rewriting as this type of technology allows me to upload videos, presentations and much more.

Slideshare is another technology I have recently started using. It is a presentation software website and I have started using it as it is a good way of presenting my ideas through PowerPoint and updating it both on BlogSpot and Slideshare enabling people to see. By converting PowerPoint presentations to slideshare the document is smaller on window and it is easy to share online because all you have to do is copy the embed code. Throughout the process I have used my phone camera and also a recording device. This enabled me to video record my groups presentation via phone camera. This is a technology that is portable and accessible. Using this device it allows me to upload my work on my computer and edit if needed. Furthermore I have used repeatedly a digital voice recorder. This enabled me to record my story for the radio, and after if I needed to edit anything I could simply open it in audacity and do what I need to do to improve it. Using these devices I have learnt that there are many ways of presenting ideas whether it is through word documents, audacity or simply a visual recording. Whilst using these technologies I learnt that using devices like this allows me to keep my work safe and also allow people to access it by uploading it on BlogSpot or any slideshare.

How far has technology come?

Technology has advanced from before until now in the 21st Century. Technology has improved from the olden time till now. Before editing was done very precisely and you had to be accurate as it was done all by hand and a little knife but now in the 21st century editing is done via computer and if any mistakes were made all you had to do is press one button and it will be undone. Before technologies used to be big and made it extremely hard for people to move a device from one place to another now technologies have gone smaller and much advanced as it is portable due to it’s size. A 21st century mobile phone is much better because you can do many things to it such as, take pictures, access the internet, record, listen to the radio, watch films online etc. The future holds more advanced technology improving what a person can do and how they can access something.
