Microsoft Word and Online Documentning

Microsoft Word and online documenting are two types of documenting programs. They both allow you to type paragraphs, make lists and many more types of writing. You can check your spelling by clicking an easy button. You can change the type of format or font. You can bold, italicize, and underline one word or the whole document. The page set up is how the page will look when it is printed. The online documenting program is more difficult to view the page set up, because if you have a space in your piece of writing, where there should not be a space, it can mess up your whole document.

The majority of people are more familiar with word rather than online documenting. This is why I like using word better. I have used it since I was little and I know how to use it better. Some may argue that online documenting is a better thing to learn. They would say this because when you are online you can save it and will have it where ever you go. (where ever there is a computer that goes online) Instead of saving your documents to a memory stick, you can just save it on the google account, or the online documenting account. However documenting online is more difficult to use. It is more complex to use, because it is a challenge to view how the page will be set up. It is almost the same as word, however word is more efficiant to use.

Microsoft word is really nice to use, because instead of searching all over the internet for a picture, you can just go to clip art. Find your picture and past it to your document. For online documenting you have to go to google or some other search engine and find your own picture.

I prefer to use Microsoft word because that is what I am used too and have used since i was little.

Multi Touch Screen with Photosynth

Photosynth and the multi touch screen are two amazing new technologies.
Photosynth is a creation where many images on the web that have been tagged are then put into one image. You can take each picture and make it separate from the rest. It gives you better quality of that image. You can zoom in or out as far as you want.
The Multi Touch Screen is almost like a smart table. It allows more than one person at a time to touch the screen. It can zoom in or out. It can entertain you.
If both of these inventions of technology were combined it would be really neat. I would use it to find pictures on the web, and make those pictures the size and quality I need. I would use it to play games and watch movies. It would be great entertainment. If these two devices were combined we could use the photosynth and multi touch screen for so many different reasons. We could use it in school. If it became more advanced we could use it for educational purposes. The keyboard on the screen may help people type more accurately and faster. We could use it to communicate with other people too. This is a really cool invention and will help they way we learn.

One Laptop per child

The video "One Laptop per Child" is really cool. It explains to us how many children all over the world do not have an education. The XO company is trying to change that. They have invented a computer that is much similar to a laptop. It has two ways to charge this device. You can plug it in like every other computer we have, or you can turn a handle that is on the side of it. Once you turn it, it will power it up. It has a screen that is lit up by sunlight. Its screen is able to rotate. You can get the internet off of this by connecting with other laptops. It is an amazing device that is also very protected and will be difficult to damage, it is one that can handle diffucult conditions.
They are a non-profit organization. The kids are their mission. This organiziation will help improve the education of children all over the world. The educational level has gone down tremedously in the poorer countries, like Africa. Allowing these laptops to be used over there for free will help these children learn.
You can not buy these laptops. "One Laptop per Child" has made an organiziation that you can only donate a laptop. It is almost like buy one get one free. They do not want you to go out there and buy a whole bunch of laptops, but to spread the word.


This invention is giving us hope that our world will become more educated. The children in our world will become educated. We have a vision and hope that giving a laptop will change a childs life. It will not only change their life it will change their world. These children deserve to learn in the hopes to have a future.
