iPhone 4 Review

When Apple introduced iPhone 4, to tell the truth I was a bit dissapointed, I was maybe too excited for more news at WWDC than just, a new phone.

But when I got to use the new and oddly square iPhone 4, it changed my perception of what a phone is and will be. The Retina Display showcases graphics far beyond what I see on mobile devices, it’s fast run by an ARM Apple A4 processor, it has some shiny new features including a new look for Apple. I didn’t experience any issues with it but I did lose some bars when gorilla gripping it. New features include a 5 Megapixel camera, a LED flash, a front facing camera and glass on the front and back (gorilla glass) some of the best glass and color I have seen on a computer yet.

If your on looking for a smartphone and not the person that loves Google, I would recommend this phone, or if your an Apple-fanboy the choice is clear.

(Note: I love Android so i am slightly bias)

Share OR Over Share

Ever since the beginning of time, people have found things so interesting that they want to share it with there friends and family. Stores, restaurants, pictures, videos, movies etc.

These days with Digg, Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, MySpace etc. it’s very easy to share digital media or links via these services with “friends” and family. But when does it become obsessive. Here is the question to answer that: Am I sharing the same image (or link) with the same people, just over different networks?

Let me use an example, celebrities use Twitter often, let’s say you follow a celebrity on Twitter and like them on Facebook, but the celebrety has there Twitter feed go into there Facebook page, you see the same thing twice. What they are trying to do obviously is to share the same thing to a different audiance, one that may not follow them or even use Twitter. But what if you do follow them on both? Do you mind seeing the same twice? Do you not want to unlike a personal favorite celebrity just because of seeing the same thing twice?

These are all questions you should consider for your self. Ask yourself if you are doing something like this and think about what your audience feels.

The Future of the Web and Accessibility

The Internet today defines diversity, everything is different and almost nothing is the same. The internet is a tool that can help us in our daily lives, we all love it. Let’s have a little history lesson shall we?

This spread of internetworking began to form into the idea of a global network that would be called the Internet, based on standardized protocols officially implemented in 1982.

(wikipedia)

Note that date, 1982. Can you believe that the Internet is still based around those protocols? The Web has changed so much from 1982 to now, in 2010. The question is, are we changing the internet or are we just changing the content and tools? Are we getting anywhere from where we began?

If you think about it, the tools we are adding to the web (HTML5, CSS3, Adobe Flash etc.) are just tools that have evolved, but are we just using more complex tools on the same old base structure that we were using years ago? Can we say that the web has moved forward. Or that our minds have grown more into it? Or that the content and tools are more evolved?

The answer may not seem obvious, but changing the web further will not be adding new features it will be paving new ways to access the web. Although new features will continue to be added to the products and tools on the web what we really need to focus on now is access to the Internet and how we can use it more diversely then we are, we need to think forward and change more things that just the tools and products but we need to change what we think of as a Internet accesser.

In order to make more things for the web, we need to think of more ways to use the web.
