Instagram vs Twitter

With tons of social media sites and apps out there its only a matter of time until rivals are made. Twitter has been around for around five years, while Instagram is making a relatively new splash in the social media world. Instagram is only about twelve to fourteen months old. Recently Instagram had pulled the plug on its app sharing via twitter. Now, Instagram links are only posted on twitter and not the picture. Fairly soon all pictures will be taken off twitter that were shared through Instagram.

IG or Instagram has remodeled its web connection and is know making a presence online rather then just through a phone app. Now IG users can do everything they can do on their phones via internet now.  However, its not the end of the world for twitter users using IG.There will just be one extra click that will bring people back to the web link where the IG content is displayed.

How do you feel about this? Do you share you Instagram photos via Twitter?

Addicted to Smartphones

Smartphones with the new technology they can give access to, makes a new adventure waiting to happen. As it is today people have become addicted to smart phones. The difference between an addiction and other kinds of compulsive behavior, loosely, is that addictions cause people do something compulsively even though it's detrimental to their lives.

With new studies, Nancy Petry, a researcher at the University of Connecticut Health Center's department of psychiatry says smartphone lovers may not meet the full criteria for having an addiction. Smartphones are like slot machines for the brain. It taps into the associative learning pathway. Associative learning means that your brain is trained to make you feel either good or bad after a certain event. A new event on a social media site or even a text or missed call on a ones phone can access a similar feeling. In a survey of 200 students at Stanford University, 34% rated themselves as being addicted to their phones, and 32% of the remaining participants worried they someday would be addicted.

The debate on addiction to smartphones will be debated for a while now. With technology advancing in ways that would cause more addiction studies are continuing to grow in this subject. Are you addicted to your smartphone? In what ways does your smartphone cause an addiction for you and what ways does it not?

Since we have though technology capabilities to research and fine tune the information we want, the maps have become one of the must used applications. Since Google was he only one to have an advanced map, it was the most widely used but when apple and other companies came out with their map system.

Tablets, will they replace the Smartphone?

 

 Tablets replacing the smartphones? Really?

Our dependence on mobile media consumption is growing.Why watch the content on a small, low-resolution screen when you can watch it on a high-definition screen that’s still easily portable? There’s just no point in doing so, nor is it likely to be preferred. I believe this reason has already been driving the desire for larger smartphone screens, not the need for more components in the devices nor bigger batteries, although that’s a nice side benefit. T-Mobile’s recent survey showing that 77 percent of the respondents want larger smartphones. It may not be our current generation that can get past the ability of putting phones in pockets, but I suspect it will be the next one at the latest. After all, you couldn’t pocket the first phones either, and look how that turned out.

Apply Mini Compare With Others

There is a Test Center Scorecard is to compare various performance between Apple iPad Mini, Amazon.com Kindle Fire HD, Asus Google Nexus 7.

Apple Mini is latest product in Apply Company, the ideal about the Mini are even it has smaller size and light weight but it still can handle most basic system compare normal table as well. Apply mini only have half of a full-size iPad and 12 ounces weight. On other hand, it also has less powerful then the fill-size iPad. For example, the camera on the iPad Mini has no flash and lacks the ability to take high-dynamic-range (HDR) photo. I think because it is first generation, so it is never be a perfect on the first generation even they have enough technology can create a better one. However, even iPad Mini is not good as fourth generation iPad but it is still good enough to compare with same type of product created by other companies.
