World without computer

                In the past generation, technology has been developing. The society had been rising because of new discoveries that made life easier. Now a day, we are in the time of innovations and discoveries where the industry gives way for development. Different individuals used technology on different ways. Technology serves as an instrument that gives satisfaction to the needs of every person. Not also to the needs but also to luxuries that man wants to have. An example very useful technology that man invented is the computer. Computer is a machine that performs different task according to the command of an individual.  

Computers are commonly used items in many areas. It is an important thing to people, especially the people who run organizations, industry, etc. . . Almost anything you know is run or made by computers. Cars and jets were designed on computers, traffic signals are run by computers, most medical equipment use computers and space exploration was started with computers. Most of the jobs today require the use of computers. These 'mechanical brains' made a huge impact on our society. It would be hard if we didn't have the computer around. 

 

Now let's take a look at deeper level. There will be no computers. That means no operating system, no software support, no search engine, no browser, and no internet. There will be no concept of e-books, no PDF and Adobe packages will become junk. There will be no hardware peripherals plug-in without CPU. There will be no connection for printer, scanner and similar electronic gadgets. There will be no internet facility so no real time money transfers, no online transactions, no webcam, no local area network. All connected worldly items will turn into disconnected islands. Every office will be filled with the noise of typewriters, lots of paper, whiteners. You will see long wait for the completion of bulk or complex assignments. More people and manual labor effort will be required to complete simple task and to finish any development in less time. Documented paper will need more space to store in massive warehouse. Offices will be more crowded to fulfill individual requirements and ultimately simple things will also turn into big mess. Education system will be highly impacted. Teachers and students will have to co-ordinate constantly and interact more often in order to understand & complete the syllabus within time. New learners will have to be more dependent.

Computers helped the world a lot and helped us take a large step into the future. Businesses and entertainment uses them to make profits, Education uses them to help educate students better, the Medical field uses computers in many different ways, and other areas. Without the computers help, none of this would be possible. The world would be a dull and primitive place. No cures for diseases, ne good entertainment, less transportation. You see how the computers changed today's society? It changed society it a lot. You may think that the computer didn't impact you. If you play computer or play station games, if you watch the latest movies like Wing Commander, or you did research on a topic for your school on computer, you were affected by the computer. Everyone was impacted by this remarkable device. 

Battle of the Skills

      In the last 12th day of February, another memorable event was held by TLE Council. An event proved that every students taking up Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in Technology and Livelihood Education have their own skills and talent that must be shown in every people.

 
    At first we were so busy in preparing for the competition. We were assign for each category. The first category was the fruit carving and table skirting in which Jackielyn Estiller and Estrellita Magno were the participants for the main campus.


  

     They did a good job for their creation. Even though they did not win, it serves as a good experience for them. Maybe good center gives them more chance to win. They did their best but Camarin campus won the category in table skirting because as I've notice they have intricate design and a beautiful center piece.  

   


     At the same time Quiz Bee is also conducting. On that time, I realized that every TLE students have their own expertise. 




       The next event is Flairtendeng where Janine Gutierrez stand out from other participants. I was so glad  when I was watching her dancing giving her best to entertain every student and professors watching her. We were so proud to have her on our course even though she did not got the first plays, still she is our winner.
    
                                                        


    
   But at that time we where preparing for the main event of the competition which is the Cosmetology Category. I was assigned to be the designer. Me and my Co-participants were so glad to see a beautiful creation made up of scratch. But I think if we were given enough time to prepare, I can see our creation better than the other contestants.




      The TLE Competition 2012 became successful and enjoyed by every student especially TLE students and Professors. 

ROBOTS in the FUTURE

What's next to computer?

           

      As time goes by, we cannot say that humans can create a thing that can help teaching and learning process. Just like computer that serves as a tutor and tool for teachers. But if you will ask me what do I think that will next to computer, maybe it is robot. Robots that can enhance the learning of every classroom. Robots that help every student to excel on their studies. Their main task is to perform certain tasks such as teaching various skills. 


         The robots should be able to teach the people certain words, or to play elementary imitation. The teaching has not been very complex, as the robots are somewhat limit from this point of view so far, and everything has been conducted in a controlled environment. Even so, all of the robots have certain software. The robots can recognize speech and motion tracking, and as a result they can be used in the case of certain people.


        There is much more to robotics education than just teaching about robots. Students at all grade levels are fascinated with robots; and educators have found that teaching with robots provides a new and exciting way to interest and motivate their students. Robots are finding their way into the classroom to help teach science, math, mechanics, teamwork and even management skills.

         




      

SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act)

          The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is a United States bill introduced by U.S. Representative Lamar S. Smith  to expand the ability of U.S. law enforcement to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and counterfeit goods. Its intent is to more heavily enforce copyright infringement across the web, holding severe consequences for any site owner whose property is found to be in disobedience.Provisions include the requesting of court orders to bar advertising networks and payment facilities from conducting business with infringing websites, and search engines from linking to the sites, and court orders requiring Internet service providersto block access to the sites. The law would expand existing criminal laws to include unauthorized streaming of copyright material, imposing a maximum penalty of five years in prison. A similar bill in the Senate is called the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA).

            SOPA is an anti-piracy bill working its way through Congress that would grant content creators extraordinary power over the internet to the point of potentially creating an "Internet Blacklist". while exacting a huge cost from nearly every site you use daily and potentially disappearing your entire digital life. Its Advocates, largely those in and supporting the entertainment industry, believe the bill is needed to crack down on increasing levels of online piracy, particularly from foreign websites. And the dissenters believe that SOPA goes against First Amendment rights, is a form of Internet censorship and would limit information accessibility on the web.

                Modern teaching and learning environments make extensive use of web-based content from a variety of sources and through a variety channels. While much of the content is licensed from publishers with appropriate accommodations for academic uses, a good deal of content may reside on websites that do not have the proper copyright permissions for every image, audio, or video clip to which they provide access. SOPA  limits our access to open information on the internet.  Our students need to learn how to analyze and evaluate information from multiple sources and perspectives, and SOPA could make it difficult for this to happen.  Websites that allow users to post comments, communicate on message boards, upload and share content, or encourage the open sharing of information and ideas can easily be shut down by a single post or comment linking to the wrong website. The ability to openly collaborate and communicate with a global community of educators is what makes online professional learning so powerful, and these proposed laws could seriously hinder the possibilities.
