Samsung Galaxy Gear Watch


            Now you can receive Quick Glance notifications, such as texts, emails and phone calls, all on your wrist. And when you want to respond to one of your messages on your Samsung Galaxy device, Smart Relay automatically displays the same message for you on your phone, so you don’t waste any time searching or opening applications. It can hold up to about 4MB and it really usefully. All the reviews I look at people had nothing but positive things to say about it.
Here are a few strengths I found out about the Gear Watch. Now, if your phone gets stuck in the couch cushions, you can use Galaxy Gear from the next room to remotely activate sounds or vibrations to make it easy to locate. You can also use your phone to help you find your Galaxy Gear, peace of mind goes both ways. Making calls on the move has never been easier. Now you can place calls and answer them directly from your Galaxy Gear.
Now some weakness, It isn't so user friendly for people that are a little overweight or have big arms. The watch only can bend so much so it doesn't fit on everyone. The battery life is ok depending on how often you use it. If you use it constantly for 4-6 hours it will die and you need to charge it.
You can answer calls and check the time at the same time so it’s like a watch and a phone in one. If you lose your phone you can call it from the watch. It is good for someone who is a business man and is multitasking.

You can be distracted will driving looking at your watch. It is very expensive to fix if you break it. It doesn't have the best fitting size it’s more of a one size fits all than a real watch.

TimeLine

The main website we were suppose to be using is down so I went and found one offline, I didn't like the one I picked because it was hard to embed or link it to my blogger but the way it was laid out was easy to use.

Photoshop


In class we have been working with Photoshop, it has a lot of cool ways to edit photos. A really useful tool is the magnetic tracer, it allows you to carefully trace photos and be able to move that picture. It is a little confusing at first but the more you use it the more it gets easier to use.

Web 2.0 Tool


I picked a fun web tool to use. It is called Build Yourself Wild , you can choose to make a boy or a girl and you can name the person. Also you can choose all the different body parts and when you are done making it it will combined a name from all the different effects you did to your person as it did for me. It's a fun web tool and would be good for children.
