Pros & Cons of Latest 3rd Generation IPod shuffle

Pros
* Supports multiple playlists
* Can navigate thanks to Voiceover controls
* Supports Apple Lossless files
* Higher-capacity
* Good sound and volume.

Cons

* No controls on iPod
* Navigation more difficult than in the past
* Battery charge poorer than in the past
* Tiny switch on top of iPod difficult to manage with adult fingers
* Must pay for adapter or compatible headphones if unhappy   with included headphones.
* Lack of controls on the iPod—is more difficult to use
* Controversial control makes the ipod shuffle more clumsy.   Pressing to traipse through multiple items in a playlist is clumsy. Not only is it likely some users will forget which combination of presses transports them from place to place. I suspect a lot of 3G iPod shuffle owners will forgo all this button pushing.

    Is Technology strengthen our skill?

    rajinfo 0 Comments

    Today technology has played a bigger role in our lives, our skills in critical thinking and analysis have declined, while our visual skills have improved, according to research.

    Researched by Patricia Greenfield, UCLA distinguished professor of psychology and director of the Children’s Digital Media Center, Los Angeles.

    Greenfield said. if we want to develop a variety of skills, we need a balanced media diet. Each medium has costs and benefits in terms of what skills each develops.

    Among the studies Greenfield analyzed was a classroom study showing that students who were given access to the Internet during class and were encouraged to use it during lectures did not process what the speaker said as well as students who did not have Internet access. When students were tested after class lectures, those who did not have Internet access performed better than those who did.

    More than 85 percent of video games contain violence, one study found, and multiple studies of violent media games have shown that they can produce many negative effects, including aggressive behavior and desensitization to real-life violence, Greenfield said in summarizing the findings.

    In another study, Video game skill predicted laparoscopic surgery skills, Greenfield said. The best video game players made 47 percent fewer errors and performed 39 percent faster in laparoscopic tasks than the worst video game players.

    Visual intelligence has been rising globally for 50 years. Greenfield believes much of this change is related to our increased use of technology, as well as other factors, including increased levels of formal education, improved nutrition, smaller families and increased societal complexity, etc.

    Is Reading others Mind possible!

    rajinfo 1 Comments

    reading-mindsThe  scientists demonstrate the ability to decode a persons preference for one of two drinks with 80 per cent accuracy by measuring the intensity of near infrared light absorbed in brain tissue.

    Canadas largest children’s rehabilitation hospital have developed a new technique that uses infrared light brain imaging to decode preference with the goal of ultimately opening the world of choice to children who can’t speak or move.

    This is the first system that decodes preference naturally from spontaneous thoughts,

    After teaching the computer to recognize the unique pattern of brain activity associated with preference for each subject, the researchers accurately predicted which drink the participants liked best 80 per cent of the time.

    Most brain-computer interfaces designed to read thoughts require training.

    Wearing a headband fitted with fibre-optics that emit light into the pre-frontal cortex of the brain, they were shown two drinks on a computer monitor, one after the other, and asked to make a mental decision about which they liked more. When your brain is active, the oxygen in your blood increases and depending on the concentration, it absorbs more or less light.

    Luu says. The brain is too complex to ever allow decoding of a persons random thoughts. However, if we limit the context limit the question and available answers, as we have with predicting preference then mind reading becomes possible.

    Luu says. In some people, their brains are more active when they don’t like something, and in some people they are more active when they do like something.
