Playing With IPads :)

iPad 1 impressions:

The iPad has Fantastic Internet connection compared to the iPod touch 3, it's so fast! Also, when you are located near a router by at least two meters the Internet can be better than a Mac. Sadly, when visiting YouTube, the iPad changes most videos to HD format and you can't change it to a smaller pixel for a faster load.

I don,t know about the iPad Wi-Fi but I do know that the range of Internet pick-up is also great, it has a range of at least ten meters (still being on high or medium Internet connection).

Tips/Tricks

1. To quickly undo typing SHAKE DEVICE

2. Double-Tap the CAPS LOCK BUTTON TO TYPE IN CAPS LETTERS. (Sketched arrow on keyboard)

3. To take SCREENSHOTS, PRESS THE LOCK/SLEEP AND THE HOME BUTTON (the button with the square in it) AT THE SAME TIME AND THE SCREEN SHOULD FLASH WHTE.

4. The below are only or iOS 4

4.a Connecting device to computer opens iTunes

4.b For updating iPod/iPad/iPhone, simply left click your device once on the iTunes menu, and then left click the button that says "update".

4.c More tips and tricks are on the app "iPad iPhone secrets exposed"

5. Some Problems:

For blogger, when I try to type on the compose writing screen I can't type so I have to use the edit HTML screen for typing with the iPad. Then again, we were introduced to an app called "Blogpress" it solves the problem of not being able to type on your blog with an iPad, iPhone 3g, etc.

Reflection On Distracted By Everything

Distracted By Everything



How I multitask, I multitask very poorly. When I try to do my homework I can easily be distracted and can't get back to work. Sometimes It matters what type of homework it is, if it's writing homework I tend to wait until the last second. If it's math, then I would gladly do that first.

Online assignments are the hardest to complete, I sometimes I go to youtube and start watching videos, other times I check my grades. Although I get distracted, the distraction only lasts a few minutes. As always it matters on what the homework is, so that explains a bit more. Out of 5 (five being fully distracted) my distraction level is 2-3.5.

To avoid distracting myself I close windows and try not to listen to my brother or who ever is next to me while working. To avoid multitasking I only do one thing at a time. When I multitask, I have bad grades, meaning, multitasking is hard and sometimes produces poor work, you can also get really stressed.

My parents help me multitask by opening needed information and sites on another computer. I think my parents could tell me what to do instead of doing it for me which makes me feel lie it's not my work, my parents barely do this. They only do this when I really am having trouble. I think my parents can't multitask because I've never seen them do it. Though I don't know for sure.
