Bi-Weekly Current Event #5

This article was about a new device that improve the gaming experience on IPhone or IPod's. The new controller looks very similar to the controller for the PlayStation or Xbox.

The article was titled "Moga Ace Power Controller: Precision Gaming on the Go."

Strange, Adario. "Moga Ace Power Controller: Precision Gaming on the Go." Mashable. Mashable, 19 Nov. 2013. Web. 19 Nov. 2013. <http://mashable.com/2013/11/19/moga-ace-power/>.

This controller is portable and light weight. It will allow the feeling of using a controller even when on your IPhone or IPod. The price is high though. It is about $100. The author of the article wrote that "the Moga seems to be priced just a bit above what it should be, given its build quality." Also there are some problems with it.

I have to agree that the price is high. If it was cheaper I would definitely buy it, though. It is an awesome new toy that can make gaming on cell phones funner. This affects me because sometimes when I play games on touch screen devices, I get annoyed. This would help because there would be the controller, buttons, and the touch screen. Also this would result in less scratches on the screen and much more. I think that this is an awesome idea and should be improved even further.

This could impact the world because it could result in more people playing games on their phone. It could also lessen the need for screen replacements. I think this could also cause problems though. This could make it to where anywhere people go they can game, even if they are not supposed to be. It can cause people to be distracted. I would hope that no one would try to use this while driving but I'm sure someone would. This would cause more wrecks and possibly injuries. In a positive note though, you would be able to game while waiting on something or breaks at work/school.

This post is about the new IPhone 5s and 5c and whats new and improved.

"Apple unveils two new IPhone -- the 5S and 5C"

Gross, Doug. Kelly, Heather. "Apple unveils." CNN Tech. CNN. 11 Sept. 2013. Web. 27 Sept. 2013. <http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/10/tech/mobile/new-iphones/index.html?iref=allsearch>.

This article is telling about the new IPhone. The 5c comes in many different colors like green, yellow, blue, pink, ext. They are going to have a new way to lock the IPhone. The processing speed on both will be greater also. They wanted to have the new and better smart phone but also wanted to make it available to more people. The price on the 5c is only $99 for 16GB and a 2 year contract.

I think both smart phone will be awesome. I might even be getting the new blue IPhone 5c. This will be the first IPhone I get, so I'm excited. There is many new additions that I think were needed. I love the colors and how they are supposed to be faster. It's great that they are finally making one that is more affordable.

This will impact the world in a few different ways. The price will make it more available. Also people in other countries might be more interested in buying it. The new camera will be good for people who love to take pictures. The faster processor will make it more useful for work related activities. It might also get Apple to the top selling smart phone spot again. In this article it says "Apple's device is now down to about 14%, while Android phones account for a whopping 79%." This was the percentage of sales. Apple is ever expanding and growing. (Apple unveils).
