Goal line Technology

Goal line technology

 

As usual i will start this by telling you that this blog will be about goal line technology.

 

 

Advantages

 

The advantages of goal line technology is that we will get a lot more accurate result of the game and it will be fair so none of the players can argue with the ref or linesman. this will lead to a fair game of football with out any one getting a card for the anger towards the ref.

 

Disadvantages

 

The disadvantages of this is that it will be putting a lot of people out of their jobs and it will be more expencive to buy rather then pay the ref.

 

 

In the past there has been many issues with goals and offsides and handballs for example 2010 world cup England vs Germany Steven Gerrard shot and it went in but spinned back out and the goal was disaloud.

Computer Games And Consoles

 

 

 

 

 

In this blog i will be telling you about the latest updates on gaming and how it effects our lives.

 

Updates

 

I will start of by talkin about the updates of this years top selling games and games consoles. Some of the best selling games of 2012 have been about war or physical violence. This is obviously a popular choice because everyone seems to be buying them, but what is it about these games that gets people so addicted to them. "Black Ops 2" is one of the most talked about games, which is a war game. Released in november 13th people world wide were queing outside shops in order to be the first ones to play this game. The features on the game are what people are going mad about. For example the new zombies on this game are the reason why half the people have bought it. Moving on to "Assassins Creed III", once again it is another violent game about going around assassinating people as it says in the title obviously. FIFA !3 is on for the football fans. People are talking about their ultimate team and what their favorite players are and everything.So what is it about these games that is making people go crazy?

Addiction

 

People are becoming more and more addicted to these games as they take days off school and work to play them al day long. This could lead to them loosing friends as the have no social life and dont want to see anyone because they are addicted to their game. This will lead to them loosing their job meaning they will struggle in life.

 

Impacts

 

The impacts of this is very dangerous. On 22nd of July 2011 a man named Anders Breivik bombed a government building in Norway and carried out a mass shooting killing 77 children and adults. He said that he trained himself for it by using Call Of Duty giving himself the knowledge on ways to kill people and how to use the guns in such a terrible way. Also a few years back a young boy, after playing on the 18 rated game "Grand Theft Auto", went around and stabbed innocent people just from what he had seen on the game. Children of young ages who are playing games that are rated 18 are becoming more violent toward their parents. They would ask them to get off their console and the children would get angry and violent and refuse to get off.

Comment and tell me what you think about gaming.

Smart-phones

How smart phones have change the world?

 

 

In this blog i will be telling you about how smart phones have changed the world as it says in the title.

To start with i will be telling you about how they all started. in June 19th, 2007 the very first Iphone was released. this was the beggining of the smart phones. From then on all different companies have been making touch screen modles trying to compete with apple's Iphone. The name Iphone originally came from the company Cisco. When Cisco heard about it they sued them and made a settlement with them asking apple to pay them an amount for every Iphone that was sold.



Now there are lots of companies making smart phones such as Blackberry, Nokia and HTC. All of these being a good sucess but still not as much as the Iphone. Pretty much everyone now has a smart phone. This is ruining society by killing conversations between people when the meet up for a chat. But looking on the plus side it is giving people knowledge on things they never knew before and letting them explore a wider range of things that they want to know. Not only is it a phone anymore, it is a games console, a computer and an application for almost anything. The streets are filled with people with there heads down looking at their phone oblivious to their surroundings making the world a dangerous place and drivers a lot more cautious to what they are doing.

 

People are starting to use their smart phones as business phones. What i mean by this is that even though they are not in work people are still trying to work from ,say, on the train or on the bus. The prices of these smart phones can vary from £150- £700. This is showing how desperate some people are to get the latest tech. Eventually people will start to lose friends from where they are to caught up on their job from their phone that they wont socialise with their friends and family.

 

Are they destroying our lives?
