The Hype Around Apple

     Apple is considered to be the superior technology; the way of the future, it's the "it" thing to have. Everyone must have it: the iPhone 5, MacBook Pro, the new iPad. God forbid you have a PC!

BUT IS IT WORTH IT?

Has nobody else noticed how anti-user friendly Apple is? Yes, they have an awesome call line and they will try to solve your problems instantly, but the software eliminates loopholes andcan be unsolvable. The way Apple is set up is to benefit the producer.



Let's imagine you have an iPod and then you go buy a new iPhone, that sounds pretty mangeable, but in reality: you're doomed. If you make a new account so you can you separate your info and apps (some apps won't transfer to your old device), you also lose all your music for the new device.

I present to you, the producer, a solution for this problem.

Many of the problems could be reversed if only there was a universal UNDO BUTTON. The technical support on the phone can tell you what to do, but if you miss a step, you're screwed. By having a universal undo button, accounts could be recovered instead of restored.

 And I would still have my homecoming pictures.

                                                                         Now I, personally, am a concrete person. If I have pictures or contacts, I want to be able to see them. Being an old soul at heart, I'm not always sure about this "interweb."

I do applaud Apple for trying with the whole "iCloud" idea. It supposedly backs up everything important on your iPhone and saves it somewhere on a satellite. Also, there is a way to get it to the computer. Somehow...

 

I have never been a Mac. I'm a PC and Windows 7 was my idea.

I have used Macs maybe ten times, so I don't have that much room to speak. But honestly, I would not switch. My Hp gets the job done and I know how to use it. And kids don't need an iPad, go ride a bike for crying out loud.

 

Society is obsessed with Apple. I'm looking forward to the day when a new company comes in and dominates this technoloical field, so that music can be shared between accounts and all mistakes are changeable.





The Joy in "Knowing" Your College Major

Some people feel college isn't for everyone, and I won't argue against that, but if you want to achieve a higher level of success in life then college is a VERY good place to start.

Finding a college that's right for you is ridiculously hard. How are students expected to make such a life changing decision after newly joining adulthood? Until lately, I would have had a bone to pick with whoever set up the system.                                           
      But happily I will NOT be applying to my colleges as UNDECIDED. In my opinion, and I have little credibility about colleges to back me up, going in undecided is a death sentence. You'll be less likely to get scholarships and it will definitely be harder to get into certain programs.

So thankfully I have the joy in pretend "knowing" my major! The odds of changes majors in college are very high and I recognize that but at least I have a firm starting place.

SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGY

I am obsessed with this fantastic field of study! Part of the reason I'm so happy with it is because there are so many options! I can work in schools, nursing homes, hospitals, homes, or office buildings. And the variety of people I can help and will affect is incredible.

From little kids who can't say their "r"'s, to hospital patients who can't swallow, to international businessmen who need to reduce their accent, to opera singers trying to hit the high notes, to babies with fetal alcohol syndrome. What an impact I could make!

My parent's approval is also very important to me and fortunately, they support me completely! It's so exciting to have a general idea of how I'm going to benefit society.

I send my warmest regards to all those struggling to find their passion and purpose, it's one of the most difficult decisions in life but once you find it -- when you find it, if you find it -- will be a fantastic joy.
