Yes, it's not your average stylus...nor is its capabilities average in any way. The Apple Pencil is arguably one of the best - if not, the best - styli currently in the market. The device works seamlessly with the iPad Pro and this is no surprise as to why: both of them were engineered to work hand-in-hand. In a nutshell, the Apple solved the latency issue - which is apparent in some tablets - through sensors which scan the Apple Pencil signal by by 240 times per second. This is about twice the data it receives when you use your hand. The iPad Pro's screen also detects how the Apple Pencil is oriented or if there is pressure - or lack of it - applied. For example, you can tilt the Pencil like you would on a regular pencil if you wish to shade an area, or if you want thinner lines, lightly skim it on the screen's surface. Anyway, this has been Apple's solution to the long-time, perpetual …show more content…
In the iPad Pro, you can sketch or write using the app. With it, you can transform your iPad Pro into some sort of a digital notebook. It performed as expected: there were zero delays and if they existed, it was a matter of milliseconds. The handwriting is pretty realistic too: I've used the Bamboo stylus before and the end product of my writing, particularly my signature, looked pretty much like a jumbled heap. In the Apple Pencil's case, the words appearing on-screen looked a lot like my handwriting on paper. I don't know if it's a good or bad thing, considering my handwriting is messed up. Jokes aside, you will feel like you're in control of whatever you're doing on both devices. The Apple Pencil is also pressure-sensitive, thus adding more realism into the mix. For example, you need to press on the screen harder using the Apple Pencil (not too hard though!) to create darker lines, especially when you're painting. This emulates the thing painters do with their brushes. You can also incline it at an angle to shade
Do you like colors? What if I asked you to make a single sharpie? Would you be able to complete that simple task without instructions? As hard as it may seem, it is actually quite simple. The process is a few simple tasks added up to a big task. Sharpie parts are first made in the molding department of a factory. These parts are then sent to the assembly department. In assembly, the logo and names are pressed onto the tubes and the pieces are put together. After assembly, they move to packaging. There, the sharpies are put in packages and shipped out as finished product.
Violence in our schools has always been a problem, now more than ever before. Each year many students are injured and some are even killed during so-called 'school-yard brawls.'; In fact, more than 1,000 students are seriously injured per year during school violence in California alone. (http://www.geocities.com/area51/stats/7403.html) In most cases of serious injury, weapons were involved, including common school supplies such as pencils and pens. Historically, the school systems response to possession of weapons on campus has been at the very least confiscation of said weapons and suspension of the possessor, more commonly expulsion of the possessor and occasionally the bringing of criminal charges to bear. The use of weapons to do violence has had much the same results. In some schools, the students pass through a metal detector and/or are searched for weapons upon a regular basis. (Ch. 4 news at 6:00), However, when the weapons being used are common school supplies, what can one do? The number of students injured by their classmates with common school supplies such as pencils and pens are on the rise. A student carrying a gun or a knife is often busted before having an opportunity to use said weapon, one with a pencil on the other hand, they run free until they seriously injure or even possibly kill someone with the pencil. Our current policy is to deal with the student after they commit the crime, as far as stabbing with pencils go anyway, treating them as though they had used any other weapon. It is my belief that something can be done to prevent, or at least minimize the number of incidents involving the use of pencils as 'stealth'; weapons in our classrooms. Although we do not need to worry about lead poisoning from pencils, (pencil lead is really graphite), (From graphite to pencil, Ali Mitgutsch, 1985) when misused a pencil is a deadly weapon, one far worse than a pocketknife.
Nurses have long been known for their attention to patient care. The reason many nurses have entered this profession is due to their desire to care for people. The overwhelming responsibilities of documentation, chart reviews, verifying orders and medications, monitoring lab results, among others, leaves the direct care of the patient to another, possibly unqualified, staff member. Bolton, Gassert, and Cipriano (2008) estimate that a mere 23-30% of a nurse’s day is spent providing care to a patient. This leaves the greater part of a 12-hour shift performing some kind of paperwork. In fact, the inability to provide more patient care has been cited as a reason many nurses leave their job, and the profession altogether (Bolton et al., 2008).
What I use to start my paper is what I use when I finish my paper. I use Microsoft Word as my main source of writing my drafts. My secondary method is writing done interesting facts and statements I found during my research that I want to come back to when I am typing the rough draft. I find that writing important things down helps with my time efficiency and keeps me more focused on my research, instead of copy, pasting, and switching screens each time. I believe writing a rough draft with our advancement of technology a waste of time for me, and I choose to use Word for my drafts. It is neatly presented for proofreading. My handwriting is not the best, and I feel that it is easier to read off of a computer screen than reading messy handwriting. Not to mention that Word does a large amount of proofreading for you. Today, everyone is so used to reading off of a computer screen that it has become natural, but depending on who can proofread my paper, it can be right on the screen or from a hard copy. I do believe I work more efficient typing than any other method I used in the past.
There are two basic motions the artist uses to apply the paint. He can lightly tap the brush up and down, holding it at 90 degrees to the support. This method is known as stippling or pouncing. Another method of paint application is to swirl the brush in a circular motion, beginning outside the perimeter of the cutout, and work towards the center of the area.
In business, Apple helped other companies grow through their numerous apps, some are even custom built to attend to a certain need. The workplace has been easier to work around with. In schools, teachers and students are mesmerized by state of the art technology like the Mac and the iPad. Learning for both of them no longer have to be a struggle for Apple has found a way to divulge knowledge through rich visuals, interactive texts and presentations. Educator can make use of the iBooks Author app to create their
A pencil is a form of paint brush, a blank canvas can be turned in the most beautiful and colorful masterpiece that the creator didn't even know about in the beginning. Writing is how people get their thoughts and emotions out, thoughts and emotions are not technicality, they are a basic human action. Everybody can learn about the technicalities of writing, but the way people write will be the same. Humans want original thoughts and not the same- old ideas that they can get from someone else. By writing only with the technicalities, makes the paper basic, boring, and expected. People can tell when someone got caught up in the technicalities of writing, instead of writing the way they want

”Books will soon be obsolete in the schools...Scholars will soon be instructed through the eye. It is possible to touch every branch of human knowledge with the motion picture” (Thomas Edison). An idea that was destined for failure has now been made into the key source to get students and teachers more interacted while in a classroom setting. Tablets such as the iPad and the Microsoft surface have made this idea possible, showing students that there is another alternative to the traditional method which would be a printed version of the textbook. Tablets are portable computers that use a touchscreen as its primary input device, meaning that both keyboard and mouse are both physically located on the screen. Early Tablets were built to be used with a pen, today however tablets can be used with just one finger or multiple fingers with the support of multi touch input. Tablet have had a positive input on society especially students in school that are looking to get their work done in an engaging way and, not by moving a pen or pencil like it’s been done for decades. Tablets have proven to be the better tool for learning among students.
Graeme Base uses lines of different thicknesses to make the drawing look more realistic. He also uses different tones of colours. An example would be from ‘Six Slithering Snakes Sliding Silently Southward’, the main snake’s body and tail contains at least four different colours. He also repeats the way the books are place in the library.
Apple strives on technology advancements they are always looking to better their products so they can stay up to date just like many other companies. A new patent application from Apple improves the accuracy of the touch screen (Whitney). At first this may not seem like a big deal, but apple is a company that likes to perfect its products to create better value for their customers. That is how they get away with charging higher prices for their electronics because you can’t find something as refined somewhere else. Apple comes out with newer and advanced versions of iPhones every year to keep up with technology...

In the article “Technology in the Classroom: Beginnings and Endings”, Mary Ann Matras suggests that, “The pencil is still the most efficient tool”. Many people will agree with her argument because students have learned that way for many years and it has worked. It is also a common fact that when a person writes something down with a pen or pencil they are more likely to remember the information rather than typing it. Author, Mary Ann Matras continues to explain more about why the pencil is a powerful tool, ” When a student can use a pencil to do a calculation faster than and as well as, he or she can do it with a computer or calculator, then the tool for the job should be the pencil,” Mary Ann Matras states. Another issue that classrooms have with technology is that it takes away class time. If a student can do their work as fast as a computer than they don’t need the computer, it is better for them to work it out by themselves. Also, if it takes the same amount of time as writing with a pencil does than a pencil is a better

Technology has made our lives more productive in many different ways. One of the greatest inventions is Apple’s products. It leads to an evolution of tablet devices. An iPad or iPhone can act as a textbook, laptop, navigation, camera, notebook, gaming devices and more. It combines all the other devices into one, which allows us to manage our time effectively.
