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
Nowadays, people can use computers or pencils to compile their works. “Which way is more competitive?” has become a controversial issue. “An Ode to the User-Friendly Pencil” by Bonnie Laing, explores “the pencil wins over the computer hands down” by using irony.

That was the night that I started to figure and configure, contemplate, and computate just how I might leave my delible mark on this life” (Inquisitors and Insurgents). The pencil has been a life giving force, a fountain of life, a symbol of readiness and ability to write. Her professor and mentor Dr. Gloria Wade Gayles encouraged her to show her poems to Nikki Giovanni who corrected them with a red pen but assured Finney that something good was about to happen. She spent two years attending Toni Cade Bambara workshop with a pencil and paper. She stresses the metaphor of sharpened thought “The more I pencil-dig down,
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.
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.
In the essay from Pencils to Pixels, Dennis Baron details the world’s journey from the use and making of the pencil to the computer. Barron states that the pencil wasn’t originally intended to be used as a writing device. There’s a bit of information you probably hadn’t heard before. Yes, pencils were actually adopted as a tool by “note takers.. ..scientists...and others who need to write”. They were taken from artists and adapted it for use as a writing tool ( Dennis Barron 44).
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).
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
"What shall I say of the steadiness and exactitude of his hand? You might swear that rule, square, or compasses had been employed to draw lines which he, in face, drew with the brush, or very often with pencil or pen… this ...
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.

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
”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.
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.
