LG Voyager (Demonstration of New Techno) By Estrella


Every day it is the future. And as time goes by, new technology is being made. Take the Voyager for example. It was made in late 2007. Everyone was fantasized about what they would do if they had it. Even though not all people could get one, they still messed with it in the stores, and messed with it if their friend had one. When I finally get into detail with this new phone, you'll see what's so great about it. The Voyager has a touch screen pad, and even has a camera. Unlike the iPhone, the LG Voyager has easy texting. The iPhone pad has small texting keys, but the Voyager has a full keyboard when you flip the screen open. The front screen is also touch screen, but when you open the flap, you get a full keyboard, and a camera. New technology allows you to get on the internet with LG Voyager, which you can also do on the iPhone. The iPhone and the LG Voyager are very good and most upgraded phone. Thanks to new technology, we can have internet access in more places.

Estrella's Position on New technology

7th and 8th graders in the 21st Century Pilot Program have experienced new technology powered by Microsoft. Many people believe that young students, like us, shouldn't be able to do so. However, students our age are learning different subjects than regular students. We learn Science and Math Reasoning, Globalization, Information Literacy, Mandarin Chinese, Critical Thinking, and The Arts, which is like P.E. We use our technology to take notes like we would in our notebook, but the laptop replaces pen and paper. The latest technology allows us to take notes in our own handwriting, and if we want, we have the choice to convert it to text, or keep it in our familiar handwriting. 7th and 8th graders shouldn't be judged or told what we can or cannot use. Intelligent learners should be rewarded for what we learn, and in our case, we are rewarded with this useful technology.

Caring Cats Control Cars
Many Men Move to Mars
Rebellious Riders Rock n Roll
