Summarizing how the gadget functions.

It seems that everything we access today is under lock and key. Even the devices we use are protected by passwords. It can be frustrating trying to keep with all of the passwords and keys needed to access any door or computer program. The Java Rings have been programmed to store electronic cash to pay for lunches, automatically unlock doors, take attendance, store a student's medical information and allow students to check out books. All of this information is stored on the ring's iButton. Students simply press the signet of their Java Ring against the Blue Dot receptor, and the system connected to the receptor performs the function that the applet instructs it to. In the future, the Java Ring may start our car. Mobile computing is beginning to break the chains that tie us to our desks, but many of today's mobile devices can still be a bit awkward to carry around. In the next age of computing, we will see an explosion of computer parts across our bodies, rather than across our desktops. Digital jewelry, designed to supplement the personal computer, will be the evolution in digital technology that makes computer elements entirely compatible with the human form.

Digital Jewerly - The Java Ring

Hello everyone...... In my previous blog i have discussed about digital jewelry. Today i am going to discuss about the major and minor parts of The Java Ring. The Java Ring is made of stainless-steel, 16-millimeters (0.6 inches) in diameter, that houses a 1-million-transistor processor, called an iButton. The ring has 134 KB of RAM, 32 KB of ROM, a real-time clock and a Java virtual machine, which is a piece of software that recognizes the Java language and translates it for the user's computer system. It is a computerized ring that will automatically unlock doors and log on to computers. The major component of this ring is iButton. The iButton is a computer chip enclosed in a 16mm thick stainless steel can. Because of this unique and durable container, up-to-date information can travel with a person or object anywhere they go. The steel iButton can be mounted virtually anywhere because it is rugged enough to withstand harsh environments, indoors or outdoors. It is small and portable enough to attach to a key fob, ring, watch, or other personal items, and be used daily for applications such as access control to buildings and computers, asset management, and various data logging tasks.

The Can and Grommet - ibutton


An iButton uses its stainless steel 'can' as an electronic communications interface. Each can has a data contact, called the 'lid', and a ground contact, called the 'base'. Each of these contacts is connected to the silicon chip inside. The lid is the top of the can; the base forms the sides and the bottom of the can and includes a flange to simplify attaching the button to just about anything. The two contacts are separated by a polypropylene grommet. The silicon chip within the iButton is protected by the ultimate durable material: stainless steel. We can drop an iButton, step on it, or scratch it. The iButton is wear-tested for 10-year durability. Wow!...

Minor Componets of The Java Ring

The minor components of the Java Ring is the Java Web. Java Web content is generally created as programs called applets. Applets aren't complete software applications. They work only in conjunction with a browser. There are all sorts of things Web designers do with applets, and one of the most popular applications is animation. The main advantages of Java are that it works on all operating systems and it is very flexible. We can create an animation program that draws simple vector shapes for the individual frames, or one that uses bitmap images. Java is particularly suited for creating interactive animations and combining animation with other Web page elements. In Java Rings, the Java Software is build in the rings. Wow…. very technical huh. Based on my research, all the components in the Java Rings is nanotechnology product.

Describing things

Digital Jewelry

How you ever heard of digital Jewelry?. Well let me explain. Digital Jewelry is a electronic device such as mini computers, cell phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and GPS receivers which is used as fashionable jewelry yet functional as electronic connecting device. We just need to wear it, the jewelry can be a watch or even rings. Digital Jewelry is an idea created from the combination of shrinking computer devices and increasing computer power used as fashion jewelry with embedded intelligence. The major component of digital jewelry is computer electronic device. The minor components are transistors on a microchip which is used to produce the computer gadget in the jewelry. It sounds very technical for me, but we have to agree to the fact that "Nothing is Impossible in todays generation".

3P - Plan, prepare and practise.

Finally i have finalized my presentation slides. I managed to practice with my friend Jacq. Based on my presentation, she give me some comments about my presentation slides and tips on how to improve my presentation sequence.

These are the criteria used to evaluate my presentation.

The Speaker/ Presenter
(i) LANGUAGE: She said my language is fluent and i need to improve my pronunciation.
(ii) EFFECTIVENESS: The understand my presentation flow and my presentation is relevant to the given topic.
(iii) STRUCTURE: She give some comment about my past, present, and future slides. She suggest that it would be better if i have background music when i show picture slides.
(iv) DELIVERY: She said i am confident during my presentation, but i need to improve on my body language and posture.
(v) VOICE: Her comments on my voice was, very loud and clear with correct intonation.
(vi) TIME MANAGEMENT: I am exceeding my time.

(b) The Slides
(i) LANGUAGE: Accurate and selection of words is suitable with content.
(ii) EFFECTIVENESS: She understands my content and the flow of my presentation.
(iii) STRUCTURE: She asked me to add a cover slide for my presentation before i begin my introduction.
(iv) CREATIVITY: Overall, she like my font type and size, photos, audio and the connection of my images to the given topic.

Who is the best presenter? Who is the worst presenter? Why?

After watching the whole clips on presentation, I have chose TJ Walker as the best presenter among the other six presenters. TJ Walker's speech was very easy to understand. He was confident while delivering his speech. He has a good body language when he was speaking and explaining about presentation technique. He definitely deserves the speaking expert title.

The worst presenter is Dick Hardt. I really cant believe that he is a CEO. Honestly speaking i don't know what is he trying to deliver in his speech. He is repeating the same thing again and again. As a audience i don't find his presentation as entertaining at all. He was voice is dull and where were no proper intonation in his speech.

The Microsoft guy is definitely not in worst list either. He didn't even look at the camera when he was speaking. His voice was too slow and i had a hard time to understand him.

Speech of introduction: Introducing Myself

From the given assignment, I choose the second option which is to introduce myself to the rest of the class. My goal is to inform my audience about myself and focusing on what makes me. Hence, in my introduction i need to make my own personal stand statement which defines me. For my presentation i have stated my personal stand statements.

In my introduction, i write my personal details and briefly explain about me in "a piece of me" slide.

My first personal stand statement, "Love to have my individual way". I like to put my own personal stamp on whatever I do. It includes my creativeness. Let it be it a business, a project, a home or whatever, i can develop and manage according to my own will and vision.

My second personal stand statement, "I forgive people". Everyone needs a second chance in their life. If anyone did something wrong to me, I'll definitely forgive them.

My third personal stand statement, "I’m an optimistic person". I love to handle my life in the most positive way. Being optimistic motivates me to do better in my life.

In my conclusion, i divide my presentation into my past, present and future. In that slides, i include some pictures which describes about my time frame and my life.
