This course has bring to me so many things to learn and now I feel more better about writing essay because it was amazing for us to learn so many important step of doing essay .And for sure my skills has improve much better in writing to, by using my laptop , organizing all the main idea and the supporting ideas ,And am sure I  will use these  skills that I have learned of this course in the future, whether at work or in my study’s in future. Let’s not forget the big thanks to our teacher for his all time, and teaching us something interesting and so important to our life.He was supporting us all the time and whenever we need help he was there for us and he gave us so many chances improve and fix our writing even he was correcting our mistakes and showing it to us so we can learn from our mistake. The big part is that the most new for me to learn is how to make a good reference and how to research in a good way that helps Us to find what we need in our project. In addition I learnt from this course how to summarize an article or essay. In other way it was a bit hard for some of our colleague because they were having some problem not understating about reference, citation, and what this course really needs, but soon we got to know the value of it .

Story of stuff

Story of stuff

Introduction on

Have you wondered where people buy   their stuff from and where it goes after? When we throw it out first their stuff moves to a long system, this system is called the materials economy. This witches extraction, production, distribution to consumption last to disposal as described in the story of stuff .If you think about it a bit more from the beginning you will notice it’s not just those 5 steps they are things more than that with a lot missing and even more this system interacts with the real world .People get the main things to make this system work and government witch are handling all the system money.in the end, this system can’t be maintained over a long time.

Extraction

 Is a word that explains trashing the planet on the earth when we are cutting the trees, we use up all the water and we wipe out the animals? So here we are running out of resources. We use many things from the environment, people cutting forest mountains and removal mining the planet so fast 40 %of water become undrinkable and creates pollution. We are using more than our share people who live here according to the government and corporations which are bigger than the government of some countries are using more than their share, Like the US, they have 5% of the word population they do to the third world is to go and take somebody else land and do the same thing” We can improve our extractive practices to be less harmful to the planet” (Story of stuff, 2007).

Production

Next, the material goes to production what, are happens there we use energy to make toxic and turns them in to a Product production is where things impact of health and environment.   People with no option are moving from their home and place they live in to the cities looking for work no matter its hard it or toxic. “The people who bear the biggest brunt of these toxic chemicals are the factory workers” (Story of stuff, 2007). So do we know then? It’s not just  the resources get wasted her people to the hall community get wasted  one way of prevent from getting the informant less toxic is bye moving the manufacture overseas  getting someone else land but later then the toxic will move to the cities

Distribution 

After than this system will move to distribution is where it going to be transporting and selling the stuff. The goal her to keep the people buying and keep the system flow moving in the right way as their strategy they plan of therefor where it will go to build new things and create more cutting transporting and selling ALL the stuff quickly and cheaply. “The goal here is to keep prices down, keep the people buying and keep the materials flow moving” (Story of stuff, 2007). The tree and build wildlife, cars traffic gases and adding more toxic to the environment.

Consumption

Here when it will go to consumption, or when you say what people consume In a day or any day it will more than what it should be .Maybe because everything it has its own period of time some stuff are designed to be broken in a short time and then you will need to go and buy new one. One example is PCs, they are making new computers with so many new functions and specifications   so the buyer will go and take them. And so many other things that they using manufacturing to let the people eyes go and buy them same as phones and ipad. While more stuff doesn’t bring happiness, we know what does: “family time, health community, collective action towards shared goals” (Story of stuff, 2007). And it true we don’t sit with our family is because we like to spend it out shopping.

Disposal

If we will talk about disposal it is when we buy a lot of stuff in our home and we get bored from it there is the time when we will throw it away and get rid of it.There is so many ways of stopping that one of the ways there is a manufacturing that has the work to do that goop and make the environment safer for us. So it will not pollute the area and the release the toxins out to the air there are some companies that no one wants to deal with, because their ways are unsafe to the environment. “The materials economy eventually end up as waste to be disposed somewhere, usually dumped or burned or recovered for recycling”(story of stuff,2007).

Consumers in the UAE

Use people are highly materialistic society .They spend a lot of money by buying new stuff without think how the stuff made or when it throw where it go they need awakening to choose products wisely and adapt to lifestyle.

Also the consumption effects the environment by create products and produce pollution and waste issues relating to consumption hence also affect environment degradation , poverty ,hunger and even the rise in obesity.

In conclusion

Natural resource is the most important elements in our life to keep our lives safe. The government has the authority to make the life simple and safe for people and in the other side can make it harder and unclear for them. The material economy contains extractions to produce to distribute to consume and to dispose. The UAE trying the best to save the environment and reduce the affective of economic material.

Wireless

Wireless technologies

Etisalat has been the telecommunications service provider in the United Arab Emirates since 1976. Since then, it has built up state-of-the-art telecom infrastructure and taken a leadership position of innovation and reliability among regional and international operators

There are many reasons why wireless networks are used. Like her in our country we start using wirelees on   2004, the wireless subscriber base worldwide is expected to reach 1.4 billion users, and approximately 300 million users will be accessing the Internet from some form of wireless. The race is on, and ., its can be use so easy and it make life more easier you can use  the wireless for many reason  One reason is for a temporary backup to an existing broken cable network. Cable networks can leave many users disconnected from the network by one bad or broken cable you can connect to the internet from anywere and easier than the cables line. When this happens a wireless network may help to get these users connected with much more faster speed. This also leads to connect more than one computer at the same time

Wireless developed faster now days by the time

It would be much easier to connect the disconnected users to the network if they were already set up with the proper wireless networking software and hardware. Therefore, being used as a backup is very useful another reason wireless is needed is because there are some places where cables just cannot reach. This may be the case in many businesses where cables cannot be run across roads, long distances, or to mobile users. With a wireless network these are not obstacles. Wireless networks provide, which was just mentioned as a problem for cable networks, the option of portability. Cell phones, pagers and palm pilots are all items that could not be connected to networks, such as the Internet, if not for wireless networks Wireless Internet also improving performance, at reduced costs by facilitating the fast identification and repair of network faults, wireless also make us connect throw Wi-Fi with all the wireless technology

In our college like using the internet all threw the college and we are connecting throw the printers and do out work easier  and for future  its planning to brings a new things and programs that can be easy connect to the wireless as ipad. “Dubai Etihad airways will have access to wireless internet onboard by the end of the year as global airlines try keep pace with wireless innovation, according to Etihad CEO”(Wikipedia, April 12, 2012) .

Over the years technology has grown up and got more advanced is so many ways , As you can define technology as modern or future developments of wireless will get faster and more by the time come especially in many ways

Mostly and much regards to those people who make this life much easier with wireless bye changing society in internet life ,not  just internet even the way we live , it has changed  and the way we be in touch and communicate become easier  .

Personal Reflection

Personal Reflection

Before starting with my reflection about my class, I had these negative feelings of being afraid from my class that I will not understand the course or get anything useful out of it. But in fact it gets to be the other way for me. Its first time I use the new technology like laptop for writing my essay and summary and it got to be something great for learning. Taking Classes about writing it’s a bit more interested especially when it goes to some topics when u need to look for it from the web and searching on what u looking for. Then I felt good about it these feelings started to from my body after the first assignment. I was assigned to by summarizing it, I honestly felt like am not going to do it, but at the End I mad that and it made to us more improvement and by time. This course it open to us some more new things of learning like on doing reference in bib me and how to find database and getting the reference from bibliography .I was not aware of this that kind of researching things. When I started this course, my only background knowledge about learning and writing in English is just something on our mind and now we can do research from websites about any subject that teacher give it to us to search information about it. . I think this course is very important for all students because it’s teach you how to take main ideas from an essay or anything that’s more .
