The Story Of My Stuff: The Ipod-nano Many products are involved in the construction of an iPod nano; however the most significant is by far the microprocessor chip inside. A microprocessor is essentially the heart of the ipod this chip or integrated circuit is a small piece of silicon with transistors of the microprocessor etched onto it and may contain tens of millions of transistors depending on the processor. Essentially machine instructions or commands tell the microprocessor what to do. According to Marshall Brain microprocessors can “Use arithmetic logic unit (ALU) to compare mathematic operations, can move data from one memory bank to another, and can make decisions and jump to new instructions based on the decisions”(Microprocessor Logic). Th microprocessor has many functions and according to Marshall Brain they are capable of doing many tasks. Virtually all computers and most complex electronics contain some type of microprocessor in their operating system. The microprocessor is the heart of the ipod itself and basically tells the ipod how to operate and does a majority of the work in the ipod. Ultimately without this microprocessor the ipod wouldn’t work. The microprocessor is the heart and soul of the ipod, without the microprocessor the ipod would not exist. Most products in the USA are made or manufactured in other countries such as China, Korea or Taiwan to name a few. While the USA is responsible for the ideas, concepts, software and design of the ipod almost all of the ipod’s creation and manufacturing is outsourced to countries like Japan, Taiwan and China. Japanese companies are mostly responsible for the hard drive display driver, and display module of the ipod; however some Japanese companies may outsource wor... ... middle of paper ... ...a, the Czech Republic, Japan, Singapore, the U.K. and the U.S. security personnel are with the devices every step of the way, from truck depots, airports, and storage warehouses until the product is finally unveiled”.(Adam Santariano, The IPhone's Secret Flights From China to Your Local Apple Store). After that Fed-ex ships products to the U.S. by plane each shipping about 450 thousand products, once in the U.S. products are generally shipped by trucks or other routes. Afterwards Apple views sales data and sends products to where the demand is highest. Apple manages the orders from people with specific tastes such as memory and color. Online orders are normally sent to China where the customized according to demand and shipped back to Apple. Along with the impact on natural resources like gas and fuel to ship these products there is also the impact of the chemicals.
Image appeal means to catch the attention of society with pictures. What image appeal does to our reality, Postman inserts that images does something with the message that we can’t. In Postman’s article “Peek-a-Boo”, he discusses about the commodity that images gives to society. It gives an incoherent, impotent, and irrelevant feeling. He also states that the Peek-a-Boo world does not rely on commentary or explanation. Sherman’s piece, Untitled Film Still #14 it denotes the mirror/lens dynamics
The acquisition of knowledge and the retrogression from man’s natural state are both characteristics of modernity in Western civilization. Writers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Karl Marx, and Fyodor Dostoevsky offer criticisms regarding the implications of these changes according to their respective historical contexts. Despite the continued progress of man since these contexts, the arguments these writers pose are still applicable today. Each offers a different perspective to be critically considered
A heavily debated notion driven from different perspectives has been the role of tort in medical negligence claims. If in both cases a doctor breaches his duty of care and the patient is worse off; what is the difference between 45% - 55% to stand in the way of recovering something the patient held as important and of value? Is it justified to declare one person a remedy and another not purely by their percentage points of recovery when medical uncertainty is a factor? Here, the answer is sought
Beat, battered, scraped. These words bring a strong presence in writing in general but especially in My Papa’s Waltz. Words like these used together in a piece of writing paint a very violent and in some instances, abusive tone. Authors, very much like Vincent Van Gogh who chose his brushstrokes and color precisely to convey a certain message, craft their writing and choose their words very precisely to convey the tone and meaning they wish their readers to pick up. Theodore Roethke, the author of
In the play, Othello, by Shakespeare, there is a ferocious war going on. However, it is not the bloody war against the Turks that the audience anticipated. It is a more dangerous war than that: a psychological war that uses a person’s emotional state of mind and biggest fears against them. At the hands of all this is Iago, who stands by and watches his genius at work. Iago’s passion of war is what drove him to commit his acts of treachery, not his jealousy of Cassio nor his loathing of Othello. When
Protists are members of Protista, one of the five main kingdoms of organisms. They are eukaryotic, multicellular and unicellular creatures that are either microscopic or very large in size, and are found in moist and marine environments. Being mostly micro in size, 5 micrometers to 2 to 3 millimeters is the prevalent size for protists. Despite not being categorized in any other animal kingdoms due to their complex structures and heavy diversity, they still are very much like fungi, animals and plants
The narrator in “Battle Royal”, by Ralph Ellison, is too naive and meek to challenge his place in a society ruled by whites. He is a young, black man trapped in a world blighted with social inequality with limited opportunity to advance in life just because of his race. He is torn apart by his grandfather's advice and by his desire to please members of white society. Ellison uses satire and symbolism to depict the narrators struggle for equality and identity. The narrator is haunted by his grandfather's
Danza Kuduro is my favorite international song of all time. What makes this song so important to me is that fact that I do not know the words to the song and I love it because it makes me feel good. The tone of voice while Don Omar sings seems very up beat and cheerful and puts me in a great mood. Without understanding the words to the song it forces you to focus on the beat of the song. Danza Kuduro is an up beat song that you play when you are having a rough day or you are having a great day because

Section #1 - Challenge Idea: My idea starts with my goal to become a better listener. When I thought about how to become one, I immediately thought of a website called “Blah Therapy” (www.blahtherapy.com), where I used to visit during my off-days and share my thoughts with strangers. “Blah Therapy” is a platform where internet users can come to consult professional therapists or talk to other strangers anonymously. For the “Talk to Strangers” option, users can either be a “venter” – someone who
In Lord of the Flies, Golding extensively uses of analogy and symbolism like the dead parachutist in Beast from Air to convey the theme of intrinsic human evil through the decay of the character’s innocence and the island itself. In this essay, I will view and explain Golding’s use of specific symbolism to explain the novel’s main themes. In Beast From Air, the boys have the false idea of the beast being the dead parachutist that falls on the island: the fear the boys have of the beast leads to the
just waiting for the moment my ears would fall out. The drivers meeting sounded a little like this, Track Promoter: “I would like to thank each and everyone of you guys for coming out, blah blah blah blah, let’s try and race clean, blah blah blah blah blah, please tell your friends about our track, blah blah blah, thank
Lightning Never Strikes Twice 	A few miles off the cost of Cape Cod, sits the island of Nantucket. On this island, during the 1600’s lived the Haley family. Tom Haley was the only tobacco farmer on the island and due to this fact they were extremely wealthy. Their estate was the largest on Nantucket and was located right over a beautiful cliff. Tom and his wife Janice ate breakfast every morning at 6:00am everyday with their son Garnet. Late Thursday night a storm was getting very close to their
The Scorpion of a Town Insert your topic sentence here. (In The Pearl by John Steinbeck, the author uses blah blah blah to prove the points of blah blah points points.) Try not to follow the “road map” structure! Also, make sure not to repeat it in the concluding sentence. The first technique that John Steinbeck uses is repetition of sounds such as alliteration, assonance, and consonance. The author uses assonance in the phrase “Kino had found the Pearl of the World” (23) Although the phrase “Peal
