multitasking can have a significant negative effect on the availability of Smartphone devices. This paper propose an adequate approach of charging and recharging Smartphone batteries by Converting Power to Data and transmitted through a Wi-Fi ( Radio Wave) connectivity, also interconnect with Power consumption application that will automate and asynchrous power consumptions . The outcome of this research is recharge Smartphone batteries whenever Wi-Fi connectivity is available and accessible. And
A while back, I wrote about the death of “TV Time.” This concept was simple—people were spending less time watching TV while sitting on their couches, slave to some arbitrary schedule. Perhaps the article should have been named, “The TV Guide is Dead.” Oh well. Regardless, it got the point across. Less people were watching according to schedule. They wanted to watch when they wanted to watch. The premise was based on data from a Nielsen report, State of the Media: Consumer Usage Report (2011) which
ever. Also I will talk about Wired communication which is one of the older technologies but now we have several different types of media forms on wired communications and they all do a different job. Wireless Technologies could be satellite links or Radio communication. They all have good and bad points to discuss. Wired Technology could include twisted pair, Fibre optic or broadband over power lines. Wireless communication has transformed the way we communicate to each other.
Click. On goes the television, off goes your mind. Click. Boring. Click. Seen it. Click. It will do. Barbara Ehrenreich’s argument that television is corrupting social society is valid for the once great mode of communication has become a couch potato breeding machine.

There was a time when many reporters were content to give just entertainment to the public. Cosell believed that sports needed to be changed. Richard Lapchick viewed Cosell as a seminal figure in the industry. “While people may have wanted the escape sports provided, they also needed to hear the principles he spoke about” (Shapiro, 1995).

New Technology of the 1920s In this day and age, it is difficult to imagine a world without radio, television, or penicillin. These are simply common things used everyday by people from all different walks of life, but many of these seemingly common technologies were not around prior to the 1920s. Many of these 1920s inventions still have a large impact on the daily lives of people around the world today.

Radio Configuration Drones use Radio Frequency (RF) transmitters (TX) and receivers (RX) to send the information used to control the drone. Inside the radio, transmitters encode the digital data from the movements of sticks and switches into an electric current, which gets sent through wires to the radio’s antenna. There, the electric currents generate electromagnetic radiation, or radio waves. Waves with different amplitudes (heights) or frequencies (durations) carry different messages. (FM and
Our world has changed, we have changed. We are now virtual. The people of today are spending more time staring at a screen than anything else in their lives. According to data journalist Felix Richter, Americans are using electronic media for over eleven hours a day (Richter).
