Forget 'Dislike' – here are 12 new buttons Facebook really needs



http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/sep/16/facebook-dislike-new-buttons

the founder of Facebook said that not every moment is a good moment so in order for people to express empathy he is introducing something similar to the dislike button. This article is based on Facebooks introducing a dislike button and then 12 other buttons that the public think facebook should introduce. some of them include some sarcastic buttons eg "your baby looks like all the other babies" and talking about in which content the public would use it for this example is used so that, the newly parents are not mislead, therefore used to suggest not being miss led.

  • "i give it a year" the most voted by the public for newly weds or people in a new relationship.
  • working on the dislike button 
  • has been requested since Facebook first launch
  • its to express empathy 
In my opinion this is a good idea in some content for example when someones posting something about a tragedy it may be awkward for a person to like a post about a death or a tragedy, therefore from an empathy aspect it is a good idea. meanwhile the social media is full of hate and this may just increase the hate going around which may lead to further problems such as cyber bulling. 



Apple products article




This is an article based on the Apple launch event in San Francisco, where they talked about the new apple products being launched this September. Apple announced the ipad pro being larger then the average ipad with the a screen of 12.9 inches, it is said to be 1.8 times faster then the latest ipad,it is said to have a stating price of $799 for 32GB to $1079 for 129GB. the ipad pro is compatible with the apple pencil which is $99 which is a powered device that needs researching. They also talked about the iphone 6s and the features that apple consumers would expect such as 3D touch (which is sensitive to touch to command the phone to do different things) and the upgrades on the apple tv such as voice searches an applestore and touch surface remote.

Statical info
  • 12.9 inch screen
  • 1.8 times faster
  • $799-1079
  • 32GB-129GB
  • 3D touch for iphone 6s
  • release date 25th september
  • pre order date 12th september 
This article just comes to show the development of technology which can have its positives and negatives. I think having a voice commanded TV would make people lazy and the value/ struggle of remote would be forgotten. However the advance in technology and the new and unique ideas that apple are presenting can motivate competitive markets to get innovating which would lead to a further advance in technology as a result making the consumers lives easier. Furthermore the release date is very well planned out as it is close to Christmas which would mean that the demand for those apple products would increase, in addition the autumn is when most new apple products are released therefore staying true to their brand.
