The last time I wrote a blog post was definetly a long time ago. Probably almost 4 to 5 months ago! Crazy! Well, up till then I have been doing very prominent activities in technology such as The Knowledge Society(TKS), getting a new computer, and coming very soon, a new phone. First, let's start with TKS. Right now we are in the midst of an AI Hackathon. A hackathon is basically when teams create an innovation or idea that can be better used in a problem or for convenience purposes. Along with this, we have been training strong mindsets such as being able to think unconventionally, a mindset of success much like a CEO of a large company, and also being able to work in groups discussing about different uses in certain areas of tech. Two weeks ago we had a session on how AI can positively or negatively effect or lives. We talked about certain "laws" around AI in terms of use and how robots that are very similar to humans can impact the human race centuries later. Secondly, my new computer. Last week, I bought the Lenovo Legion 5i 15 inch. A beast of a computer: https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/legion-laptops/legion-5-series/Legion-5i-15/p/81Y60041US . Some specs include a 240Hz panel, NVIDIA RTX 2060, and a 10th gen Core i7 processor. I have run games such as GTA V and Fortnite at over 80fps and the screen is super smooth and glitchless. The price and the specs change from time to time on Lenovo's website, but compared to other high end laptops out there on the market right now, $1200 for this was an absolute STEAL!! I had a 21-inch iMac for almost 7 years so it was about time before I headed off to college to get something that would last. Lastly, the iPhone 12. I had lost my phone two months back and really needed to get a new phone. The last phone I had was the iPhone SE and it was already reaching 5 years so it was about time to get a new one too. Today, October 13, 2020, the iPhone 12 was announced and if I pre-order it now, then I can get it on October 23, 2020: https://www.apple.com/iphone-12/?afid=p238%7CsjVTORUmL-dc_mtid_20925d2q39172_pcrid_472640912856_pgrid_110954125373_&cid=wwa-us-kwgo-iphone--slid---Brand-iPhone12-Announce- . One thing I was really surprised by during the launch was that for the one phone there were 2,000,000 pixels. That's literally INSANE! Something that I could fit into my pocket and go anywhere with has 2,000,000 PIXELS!! Over the past months, I am excited to be exploring the new and updated technologies and compare them to my old computer and phone and see how much better they are.
