DemRepub_Sept 2008.pngFor once there is some bi-partisan agreement on an issue.  :-)

Both Sen. McCain and Sen. Obama have used their campaign resources to get their supporters to help that Gulf Coast region in need.


Both have used text messaging to get the word out.

Technology is changing the world politics too.

Good to see that in times of crisis there is no time for politics.

With Hurricane Gustav bearing down on the Gulf Coast the need to communicate could not be greater.


The major providers of cell phone service seem to have learned from Hurricane Katrina, and are prepared this time to keep the flow of information going throughout the storm.


Just keep all of the folks in the Gulf Coast region in your prayers.

You knew it had to happen.

 

You use your cell phone to check your email, take pictures, get voice messages, and surf the web.


Now you can use your cell phone to bank online.

 

Of course this is only the beginning, and you can expect the technology to continue to expand to meet the demand and needs of every consumer.

Thumbnail image for Thumbnail image for TechTerm_Image 2008.pngSomeone asked me, "What in the world does 3G mean?

They told me, "You're TechnicalJones, What's the deal?"  :-)

Ok, here's the deal!  Hope it makes your day!  :-)



LJJ_TechTerms_3.JPGDefinition:  3G refers to the third generation of developments in wireless technology, especially mobile communications.

The third generation, as its name suggests, follows the first generation (1G) and second generation (2G) in wireless communications.

3G includes capabilities and features such as:

1.  Enhanced multimedia (voice, data, video, and remote control);

2.  Usability on all popular modes (cellular telephone, e-mail, paging, fax,     videoconferencing, and Web browsing).

3.  Broad bandwidth and high speed (upwards of 2 Mbps).

4.  Roaming capability throughout Europe, Japan, and North America.

While 3G is generally considered applicable mainly to mobile wireless, it is also relevant to fixed wireless and portable wireless.

3G offers the potential to keep people connected at all times and in all places.

I know you enjoy your digital products (i.e. Cameras, DVRs, etc.), and all of the fun you have using them.

On the other end, how do you store and keep up with all of this information that you have created.

The problem of storing and safely maintaining your digital information is another technological issue that people are dealing with everyday.

With the amount of information we are all creating it will continue to be an issue of concern for all of us both now and in the future.

AOL 6_August 2008.JPG
My new show deals with the issue of our dependence on Electronic Mail or as we all call it, EMAIL!

Recently, America Online (AOL) released the findings of their 4th Annual Email Addiction Survey, and some of the results about our use and need for email was very interesting.

Do you have an email addiction?

Recently, I had the opportunity to visit the America Online Corporate Offices and speak with Erin Gifford of AOL Corporate Communications to discuss the results of their Annual Survey and other tech issues.

"TALKING TECHNOLOGY WITH LEROY JONES, JR."

August 14, 2008

TOPIC: EMAIL ADDICTION

Postcard_August 2008.gif

Traditionally, August is the vacation month.  With the use of technology we can communicate by email and text almost instantly.

 

It almost makes you wonder . . . why even go on vacation?

 

In the U.K., it seems that technology may have helped inspire people to communicate the "old school" way.  The postcard is the new hot item to send.  Simple and very direct.

 

In a world that has become increasing isolated and cold.

It is good to know that not everyone has lost that personal touch.

 

Happy and Safe Travels.

 

I will be looking for my postcard from you in the mail!  :-)

Caution_July 2008.jpgAre you looking down getting ready to send that important text message then . . . BOOM . . . you run right into that brick wall?

Doctors are saying that you are not alone in getting hurt while texting.

It seems that folks are getting injured more by not paying closer attention while communicating.

Be careful.

Make sure you look up and don't run into the wall!

Phone Water_July 2008.jpgHave you ever dropped your phone in the water?

Then realize that you did not get the protection plan for the phone, which meant that you would be on the hook financially to replace it.

Of course, in our present high tech world someone had to invent a product to deal with this issue.

Looks like some folks have figured out a way to protect your phone with a splash proof coating.

Looks like an interesting idea and product.

Well . . . Well  . . . What will they think of next?  :-)
