Jill Hutchison (in Vivalon's technology class) explained the difference between the Apple and the Android operating systems. I like the Apple products, and think they are preferred by high-tech industries. Which do you prefer to use and why? Computer, tablet, or iPhone? I like my iPhone because I can take it everywhere. Also, it can help me get assistance in an emergency. It knows its orientation. If I fall, it will ask me if I am OK. Do you prefer to receive an e-mail, text, FaceTime, or old-fashioned letter? I prefer e-mails and texts, because they are easy and I can access them using my iPhone. Homa Karimzad What is the last tech item you learned? I learned about computer hardware.
