What I think about electronic devices

         This week I ordered an iPad mini with retina display. It was the first time I order a electronic device at the first day it goes on sale. At 5:00 am, Nov 12th, I find that the apple online store had been closed and upgraded. Then it opened again and the iPad mini with retina display hit the shelves. I selected the model I want and checked out immediately. Because according to the market prediction report I have read, ipad mini would be out of stock frequently in the early one or two months. I order it so quickly to make sure I can get one not too soon.
        Why do I buy it? Mostly because it has some properties that really attracted me. Firstly, as people can see in its name, the new screen with high resolution. I just think it is better for my eye health. But that's not important. What made me want to order it is that the processor. If people have some knowledge about the architecture of the processor, they would know that this time the processor has a great advance. The last reason is that the system and user interface also improved a lot.
       I am a person that like to play and try lots of electronic devices, I have many smartphones and tablets. Based on my own experience about them, I write a list about the factors that contribute to my desire to purchase in my mind. In most of the conditions I would like to consider the device's operating system and application ecosystem first. Then I will consider the performance. The user interface and the appearance is what I consider at last. Why are those factors listed in that order? Because I order those factors due to how much it affected to my experience of using. When I use the electronic device, actually I am using the application runs in it but not the processor. So how many applications the operating system has and their quality is the most important. Then I will need a better performance device that can run these apps well. Both of the software and the hardware change so fast these years, each year the software requires higher hardware performance. So not so good performance would cause so bad experience. I care less about the appearance because it can be changed by consumers, and the UI would definitely be beautiful if a system has huge amount of apps. There is always a good choice in large amount of choices.

Right about talking

Talking in a public place request other’s permission, or you are sure that no one against you. I have found that many students in my residence hall talking all the time, they talking in their room, talking in the hall way, and talking in the lounge room. Talking everywhere, anytime, seems that they never feel tired, never feel thirsty, and never stop. It makes so hard for me to find a place to study in the residence hall. It caused a lot of inconvenience. I don’t want to walk outside for too long in the winter. But now, I only spend few hours on sleeping in the residence hall, all of others time I study ,read or watch something outside. I have talked to these people, and it did not work. I have also talked to RA and other stuffs of the recidence hall, they said that was a problem about different culture, and want me to understand. I was appreciate that they helped a lot. The environment is more orderly now. But they were wrong. There is nothing about culture. It is just my personal hobby that I would like to study in a quite place, and that is not important. What important problem is, the problem is not a culture problem, but something is right or wrong.

A person do not have the right to talking in every place except his or her personal place, or there should be other rules that show to everybody. What place means here is how big the area that the sound of the talking can be heard. For example, a person cannot talking very loudly in his house. It seems that the house is a personnal place, but the area which is covered by the sound is not belongs to him. It sounds a little strange, and maybe hard for people to believe that they don't have the right to talk. But I think it is true. Talking right is not a part of the human right. What human right is the right belongs to individual person. Talking right is not that kind of right, obviously when you talk to someone, it is not a right belongs to you, it belongs to everyone who takes a part in or can heard this talk. So it is easy to figure out that everyone should get others permission before they start talking. That is confused, because people must wonder why we don't do that every time and we still can have a good conversation most of the time. That is because, although we should do that reasonably, but it is not gonna happen in our real life. It definitely waste lots of time. But we are humans, we have intelligence. We create a new way to rule this activity. That is, people can talk if everyone agrees or no one raises objection with it. Most of the times, the second condition happens. When we make a conversation, usually we are happy to do that, so we don't need to determine that.
That's why I think it is not about culture but they are wrong. Believe it or not, China does a better job than US on this problem. I used to call the police to let a person stop talking in China. I haven't thought of that, until I saw it by myself, I found it is true that in some area like this, China protect human right better than US. I have suggested to stuffs and RA that they can each make room a different function. Some for party, some for chatting, and some for study. So that no one would be bothered by others.

Soccer league in junior high school

These days I start play soccer with my friends in weekend, it make me recall the times I play soccer with my school mates in junior high school. I think a lot about the difference of sports activities in school between my hometown and here when I find that many friends here are so good at playing.

In my junior high school, there was a soccer field that overgrown with grass. It looked so green, yes, and you would find no one when you looked at it. And that was the reason why it looks so green, because it was used with such a low frequency, the grass grew very well. Then why was that happened? Why did students almost never played soccer on it? It was because teachers and principal thought that would have a bad influence on our study. Not only they held that opinion, but most of the educators in my home town agreed with that.

An idea came into my mind later, I used a tennis ball as a soccer, and made two goals myself, then I putted them on the square in front of the teaching building to made a little soccer field. I asked some friends played soccer on it at the break. I did the same thing every day, as time went by, the game became a soccer league that lots of school mates joined us. It was really a memorable time we could have fun together.

Sport fans all over the world are known that in the Olympic Games, though China often won the first place of the medals table, we only won the gold medal from individual competitions. They often feels strange that why China can't get a good grade on team sports. The true story above gave the answer, when most of the people don't have time or was not allowed to do some sport activities they like, citizens will become unhealthy. It is possible that one or two people ,in 1.3 billion people, are genius that still do a good job and can won the gold medals in the Olympic game. But that thing definitely won't happen 11 times to build a soccer team.

I am happy that some of the educators in my home town realized what was the problem. When I went to high school, we had different school rules, we can play soccer on the soccer field at the break time. They still limited the time we play, we could only play in the afternoon. But change was good, I hope that more they could realize more and do more changes in the future. So that citizens will become healthier. It's really beneficial to all of us.
