Essay about iPad and textbooks

These days technology has become very important in our life. And with the emergence of two biggest and famous companies such as Apple and Samsung, the people can not live without their products such as iPhones, iPads and iPods because it has many good education programs.

Second, iPad is not complicated to use because all people from different ages,even kids, know how to use it easily. In short, iPad is better than textbooks because it is easier.

There are many companies and schools now using iPad because it is popular, evolved and has many features. First, we can do many things on the iPad. For example, playing entertainment games, reading books, newspapers, stories, and we can become in touch with the breaking news from the world. Second, iPad has more options than textbooks. For example, we can download some applications to learn different things, and we can surfing the Internet, check emails and social networks at the same time.

To conclude, iPad is better than textbooks because it is easier, lighter and it has many entertainment and educations applications. In my opinion, in the future it will be no computers, no laptops. All people will use iPad and iPhones only.

Cultural differences in counting (summary)

Many people assume that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientist have discovered that this is not true. People in different parts of the world use different methods to count on their fingers. In the United States, people begin counting with their first, or index, finger. In China, people count by using a variety of finger positions. Some languages have only a few words for numbers and others don't have any words for numbers. A group of scientists worked with aboriginal children in Australia. The scientists studied people who have a very small vocabulary for numbers. In tests, aboriginal children listened to taps from a stick and then put out markers to match the number of taps they heard. The children put out the correct number of markers. In a similar study the Piraha tribe don't have words that means some and more. Although all humans have the ability to understand quantities not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting.
