The New Negro: New Representation of the Black American People
In order to make myself up-to-date, I tried to read news everyday whether through internet, newspaper or radio but mainly on technology. Thus, I consider myself quite a technologically savvy person. Because of reading news, I don’t need to buy too many gadgets which upgrade their versions unexpectedly fast! Another way to come to know of the latest gadgets, I would rather be shopping in electronic stores. While shopping, we can try out the products. Then, we recognize more about them and there is no need to buy them with their newest models. Besides, when your friend buys a new gadget, you can try and play with it. This can also improve our technological knowledge and give more topics to communicate with your friends. Even though I haven’t gotten so much money to buy all the latest version, I have to buy some when in need. For instance, I really need an e-dictionary which is small enough to be portable, then I can use it anywhere. Morever, a laptop is also a very useful nowadays since we can go browsing the Internet everywhere providing Wi-Fi in Hong Kong. So, I’m planning to buy a new one because the new laptop we will buy already includes the Wi-Fi function. However, I need to do research first because not all brands are reliable! In a nutshell, technology nowadays is more and more important because we need to rely on them more and more frequently. That’s why we have to learn new things every

    In Chapters 7 and 8 of the book Creating Black Americans: African-American History and its meanings, 1619 to the present by Nell Irvin Painter, the author shows that even after emancipation, African Americans made huge steps in the advancement of their own education and professional lives, even when faced with white supremacy groups that were doing everything in their power to push blacks back into being slaves and a subordinate people. This idea is shown when Painter says, “But black success threatened and sometimes enraged Southerners unwilling to share power with people they considered little more than slaves” (Painter 178). In saying this she shows us that even though African Americans were now “free”, they were still struggling to survive…

    In the past 10 years there have been many changes in technology. We went from burning CD’s to downloading songs to an MP3 player. We went from a big boxed TV’s to Flat screen TV’s that you can control with your hand and voice. The memory on these things has improved as well. With the CD’s only being able to hold around 700 MB, while MP3 players can hold up to 64GB or more. And hard drives use to only go to 1 TB, now there are hard drives that can hold up to 3TB or more. My favorite new technology is the smart phones. Who would have thought back in 2000 that our phones would be miniature computers, and that there would be an App for everything. From banking to real estate, to even ordering your food right from your phones apps. It’s amazing!…

    The history of gadgets spans as far back as humanity itself - since hominids began creating tools to make their lives easier. Humans have always created devices and appliances with specific practical purposes that were initially thought of as novelties, due to unfamiliarity with and initial unwillingness to accept the technology. Today, industry has augmented the creation of new gadgets, while certain retailers, including Brookstone and Richard Thalheimer's RichardSolo.com, specialize in popularizing them. What famous inventors Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell and Leonardo da Vinci, among others, had in common was foresight. They understood that a lifetime spent playing with what others viewed as toys…
