Our Favorite Technologies Described by Eddie Gomez https://padlet.com/egomez247/m4eyclk1qt30m4fq en-us 2021-02-16 02:47:47 UTC 2021-10-26 05:18:12 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f916.png Offer Up - Such a Useful App egomez247 https://padlet.com/egomez247/m4eyclk1qt30m4fq/wish/776644951 Hello students

So in terms of apps that make my life easier, my latest, greatest tech discovery has to be the Offer Up app, which let's users sell items from the comfort of their own homes. The reason this technology has worked well for me is because I have a garage full of things that need to go. Besides, who wants to have a yard sale every month? For example, I had eight pairs of Nikes in the box that didn't fit me, so I put them on Offer Up. Within hours, I was providing curbside service for my buyers. They got new shoes at a discount and I got a thick wallet. 

Since then, I have sold dozens of items ranging from antique levels to doghouses. My garage looks so much better and I have pocket change for steaks and kombucha.

Of course, there is the benefit of being a buyer too. I've saved a lot of money finding things I need on Offer Up. There is even a great notification system that lets you know if an item for which you are searching becomes available. Cha-chink!  Having confidence with using this emerging technology has  even lead me to similar apps  like Facebook Market Place. I highly recommend this app if your are even a little bit of a wheeler dealer type.]]> 2020-09-24 16:47:36 UTC https://padlet.com/egomez247/m4eyclk1qt30m4fq/wish/776644951 Mina Youkhana- Fidelity https://padlet.com/egomez247/m4eyclk1qt30m4fq/wish/1207552063 This app has several different types of uses. It allows you to invest in stocks, open up a retirement plan, and even send money to friends or family. You can start by making an account and choosing what kind of account you'd like to set up. It has many different uses that make it  easier to either invest or save your money. I would definitely recommend to anyone who's into investing or just wants to start early on saving for their retirnment]]> 2021-02-16 16:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/egomez247/m4eyclk1qt30m4fq/wish/1207552063 Grace Shrader-Memoji-The Creation of Characters https://padlet.com/egomez247/m4eyclk1qt30m4fq/wish/1207569755 Texting is one of the most used social media apps on the planet.  Due to this fact, emojis are symbols used in texting to represent words, so the user may reply quicker.  However, some people, like myself, don't find the exact character, or emoji, they are looking for.  This is where Memoji comes in.    Memoji is an app in which an individual can create, edit, or delete their own emoji or character in the form of a human being.                                      
How does this app work?  When iPhone or iPad users click on this app, the first slide allows them to make adjustments to the skin color, freckles, cheeks, and beauty spots.  The next stage lets users make changes to the hair style, hair color, and highlights.  The following slide then gives one a chance to even make adjustments to the shape of the eyebrows, the color, forehead marks, even brow piercings.  The next stage allows an individual to make changes to the eye shape, color, lashes, liner, and eyeshadow.  The following slide lets a user to make adjustments to the form of the head in contrast to the Memoji's age, as well as the general shape of the head.  The next stage gives individuals a chance to make changes to the nose size and piercings.  The following slide allows the user to make adjustments to the shape and color of the lips, the teeth, as well as mouth and tongue piercings.  The next stage lets the individual to make changes to the size of the ears, earrings, as well as options for audio, such as hearing aids, or Bluetooth ear pieces.  The following slide gives the user a chance to make adjustments to facial hair, which includes sideburns, as well as a variety of choices for mustache and beard combinations.  The next stage allows the individual make changes to the eyewear shape and color.  The final slide lets the user to make adjustments to the different types of headwear, color, as well as two choices of face coverings with a variety of color choices.                            
Memoji has made my life easier by allowing me to create my own characters I might have never found in the large selection of emojis.  Not only that, with each Memoji, it contains a variety of emotions.  This allows users to express their feelings through these characters.  Therefore, I believe Memoji is a very useful app, and I highly recommend it.]]> 2021-02-16 16:13:18 UTC https://padlet.com/egomez247/m4eyclk1qt30m4fq/wish/1207569755 Stephanie Machain-Credit Karma https://padlet.com/egomez247/m4eyclk1qt30m4fq/wish/1207966574 A technology website or app if you want to download to your mobile phones that has helped made my life easier was Credit Karma. It’s been founded since 2007, but I just recently started using it to track my credit score and help it rise. It helps manage my financials while also it helps me figure out which credit card would be compatible to help raise my credit. Credit Karma works by inputting your social security and your credit history shows up on the website/app, this information is gathered by TransUnion and Equifax two major credit bureaus. I would recommend Credit Karma if you want to monitor and raise your credit. Also, find the best APR percentage that would work for your budget on a credit card. ]]> 2021-02-16 17:39:27 UTC https://padlet.com/egomez247/m4eyclk1qt30m4fq/wish/1207966574 GuitarTuna-The Most Useful Musician App https://padlet.com/egomez247/m4eyclk1qt30m4fq/wish/1208544370 “GuitarTuna,” is an app that allows you to tune your guitar automatically with a click of a button, all for FREE.

It is basically like a google maps it’s used as a gps but it comes with much more that a the regular gps. This apps lets u know the speed limit, the traffic , and even if theirs police officers around the area your driving. I started using this app when I first started driving and it was very helpful. New drivers tend to be a little nervous about what the traffic , speed limits and of course police. Driving was so much easier with this app the app lets u know out loud when the speed limit has changed. It also lets u know when u about to arrive at a stop sign or a a traffic light. ]]> 2021-02-16 20:14:20 UTC https://padlet.com/egomez247/m4eyclk1qt30m4fq/wish/1208609300 Marcus Alvarez- myfitnesspal https://padlet.com/egomez247/m4eyclk1qt30m4fq/wish/1208742888 Myfitnesspal is an app that you can download onto your mobile device. I use this app to keep track of the food I'm eating throughout the day. I can even adjust the portion sizes on my phone to accurately track the amount of calories I'm eating per day. Everytime you eat something, you just log onto the app and record what you've eaten. Then you can adjust the portion size so it accurately represents how much you actually consumed. This makes my life so much easier. Now I don't have to worry about how much I'm eating throughout the day. All I do is track the food I'm eating throughout the day and that hassle is gone. I would definitely recommend this app to anyone who wants to take fitness seriously.]]> 2021-02-16 20:57:15 UTC https://padlet.com/egomez247/m4eyclk1qt30m4fq/wish/1208742888 Adrianna Machado https://padlet.com/egomez247/m4eyclk1qt30m4fq/wish/1208944054 Google Photos
An app that saves so much time and saved my life is Google Photos. This app allows users to to transfer their photos from their photo gallery to their google drive. This app helps so much because it can save many photos and it will not take up so much data on your phone. Many phones will not allow you to save a lot of pictures or videos on their phone but this will help with that. Their is a great feature which I love and it will let you free up space on your phone, which will delete the photos on your phone and save all of them on your google drive and you can see all of the pictures on the app. Another really cool thing about this app is that it can save all the people or pets that you took a picture of and separate them in different files so it it easier to access. An example is I took pictures of my family and it separated all my families faces in a row and I can put their nickname or their name and when ever I want to find pictures they are in, i just have to type in their name and all the pictures or video that they were in will show up. This app has many more cool options and it is free. I love taking pictures because it makes me remember that exact moment and it is very good memories to have. I recommend this app to anyone who loves taking pictures, like me or who needs to save more space on their phone.

Chatbooks is an app that you can get photos off your phone and into your hands. Its easy to edit, add, and rearrange your favorite photos to create a beautiful photo book. This app makes my life easier because all I have to do is tap what ever photos I want and then rearrange my photos how ever I want and put a caption with the photo. The cost of the books are $15 you get to put 60 pictures in your book and if you want to add more its so much for how ever many more you add. I would recommend this app to my friends and family because it saves me time from having to go pick up my photos at a store, then looking for an album to put them in, and lastly putting them into the album. With chatbooks I don't have to do any of that I just tap, arrange, pay, and then on my front porch. Its that easy and fun doing. ]]> 2021-02-16 23:50:20 UTC https://padlet.com/egomez247/m4eyclk1qt30m4fq/wish/1209096139 Christian Chavez- Robinhood- an extremely easy way to invest 2957501 https://padlet.com/egomez247/m4eyclk1qt30m4fq/wish/1209167493 Although controversial in these times Robinhood makes it simple to learn about stocks and invest. Based upon buy, keep, sell percentages you can find new ways of investing as well as get rid of declining profit. This app has helped me learn more about the economy and how it can fluctuate. during many times there has been a substantial drop in the economy. Robinhood can essentially keep you aware of those moments along with keep profit going. Unfortunately, there has been some wrongdoings within the company favoring wall street investors. This makes the little guy like you and I lose out on the big profit margins. I would highly recommend Robinhood to those who are interested in making money long term, or just want to learn more of how their money could grow. this can make life easier. The reasons can be, if you have money that is just sitting somewhere it’s better to watch it grow rather than have it accumulate even slower.

This comes in handy because it allows for it to go straight to your bank account. It helps when you might have forgotten your wallet or just need to pay someone. It makes my life easier because it allows me to pay my family or friends back right then and there without the hassle of getting money out of the bank. It is an easy concept because it takes less than 5 seconds really to pay anyone back. I would recommend this app to anyone because it is so simple  to install and get the hang of it. And it also allows for the easy transactions to those you may owe or the ones who owe you. It is a very convenient app to use nowadays.]]> 2021-02-17 03:38:58 UTC https://padlet.com/egomez247/m4eyclk1qt30m4fq/wish/1209566705 Aaron Sandhu - Skype https://padlet.com/egomez247/m4eyclk1qt30m4fq/wish/1209584130 Skype was founded in August of 2003 by Niklas Zennström, from Sweden, and Janus Friis, from Denmark. The purpose of the app is to let Millions of individuals and businesses use Skype to make free video and voice one-to-one and group calls at anytime and anywhere in the world. During it's prime days back in 2012, Skype had reached 45 million concurrent users. Eventhough Skype might not be as popular as it once was, but thing is it paved the way for new apps like Zoom or FaceTime. I used to use Skype back in the day to talk friends and family that I would not be able to talk to everyday, it made things very simple and easy to use, which is good for people that aren't tech savvy.

They work by connecting them through Bluetooth on your device. This makes everyday life easier because you don't have to worry about the cord getting in the way while doing daily tasks you are able to talk on them by just a push of a button. Yes I would recommend getting a pair of earbuds it will make working out and multitasking a lot easier when some one calls or listening to music when you are on the go or even cleaning your house.]]> 2021-02-17 04:08:57 UTC https://padlet.com/egomez247/m4eyclk1qt30m4fq/wish/1209606929 Ivan Hernandez Garcia- iPhone https://padlet.com/egomez247/m4eyclk1qt30m4fq/wish/1209898084 A technology that I recently had to adapt to is going from an android phone user to a iPhone user. At first it was a little weird for me to adapt to because I was an android user for about 6-7 years and just recently last Christmas one of my Christmas gifts was an iPhone because my older phone wasn't working and I didn't have any phone since Thanksgiving. It made my life easier because I have friends and cousins that would have iPhones and they would play games on their iPhones like a table pool game and I would want to play it too but I didn't have an iPhone. I would most definitely recommend getting an iPhone if you had an Android but it just depends what you like but for me get an iPhone.]]> 2021-02-17 06:51:32 UTC https://padlet.com/egomez247/m4eyclk1qt30m4fq/wish/1209898084 Araceli Delatorre https://padlet.com/egomez247/m4eyclk1qt30m4fq/wish/1209898701 A technology that I recently had to adapted to is having personal hotspot on my iPhone. Personal Hotspot works by using cellular network and then wirelessly sharing a data connection with other nearby Wi-Fi-enabled devices. It makes my life easier by allowing myself to accomplish any homework task that I have for the night when I am not home. This is useful for when you are traveling or for example like myself that is a student I can just turn it on and do my homework anywhere.]]> 2021-02-17 06:51:48 UTC https://padlet.com/egomez247/m4eyclk1qt30m4fq/wish/1209898701 Maliysia Poeun https://padlet.com/egomez247/m4eyclk1qt30m4fq/wish/1210450160 A new found technology that I discovered is an app on my iphone. This app is called Fetch Rewards. I love this app because they give you points in exchange for shopping anywhere. You can even get points for referring people. All you have to do is take a picture of a receipt. Once you hit a certain amount of points, you can redeem them for gift cards or a visa gift card. I have already redeemed all of my points and received a $50 visa gift card within a week. I would say it makes my life easier because you can get points based off of household items and products that you need. I would definitely recommend this app. ]]> 2021-02-17 09:57:02 UTC https://padlet.com/egomez247/m4eyclk1qt30m4fq/wish/1210450160 Rogelio Perez https://padlet.com/egomez247/m4eyclk1qt30m4fq/wish/1212716336 A technology I recently started using was a Mac desktop that is the newest model form apple.It easy to turn on and download apps all you have to do is enter passkey to access the computer. It makes my life easier because I get to do my homework and even paperwork for work on their, I can also access my email and other important documents I need.

It has features available for you to check prices, save coupons and earn cash back. You are also able to see purchase history. I find these features helpful because often times I forget what I have bought in the past. I also try to shop things that are on sale. Target will also run deals on their inventory online and not have it listed in store. It is helpful to have the application available to ask them to honor the sale.
