Mirror Mirror On The Wall...

After reflecting upon all of the work and time spent on this blog project, I have learned a great deal about not only my topic but myself as a thinker. I have gained an enormous amount of information about the battle between Mac and PC. It is no longer just a silly commercial on the television but a real debate between two superheros of computer technology constantly challenging the other in attempt to make themselves look better. I developed my knowledge through all of the YouTube videos that demonstrated the media's huge influence on the platforms and its way of persuading the audience.

The knowledge I have gained through this entire blog project has influenced my thought processes of how to argue effectively and to look at both ends of the spectrum to successfully have a reasonable conclusion.

If I had more time I would have been able to dive deeper into this debate between PC and Mac to try and find the psychological aspect of choosing either or.

I tried my best to have effective clarity in my writing and ignore any possible confusion to my readers.

I tried to add a little twist to my tone in writing by having a more casual tone but with important information mentioned as well. I included several quirky and comedic toppings here and there to spice things up. The last thing I wanted to do to my readers was bore them. I also wanted them to become fascinated and interested in finding the cure for the battle between the two supercomputers or have a better understanding of how they choose their technology. Technology has had such a huge impact on our lives today that I think it is absolutely necessary to have a little bit of understanding that the decision to choose between various options is important to make your technology mindset correct to your needs and wants.

I do believe that my blog has reflected what has gone through my mind during my blog writing because of the insightful links and videos I have interlaced in this particular blog to make the information an easier less textbook like adventure.

While commenting on other blogs I did incorporate the "compliment sandwich" by always stating something positive first while critiquing respectively.

Overall, I have tinkered with the part of my brain that enjoys the new innovations of technology and gained knowledge that has successfully highlighted stereotypes, media advertisements and societal factors of purchasing the "perfect" laptop. However, a "perfect" laptop does not exist because in an earlier post "perfection" was known as "impossible." Every single thing in life can be improved in some shape or fashion no matter how perfect they may seem from the exterior. While choosing the ideal computer do not go for perfection, instead, go for your best friend that will treat you right in any problem you face in life. That best friend will never crash on you and will always keep you on the right track!
