How IT and IS has impacted you and the world today?

Information technology and information system are something that I familiar. But actually I do not well understanding before attending the class of Information System in Organisation (one of my subject in this semester).

After go through the first lesson, I knew that the information system and information technologies have been made big influential towards our life if compared with last century. As you can observe, many people are using smartphone, instead of keypad-phone. Since the phone is multifunction, it consists many functions like camera, message, game, education, reminder, recorder, etc. It just cannot get away from people’s life. I recognise its contribution as I usually contact with my family and friends by using LINE and WeChat. It is good for us to know each other. I can send the photos and stickers when chatting and joking with family and friends. 

I do not know how an organisation works? I do not know the complexity of the process of production, and also the functions of different departments. But from the book, I knew that information system and information technologies are essentially important for an organisation to make successful business.

From my observation, information system and information technologies can make convenient to consumer who wants to order a meal in a restaurant. For an example, I went to Sakae Sushi with my friends, it is a Japanese restaurant. When I sat down, I saw a screen beside me. At first, I wonder is that to entertain customers, but my friends said I am a ‘Kampong boy’. The screen enable customer to take its order by selecting the food and beverage. I think it is good, especially it will increase the accuracy of the foods order. Because once you selecting your meal it will direct connect to kitchen. If the waiters take order, they might make mistake the order.

Last few years, a brand new technology was surprising me. When I was driving to a shopping complex, there is a number show in each floor to indicate the remaining of parking lots. I think it is truly convenient for the drivers who seeking for a parking lot.

Information technology and information system have make big influential to human's life. It brings a lot of conveniences and making efficiency to improve the quality of human's life.   

Little Photo

Google play is a android market that enable people to
download varieties of applications and software.

Undeniable, there are many software in the Play Store market actually. But, I felt that some of the software may be less usage for me. I like to take photo, it is great to capture every scene that you like in your life, it can be foods, beautiful scenery, friends, streets, etc. Well, a software that I would like to introduce is Little Photo. You can download from Play Store, it is free of charge and very useful.

Just same like other software, Little Photo is a software to edit photo. Usually when we use the phone capture, it will save to gallery (I am using a Samsung phone). When I am free or waiting bus, I will spend my time to edit my photo by using Little Photo. I persisted to use this software about 2 years, just because of its great functions and convenient. It is making my photos look better and more attractable. 

You can edit your photos by following these simple steps:

    Choose your photo.

There are many kinds of effects can be applied. 

However, but, some of the effects are not really nice. 

The best effect I would like to introduce is LOMO. 

Here is the best part, you can control the percentage of particular effect. 

Moreover, you can apply 2 or 3 effects on one photo. 

(But, putting too much effect is not recommend, it will look unnatural.)

This is your final photo.

My netbook_ASPIRE ONE

My netbook- Acer Aspire One

Personal computer is an important device for a student in university. PC enable one student to complete its assignments, presentation slides, using the learning zone to download the notes from lecturer, finding resources for relevant topics, keep contact with friends, etc.

Most of the students, they choose to use notebook, because it is portable and easy to bring anywhere. For me, I used a netbook, because the price is more affordable, and it is small and light-weighted, with only 1.25 kgs. But the screen size is only 10.1 inches, it is slightly smaller if compared with standard laptop, they are usually 14 inches. 

Actually my netbook is a second-hand laptop who bought by my brother from his friend with nearly RM 1k. When the time I was entered University, I just bring it to campus, time after time, it just belongs to me. 

My netbook is Acer Aspire One, this tiny laptop already accompanied my campus life for almost 6 semesters. I found that this brand is quite good, I used it more than 3 years, it can still function well, but the problem is it cannot process too many things at the same time. May be I have never reformat the system before. The central-processing unit is supported by Intel Atom Processor N450, it performs with speed 1.66 GHz. The random access memory is 1 GB and the storage of hard disk drive is 250 GB. 

It can still run well, I try not to put too much things in the storage. If the storage is nearly full, it will affect the performance and efficiency of my PC. Hence, I will move some of the data to my external hard disk in order my PC can perform at a normal speed. 

I am Ch'ng Yik Zhou

I came from a state that full of cultures, customs, and varieties of foods: PENANG, a state of Malaysia, located in Peninsular Malaysia.

Kek Lok Si Temple, Air Hitam, Pulau Pinang. 

I am studying at Nothern University Malaysia (UUM) located in Sintok, Kedah. Before entering the University, I heard a lot from my friends or relatives, they indicated that UUM is like a ‘jungle’ and just like a ‘Kampung’. However, but, I have to go further my study. Once I entered the campus, I felt the environment is comfortable. It just like they said a place full of trees, but it is clean and complete with many facilities.

There are many trees in UUM. Photo taken nearby the sport center. 

During my secondary school, I have less exercise and not active on sport exercise. This is change in UUM, I try to develop a sport that I really love to, eventually I decide to learn swimming. In order to save cost, I am not going for swimming class, I learn from my friends. I learned step by step. It is pretty hard to correlate all the actions. Undeniable I drank a lot of pool water, eventually I know to swim with breaststroke.
