OLR: Exercise 1 – Topic 7

 The two devices that I have used alot recently are the Internet Phone and the Joystick.

Joystick

This input device allows me to interact alot more effectivly with certain games such as flight simulators easier taking control better and improving interaction with the software. A noteable example of this is in the game Battlefield 2 where I commonly switch from keyboard and mouse to joystick when entering aircraft in the game. This joystick allows for better control and precision when interacting with the ingame vehicles.

Internet Phone

I recently started using Skype alot to talk to a company overseas that I have my webserver. This device, that I was able to borrow from someone at work allows me to use skype like an ordinary cordless telephone. It means that I can walk around the house and use the service like I would a normal phone. This allows me to not be tethered to the computer when making calls.
