A Smart Phone, The Smartphone

     At the happiest times or the most boring, who do you have? Think about it. Of all the places including the comfort room, of all times especially before you sleep and as you wake up, who's the first of all the firsts to ring you to life? Without your mom, who's there to help you out find your sock? Who's there to show you how to cook? Who? If no one, then "what?" What do you have with you? Your little smartpants twinkling and beeping in your pocket? If so, put that smartphone up and say "you know me very well, bud" and ask how well do you know it.
     How well?
     There are generations of mobile phones to pass the earth. From those bulky phones to the portable with antennae and non, we now have these portable computers at hand which we call smartphones. Such phones are just like any other mobile phones - you can still make calls and messages. But you can access to the internet, send and receive emails, and download apps and games; thus, making them 'smart' phones.
     Hand in hand, you and your phone go through the puzzle of life. Anywhere, anyhow, whenever, whatever, you've gotten it behind you, so does it, it has gotten you. But do you know what your smartphone is capable of other than being a company? Do you know how does it work? We can check on it and better yet, you'll learn your buddy's weak points and strengths.
 Size
Other than easier to carry, small phones aren't demanding for a bigger power. But the drawback of having a device that can easily fit into your pocket, well, is that some things have a hard time fitting inside. On the other hand, though large phones aren't that portable and battery saving, they are handy for a lot of things: browsing, watching videos, playing games, and being productive on the phone. This is because it can be easier to read and more can fit onto the screen.
Processor
The brain of your device. Count the number of cores and check the clock speed of the device. If you've got a smartphone that doesn't have multiple cores, well, you have an old buddy right there. The number of cores will tell you how many parts of the processor can run at the listed clock speed. If your clock speed is listed in megahertz (MHz), that's way too slow - that's why phone lags - to handle. Most quality cores run with speeds listed in gigahertz (GHz).
Memory
Read-Only Memory and Random Access Memory are both vital parts of computer devices and are no exception in a smartphone; they also play a large role in the brain analogy. Both store information. ROM or internal storage stores the most important information such as files, apps, etc. RAM is special for storing a lot more information and stores data on programs currently running or that the device expects will be needed soon. It is essentially your device's multitasking memory. It makes apps run and the operating system i.e android or iOS; the bigger RAM, the smoother the run.
External Storage
Simply, this is the slot where you can increase the amount of storage in your device if it has a low internal storage.
Network
What carrier do you use? Sim card, I mean. Clearly, this is for the consideration you location. You better use a sim card which is supported by a cell site nearby. It offers a high data speed, if and only if, you've got a phone with a band of 3G, HSPDA, or 4G. GPRS and EDGE are way too old, so they are slow.
Operating System
Running an Apple's iOS depicts a no tech-savvy user. No hard feelings! The software has simplicity on its side. Also, it is pretty uniform across iOS running devices, so only another person with iOS can help you out with ease. Despite its restrictive ecosystem, iOS (iPhone operating system) is built with better resources. That's why it's not that cheap.
Though there's nothing about Android that makes it unacceptable for less tech-savvy users, it can be a bit more complicated. Yea, the edge! Android can be made to work a lot of different ways - from costumizing to modifying.
Windows Phone has been credited with a smooth and styling interface, though not something for which previous experience on the Windows PC OS comes in handy. To the fashion-savvy!
Screens
Disregarding the hardness of your phone's face, let's check how could it handle with your touch. Is it capacitive, resistive, or multitouch? Capacitive touchscreen is way cheaper that it pays you back the trouble of functioning down the line. Put some more pressure right there! Resistive, on the other hand, is the most common and reacts simply from conductive elements, whether light touches or otherwise. And multitouch offers a lot more in the way of interacting with the device, especially when playing HD games. In terms of the quality of the screen, check the pixel density. The more pixels that fit in a inch long line, the sharper images can be and the better display. Four hundred ppi is the topping pixel density, but 200-300 will do.
Connections and Sensors
Knowing what they are and what they doo will help you decide those you want and which you can live without. Here:
Wi-Fi: Teehee, it's the greatest to have for connecting with the internet as you can save big time on your mobile date limits with your carrier. How about Wi-Fi hotspot? If your phone features such, you can your smartphone to connect other devices to the internet using your mobile data connection.
Bluetooth: No problem on this. It allows for various connections to things like speakers, headphones, and microphones. It's also battery friendly.
Infrared: This is cool to have! Losing your TV remote control would never be a bad day again if you've got your infrared-ready phone. It can double as a remote control.
USB: If your phone is supported with this, then it will be easier for you to sych your files to the PC.
Components
How efficient is your buddy? Does it have a GPS to map and navigate places, an accelerometor and gyroscope to detect the movements of phone, a compass to guide your way, a proximity sensor to manage your tapping? If your phone has these, well, then that's a cool buddy to have!

Schema: The Gear of Reading Teaching

The human mind is like the mechanical labyrinth, moving continuously until human himself could figure out what it is for. It's somewhat like a machine, processing, doing what it primarily does all over again unless it's been upgraded by the maker. After the machine is rebuilt-up for its new production skill, it goes better just like the reader who keeps on reading and building his mind's capacity.

The more knowledge is been stored to a reader's brain, the more competent will he be in identifying, comprehending, and applying his knowing with any possible happenings. The stored knowledge is called prior knowledge, but whenever it's organized in structure, it is schema which helps the reader to understand and respond to a topic familiar to him. Schema or schemata in its plurality are some kind of form, plan or outline which could give support, stand or basis to a reader's future encounter with certain concepts. It's where new information is processed accordingly. Schemata form independently by virtue of the contents each schema contains; they enable readers to communicate when necessary; according to Bartlett, they are active organization of past reactions of past experience, which must always be supposed to be operation in any well-adapted organic response, and are of great importance regarding the knowledge background and schema for text comprehension which is stated and stressed in his Schema Theory and in Reading Teaching.

Schema Theory. It was proposed by Bartlett who explains how this theory-- background knowledge-- could be best associated with language comprehension. It proposes, too, that a reader possesses different conceptual frameworks which he brings to the reading of a text and which he uses to make sense of what he reads.

Reading Teaching. Since English teaching reading isn't only teaching language but also culture, therefore, it is worthwhile to study practical methods of effective reading teaching. Here, teacher should provide as much background knowledge as possible for the reader to help him familiarize himself with appropriate schemata utilizing his comprehension through various methods or activities-- accumulation, activation, and construction of the reader's schemata.

Concerning reading, schema theory seems reasonable to be of enormous significance to it. Schemata give correct comprehension of the right information the reader has, and this makes him possible to interpret the world. Seemingly, schema is the driving force towards reading comprehension.

Until the labyrinth is been maze out, the adventurer finds success. Just like the process of comprehension, the reader is said to be successful if he gets to understand and respond to the newly or not read information, puzzling to fit in along with the prior knowledge, which the teacher or whoever gives to become a schema soon.
