MicroCenter Vs. Banggood

 

    Originally, I planned to complete the good/bad website smackdown for two clothing websites: Nike and Shein. I had to choose an alternative website since Shein was already selected, so I turned to two technology websites: Micro Center and Banggood. Banggood is more akin to Temu/AliExpress than a sole technology store like Micro Center, but as I browsed the site, I noticed that most of the items they sell are technology-related. 

At first glance, you can 100% tell which website is the good one and the bad one. Banggood is cluttered and hard to navigate, and Microcenter is cleaner and easier to navigate. Even though there are categories on Banggood’s website, the items within those categories are extremely vague, making it difficult to find something you may need. On the other hand, Microcenter has specific categories within its website that allow you to find exactly what you are looking for. As someone who has had an interest in computer building, trying to find parts on Banggood's website would be an extremely tedious task. Microcenter has a PC building feature that lets users find parts and add everything they need to build a system, all on one page. Overall, these two websites make it obvious which one is good and which one is not.

Google Calendar App Smackdown

Image
     Google Calendar is a tool I have used extensively over the years in various aspects of my life. I was introduced to it before coming to Stockton, and I used it occasionally to remind myself when certain things were happening. I have now mastered this app in a way that fits my own needs and organizational methods.       A good way to keep this app accessible to my eye at all times is to set it as a widget on my devices. I have a widget set on my phone lock screen with upcoming events, so I know how to prepare for what is to come next. I also have a widget on my home screen on my iPad that allows me to add new events if I am taking notes in class.       This app is extremely customizable in the sense that anyone can use it to their own expense. This app can be used for upcoming events, meetings, or it can even be used to see when free time is acceptable to do something enriching. I talk in my presentation linked down below about ...

Webtool Smackdown #2: OneNote

Image
     For my second webtool smackdown, I chose to talk about the website/app called OneNote. This Tool is made by Microsoft, and it is essentially a virtual notebook. I have used this tool on and off since my sophomore year of high school, right before COVID started. I began to use it specifically in my chemistry class, which allowed us to have all of our notes and worksheets virtually. We used this application with one of the main reasons that you are able to write on documents like a notebook, and since at the time we had a Lenovo with styluses, we were able to flip our laptops and write in OneNote like it was pen and paper.      The OneNote skills I learned from that class I have taken with me ever since, all the way to my senior year in college. One of the main features I use it for now is uploading PDFs into it, and highlighting on the PDF, as if it were a physical book/ article. That feature also allows me to easily annotate any notes I have on the sid...
