HP Launches Write and Read 2 Program

Filipino school-going children will soon learn how to integrate the use of modern technology in making their creative school work matter with the launching of the HP Write and Read 2013 program.


HP, a global leader in technology, has launched the second phase of their Write and Read program with CNN Hero and HP Write and Read Ambassador Efren Peñaflorida, in cooperation with the Department of Education (DepEd), at the Richmonde Hotel here in Ortigas Center, Pasig City.


HP’s commitment to children’s creativity, education and holistic development made the Read and Write 2013 possible. The Write & Read program leveraged on the HP Ink Advantage printers as a tool in cultivating students’ potential and improving their creative and academic performance through affordable, reliable and high-quality prints.

HP Lanches BYOD For Today's Technology Driven Society

With the proliferation of so many technologies available to an individual nowadays, this reality is having a sweeping impact on the way we live, work and enjoy life. Aside from a desktop PC, you probably also have a laptop, a smartphone, a digital camera and a tablet or "phablet" - phone tablet - PC. I very much believe I am not alone when I say so many of us have multiple mobile devices we use in our daily routine. We simply have a communication or automation gadget or device that we do not fail to use on a single passing day.

It would be nice if I can access all that I want from my own personal device. In this day and age, the line between personal time and professional time is already very blurry. You could also say that is already a fine line separating the two. The traditional 8-to-5 working days are long gone. However, I still prefer not to lug around multiple devices. I want one device with easy access to all my contacts. I want to be able to access my information from my office cubicle or from the basketball court over the cellular network. Though some admit that they purposely limit the capabilities of a device, it is done basically to cut down on cost. However, the quality and multi-functionality of a device is sacrificed. So unless a valiant technopreneur decides to give it all out for the consumers advantage, we might still have to lug with a lot of devices.

Regardless of this situation, employees, customers and partners agree it’s time to bring your own device—BYOD.

HP Envy X2: Looks Familiar?

Hewlett-Packard’s Envy x2 is a convertible hybrid PC that aims to fulfill both your laptop and tablet needs.
HP already released a clunkier version of this 5-7 years ago. Converted in a similar way and had a terrible stylus that got stuck in it’s holder. Hope this one is more stable than the original.
