Schools around the world have been implementing new digital methods of teaching, and a Dubai based school has been no exception. At GEMS Royal Dubai School, a regular classroom features an electronic whiteboard, and various other digital devices used to implement a new digital method of teaching, including iPads, iPods and iPhones.

“It is our duty to introduce the children to the world of technology, because that is the world they will eventually be living in,” says Philip Redhead, Headmaster of the UK-curriculum based primary school. This method of teaching is supported by the Ministry of Education, which stated that the ministry “takes great interest in e-learning, which is in line with the directive of the UAE, and with what the UAE has accomplished in the field of information and communication technology”.

This non-traditional method of teaching has faced some criticism, but has been well received by the student body.

Today, Apple and the rest of the world have lost a visionary and a genius, Steve Jobs, the mastermind behind the Macintosh, iPhone, iPad, iPod iTunes and more. In recent years he mixed huge business success with personal turmoil, including surviving a liver transplant in 2009, after battling pancreatic cancer in 2004. "There may be no greater tribute to Steve's success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented," Obama said.

"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."

Steve Jobs, the Apple founder and CEO who died today after a long battle with illness, said those words in 2005 after beating back an unusual form of pancreatic cancer.

Among many inspiring statements he has made about his life's lessons, one stands out on the day of his death:

"No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true."

Apple has finally unveiled its new iPhone and it's not an all-new iPhone 5, but an upgraded version of the iPhone 4, which despite being a significant improvement resembles a bit of a disappointment to Apple fans. In fact, Apple's share price actually dropped following the iPhone launch event.

iPhone 4S is faster and smarter. It has a better camera, with 8 megapixels, and much better voice recognition. But as Apple CEO Tim Cook admitted, it's an iPhone 4 with more advanced features.

So, it isn’t the new, iconic, must-have device that a redesigned iPhone 5 would have been.
