Answer 1

a) Smart Watches:

Technology has become so vast where we can wear computers.Yes, we heard right we are wearing mini computers called smartwatchs .

Smartwatches are the wearable devices that closely acts as wrist watches and as mini-computers. It provides lot of features apart from time keeping . Smartwatches can be connected to smartphones for their extended functionality , they are sometimes used as accessories for smart phones or laptops via connecting with bluetooth and wifi.And yeah, smartwatches are also capable of calling nowadays.They have become an important tool in everyone's day to day life .

Features that a smartwatch could serve:

- Health mointoring:

Many smartwatches are used as health monitors and fitness trackers nowadays which actually makes smartwatches stand out . Because every human needs to know their health condition at different phases so this feature is a must for every smart watch .

some examples of this are:

--> Blood pressure monitors

--> Heart rate monitors

--> Physical activity monitors

- Calling features:

As it is not possible to carry our phones everywhere like for jogging we can't take it along with us . A smartwatch comes with a feature of calling in many ways :

--> If a smart watch has cellular connection capabilities than without using any other devices we can call like we do in our smart phones .

--> Otherwise we can connect it with bluetooth devices and use it for calling .

- Time related features:

After all it is a watch which should function for time related options . So , the smartwatch comes with times related operations like alarms and stopwatches . These can be used in the fitness related activities for the users .

- Notification features:

Smartwatches can show notifications in different ways . If they have cellular network capabilties then they themselves can maintain notifications or they can be connected to a device via bluetooth and have their notifications .

So, smartwatches are the gadgets which can be used in several ways apart from timing features . The main feature one could use smart watches are because of their health monitoring features .

b) As smith wants a device for illustrations and to teach students online it would be better if he uses a laptop/desktop because:

- Laptop/desktop gives a larger screen experience which he might feel comfortable while delivering the classes to his students rather than a smaller screen on phone .

- For drawing and illustrations we all know that the screen should be big and compatible enough to render all those illustrations , drawings and it would be easy if the screen is large enoght to draw easily .

- Laptops/ desktops are versatile and very responsive for drawings.As drawings may include graphics some laptops/desktops provide graphic cards which would really help smith and he would love it as it becomes more realistic .

- The online tution lectures , drawings and illustrations will need more space in the device which will be available in computer/desktop more than a phone or a tablet .

- Laptop/desktops have more computation and presentation abilities which enhance illustration and tution capabilities

- In laptop/desktops we can do multitasking easily .

As we have discussed about the device that he can use, now coming into which company device would be more suitable :

In my opinion it would be better if he use MAC computers if he is financially stable because they have a great user interface which could be helpfull for him while drawing , illustrating and delivering high quality lectures .

It 's totally fine if he could not go for MAC computers as nowadays other companies are providing laptops/desktops with high end features like graphic card at low cost compared to MAC .

At the end it will be helpfull if he buys a laptop/desktop with a graphic card , good ROM capacity , good RAM capacity and a device which has a great user interface to use .

c) As Smith's Pc has become slow there could be several reasons for it . Some of the reasons are as follows :  

- As he is using the PC for drawing and illustration purposes the PC needs a graphic card to function smoothly which is absent in his PC's specification

- As viruses attack Pc's and more often viruses are the major reason for PC's getting slow down. Any virus might have attacked his computer/desktop unknowingly .

- As he delivers online lectures and the online lecture videos occupy more space his Pc might have ran out of disk drive space(HDD) which results in the PC getting slow down .

- He might have not downloaded the latest updates for his PC which also results in slowing down of PC .

- His Pc might have ran out of Random access memory which results in the PC getting slow down .

These are some of the reasons for his Pc getting slow down .

Now,let us discuss the solutions for the problems he might be facing for his PC .

- It would be good if he adds a graphic card to his Pc which may improve the speed of the PC .

- He should download an antivirus software which may detect the virus in his Pc and after detecting he can remove the virus from his PC .

- He may add disk drive space(HDD) and see the difference in working of his Pc .

- He should download the latest updates of his PC so that it may work properly . In some cases when we download the latest updates the computer works properly with advance features .

After doing all these if still he faces the same problem with his Pc he might then approach an computer engineer for help and get the problem solved.:)
