Alternative High School

Essay 2011. 8. 4. 15:44

Date: 5/12/2008

Many experts, governors, and politicians are focusing on how they make the maladjusted students stay in school to study. One of their programs is the alternative high school. They expect that if parents send the maladjusted students to alternative high schools, they will study hard. Can it be so? Do this kinds of students really want to study? I don’t think that the reason they don’t study is that they don’t like their school or the present educational system. Therefore, I raise a question the effectiveness of alternative high school.

According to Gay, “At-risk students are described as discouraged learners, those who for whatever reason do not achieve in the standard high school program. Poor attendance, habitual truancy, academic lags,and teenage parenthood-these are the causes of what the federal definition specifies as school drop-outs, from 9th to 12th grade. Over 25% of American youth fit that description” (2000). The important thing is habitual truancy. The meaning of habitual truancy is that they don’t want to study and attend at school anymore. Nevertheless, if the parents send them to an alternative high school, do they study and attend there? The experts have to focus not on alternative schools, but on making them to study of their own accord.

If so, how do we make them study and attend school? Indeed, this is the experts’ duty. So regarding my opinion, studying and attending at school are positively necessaries for life of every person. Parents have to inform them that we are not primitive men, but intellectual men. We are not living in the jungle. To live in the city with many people without bother, we have to be educated, cultured, and grounded. In conclusion, before we can focus on alternative schools, we need to think how we make students study and attend school.

Digital Divide

Essay 2011. 8. 4. 15:38

Date: 5/11/2008

These day, most people have at least one or more digital devices like a cell phone. Young people usually have three or more devices. Cell phone, MP3 player, laptop computer have been necessary items even for older people. Adults, who need a lot of information for their job, can tell from something whether that is wrong or not. However, our children accept everything without distinguish, and they believe that their found is right before somebody says that is wrong. Children can look for everything they want to know from internet and every children might have same thoughts one another. Every children see same information on the internet. They have been losing their personality and originality. Therefore, we need to change educational system or way in order to get back originality and personality for our children.

A lot of school have purchased laptop and desktop computers to reduce gap between rich and poor children. The program of Kansas high school has definitely been successful and many school is tying to start a kind of program in order to make equal opportunity to an education. However, as a result, most children have same opinions and solution of questions. Now, the internet is not an ocean of information any more. It’s the cramming system of the cyber school. Indeed, we can not stop to develop and make digital devices because we can not live without these things anymore. Besides, it can not be solved that restricts within purchasing of children Therefore, experts have to suggest way that can revive their originality and personality with out remove the digital devices.

In the closed future, we will have devices more than now and children too. Reducing the gap between rich and poor people is still serious subject of many countries but, as reducing it, we need to accept the consequence of sode effect. In South Korea, there are many web site about homework database of student. Children don’t have to worry about their difficult homework. They an just copy solutions and correct answers. Now most Korean children have been losing their originality. I think, the future of our children is our mission for our better future and life.

Equal opportunity to an education

Essay 2011. 8. 4. 15:36
Name: Seowon Jung
Class: ESL100
Date: 5/11/2008

The world has changed. In the past, people studied at school with only pen and paper to prepare them to work in places like factories. These days, there are a lot of digital devices in the world and everybody has one of them, even children. Children have access to the internet and can search for any information they need. In the digital world, they have lost interest in study, homework, and social activities. Therefore, now teachers need to change their teaching style.

The videos advise teachers to try to use digital devices in order to make studying interesting for their students. The video tried to convince some old hat teachers that a lot of children use google and youtube at home. Children might be already learning what teachers don’t teach at school. Therefore, some children would think that homework is unuseful or useful in the far future. However, as teachers can engage their students with digital devices, it could make study interesting not only at school but also at home. In addition to, it can produce good results like reducing the dropping out rate.

However, children of low-income families, who don’t have computers nor any digital devices, can join those who have digital devices? Children from low- income families might not attend school to avoid showing that they are kind of poor people with open doors. On this point, a gap occurs between rich and poor children. Poor children don’t have computers at home so, they don’t know how to surf the web and search for information they need. Obviously, they avoid studying more and more, and they drop out from school. In the past, society was divided into three groups: king, nobilities and common people. These days, devices have divided children into two parts haves and have-nots and eventually, it results in the increase of the dropout rate before graduation.

Some school like Kansas high school has tried to reduce a gap between rich and poor students through free laptop program. I strongly agree that this program can bring very positive effect and reduce the dropout rate but, this program is not a complete solution. Someone has to spend a lot of money, which the government has been doing. However, what if the government buys an iPod for every poor children? Is it a perfect solution? Absolutely not. Because, nobody knows who is poor or not. Moreover, even the base line of poorness is neither one thing nor the other.

In conclusion, digital devices have helped to increase the dropout rate of students. I think it’s not household matters and, moreover, one person can not solve this problem. Therefore, the government nationally needs to try to solve this problem. For example, the government buys digital devices at lower prices then, they can give it to poor children, who are honor students, as a scholarship. Through this program, I believe that the student will compete and be stimulated by how many points they have to earn to get digital devices. Furthermore, this kind of scholarship has to be awarded to eligible students who must be poor children.

Innovative trends

Essay 2011. 8. 4. 15:33

Name: Seowon Jung
Class: ESL100
Date: 5/11/2008

A lot of high school in the U.S has tried to increase the rate of graduation for many years. One of the high school, Mapleton School near Denver, had a dropout rate of more than 50%. The superintendent for this school, whose name is Charlotte Ciancio, decided the entire student system needed a shakeup and school started to change after she came back there.
 

The Mapleton School needed innovative something and Charlotte knew that had to change. She has reorganized every school, creating 17 distinct programs. They are as different as schools can be. Besides, Welby New Tech, with 286 student has computers everywhere for their student, who want to learn on their own, in the building and classrooms are large to permit team teaching.
 

Even though Mapleton has tried to offer a broad menu of school experiences, its system is under the assumption that families will take advantage of the variety offered. Actually, the assumption is everywhere, which has been successful of innovative changes, by the executives level. Basically, instinct of human about power has no limit and there is a lot of people who want to take advantage as a friendship. The innovation has an effect on many students and their parents. However, if the superintendents lose their original intention or purpose, the result of their efforts will be burst like a bubble.

Head Start

Essay 2011. 8. 4. 15:31
Name: Seowon Jung
Class: ESL100
Date: 5/11/2008


I. Introduction

In the past, the only way of success in life for the common people was studying hard and parents were busy taking care of their children. If their children entered a castle that the king lived in, they worked in a bureaucratic ministry as an officer with a lot of followers and eventually, many children as well as parents thought that success in life was working in the castle. For this reason, the parents were hard put to it and supported their children. However, everybody was not able to focus on studying and supporting. Some people, who had to work for their family to support as a breadwinner, had to give up studying or didn’t want their children to study something. In contrast, these days every child can be educated through high school without any charged tuition. Nevertheless, there are some children who are not able to go to school this day for the same reason as in the past.

For these reasons, the government of many countries have considered some program to help the children from low-income families. The U.S Department of Health and Human Services has put in operation a program that focuses on assisting children from low-income families. This program is called Head Start. Head Start is a federal program that has provided comprehensive early childhood development services to low-income children since 1965. Services provided to preschool-aged children include child development, educational, health, nutritional, social and other activities, intended to prepare low-income children to enter kindergarten. Overall, Head Start is already successful in giving poor children an advantage when they go to school. Besides, Head Start shows today that a Head Start program of the 1970s helped participating young children achieve greater school success and avoid crime as they grew up. Hawaii also has 125 programs of Head Start that offer a wide variety of services.

Now, Head Start is evaluated one of most successful program for children of low-income families in the US. Experts have studied long-term effects of it to prove that it has been successful program and they have found a positive impact on pre-reading skills, pre-writing skills, vocabularies knowledge, oral comprehension and phonological awareness; and early math skills; and the overall cognitive development of children. Research shows that Head Start has restricted the educational achievement gap between low and high-income children; increased high school graduation rates and reduced crime. Head Start serves only half of eligible 3 and 4 years old children. Increased investments in Head Start would make it even stronger by raising teacher qualifications, enhancing curriculum standards, expanding parent coaching, and introducing interventions for children with behavioral problems. The US should invest more in Head Start to save taxpayers’ money and save lives. Under the current law, funds for Head Start go directly from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to children from low-income families. President Bush has proposed to give states the option of controlling Head Start funds and combine the Head Start program with other pre- school programs. In order to obtain control of Head Start funds, states would have to present a plan that, among other requirements, shows how they would prepare poor children to succeed in the public schools. Despite its many successes, Head Start is getting wrapped in dark clouds.


II. Issues

Head Start has come under attack over the years. Several studies have indicated that initial gains made by Head Start children on intelligence tests are not sustained (Jacques, 2001). According to Krista (2004), "When you look at where Head Start has been in the last few years, they've been bending over backwards to avoid literacy skills.” Some of Head Start teachers guess wrong that young children are ready to learn preliteracy, premath and other school readiness skills even though the program is appropriate whether or no for young children due to lack of responsibility of the some of Head Start teachers. However, children, who are a little wanting some what weak in the head, begin to neglect studying and eventually, they are being contrary to teacher’s expectations. Moreover, the qualifications of its teaching staff are questionable and its long-term effects on the social and educational outcomes of participating children are unclear. Nevertheless, I strongly believe that Head Start is the most successful of the great society programs because the advantages of Head Start far outweigh the disadvantages.

An another issue is that while some politicians have set their sights on Head Start, a lot of children from low-income families still don’t have the benefit of a strong pre-school education experience. According to Helen, “Recorded by researchers and lived by families, Head Start's future is now uncertain as policy- makers debate a Bush-administration proposal that could effectively dismantle the cherished program. This debate badly misses the mark.”. Besides, Head Start teacher still earns roughly half the payment of a kindergarten teacher. On the other hand, the discussion in Washington focuses on moving the management of Head Start from the federal government to the states and restricting the services of program. Moreover, according to Isabel, “the effects of Head Start are not as clear. After nearly forty years of operation, there is not a national random-assignment evaluation of the long-term impacts of Head Start. (2003)”

Today, many families are eligible for several early-childhood programs like
child are, pre-K and Head Start. A lot of children are still not served due to the lack of funding. However, given these weak points, better coordination of the resources that we have is essential to help children get a strong early-learning experience and to help parents work. For example, if Head Start offers a full-day, over 8 hours, or flexible child care program, the program will be able to help working families to extend their working-hours. Besides, if teachers of Head Start establish a fund for them, new funding for Head Start teachers will be able to help them to compensate enough so that they stay with Head Start. Both child care and pre-school education are important. Child care is essential to enable both single and married mothers and fathers to work. Moreover, the reasons why pre-school education programs are important is that they help to prepare children from low-income families for school. Since 1960s, when President Lyndon B. johnson initiated the War on Poverty, a major goal of federal policy has been to improve the educational achievement of poor children. However, now almost forty years later, despite the expenditure of billions of dollars on programs for poor pre-school children, as a recent study of experts shows that the school readiness gap between poor and rich children exists (Isabel, 2003).


III. Impacts

Head Start was launched in 1965, serving over 560,000 children and families. American Indian and Alaska Native Head Start Programs also began in 1965 with 43 grantees in 14 states (GOPB, 2007).At first, Head Start was an eight- week summer program staffed by thousands of volunteers from across the nation. According to PHSA “Many summer programs became nine-month, half-day programs in the first few years, and Head Start moved to the Office of Child Development in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. (These offices were later renamed the Administration on Children, Youth and Families within the Department of Health and Human Services.) An effort to move the program to the Department of Education was actively opposed by Head Start supporters in the 1970s and in 2004; both times the move failed.”

Head Start’s goal has been to boost the school readiness of low-income children. Based on a “whole child” model, the program provides comprehensive services that include preschool education; medical, dental, and mental health care; nutrition services; and efforts to help parents foster their child’s development (HHS, 2005). Many people have paid a lot of taxes and some of taxes have been used for Head Start. Therefore, many people including the President have wondered what has happened to children and their families so far. Experts and the government have found a positive impact on pre-reading skills, pre-writing skills, vocabulary knowledge, oral comprehension and phonological awareness, and early math skills and the overall cognitive development of children. Experts have studied the long-term impact of Head Start. A long-term study shows that a Head Start program of the 1970s helped participating young children achieve greater school success and avoid crime as they grew up. According to High Scope, “the study found evidence of important effects on school success and crime. For females at one study site after adjusting for background differences, only about one-fourth as many Head Start participants as non-participants (5% versus 19%) failed to obtain a high school or GED diploma, and only on-third as many (5% versus 15%) were arrested for crimes (High Scope, 2003).”

Head Start restricted the school readiness gap between low-income children and high-income children. A study with a nationally representative sample of 2800 children showed that Head Start significantly raised average scores of children’s performance (Zill,N.et al. 2003). Moreover, the largest gains were made by the lower-performing children, especially vocabulary test scores by the end of kindergarten. In addition to improved school readiness, Head Start graduates have also been shown to have lower crime rates as adults. In a large national survey, Head Start graduates were 8.5 percent less likely to be later arrested or charged with a crime than their siblings who attended other preschool program.

After careful review of major Head Start studies, early education experts have determined that the positive educational effects of Head Start are long lasting on a broad range of real-world outcomes like high school graduation, grade retention, and special education placement (Barnett,W.S, 2002). Some studies of Head Start initially suggested that the program’s effect on school achievement faded out over time, but these early studies were defective.

According to Campbell,S.B (2000), “60 percent of young children with elevated levels of aggressive behaviors will manifest high levels of anti-social and delinquent.” Head Start addresses this problem by giving services to help the social, emotional and behavior development of children. For example, some program, which is called The Incredible Years program, provided by Head Start centers trains parent, teachers and family to be strengthen problem-solving skills and non-aggressive social skills in children. In The Incredible Years program 96 percent showed a substantial reduction in aggressive behavior compared to 56 percent of children in The Incredible Years Program (Hammond,M.2001).

Early Head Start is a proven program that extends the benefits of Head Start to children under three. Families assigned to receive the combined center visit approach were 62 percent more likely to read to their children daily than families who didn’t receive the program.


IV. Conclusion

Despite a proverb “The poverty is incurable beyond cure.”, I strongly believe that Head Start is the most one of successful program in the U.S for low-income families. In case of my country, although politicians would make many programs and welfare policies, getting benefits from its program is not easy for every real poor people. Because, programs from politicians are usually not unrealizable for real poor people in actuality. Moreover, middle-class Koreans want to be qualified and benefited from many programs for poor people even though they are not poor. As a result, rich people become even more rich, poor people become even more poor. Indeed, despite born poor, they can overcome their poverty through industry and thrift but, there is nothing so hard to bear as poverty. I think that this point is cause that people give up an education of their children.

However, in my opinion, we have missed an important point. Experts have studied short-term and long-term effect regarding how many points they can earn. What I’m concerned is long-term effect regarding sentiment caused discrimination of the gap between rich and poor among the children at school. If rich children see some children at the class of Head Start, poor children can be exposed to the ridicule of the public because they are poor. We have heard the saying: “Poverty is no sin.” However, these day, it’s wrong. Poverty is the mother of crime.

Indeed, I don’t think that Head Start is not a direct solution to reduce the gap between rich and poor. It’s just an one of educational program for children. The qualified children is merely different from ordinary families. Therefore, if Head Start has been a program for poor children, we have to make an another program for rich children to change their understanding Head Start program. Also Head Start can not solve the problem of a desire to possess digital devices. I think that this problem is eternal question that the democratic government have to solve it.

In conclusion, Head Start have definitely reduce the gap between rich and poor; and there has been a controversy on it. However, I think we don’t have to worry about it. Because clouds always follow the sunshine and I expect that a kind of this controversy will improve a quality of Head Start. Eventually, Head Start will be a model of welfare policies for many developing countries.

The LGBT people are made by their parents

Essay 2011. 8. 4. 15:25
Name: Seowon Jung
Class: ESL100
Date: 5/12/2008

One of famous entertainer got married to another entertainer last year in Korea. Their wedding ceremony became a topic of conversation because the bride was a transgender and the reaction of the masses ran to extremes. She, who was a male, getting married to a real man was unacceptable for Korean people and against popular sentiment. However, transgender: gay, lesbian and bisexual are not unfamiliar words anymore. Therefore, we are going to have to be concerned about them.

The National Education Association (NEA) adopted a resolution to start to respect diversity of student and support equal opportunity for student and staff regardless of sexual orientation. They not have only rights to an education with ordinary people but also have human rights. Homosexual love has been a topic of contempt and taboo in most countries but, a couple of countries accept it. However, St. Paul criticized homosexuality in the Bible because, homosexuality is an avaricious sex act unconcerned with the propagation of a race. Therefore, homosexual love was treated as a sin or criminal act against of the Commandment and society. I strongly believe that the homosexual love is kind of an antisocial action. Because I think that homosexuality is the result of a home environment and education from their parents. For example, suppose someone wanted to have a daughter but, his wife bore a boy. To comfort himself for not having a daughter, he will bring up his son as if he is a girl. If so, his son will think that he is basically a woman in the body of a man.

Regardless of my views, the National Education Association believes that every school district should provide counseling by trained personnel for students who are struggling with their sexual/gender orientation. Indeed, I agree counseling is a positive direction because counseling can reduce prejudice and discrimination between LGBT people and non-LGBT people. Eventually, they will be close to each other slowly. The most important thing is what we need are concern and encouragement regarding the LGBT people.

As I have mentioned, the LGBT people are the result of the influences of their parents. Some people advocates that their sex was switched before they were born, but I believe that character, personality, and sex-identification are acquired. Therefore, we have to enlighten the parents not to make their children gay. For example, if their sons and daughters have a propensity to be a girlish and boyish, the parents can reform them to think that they are the opposite sex.

However, for the rest of the people, who are unenlightened LGBT people, we have to take care of them. In my opinion, educator can make and operate special classrooms for only LGBT people such as coeducation classrooms. They could be happy or feel relieved feeling in that classrooms among the LGBT people. In conclusion, antisocial action is a kind of social phenomenon. Now, we should accept this social phenomenon and be ready for diversity of human identification.

Single-Sex Education

Essay 2011. 8. 4. 15:23
Name: Seowon Jung
Class: ESL100
Date: 5/12/2008

North-Eastern Asian countries have been affected by Confucian ideas. In South Korea, there is a sentence so far that when boys and girls become 7 years old, they can’t sit together. Moreover, approximately 500 years ago, women were not able to show any portion their skin except her face, hands, and feet. So, there are a lot of single-sex middle and high schools in S.Korea and Koreans are familiar attending single-sex schools, meetings, and military service. Someone, who wants to meet and talk to the opposite sex, would attend church. In contrast, western civilization has been magnanimous to sex and the educational experts have started to raise a question regarding the effects of this magnanimity.

According to The Australian Council for Educational Research, both boys and girls who were educated in single-sex classrooms scored on average 15 to 22 percentile ranks higher than did boys and girls in coeducational settings (2000). As boys and girls are in single-sex classrooms, they lose interest in the opposite sex and concentrate on studying and their duties. For example, many high school students in S.Korea study hard in order to meet the opposite sex because, almost all of the universities are coeducational.

Moreover, the sex crime rate can also be reduced through single-sex classroom because, while they are at school, people who they meet are all the same sex. Thus, they will lose interest in the opposite sex.

However, boys and girls in their adolescence can have some problem that we wouldn’t expect. By separating genders in school, the adult might be able to think that students will not cause some sexual incidents, but I think that they would have a greater interest in the opposite sex than a reductionist interest in the opposite sex due to curiosity. Moreover, they might have misinformation about the opposite sex. Indeed, through sex education in school, teachers can prevent sexual incidents of students but, if teachers try to restrict students desires more and more, students will have more curiosity.

These days, the experts are studying only about how the students can make higher test scores than before. Of course, young people are our hope and future of our countries. However, before we worry about how many more points they can earn, we have to make them become decent people. The percentage of low-educated people who are criminals is higher than highly educated people but, the highly educated people can be criminals, too. Therefore, the government decides to separate students from a coeducational system, the politician have to consider what the effects of single-sex education. As I mentioned, young people are the pillar of the state.

Sensitive Training

Essay 2011. 8. 4. 15:21
Name: Seowon Jung
Class: ESL100
Date: 5/12/2008

The government of many countries have continuously tried to invest a lot of money in bringing up heros. Therefore, many people emphasize that young children are the future of our country and many experts are concerned with improving education and, the educational system appropriate to each grade level. Despite the efforts of the experts, there is a gap between the rich and poor children.    
 
According to Proctor & Dalaker (2002), 27% of Hispanic and 30% of black children are living in poverty but only 13% white children are living in poverty. These children from low-income families attend inner-city schools and some of their teachers are not certified. As results, the achievement gap between white and black and latino children has increased and racial bias has appeared in classrooms. To solve this problem, teachers in California have to take racial sensitivity training and many people believe that this program will reduce the achievement gap.
 
However, in my opinion, the reason why the achievement gap has appeared is the responsibility of parents. If black or Latino children really wanted to study, does the school environment in inner-city school matter? I think parents have to be concerned with the assignment or studying of children and push children to study and do homework. Eventually, children will come to think that study and homework is what they must do. Therefore, the experts and politicians should try to reduce the gap by enlightening the parents if the parents never want their sons and daughter to live in poverty like them. In addition, teachers regularly need to talk with the parents and emphasize that studying, doing the assignments and attending school are positively necessary till their children graduate from high school. Politicians must absorb informed of this.

아이폰, 안드로이드

그 외 2011. 6. 13. 21:14
애플포럼에 쓴 글이다.
쓰다보니 길게 쓰게되서 내 생각을 블로그에 올려야겠단 생각이 들었다.
애플포럼에는 워낙 고수분들이 많고 자정정화력이 상당한 곳이기 때문에 최대한 주의하면서 썼다.


제가 애포에 낄만한 수준이 좀 안되서 그동안 눈팅만 하고있었습니다.
근데 안드로이드폰과의 비교글이라 한 말씀 올려보려 합니다.

1996년도에 리눅스를 처음 접한 뒤 그동안 리눅스만이 최고라고 생각하며 M$ 타도를 외치며 살아오다 2007년도에 처음으로 맥을 구입했습니다. 그뒤로 맥OSX에 완전히 반해버리고 지금껏 사서모은 애플제품들이 제 분수에 맞지않게 어마어마합니다.
아이맥, 맥북 흰둥이, 맥북프로, 맥미니서버, 아이폰 2G, 아이폰 3G, 아이폰 4, 아이패드, 아이팟 클래식, 에어포트 익스트림... 맥북에어, 맥프로, 시네마 디스플레이만 사면 종류별로 하나씩은 다 있는 것 같은 생각이 듭니다. 액세서리들은... 말 안해도 다들 있으시죠? ㅎㅎ

아이폰이 처음 등장하면서 현재 2G라고 불리우는 알루미늄의 둥글둥글한 아이폰으로 시작했습니다. 그때도 무지 예뻤는데요, 지금봐도 개인적으로 예쁘다고 생각합니다. 그렇게 이것저것 여러 앱들을 받다보니 부족함을 느끼고 Jailbreak도 했고 Installous니 뭐니 하는 것들을 깔아가면서 수십 수백개의 어플들, 그리고 테마들을 적용시켜가면서 재밌게 썼었습니다. 그때까지는 앱을 돈주고 산다는 일에 대해서는 조금도 고려하지 않았었죠.

그러다 점차, 매번 펌웨어가 나오면서 이것들을 다시 또 Jailbreak해야되고 하는 과정들이 너무 힘들어지면서, 차라리 이걸 알아보고 투자하고 스트레스 받는 시간에 그냥 앱을 돈주고 구입해서 편하게 쓰는 게 낫겠다는 생각이 들기 시작했습니다. 앱이 하나에 $20, $30씩 하는 것도 아닌데 $1, $2짜리 10개 사봐야 얼마 안되는 돈, 차라리 매달 일정하게 구입하는 책이나 음악씨디 같은 거라고 생각하자 하고 구입을 마음 먹었죠. 그런데 이미 늦었더라구요. 아이폰2G는 성능이 모자란 것이었습니다. 펌웨어가 3.1.3이 마지막이거든요.

폰도 오래됐겠다 새로운 스마트폰을 써보고 싶고, 친한 친구가 폰가게를 하니까 싸게주겠다 싶어 와이프에게는 갤럭시 S, 그리고 저는 HTC MyTouch 4G를 구입했습니다. 리눅스를 사랑하는 제게 리눅스 기반의 안드로이드는 Yopy 이후 많은 기대를 하게만든 폰이었죠. 루팅은 하지 않았습니다. 별로 하고싶지도 않았구요. 한국에는 출시되지 않았지만, HTC MyTouch 4G는 현재 T-Mobile에서 성능이 가장 좋은 폰 중 하나입니다.


3개월 쓰고 팔아버렸습니다. 그리곤 이번에 아이폰4를 장만했습니다.
도저히 못쓰겠더라구요. "전화기" 쓰면서 스트레스 받아본 건 처음입니다. 옛날 리눅스 폰인 Yopy 쓸 때도 이렇진 않았습니다. 오히려 Yopy야 말로 진짜 "리눅스폰"이었죠. GNOME을 띄우고 rpm으로 패키지 관리를 하면서 컴파일러까지 포함된...

뭐 제가 애플의 제품에 익숙해진 탓도 있을 겁니다.  그래서 [B]주관적인 생각은 최대한 배제[/B]하고 비교해보겠습니다. 또한, 저는 [B]Jailbreak나 루팅을 절대로 하고싶지 않습니다[/B]. 저런 것들을 꼭 해야만 제대로 쓸 수 있는 기계라면, 아예 처음 나올 때부터 그렇게 나왔어야했겠죠. 지금 쓰는 아이폰4도 Jailbreak는 당연히 안(되겠지만)했으며, 앞으로도 할 생각은 단 1%도 없습니다. 모든 앱은 당연히 돈을 주고 구입하며 제가 가진 수백개의 앱 중에서 어둠의 경로를 통한 앱은 단 하나도 없습니다.

최대한 객관적으로 써보겠습니다.


1. 배터리 관리가 상상을 초월합니다.
잠자기 전에 100%였던 배터리가 자고일어나니까 82%더라구요. 그나마도 이게 관리를 해준겁니다. 참고로 저는 페북, 트위터 등을 전화기에서 하지않습니다. 안드로이드에서 동기화시킨 계정은 오로지 구글 이메일 하나 밖에 없으며, 그외 기존에 추가되어있던 것들은 모두 꺼버렸습니다.
결국 친구한테 테스트용으로 받아서 HTC HD2를 받아서 며칠 써봤는데, 자고일어나기 전에 이미 배터리가 방전되서 알람이 안울리는 바람에 정말 심각하게 난처할 뻔 했었습니다.
전에 쓰던 아이폰2G는 잡히지도 않는 와이파이, 블루투스를 집 밖에서도 모두 켜놓고 다녀도 저녁시간에 집에 돌아와서 배터리가 70% 밑으로 떨어져본 적이 없었습니다. 밤에 충전해놓고 잠자고 일어나면 97%, 98%였구요. 다시 말해서, 와이파이/블루투스 등 집에 오면 키고 나가면 끄고 하는 행위에는 신경쓰고싶지 않습니다. 그래서 모두 키고다닙니다. 지금 쓰는 아이폰4도 그렇게 쓰고있습니다.
안드로이드는 배터리 때문에 너무 스트레스 받았습니다.

2. 삭제가 안되는 어플이 있습니다.
HTC의 MyTouch 4G는 야후 메신저, 야후 메일, 그리고 T-Mobile에서 나오는 몇가지 어플이 깔려있는데요, 이게 부팅시 메모리에 자동상주합니다. Kill이 안되는데다 어플 삭제조차도 불가능하게 되어있습니다. 게다가 이것들의 램 점유율은 꽤 높습니다. 레퍼런스 폰을 쓰면된다는 말씀은 하지말아주세요. 루팅을 하면 된다고 하는데, 저는 개인적으로 제조사가 원하지 않은 행동을 하고싶지 않습니다. 

3. 프로세스 관리를 해줘야합니다.
아이폰도 해주긴 해줘야합니다. 하지만 아이폰의 프로세스 관리는 "선택"이지, "필수"는 아니라고 생각합니다. 그런 것들에 예민하거나 신경을 많이 쓰시는 분들에게는 거의 "필수"겠지만요.
무료도 있지만 돈을 주면서까지 앱을 Kill시켜주는 또 다른 앱을 구입해야합니다. 컴퓨터 같다구요? 그럴거면 /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin 모두 퍼미션을 풀어주던가 해야죠. SSH 서버데몬은 바라지도 않지만 접속은 좀 되게해주던가요. 
제가 늘상 컴퓨터 얘기를 할 때마다 비교를 하는 게, "컴퓨터를 24시간 켜놓으면 폭발하는 줄 알고있는 제 와이프"를 보면서 예를 드는데요, 제 와이프가 갤럭시S를 썼는데 폰이 왜 자꾸 꺼지냐는 겁니다. 킬러앱을 안깔아줬거든요. 하루를 못가서 자꾸 꺼진다는 겁니다.
지금 쓰고있는 아이폰4 역시, 제 와이프는 메모리에 상주해있는 앱을 Kill시키는 방법(Hold Home button)을 전혀 모릅니다. 알고싶어하지도 않구요. 하지만 여태 생활하면서 폰 때문에 불편하단 소리는 안합니다. 다만 갤럭시S랑 색감이 좀 다르다는 얘기는 자주 하더라구요.

4. 미칠듯이 터져나오는 "오타"는 제 손꾸락이 삐어서 그렇다고 생각하겠습니다.

5. 폐쇄적이라고 욕먹는 애플조차도 메일, 캘린더, 연락처는 구글/MS/애플 등 여러 프로토콜/웹사이트 등을 지원합니다만, 안드로이드는 구글 이외의 계정은 허락치 않습니다.
집에서 맥미니서버를 쓰기 때문에 연락처, 캘린더 등을 식구들과 공유하고 있는데요, 믿었던 구글이 구글계정 이외에는 안되게끔 되어있다는 걸 확인한 이후로는 너무나도 실망이 컸습니다. 결국 연락처와 일정 등을 모두 구글하고 연동해야만 했으며, 가끔은 내 모든 정보가 구글에 다 들어있으니 누군가가 날 감시하는 것도 "가능"은 하겠구나라는 생각이 들더라구요.
그것들이 잘 작동이나 되면 또 모르겠습니다만 무슨 연락처 하나를 놓고 몇군데에서 Sync를 하는지, 구글-T-Mobile-Facebook 등이 제 폰에 들어있는 연락처들을 서로 확인해가면서 여기는 있고 저기는 없는데 Link를 할거냐 말거냐부터... 가끔 연락처 확인해보면 폰에는 연락처가 있는데 구글에는 없고, 알고보니 T-Mobile에는 싱크가 되어있는데 Link는 안되어있고... 도대체 어떤 연락처가 어디에 어떻게 연결되어있는지 일일히 확인하는 것도 스트레스였습니다.
게다가 구글 연락처 페이지를 들어가면, 연락처 페이지가 있는데 무슨 기타 연락처라는 페이지가 따로있고, 또 자주 연락한 연락처라는 페이지도 따로있는데 들어가서 내용 확인하면 내용도 다 다르고... 암튼 정말이지 "전화기에 충실"해야하는 기본적인 기능이 너무 스트레스를 받게했습니다. 그래도 구글계정이니까 알아서 동기화는 잘 됐겠지 싶어서 이번에 장만한 아이폰4로 연락처를 동기화시켜보니 연락처 몇 개가 없더군요. 결국 제 맥미니서버의 연락처로 동기화 계정을 바꿔버렸습니다.

6. 신기능이 추가된 펌웨어는 남의 얘기였습니다.
알만한 사람들은 다 안다는 Cynogen의 펌웨어는 아주 유명하죠. 기본적으로 루팅이 되야하는 사용할 수 있는 것인데, 제가 쓰던 MyTouch 4G는 루팅에 문제가 있는 폰이었습니다. 사실 루팅은 하고싶지 않았지만 배터리와 야후앱들 때문에 폰을 쓰기가 힘들어서 루팅을 몇 번이나 시도했지만 모두 실패했고, 루팅에 필요했던 앱들이 CPU 사용량을 100%로 만들어버리는 문제를 만들어서 그것 때문에 몇 번이나 리셋을 했습니다. 결국 진저브레드만이 갖고있는 신기능들은 HTC에서 업데이트 해주기 전에는 그냥 "포기"하고 살아야하는 남의 얘기더라구요.

7. 리셋 후 마켓에 접속하면 필수앱을 자동으로 업데이트 합니다.
편하다고 생각할 수도 있는데요, 데이터 요금제의 용량이 적은 사람들은 리셋 3번만 하면 요금 Overcharge 나오겠더라구요.

8. 제 맥미니서버의 VPN 연결이 불가능한 점은, 맥서버니까 안되는 거라고 생각하겠습니다.
무려 5가지의 안드로이드폰으로 VPN 접속을 시도해봤고, 단 하나의 폰도 가능하지 않았었습니다.

9. 전화앱 자체의 에러가 심합니다.
하루종일 통틀어서 하루에 전화를 20분 이상 할까말까일 정도로 전화를 잘 안쓰는 전화기에서 종종 앱이 멈추는 현상이 생긴다면 좀 심하다고 생각드는데요, 아이폰도 에러는 납니다만 1주일에 한 번은 납득이 갈만한 수준입니다. 이건 기계마다 차이가 좀 있을 수 있으니, 저한테만 생기는 현상이라고 생각하겠습니다.

10. 터치가 어딘가 모르게 2% 부족합니다.
런처프로를 쓰면 된다구요? 대체앱을 써야만 원기능이 제대로 작동한다면 아직 상품화하지 말았어야한다는 게 제 의견입니다. 갤럭시는 좀 낫더라구요.


이상입니다.
테마라던지, 벨소리라던지 하는 극히 개인적인 취향에 해당하는 부분은 적지않고 최대한 사용상의 불편한 점에 대해서만 적어봤습니다.
맨 위에 적었듯, 리눅스를 1996년도부터 써오기 시작하면서 천리안 리눅스 동호회 운영진, 그리고 현 한국 우분투 포럼 운영진 등을 하면서 개인적으로는 정말로 리눅스를 사랑하지만, 안드로이드는 아이폰 때문에 너무 성급하게 내놓은 게 아닌가 하는 생각이 듭니다. 
언제가 될진 모르겠지만, 현재로서는 안드로이드는 다시는 쓰고싶지 않습니다.
긴 글 읽어주셔서 감사합니다.
