Title: My job for this assignment was to takes notes and examine the UMAX Astra Pix 670 camera in order to form a hypothesis on what components are in the camera as well as the purpose to the design of the camera.
Objective: My goal for this assignment is further understand the purpose of a technology’s design and to further understand different components asa well as their functions.and how those functions work with other components in order for the camera to work.
Materials: 1 notebook, 1 pen, 1 UMAX Astra Pix 670
Method: Examined the Camera from angle and then wrote notes about what I found on the outside of the camera in order to come up with a hypothesis as to the interior components used and the design within the camera.

Other reason why this camera was good for on the go was the fact that it had only two camera setting, a video camera setting, and a media playback.
