Bucket List Project Reflection

First of all, the project was Semi-Enjoyable. But I learned about many things that I really didn't know such as how the Empire state building has 102 floors. Or how Great White Sharks are actually friendly, and just mistake us for their food. I could possibly use this for other classes ( What I mean is using the Movie Maker program.). I could enjoy this program for personal use for Game Montages!
Sadly, there were a few problems with this: My last two recording files were Corrupt, therefore they sounded like a mess. I couldn't have time to re-record them, so I had to use the eight recordings I had.

Other Thoughts: Other then that problem, the rest of the project was smooth!

Emerging Technology Part 1

The Article I read about was how the new feature on Facebook, called Timeline, which now lets you sort out your big life events, such as buying a car, a house, a new relationship, vacations, and many other things. It is also kept as s sort of "Permanent Record" for other people to see. Many people use this for background checks, interviewing for jobs, babysitting, and just finding out if you can trust the person you are researching. I believe that Facebook itself will one day become one big permanent record of our daily lives. It will save so much more time creating documents, case files, etc. It will help the Police find criminals faster, and help make people safer. What surprised me the most, was that Timeline can make this possible.
Back in 2009, people were ecstatic about the development of personal software that can "do" something instead of find something. The program is called Siri. It is now embedded into all Apple devices. Google also has Google Glass, which does the same thing in their devices.

Online Experience A Reflection

Technology is important because it is used in our lives daily. We use it to cook, to teach, to build, to invent new things, and to save our lives. Over the last 5 years, Technology has changed from just small keyboard phones and bulky computers with Internet that screams and groans, to some of the greatest devices known to man. Phones have become personal computers, and touchscreen tablets have become the new gaming consoles of our generation. We are close to Holographic technology, which allows us to see certain objects without using 3D glasses, and is also safe to touch. Technology is going to spring forward in the next five years, starting with Google's Smart Glass. It's really a smart phone, but it is now on your head. It will become your GPS, your Phone, and your Social Networking device. I usually use my computer for schoolwork. I like to use my phone for everything else. I will probably use the tools I've learned to use in Online A to create a Youtube channel. I can become a partner of Youtube and I can get paid to post gaming videos, livestream, and have a job elsewhere. Who wouldn't want this job? The tool that is that is the most practical for lifelong learning can be Facebook and Blogger. You can use these to post assignments up and have your teachers see them. That way, we save trees! (See what I did there? Hehe...) I believe Flickr was my favorite tool to create because of the simplicity of adding and seeing photos. My least favorite was MyPlick because it took WAY too long to process audio. On top of that, it took an hour to upload the slideshow itself. It was awful.

Voki/Blabberize Comparison

I believe that Voki was much easier to use(It's not that Blabberize was a difficult website, it was because of the equipment I was using). I loved Balbberize the most though, because it's just fun and humerous to work with. I would forget Voki and use Blabberize for everything. I could use blabberize to use in other class projects!

My Blabber (Like a boss!)

Cyberbullying Stories

Teresa didn't give out her Age, Sex, or e-mail address. But, she posted her interests, name of her family member, (Billy Jr., so her dad would be named Billy)members, and other small things. Her username tells Teresa01, tells a lot about what her gender is.
  I, unfortunenately, put up some personal information on the internet.
  The most important thing to do on the internet is too not give out any personal information, whether it's your friend, neighbor, or a trusted user online.
  Remember this: Your friend is your friend today, but they could be your enemy tomorrow.


   There was a guy named Eduardo, who was a Junior at NHS. He had good grades, a loving family, awesome friends, and ready to get a huge scholarship for a college he wanted to go to. One night, he went to a party, with lots of alcohol. He then started taking pictures, and then he took one of himself. He posted, but didn't know it was open to the public. His principle found out, and his coach soon followed. He was kicked off the swim team, and his scholarship was gone. His parents were extremely angry too. He then realised that this was all his fault. He learned his lesson about posting things on the internet.

Status Cloud 2

I am proud of myself on Facebook because I did not find one swear word in my status cloud! I'm surprised that I used the word "You" the most. I am not embarrassed about anything. I will try to keep my posts a little more private next time, as I saw that everyone that WASN'T my friend could also see these. o_o

"Cyberbully" Movie Reaction

First of all, the movie was very dramatized, but you can't deny the fact that it showed many truths. Many of the things that happened in the movie happened in the certain things that we talked about in class. Some differences were when her friend (I forgot her name...) gave up and walked away on her in the middle of the chaos. Some similarities were when Megan's friend posed as another person from a different school.

Netiquette

Netiquette is pretty much the polite way to act in real life, but the rules also apply to the Internet. Netiquette is a set of unspoken rules that keeps order in websites, blogs, tubes, and social networks.
Some examples of good Netiquette: A popular Youtuber is being flamed by someone that is extremely jealous about their channel. You help the victim simply ignore it, and "kill" the flamer with kindness( Telling them they good be much better if they didn't make lies or call out people out of jealousy).
Now the Bad examples: Finding someone who has made some grammar mistakes. You call them out in public and make people laugh at them. But this won't last a minute. It WILL backfire on you.
The rule that you ultimately want to follow is the Golden Rule: Treat others the way YOU want to be treated.
DON'T RAGE BRO

Copyright - Downloading Songs for Free

Downloading music off the internet without permission is completely Illegal. They have been available for many years, starting with Napster. Many people, and other downloading sites, claim that downloading free music is safe and legal. It is, in no way, shape, or form, legal what so ever. But here is something to think about: A local, and unknown band wants to get their music out to the public. They are allowed to upload MP3 files legally and let people download them because they gave them permission to. You must have the artist's permission to download their music for free. This also goes with Pictures, crack versions of games, programs, and many others.

Arnold Schwarznegger has starred in many extremely cheesy Japanese commercials in the 80's. The producers payed him big money for these commercials. But this website, called Gajin a Go Go Cafe, created by Zero One Design in Canada,was posting those commercials on their site. Arnold saw this, and took them to court in 1999. The site was taken down on August 10, 2000.

Slovakia

Slovakia - Researching

      I think my research and project went very well! My favorite part about the project was finding out how important Slovakia was to Europe in WWI and WWII. I was also happy to see that they were a democracy, and very close allies to the U.S.!

      The least favorite part of my project was finding information on the Smolenice Castle, and how the Congress meets there while parties are going on in the main floors.

      The strong point in my presentation was when I was speaking loud and making Eye contact to many people, and adding in extra information that wasn't shown in the slides.

     Overall, I did a nice job! :P

Razor Blade Gaming Laptop

The New Razor Blade Gaming Laptop: Sleek, Powerful, Expensive D:

Razor Blade has revealed their newest gaming laptop: The Razor Blade Second Generation Lap Top. The second-generation edition is an upgrade from the original, released in February 2012. Razor wanted to bolster the hardware specs without detracting from what makes the Blade unique in portable computer gaming -- its size. It has a huge 17-Inch screen, with great gaming performance.

They also moved their Razer blade touchpad to the right- making the older gamers have to learn how to use it again. The touchpad can stream videos- which is good for finding walthroughs of a game your playing. This laptop comes in at $2,500, putting some people with lower budgets back.
