Reflection

I think that technology is important because it makes things easier to do. Technology has definitely change over the past 5 years because everything is more advanced than it was a few years ago. I think technology will be better in the next 5 years. I think that it all will be easier and faster than before. For schoolwork I usually use the Internet to search for answers that I'm not sure of for some of my classes. For personal use I use the computer to get on websites like itunes or YouTube. I also use my ipod to listen to music and I love to watch movies and TV. I think that I will use the tools that I learned this year because I used to not know anything about computers but now I know a lot of different shortcuts and different websites to use than the ones that I usually use. I would use the widgets and gadgets for lifelong learning because they have different apps that you can use and some are for fun and others can be used to help you in our everyday lives. I probably wont use the Avatars ever again because I don't really like using the Avatars. My favorite thing to create was igoogle or the blog because it was fun to make them ourselves and add the things that we liked. Also, we got to see other peoples and see what they like and what they would use to describe ourselves. My least favorite would have to be the podcasts because we all felt akward talking into the microphones.

blabberize and voki

We made avatars for both voki and blabberize. Blabberize was more difficult because you had to fit the mouth areound the picture. Voki was easier because all you had to do was make your person and record your voice.

Halloween Story

MGM Studios V. Grogster LTD

This copyright case was filed in 2003 by MGM Studios and 28 other entertainment companies against Grogster and Steamcast because they offered a file sharing system of stored information such as movies, books and music. Grogster replied that “If the movie copyright were to be found in favor of plainlift, that it would create potential grounds for movie copyright organizations to seek damages in a number of previous acts believed to be related with peer to peer file sharing and copyright infringement.” Later on that year, the charges were dismissed due to its parallels to the Sony Corp v. Universal Studios movie copyright case and its final verdict.

Tracking Theresa

Theresa gave out the information that she is a female teen, phone number, moms and brothers name, her name, area where she lives, and at what time she is usually home. I have not put personal information on the Internet. Deputy Krupp says the most important thing to remember online is your common sense. I watched another video about the survivors. They were 2 guys who trusted someone online. One of the guys was picked up outside his house and met the person. He was to ashamed to tell anyone. But when he saw the car that picked him up driving around his neighborhood, he finally decided to tell someone. He said that he will remember that for the rest of his life.

Netiquette

Netiquette is network etiquette. It is a set of standards you are supposed to use wen your online. The core rules of netiquette are, remember the human, adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you would use in real life, know where you are in cyberspace, respect others time and bandwidth, make yourself look good online, share expert knowledge, help keep flame wars under control, respect othe people's privacy, don't abuse you power, and be forgiving of other peoples mistakes.

  

Technology Article

Blockbuster is starting a new service for streaming movies through the internet. It is giving people a reason to leave netflix and join blockbuster. More people are now using blockbuster instead of netflix. http://www.sacbee.com/2011/09/23/3932509/blockbuster-expected-to-announce.html says that netfix's stock plunged 50% since july because of the blockbuster streaming service.

RSS Feeds

An RSS feed makes it quicker and easier to search through new things on your favorite websites. I would use google reader to search through my favorite websites and search on my friends blog. There are a lot more people on http://www.go2web20.net/ that are registered to the site than the people on my google reader and a lot of people post things about facebook and twitter when our google reader is a class system.

Delicious

Delicious is a place where you can add websites to help other people search and you can look up websites that other people have added to narrow down your search. I think that it is useful because you can have a quicker search and check out sites that other people have already checked out to make the search easier. I can use it if i am doing reaserch for a class project to make my searches quicker and easier. I can also get better websites to look at.

Technology and Me

I am not very good with technology. I can never figure out what to do with my computer. I am always listening to music and I do not have a cell phone. I love to take pictures on my camera. I  also like to watch videos and make them with my friends. They do the editing because I don't know how to and we never post them because it makes us look stupid and they are kind of embarassing.
