1984 presentation

so i finally did my presentation. i thought it was going to be alot harder but it went pretty good. i talked about the summary and how "big brother is always watching" i dont think i could ever live in a world like that. i related it to the class by saying how theres no privacy no matter where you are. even with the internet, you might think you are alone but someone is always watching.

Continue blogging?

so i wont lie. i dont know if i will continue to blog. i've never really dont it before. its kind of a cool way to put down my thoughts so im not going to say i never will again, but not that much probably. there is one blog that really did get my intrest. lynetta posted it on one of her blogs for fun. it was the one where you send your secrets and then they post them. that just seems interesting to me. i wanna hear what people have to say. but as for me bloggin myself, im not sure how often it will be.

Guest speaker: Kevin Freitas

so i found his presenatation was very...'upbeat'. i was really surprised about his "journals" and how many he had. that was crazy! i dont think that i could ever do all that. im not really a journal person. it was interesting because before class i talked to him and he said that his company designed my high schools web page. and so i thought that was pretty cool. he seemed like a pretty cool guy and seemed to really enjoy and love his job.

Dot.com to Dot.bomb

so this was an interesting presentation. i really like the origami dinosaurs. im more of a visual person so when i could actually kind of see what was going on it made more alot more sense to me. being able to see helps keep my attention. im like a little kid that has to have bright or shiny objects to keep me interested. lol. i kinda remember what the presentation was about but its hard to remember the specific details. i will say tho, that is one lecture that is my fav. and one i will remember.

traveling online

so traveling online....i got to experience of it a few weeks ago. i had to plan a trip to hawaii for me and my friend. we were going down for tryouts and i didn't trust him making the plans so i decided i would take the responsibilty. i searched a bunch of websites for good flight deals. i happened to find hawaiian airlines and they had a spring special so i had to tell them the dates and how many people i was flying down with. i found it really easy actually. im sure if i needed to find a hotel and a bunch of other things they would be available for me to find too. when we did the scavenger hunt and had to plan the trip to disneyland, i found it really easy; they even asked you what kind of breakfast you wanted to have. everything in our world is becoming easier and easier. i remember whenever my family planned trips when i was younger we had a travel agent and you probably dont even need one anymore.

3 communities!

one community that im involved in is myspace. almost everyone is...lol. its a community because you can connect and meet new people from almost anywhere. you dont necessarily have to have a common goal or interest like some places. you can chat about anything you want. you post anything you want. theres a few limits, nothing to explicit, but sometimes things like that slip through. i mean it can be pretty safe if you arent too stupid. like dont go around handing out ur number or address or talking to weirdos or people you dont know. just stick with your friends and you should be fine. once in awhile there might be someone who hacks into your account, its happened to me before, and yes it sucks but just delete if it really bothers you.

another community that i was involved in like a really long time ago was the brittney spears fan club...hahaha i kno i was nerd. it was a community because everyone in it shared a common interest of her music. they would post events that would go on and important dates. i felt so cool back then and now looking back i was such a nerd. it was a way for me to talk to other people about my thoughts on her music and see if they thought the same thing.

another community that i am involved in is facebook. its very similar to myspace. at first it was only for college students and you had to use a college email to make sure you were in college. now they changed it to where anyone can join. maybe they did this to get more users? probably. i kinda like facebook better because it isnt so flashy all the time, you can edit your background or have music on your page. it was cool at first but then it just got annoying. also at first facebook you could have WAY more pictures and albums but not myspace you can too. although in facebook your friends are way more organized which i like way better. so its basically like a more sophisticated myspace in my way of thinking...

Online Scavenger Hunt

so far I have almost everything done. there were a few things that i didnt get because i either couldnt find or didn't understand. it was pretty easy and interesting. i enjoyed myself. my friend actually helped me along whenever i got stuck. i thought this was going to be a lot harder when it was explained in class but i enjoyed it!
