Reflection:
My partner Joey and I had Fritos. i was surprised about how small the serving size was so small. i figured it would be bigger.

Christmas Traditions

The Christmas Traditions that I enjoy is the music, presents, and the lights. During Christmas time my house is full of decorations from Christmas stockings to Christmas cards. Most of the time my mom is playing music through-out the house.
Another thing I like about Christmas is all the Christmas lights that get set up on everyone’s houses. I see some houses that have music playing on the radio that is synchronized to the lights flashing. At my house we just put up normal lights all over the house.

Reflection

Technology is important because without it we would have no means of transportation or communication. It has changed drastically over the last five years and is still changing every day, and in the next 5 years the technology will get more and more complex. For school I use multiple types of technology daily but I would have to say that I use the internet and computers the most for school, but outside of school in my personal life I use my laptop, the internet, my iPod, my phone, and my TV. I don't think that I will use any of these applications in the future other than Microsoft word and PowerPoint. I don't think I will use any of these tools again because I use different websites. My favorite tool was probably Chirbit because it was fun making podcasts. My least favorite tool was delicious because I didn’t really see the need for it.

Comparison

I think that Voki was easier to use because it isn't as complex as Blabberize. I thought that Blabberize was a pretty good site but i would have to say that i liked Voki just a little bit better. I would probably use and suggest people to Voki because is simpler that Blabberize, and you could possibly use these websites in Radio.

LimeWire Vs. Entertainment Industry

            Earlier this year LimeWire was forced to cease its operations of being a P2P file sharing network. The Music industry claims that LimeWire LLC and Chief Executive Mark Groton owe Trillions of dollars in damages for illegal distribution of 11,000 copyrighted songs. In a ruling in March earlier this year by Judge Kimba Woods of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York rejected the lawsuit that the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) that said LimeWire should pay up to $150,000 for each download of some 11,000 songs. The music publishers, which include Sony and Warner Music Group, sued LimeWire for copyright infringement last June. Today all the claims that were brought against LimeWire LLC and Chief Executive Mark Gorton were dismissed after a filing in a New York federal court, but it was not disclosed, and it’s understood that both sides will have to pay the damages that they did. What they didn’t know is that the music industry was actually making a profit from file sharing. On May 2^nd of this year LimWire had to face 13 different record companies where the proof was show that studios profit from filesharing.

Your Photo Fate

In this real life story this girl sends her boyfriend a sext message. When she sends it he is with all of his friends at the baseball diamond and shows all of his friends the picture then sends it to his friend that’s sitting right next to him. Then his friend sends to his friends and in no time everyone in their whole school has seen the picture.

Netiquette

Netiquette is short for “Internet Etiquette” which is the guidelines to good manners on the internet, and interacting courteously with others online.

Technology Article

This week SugarSync is at the top of the Android App list. The app SugarSync recently had an update that made it even easier to use. With this app you can manage, check, and edit the files that you have stored on your phone. This app is free to everyone unless you use more than 5GB of space. I have never personally used this app but it seems like it would be very useful if you had a lot of files on your phone.

Delicious

Delicious is an online bookmarking website that people use. It lets you tag websites yourself instead of someone else. I think that it could be very useful if you actually took the time to use it. I will probably not use it unless I am in school.

Technology and Me!

I have a smartphone that I use for the normal texting and calling, but I also use it internet perposes to look up information when I'm not home and I also use it to play games. I also use my phone to use twitter, facebook, and Youtube. I also use my Sony Vaio laptop for school work, and for video editing. I have an Ipod touch that I pretty much listen to all the time. I have an Xbox 360 that I don't really play all that much I normally use it to watch Nexflix or Zune videos.
