Online A Wrap-up

Technology is important because it helps make everyday life easier and you can get more things done with the technology there is today. Technology has changed over the last 5 years in so many ways, like now there are things that we couldn't do before like now most computers are small enough and affordable for many people. before they used to be big heavy things. Also there's smartphones and tablets that can do almost anything a computer can and even more like send texts and make phone calls. Technology isnt even close to being done growing. I think that within the next five years, computers will be able to get wifi anywhere or have keyboards that are made of light projected onto a surface. Also phones would be able to do everything by thought, that would be sweet! I use search engines for school work to research projects and i used things like Microsoft word to type essays. I use thinks like social networking to communicate with friends and family, i play xbox online with my friends as well. I also use my cellular device to send text messages to my pals. i will definitely use the things i learned about netiquette later in life, I dont want to make a bad image for myself. I think using the RSS feed for like news and sports scores and highlights. i dont think I'll ever create a wiki account or podcasts at all anymore. My favorite tool to create was the iGoogle because i could make it the way i wanted to. My least favorite to create was the avatars on voki and blabberize.

Playstation 4

Sony's big event in New York was for the reveal of Playstation . They show game-play, tech tips and new features. There are new social features on the new system like you can share game play with friends being connected through existing social networks and monitoring what you play and what you purchase. i find that weird and i feel like it's invading your privacy. i don't necessarily like that  but Dennis Fong, told CNN he thinks the social sharing feature built in to the PS4 is exactly what next-generation devices should be doing. Although, from what people saw they seemed to like the new gaming system of the Playstation 4. 

Voki vs. Blabberize

In Voki you create an avatar that looks similar to you. You can make him talk by either typing words for it or by recording your voice. The avatar will move around and look at where ever your mouse. In Blabberize you take a picture of anything and you can make it talk by making its mouth move and recording your voice. I think Voki was easier to use because you didn't have to record your own voice. i liked Blabberize the best because you could make anything talk. i honestly would use either of them again because i don't like recording my own voice. i honestly do not know what these could be used for in any other class.

Real Life Stories

Teresa gave out her phone number, email, instant messenger and what time she gets home. Yes, i have put personal information out on the internet. I think the most important thing to remember while online is to never give out personal information and don't post photos of yourself. The second video i watched was called Your Photo Fate. It was about how a girl sent a guy a "hot" picture and the guy sent it to one of his friends and then his friend sent it to a lot of people. Then the photo got online because of some girls and a lot of people were able to see it.
