BLOG POST #1B :)

I think this semester is going to be different because Mr. Yan is going to be more strict and I think he will give us more homework. He is not going to be that nice anymore. It's going to get tougher to pass the class and the projects will become more complex. To improve, I will do my blog posts on time and pay attention in class! This semester is going to be really weird because we will be dealing with calculators. It's like we are digging underneath the surface to discove that a calculator is more than just punching in numbers. I am going to miss doing the HTML pages.

BLOG POST #8 :D

The fact that people are using the internet as their memory bank is ridiculous in a way but smart at the same time. I think the study of people using the internet to help them remember things is probably because people using the internet everyday, so there must be a reason why they use it and it must be to hold information for them and being able to rely on that information. I am also part of the "Google Effect" because for homework I may be unfamiliar with a certain school subject so I need to look it up online for help. People don't always know everything so that is why they rely on the internet and sometimes the internet reveals more information than books due and it gives you many topics related to what you want to know. There will never be a solution to this "Google Effect" as people want to call it because like I mentioned no one knows everything and people are bothered by the fact to go to the library and get a book to find out. We always depend on the internet to know the things we don't know. But the reality is that the internet doesn't know all because someone had to post all of those articles and only 97 percent of the time you find what you are looking for and that is my approximate guess. Besides, I also doubt that people even memorize what they read on the internet because even then after they read it they will forget. The internet is only a source of reference when you need it and sometimes people don't bother to learn anything they read anywhere.

BLOG POST #7 :D

I think technology will affect me more this year than previous years of my life because companies always try to improve their products and it always continues to progressively happen. I will be more surrounded by advances in technology. When I was still very young iPods had not existed yet and all these fancy smart phones either. I think for school I will have to be more obligated to use technology to share opinions like in this case here and to work on assignments. Personally, I am not into technology but I like the way it works. It seems as the years gradually progress, a person is more and more obligated to use a computer or any other type of electronics. I will probably be obligated to buy a laptop or tablet to do homework if I am somewhere else in the world. There are now less and less excuses to not be able to do something because of course our world is advancing and everything seems to think for itself but be more intellectual than human beings. At this point in life, there are no excuses why you shouldn't have a type of computer or any of the sort.My life this year with technology is going to drive my life crazy! Everywhere I go there will be featured ads of new phones and computers and what not so it is like the world doesn't want to leave you at rest. We will be heading to an epidemic of laziness with all this technology.
