A Bigger Picture

    Ok so my teacher thought that it would be a good idea to have a quest speaker to come to my class and give us the one on one low down on how this Internet game works. Her name was Margie Newman. She greeted my class with the warmest smile. My first thought was that this lady was going to go on and on about the importance of her job and how the internet came into play. It turned out that she fooled me. I was blown away  by what this lady had to say. She taught me that there is a fine line between introducing  yourself over the internet and putting all your business out there.
    It had me thinking that maybe there are certain things that I give to the digital world that should be left private. It brings me back to our class discussion abut what things we should that are private to Internet uses and what can be open to the public. Alot of my peers had different views on the matter but I think that its up to us to Internet aware. I think that it is best to keep it simple and not go into too much detail. There should still be some mystery to yourself.
So I decided to try it out. I made myself an About me account so I can be my own guinea pig. I hope thing go well. The Internet is not a diary but a link to the world around us. Explore it without giving up to much.

Cairo Turn Around

I am kind of late with the events happening in Cairo but it is better late then never. So these Egyptians are a creative bunch. This rioting bunch has really shown that the people of today are living a digitally run society. So the people of Cairo are protesting their president,who has been in office for 30 years. That is crazy.

So the crazy part that gets me is that the protest was organized over the Internet.  When their Internet connection was cut off the population was able to use different Google features to send tweets over the phone.
The fact that they were able to connect through the Internet shows great possibilities for many people around the world.The rioting has been going on for about three weeks but today he decided to step down. I personally do not know anyone form Cairo but I am glad! I would not think that I would be able to take having the same president in office for 30 years. It is better for the people that the military is there but what happens next?

A Comunication Evolution.!

 Communication has changed alot as the years have progressed. From the early years of American history communication has evolved slowly but surely. It was until recently that there has been a more extensive variety of how you chose to get in contact with the world around us.

   Dating back 30,00 to 37,000 years  communication was found on the the walls of caves. Cavemen were the first to give this communication thing a whirl. Communication has come to evolve in so many ways BUT has it really changed the world for the better? I don't think so!

We seem to take the many sources of communication for granted. We miss use the advancements for our ouw lesure enjoyments instead of trying to use them tob promot the good in the world. During Paul Revere's he used a simple flicker of the lamp to tell others that the Redcoats were coming. In todays society we care more about ourselves than others to even try to help the common good.
