Final..
I think it's really awesome how much google is successful. I thought this video was pretty interesting about google and everything about it. I like how google is free for us to use but then again they spend so much money to have google/youtube. Although they do get quite a lot of money for it! I definitely would wanna work there, that food looked really good and plus there was so much different things they were doing. I never knew that all the searches made where kept in servers forever. Also that they can track it to the computer, so i guess if you don't want anyone knowing what your searching then don't search it! One thing i like is the Cloud. Its really cool that you can use the same thing in a different place, like on your phone, computer or TV!

What is the Cloud?
The cloud is a way to save your data online in servers. You can access the cloud on a mobile smart phone, your computer, or even your TV. I think this is pretty cool to have. It helps out with everything your doing on the internet. Netflix being in the cloud is cool because you can access it through your TV at home or on your computer/game system right where you left off in the movie.
Where good ideas com from..
I thought this video was very interesting and creative. He makes a lot of good points about different ideas. This video made me understand where ideas do come from and why it's important to share your ideas because there is other people with the same ideas that need your half of the idea to complete it.

Virtual Revolution 2
In this video it gives you a lot of information about Google and how the internet is and how it's changed. I like how the internet is free to use. It's cool how the different companies still get money coming in even if we're not paying for it. This video telling me that what you search on Google other people can see is kinda weird. I don't like how pretty much anything you do or put on the internet everyone can see it. I want my stuff to be private and know one else knowing what I'm doing on the internet or knowing my personal information.

Bibliography
The three citation sites I used was EasyBib, CiteFast, and Son of Citations. My favorite of the three to use was Son of Citations. Although the others are very similar I thought it was the easiest. I think for now on I'll use these to help me with citations on my papers. I never knew there was online citation makers.

Music Licensing
I didn't even really know that every time someone listens to a song there's a fee. I'm glad I don't have to pay anything to listen to music. If I had to I wouldn't like it at all, but how else are the artist suppose to make their money?
Google Drive Policy
Google drives private policy is close to being the same as other things like iCloud or Skydrive. It pretty much says that you can put all the information you want on your page and share it but Google is aloud to look at it just like anyone else.
Virtual Revolution
In this video we learned how much the internet has change and how it even really works! A lot of people rely on the internet these days for different reasons. Although the internet is great there's some disadvantages. Like the music, people are finding more ways to illegally download music instead of buying it.
Pintrest, Livebinders & Evernote
I didn't really find Pintrest that interesting but i could see it being helpful for someone else. Evernote would be great for people that need to remember things and so they wouldn't have to write anything down. Livebinders can help with researching papers. It pretty much does it for you. It also can save someone a lot of time.

Facebook Privacy
I think it is good that social networks have privacy policies, because if they didn't then everyone's information would be out to anyone. I honestly probably need to change my privacy because I haven't even looked at Facebooks latest policies. I don't want all my information on everyone else's profile. I don't really like how they change their privacy policy so much but i guess it's a good thing so everyone's happy.

Doctors with computer access to records order more X-rays??
In the article there talking about doctors who have easy computer access to results of X-rays, CT scans and MRIs are 40 to 70 percent more likely to order those kinds of tests than doctors without electronic access. Doctors with computerized access were more likely to order advanced imaging tests, such as PET scans, which experts said are most commonly used to detect cancer, heart problems, brain disorders and other central nervous system disorders. The doctors are ordering more tests then are really needed because they have the computer access to look up the tests for them even if they don't really need to be ordered.

Today in class..
I don't think it's right that your college professors or your boss at your work can look at your social network pages and postings. I kind of understand why they would do it, but i still don't think it's cool. Your life outside of school or work shouldn't effect whether u keep your job or make it through school. Plus u don't know if the people looking through all your stuff isn't doing it to creep or get your personal information.

Digital Footprints.
I don't like that people can easily steal your identity. Its not right, but at least we can kinda stop it from happening even though people find a way to hack your stuff anyways. That's dumb that people wanna take everyone's stuff for money or whatever. It would be a good thing if we could get it to stop where everyone's stuff is private.

The Future of Computers
Did you ever ask yourself how your life would be if there were no computers, no internet and no cell phones? Older people can still tell us how they remember life without any of it and only having just a radio in there house if that even. No TV, no stereo sets and so many things that we have today that we depend on that they didn't have. In the early nineties there was no internet yet, although there were rumors that there was something going on on that field of technique. There trying to be able to make it that glass in the future could have several functions in our daily life. I think that would be cool.

About this class
I like this class. It's giving me more chances to explore the internet and it's different things like blogs, and social networks. I'm learning stuff in this class that i didn't know before. I'm not that experienced with computer technology, but being in this class I'm learning more and more every class period! I enjoy being in this class but its taking me some time to get use to multitasking as much as we do.

Reaction to Digital Nation video
I think that not every one's lives should be based off of computers and technology. All the technology we have is great but people shouldn't have to be on computers or cell phones all the time to live there lives. People should know when and when not to use technology as much as they do. Outside of all the technology there's way more to be learned.
