Blog Entry #3 The New Technology Life

 

http://youtu.be/aHRt6SninsM

This is the video I choose and for multiple reasons. I like the way the video is trying to show that not all technology in the classroom is a bad idea. It shows that as more children are learning to use technology, and at younger ages they want to have fun while learning at the same time. I myself believe that technology is a great thing when used properly. Younger children in my family use a very popular website called http://www.abcmouse.com/, if these young children start out younger to learn then possibly we would have a more successful high school graduation rate. As a college student, technology is one of the fastest and easiest ways to not only communicate with my teachers, but classmates, colleagues, and even family. I do hate that people over abuse the technology culture and make it into a system of cheating and plagiarism. The computer networks that are in classrooms now should be updated so that technology can be used, but also shut down in times of tests, quizzes, and even cell phone reception. The classroom is a time for learning and growing as a human being not to “troll” social networking sites to like and poke everyone. I can say I have been a rude student in a class before and found out it does not just interrupt my learning, but also the learning of everyone around me. I also looked up http://youtu.be/Ki2Z4NhlCWg, this video shows you why books are being phased out, but in my opinion life is moving too quickly and the written text is the history in the physical form. I believe books teach us how to be patient and how the world has changed. The different types of books and magazines show that we are a diverse world. Some people still like to pick up an actual book and flip the pages, instead of just rubbing your finger across a screen. I hope that one day people will realize that technology can fail, even in the greatness; one push of a button can erase and change multiple subject matters. I do believe that the world is changing and in the good way. Everyone one from infant to geriatric, is going to have to learn how to use and be proficient in computers very soon. Lastly, every parent should be monitoring children’s activity and maybe we wouldn’t be in the situation that our education system is in now. That is a discussion for another time stay tuned. In conclusion, technology has made the human race feel superior and knowledgeable, but without books we would have never made it to the technology age. The learning in the classroom needs to be monitored more and frowned upon because of privacy.  Thank you for reading and it is a pleasure to write for you.

Blog Entry #2 The New Prospect on Life

          The life that has been laid out for us as homo-sapiens. I feel that the society we live in should be more of an eye for an eye society. The criminals and thieves that are caught and prosecuted to have life or near life in jail is a ludicrous idea. As I see it, if you do something wrong you should have to get the same done to you or something equally horrible. The reason for my topic this week is I watched on the news and heard another school shooting has happened. I looked up all the school shootings in the last forty years and every state has had at least one school shooting and about 90% were either former or current students trying to get back at the teachers or professors for bad grades. As I see it, no one should ever be mad at a teacher or professor for bad grades, for it is the students fault for getting the bad grades. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States I can not believe that we give our inmates more luxuries then we give our elderly. All of the ones that were caught are sentenced to jail there are very few that were sentenced to death, which proves the point that our justice system is becoming to lenient on criminals that kill then on white collar crimes who did not physically hurt or kill anyone. I am just wondering how long until Americans can feel safe and go outside of our comfort zones like the rest of the world? In the Hofstede model it shows that Americans are les likely to change their ways as it is now and they are also more scared of the uncertainty in the future. In society, we all want to say what I am about to, the killers should be killed by the families, the rapist should be castrated, and the thieves should be sent back into the world with everything gone. I think that we as a society should step up and say we are tired of being scared; even though, we have the strongest military our home front is more unsafe then 75% of the world.
               In conclusion, I was military and that has never influenced my view I have thought this way since I was a child watching the columbine shooting on television, or watching a CEO get away with stealing millions or billions or dollars while working class get the brunt end of the stick. I would like some true justice and I do understand that money does make the U.S. work it does not help the lower class it just makes it harder. As always I do apologize if anyone was offended, but I am not sorry for what I have written. I do believe in honesty and as I read and hear all of these horrible situations going on in the world it makes me just want to become a vigilante, but in that case I would then become the bad guy so win or lose, wait it is all lose situation until someone looks closer at our "Liberties." Thank you for reading my blog  

Blog Entry #1 The New World

So in my search for how to write or even navigate blogs I searched the web and came up with some different understandings of blogs. I have come to not like the personal type of blogs unless I really know the person or the people that are being talked about in the blog in some way shape or form. The blogs that I did like and recognize with the most are the business or commercial blogs about celebrities, or the ones that had some inside to a trade or hobby that I love. In the blog, The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs I read the different posts of how he feels about different subjects and also that he was influenced on more then one occasion to change or omit his blog to satisfy his readers. http://www.fakesteve.net/ . The link provided brings you to the blog but the last entry which is a poem dedicated to Steve Jobs and his life inspired my to want to improve life and make the world a better, more perfect place. In the poem, it was even said that "Your name, old friend, is the definition of hope. Not literally, I mean, not if you look up “hope” in the dictionary, but you know what I’m trying to say." this to me means that we as a society has lost someone who showed most of us the light that is imaginative and to create beyond what we already know. Steve Jobs will be miss.

 

On the other hand, TMZ blog really made me realize that I hate people who chase and follow hard working people just because they are famous. Do not get me wrong not saying I did not like the blog just saying that stalking even for paparazzi should be illegal. I do like seeing my favorite stars doing interviews, but to catch them outside of their house or leaving a shop is a little overkill in every sense.  http://www.tmz.com/ In the sense that I do not like them I also love them. The standards in America for what makes for news is becoming more of an entertainment then for actually getting people what is really going on. You can not turn on a T.V. without seeing death in every other "news" story. T.V. has ruined life and I think everyone needs to turn it off and go outside for even an hour a day even if it is just for a walk.

 

Lastly, I would like to talk about these so called "Bloggies." Why is there an award ceremony for something that is for people to read? This is the exact problem with media always trying to make money or give awards for something that should be harmless and fun. If my blog goes viral meaning over a million hits I DO NOT want any recognition I just want to let people know what I am thinking and how things affect us as humans. I will keep my language age appropriate, but I will also tell the truth about anything and everything I see, hear, and read. If anyone has any stories they would like reviewed I will gladly accept anything and give a review and my opinion and honesty about it. In conclusion, I want people to know anything I say and do in my blog I will also do and say in person, no I am not picking any fights or challenging anyone this is just who I am and I appreciate everyone who has read or will read my blog thank you and have a wonderful week.
