GOOD BYE ....

What you want to learn more of, what you hope never to have to do again?
Last chance to get it all out.
When we started this class I thought I new everything there was to know about web 2.0, but boy was I wrong. I've learned so much through this class about different sites to accomplish different goals and how is it is to use some of these sites.I think after trying all these new sites it has made me want to go out and try out more new sites. I am a very hands on learner so actually participating in the project made it so much more fun to learn about. I plan to use the video and photo manipulation sites in the future because I really enjoy creating stuff. I am also hoping to get better at photo manipulation and getting a better camera and trying to make a side job out of it. One thing I probably wont ever do again is make a podcast I'm not a big fan of hearing myself talk...LOL

COPYRIGHT or WRONG?

I'm still not 100% on this Copyright stuff. Basically to me unless you wrote it, created it, or bought and paid for it you have no rights to anything in this world. Its all comes down to a few people messing it up for everyone else, and the old mighty dollar if someone thinks they can make a quick but off you they will.Dont get me wrong I dont agree with kids remixing as they called it, I think they could reword it so you know they got the sense of whatever it is they are doing, and also created the original creator. Maybe we should better educate or children about these rules and be a bit more specific, they arent going to learn get accused of high jacking someone elses work all the time. We should also teach to our youngsters to think for themselves a bit more. I guess my over all opinion is yes we should have a copyright, but to what degree is it necessary I think it has gone too far.

Generation F

I am an avid Facebooker, it has become increasingly worse since classes started back up, I'm stuck on the computer all day everyday for homework so at the same time I am Facebooking with friends and family. I just recently got the internet on my phone and thats something I didn't want to do in the beginning of the semester and now I have it, because thats where most of my networking, and communication with my boyfriend is done through because he's deployed right now. Most of the people I talk to on a daily basis are at work, and I always nag them about being allowed to be on Facebook while at work.I remember when people used to get in trouble for using it at work and now its just excepted by employers.
Just recently I began to notice that people status's were updated more frequently and about more day to day things, nothing increasingly important. I guess that would come from "Power comes from sharing, not Hoarding" Everyone wants to share and the more they share the more connected they are to others. The other thing that caught my eye was "Contribution counts for more than credentials" this is very true no one cares about who's posting what all they care about is how it may relate to them or someone they know.
I Love the internet and what it does for me, makes life a little easier SOMETIMES,for example communicating with our soldiers,who are 100's of miles from home and need that support. The internet has also become a problem people like myself are becoming way to reliant on it and for simple communication or just simply over using it.
