Data Mining/Digital FootPrints

After watching those two videos, I have realized that the internet can pretty much control anything you do. With everything you do it is digitally saved. While watching the second video I found it kind of weird how when you go to type something in google it researches what it thinks it wants you to look up not exactly what you need. I also find it weird that googling the same topic at the same time but in two different places can bring up different resutls. It's like the computer is trying to read your mind. Watching those two videos aslo make me consider my social media choices like Facebook for example. Then when im online I feel like I'm pretty much the same person but then again i don't post too much on Facebook or Twitter because those are the only two social Networks I go on. Despite the fact that I go on Twitter and all that after googling my name I was completely freaked out! It had so much information about me that I didnt even know was out there. I'm pretty sure when I saw you could find people's addresses, the first thing I said was this is how people are stalked and die. As simple as sitting on the computer is, it can also be a really scary controlling kind of thing with out even noticing.

Digital Mining and Digital Footprint

After watching the two videos,it reminded me of how much we need to be careful of what we do on the internet.It really goes to show how much technology has advanced because the internet is trying to assume what we like.Especially how in that video,it shows Facebook controlling what pops up on your news feed.Also people are shielded from some news because of what search results.Like people will miss major news.I think the internet is getting too smart too fast.Soon it will be completely self reliable on itself,which may not be a good thing.I wonder what places will think about me due to my profile on social media sites.Those websites that allow you to search for someone,i don't think those are a good thing.Not only does they find the person,but they find so many things about you like your email,phone number and even address.The internet learns so much every single day.It's almost impossible to believe.

Data mining/Digital footprints

After watching the videos on data mining and digital footprints, I realized that every single thing that you do and search online is remembered and recorded, which can be either a good or bad thing, depending on who you are online. The videos that were posted on the blog, digital dossier and Eli Pariser: beware online "filter bubbles" helped me understand exactly what a digital footprint is, and explained how people get an online dossier. The first video about digital dossiers exaplined to me that people will have an online profile basically before they are born, because their parents are sending out ultrasound pictures as well as posting them online, and after the person is born, they start creating their own by searching for information on Google or creating profiles on websites such as Facebook or Twitter. The second video explained to me that the web somehow filters the results you get when you search on Google or any other search engine. The internet remembers what you look up and what information you give to websites, when registering for something or buying an item online, and filters the results for searches based on what your history is. My personality online is exactly the same as it is in person, because I don't post things online that I would find to be innappropriate or that I wouldn't say in person.

Today's Technology

Although there are countless new pieces of technology that people use daily, I find the radio the best. If you think about it, a radio is a pretty complicated system that requires a certain kind of knowledge to make or fix. The fact that people are able to pick up radio waves and put the into the systems we listen to in our cars or homes is pretty cool. Radios have come a long way since the first one was invented, seeing as the radios today are so advanced that we can minipulate the bass, tebble, balance, ect. The first radio was nothing like today's, so I find it pretty interesting that we have evolved so much in a short amount of time.

Technology of Today

Of all the different types of technology being advanced,i think the most amazing is a phone.The iPhone especially.The phones of today have so many things that were never together before.A iphone basically is a computer and phone combined.Also people use to have to buy CD'S,but now we have iTunes,which can also fit on a phone.Phones are now personal mobile computers(PMC).Soon,the only user interface(UI) will ever need to learn is that of their phones.There is speculation that soon the screens will  be able to bend,and even project images.Phones can help people with so much,they even have GPS'S to help people find their way.Phones could possibly have 3D technology without the use of glasses.I use my phone for everything,i feel weird without it,because if i ever have a question,or need to find somewhere,it's so much easier to pull something out of my pocket instead of going on a computer.

.21st Century Skills: What Do We Do? review

haleys video is very interesting. it really gets you hooked to see what is next. the music is very entertaining and blends well into the information. it is overall a well made video and very informative towards technology we have today

Today's Technology

After reading Jason's link about the new "Facebook" phone I honestly think it's a good advancement in technology but it would just be another distraction to the upcoming generation. Compared to when i was younger I never had a facebook or even the internent but now kids as young as two or three have all this technology they can use. Also with kids getting cellphones at younger ages i feel if they got this phone it would just use this in school all day and not pay any attention. After observing all the technology we really do use this week i have noticed that it can be a bad thing kids are already really distracted by cell phones but with in the next couple years they'll be so advanced who knows what they could do. Then with Jason's Stephen Hawking video as long as it was to watch he does bring up some valid points in our world and technology.

inspiration

inspiration is a great way to get organized with any class. for example using the tree template diagram helped me categorize the generals in world war 2. tere are unlimited things you could do with any template. the example RIVALRY IN AMERICAN DEMOCRACY is very good. it really keeps you interested in every detail. the different colors fits perfect for the eye. its a pleasent view and very well organized. its an overall great example and overall great application

Inspiration

While looking at Inspitration there are many examples provided that can help you in different subjects. For example when on Inspiration they have subjects like Science, English Language Arts and Socicial Studies. Under the Science tab they have a really cool example of the six kingdom groups that you would learn in biology. Along with the graphic organizer it had little notes and pictures. Also with the templetes under ELA they had may diferent types you could use. If you were to write a pursuassive essay you could have a template for that. All the examples and templetes on inspiration are extremely helpful.
