Google

I use Google daily. I trust it with my information completely but at the same time I don't look up anything that I'm scared of anyone knowing. That is the key to keeping our privacy. If we don't want anyone to know information, then we can't just put it out there. Google gives us so much in return for what we give it. I don't think Google will do anything to turn on it's users. Google is here to stay as we know it in my opinion. I think improvements are the only changes we will see.

The Cloud and Where do good ideas come from?

I use the cloud every single day. For multiple uses too. I use Netflix on a daily basis. I will watch a show in the morning, continue watching when I have free time at school, and finish when I get home. I also use Google docs on my iPad at home and on computers at school. The cloud is an unbelievable source of technology. It helps us to be able to do things on the go or when we have little time to do what we need to. I love the cloud. Now, where do good ideas come from. They come from everywhere. People have great ideas all the time. It's those that actually take note of theirs and do something that create amazing things.

Virtual Revolution part 3

Honestly this is something I have grown up with so I honestly don't know if I really know how I feel. I am not bothered by the fact that other people can see the things I search or do online. I am not ashamed of one single thing I do on here. I also don't think it is my business to look at other people's searches and websites they have browsed. That is their personal information. The same is for me. Although it doesn't bother me, it is my personal business and nobody should care what I am on or what I look up but I am not bothered if they do. It is the world we live in and we have to adapt or get left behind.

Music Copyrights

How do they effect me? They effect me because if I make a video or slide show and I use someone's music, I need permission first. Who from? The label and the composer or songwriter. I have made a music video before and I used someone else' music. I put it on YouTube and it got taken down because of copyright violation. I then realized that I never got permission. Now I know.

The Internet

The internet as we know it is very much taken for granted. All the sites we get on every day are ran by thousands of people and we can get on them at the click of a mouse. There is so much behind the scenes work that goes on to make this amazing thing possible. Understanding what makes it all work can be quite complicated but if we really pay attention it can be rather fascinating.
