The world today is so connected! What Happend to Communication?

I have had a problem with this for a long time rather its friends I like to hang out or someone I'm trying to pursue. I really never understood how you could make plans with a person and blow them off without any type of contact; and they inisisted on the plans(lol). It just amazes me how a person could ignore somebody when they are making it worse on their end.

Can somebody please tell me what I'm missing because I'm so lost. I tried to contact the person but not trying to be pressed about the situation. I just have been running into this problem constantly and its becoming very annoying and frustrating!

Any Suggestions?

Margie Newman

I had an oral and physical presentation given by Mrs. Margie Newman. She is a number of things so its hard to pin point her career. She works for a non profit organization, she does the public relations for the comapny. I wasnt looking forward to the presentation because I thought it would be so boring and I would be uninterested. But she sured changed all that.

What she mainly does is uses the Internet and all of it fun features it has to offer. She started talking about a website called namechk. You type your name in the search on the site and it shows you all the unavailable and available places using your name. It also is a good sites that you never know existed. It would be a great tool for any person.

What I like especially about her presentation was when she talked about how you portray yourself as a professional on the internet. She says "the internet will always be here and nothing is ever deleted" I think this is important because things can come back to haunt you if not taken seriously, depending on the type of career you want. I also liked, that we were her first high school class she ever lectured, because she mostly gave lectures to college students. I would recommend her to the tech illiterate!!!!

Call of Juarez: The Cartel

The game "Call of Juarez: the cartel" is set to be banned in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. The game is about the drug wars that were going on in Mexico. The game is expected to be released during the summer.

This game is going be banned for the protection of the children and their young minds. Their are facts that prove violence behavior can come from video games. It renacts some of the same events that happpend in Mexico.

I think the game should be in fact banned, but only to kids under 14 years old. Really I dont think this appropriate for and 14 year old but the brain is much developed and process more. I would say the game is offense to the people who died in the drug wars but what about "Grand Theft Auto:San Andreas" I'm sure people from their could relate to people in Ciudad Juarez.

SNL Family Guy & The Office

Ok, so SNL is so the funniest. I like how they have the different sketches. It shows the variety of characters and performances and creativity of everyone. My favorite would have to be.... Hahaha cant choose, their is so much to choose from!!

Next is family guy! I love this show the most and could watch it 24/7. Its so funny and the characters have more than personality, they... They just have it! I cant explain it but stewie is the best! He makes the show and without him or the other characters.

Finally, the driest humour show around, The Office. Ugggggggghhhhhh. I love this show, its ridiculous. The comedy is so... (shhhhh) before you miss the joke shows. Its easily to receive and process the jokes, they are so funny, a minute later. I watch this show faithfully, its like no other!

Morally Right? "I'm not wrestling a Girl!"

"I have a tremendous amount of respect for Cassy and Megan [Black] and their accomplishments," Northrup said in a statement given to the media following his official forfeit. "However, wrestling is a combat sport and it can get violent at times.

This is the young lady who won the State tournament against a boy. He made the decision to not wrestler her because she is a girl and his spiritual belief.

"As a matter of conscience and faith, I do not believe that it is appropriate for a boy to engage a girl in this manner. It is unfortunate that I have been placed in a situation not seen in most other high school sports in Iowa."

I think he should have took the chance in doing something that not many people get in life. Its like once in a life time. I also think he should have wrestled her because it would have gave them both the experience to say "I wrestled a boy or girl and won or lost in a State tournament"

In my opinion I would have wrestled her down to the ground, not to dominate a weaker being but show that I have no competiton. To show I'm the best and that I didnt get here just by being a certain size or to get points for the team to win. It also would have made her proud to do her the honor because this is so rare.

Egypt was first, Now its Bahrain's Turn

Everyone is aware of the change that is to come in Egypt. Due to strong protesting and citizens who did not give up on each other. Bahrain had a peaceful protest going in Manama, Pearl square. The main part of the city, police brutally attacked the peaceful protesters, they even attacked women and children. They spoke to the police "We are peaceful, peaceful!" They had no remorse or any feelings of killing innocent people who only want change and tired of the old ways.

According to yahoo news, the country is run by an Sunni Monarchy. They make all the important decisions instead of the people. Most of the citizens are Shiite and are oppressed because of their religion. They make up over 70% of the country's population and are getting murdered by the numbers. Everything in the country was shut down and nobody went to work.

I think that they are trying to create an image for everyone to see because they do not want anymore change. Egypt stood strong but it was not worse then the killings of innocent people. This is outrageous and should not be taken so lightly, I got teary eyed when they said "We are peaceful" and they still beat them. How much is to be spilled before the right can come? Too much. If I could take part to lead a demonstration I would, if I was killed, it would be just that, I would stay strong to fight for what I believe in!!

How the internet changed communication

The Internet changed communication so largely that nobody knew how or what it would turn into. Their are so many aspects of what the Internet and Communication itself could change. The Internet changed communication by Tim Berners-Lee. He created web pages which people could view on the web. Apple Introduced GUI, which is graphic user interface allows you to see icons instead of words. AOL introduced early instant messenging, which was payed hourly. <------- Can you believe that

Then in 1998 the next change of communication came to life. Broaband was introduced. There is no more dialing up through a falty phone connection and the drop of your connection. The next way Internet changed communication is net shopping. Ebay has millions of customer and products.

My opinion is that communication changed the Internet drastically at an untraceable rate. Without it I think we would be stuck in an ice age and we would all be very upset. I also feel things will keep changing and that it will be unstoppable.

Any Suggestions

 So lately I have beeen coming late to school and it gets really irritating. I go to sleep around 12 when I'm really tired, 2 or 3 when I'm bored with myself. So I wake up, but I dont get all the way up. Sometimes I lay there for 20 mins, or I will get up to take a shower. Sometimes it takes me 30 mins to get dressed. I want to know does anybody have any good suggestions for me. Any comment is welcome!!!!

What is the Internet?

My reaction to the video with Katie Kirk and Brian Gumbel was really funny because he was really being sarcastic about the idea of what internet is. Thats what alot of people do when they dont know about something; they make fun of it. They were professional people and they could not explain what the internet is. The intermet is a bunch of computers who send signals back and fourth to each other. The signals go through pole lines to ISP's and the they come back to the client. In class during the test, I felt confident taking the test because I know alot about technology. So it didnt take me very long to do it. The vocabulary words were not a challenge but some of the words I didnt know or thought I knew.
