Last Blog!! March 16, 2009

I can’t believe that this term is over and this is my last blog entry!  When I first started this class I’m not going to lie I was a little nervous about having to make my own blog and add weekly posts.  My computer skills don’t exceed using word, checking my email, and being able [...]

Internet Crimes March 10, 2009

As Wood and Smith discuss in chapter 9 of their book anyone can place anything they want on the internet these days, prime example is Wikipedia.com a worldwide information based website where the information is posted by anyone and everyone.  I found an article online that talks about writer Jacqueline Gonzalez who was a columnist [...]

Wild Card!! March 3, 2009

This week’s Blogging topic was the “wild card” theme were we had the opportunity to write about any internet experience that we have had with communication.  The experience I decided to write about was an incident I had with a friend not too long ago, it was a conversation we had on the new Facebook [...]

Three Generations February 22, 2009

I had a lot of fun with this blog because I got to interview 3 people that are very close to me and see how different they’re opinions were on the internet.  I started out with my Aunt Lindy who is 37 years old, and busy mom of two.  I began my interview with the [...]

Discussion Group February 17, 2009

When I first read what this week’s assignment was I got a little concerned because I have never joined a online discussion group besides myspace and facebook, so I had no idea where to start looking for my new group.  However I was surprised at how easy it was to join an online group and [...]

Sources February 10, 2009

If I had to write a paper right now I would choose the topic; how technology has advanced our society in the past 20 years.  I like this topic because first of all it is something that I am interested in, therefore I would be more willing to take the time to research the topic.  [...]

Letters to Loved Ones February 3, 2009

The two people that have influenced me the most are my parents, so I decided to write my mom a hand written letter and my dad an email.  The reason I chose to not write my mom the email was simply because she is not very internet/computer inclined, therefore I didn’t even think she would [...]

Facebook!! January 27, 2009

I remember back in high school when the whole myspace epidemic first started, and at the beginning I was so against it.  I kept telling myself I would never be like the rest of the school whose day revolved around getting online and checking to see if they got a new comment or if someone [...]

So Much Cooler Online! January 20, 2009

I watched Brad Paisleys So Much Cooler Online music video, and thought the idea of the song was so true, I loved it!  It starts out with this nerdy pizza delivery guy who delivers pizzas to your typical rude jock who is a real jerk to him at the door.  The pizza guy ends up [...]

Abstinence January 13, 2009

The day that I chose to abstain from any internet activity was this past Saturday.  The reason I chose Saturday was because I had a basketball game so I figured I would be busy most of the day, running from shoot around, to pre game, and then finally the big game, hopefully keeping my mind [...]
