Voki vs. Blabberize

I liked using Voki more because the mouth was already set where it needed to be and moved on it's own. All you had to do was change the appearance and plug in your audio. I think the Blabberize website could be used in other classes because you'd be able to take an important person from the subject you're researching/presenting and 'blabberize' them.

Rebecca Black’s Parents Vs. Ark Music Factory

Rebecca Black’s parents paid Ark Music Factory to make their daughter, Rebecca Black, a professional-looking music video. At first it was just a video for her friends and family to watch, and then it went viral. When it went viral, Ark Music Factory started getting at the Black’s over who owned the copyright of the song, since it was making lots of money for the Black’s. The brief summary is that Jey and Wilson held the original rights to the composition, while Black probably holds the copyright on the recording itself (though, there may be some questions about the musicians who played on the track). The Rolling Stone Report on it says that "the agreement that she signed with Ark in November stipulates that Black has 100 percent ownership and control of 'Friday,' including the master recording and the music video." Of course, that probably includes the copyright on the composition, but it might not, if the contract isn't explicit. Who owns the master recording and the video is meaningless to the copyright question. If the contract only focuses on that, then Jey and Wilson conceivably could still hold the copyright on the composition.

Tracking Teresa

1. ) What personal information did Teresa give out?
 Her name, phone number, and e-mail address.
2. ) Have you ever put personal information on the Internet?
 Yes.
3. ) According to Deputy Krupp, what is the most important thing to remember when using the internet?
 Whatever you put out there, stays out there, maybe forever.

The video I watched was about a guy who wanted a picture from a girl, she said yes and sent it to him. He was with his buddies and to be "cool" he showed them. One friend asked him to send it to him, he sent it, and then that friend said he had to send it to his friend Mark. Mark sent it to other people, those people sent it to other people, and then it eventually was sent to the girls brother, and then her parents. Watch what you send!

Netiquette

Netiquette is like etiquette, but on the internet. It is being polite and understanding that the person on the other side of the computer also has feelings. If you hurt these peoples feelings, you are not practicing good netiquette. When on the computer you should always treat others the way you want to be treated, that is practicing good netiquette. If you wouldn't say it to the persons face then dont say it to someone over the internet, that's practicing bad netiquette.

Technology Article

Scientists have found something in the universe that travels faster then the speed of light, which was once to be thought of as the fastest moving thing in the universe. They are called neutrinos. On a journey which was 454 miles, this atomic particle traveled only 61 billionths of a second faster then the speed of light. This discovery, if verified, will throw off Einstein's theory completely.

RSS

An RSS feed is something where a website will send you their updates so you don't have to go to the website everytime you want to see if they updated something. RSS feeds save a lot of time because you don't have to go to every site to check and see if they have updated anything recently. Instead, the updates come to you. I think it will be useful to me because in school, I only have so much time in one class and the less time I spend looking for the sites and for my information, the more time I will have to put into my assignment.

Delicious

a) Delicious is a website that is used to bookmark your favorite websites. The difference between delicious and your bookmarks under your browser's name, is that with Delicious, it is opened as a webpage, so that way instead of only being able to access your favorites on only your computer, you can access your Delicious account, which has all your favorites, anywhere that has internet access.

b) I think this website it very useful. If I ever miss a day of school and need to do homework for this class, I can always just go on my Delicious account and I'll have all the websites I need to finish my homework. Also, if I'm at home and find a website that I could use in school, instead of memorizing the URL, I can just save it and then access the website from the school's network.

c) I can use it to help me with homework if I ever miss a day, but I don't think I will use it much in my personal life because I rarely ever use a friend's computer, if I'm on a computer, it's most likely going to be mine.

Technology and Me

I use technology for all sorts of things, I use technology to send texts to my friends, and to find information on the web. I sometimes use my computer to play games, and download music. I'm always using my iPod, which I also have apps that let me communicate with other people. That is how I use technology.
