Friday August 30

My hobbies and extracurricular activities involve working out.  I play basketball and soccer for the high school.  I also play for club teams.  Along with those things I go to lifetime everyday to workout.  I enjoy being with friends also.  I spend the little free time I have at home doing homework or at a friends house.  My favorite color is pink.  I love everything that is pink.  Most people who know me or are close to me know my love for that color.  My favorite sport differs depending on the season of the sport.  During basketball season I like basketball more, but during soccer season I like soccer more.  My favorite TV show is probably CSI, Criminal Minds, Law and Order or any show similar to that.  I dont have an exact favorite show.  I am a pretty flexible person to be around.

Some qualities of a good presentation are to be outgoing and have a good presentation.  Talking in a monotone voice makes you not have as interesting of a presentation and people wont be as likely to listen and pay attention.  If you add pictures into your presentations that makes them more interesting as well.  When there are pictures added into presentations it makes it easier for the audience to pay attention because they have something to look at.  The same goes for colors.  When presentations have colors in them it makes them much more fun to pay attention to.  Adding sounds and animations between slides helps make a presentation more interesting as well.  Those are just a few of the many ways to make your presentation more lively and interesting.

I agree with this statement.  I believe that is images posted on the internet are free game.  If you post something online everyone will be seeing it.  If you didn't want your images being used by other you shouldn't post it publicly.  Taking credit for an image that is on the internet that is not yours is not right though.  If you are using a picture and take credit for it when it is not yours I think that it isn't okay because you did not take the image.  You should be allowed to use these images if you cite them.  If you give the photographer credit for the image they took you should be able to use it.  Overall I think that it is okay to use pictures posted by others online.

The importance of online safety and protecting your information is very important.  There are many people in the world who will look up profiles and find out information.  The fact that someone could know all of your information just from a social media site is scary.  To protect myself online I do not post personal information.  I never put my phone number, address, or other information out there.  I have never been exposed to an online safety issue yet, nor has anyone I know.  But there are many stories about things that have happened.  Many people are not very smart about things that they post or where they post it to.  As long as you as cautious and aware of what you are doing everything should be okay.  Online safety is a very important topic.  More people in the world need to be more aware of the severity of things that could happen to them due to not being aware of the outcomes of online safety.

What I know about Web 2.0 is that the websites associated with Web 2.0 consume most peoples lives, especially teens.  The sites that I am on that let me post information are Twitter, Facebook, Vine, Pinterest, Youtube, and Ask.fm.  Although I only use Twitter and Instagram on a regular basis I still have made accounts for the other social media pages.  I ocassionly get onto Facebook to look at pictures people have posted.  I enjoy Pinterest as well.  Before bed or during down time is a good time to use Pinterest for me.  I use Twitter and Instagram quite often, I usually check those applications every couple of hours.  I use Instagram to post pictures on a daily basis.  I use Twitter to reply back to friends, say what I am doing, or post pictures.

            After watching the clip of Ashton Kutcher’s acceptance speech what I took away is the importance and essence of having knowledge and thoughtfulness.  In the clip Ashton said that having knowledge and being thoughtful has more importance than other things in life, which I agree with.  I think people who are more knowledgeable and have a thorough education go farther in life.  Not only do they go farther but they also have extra knowledge known as common sense.  When people have common sense it helps for them to make the right decisions throughout their lives.  In his speech he also talked about being thoughtful.  I think that this has a major impact on people and the outcome of their lives and every day they live.  People who think about others and not just themselves have many more acquaintances and friends in their lives.  Being thoughtful and knowledgeable has a lot more meaning than what people truly think.

            I believe that the quote he said in his speech means that everyone has their own smarts.  Some people are smarter at certain things than others.  Billions of things have been invented and billions of ideas have been thought of throughout all of these years.  But along with those things there is a need and always will be a need for each and every person to make it into their own ideas using their knowledge.  Everyone is capable of making something their own.  Just because some people may be more successful than others does not mean they are less knowledgeable.  All people in the world have the ability to do things such as change, influence, build, and much more by using their own knowledge.  Everyone has their own unique ways and ideas when it comes to being knowledgeable.
