Finals: Google

I never realized how important Google is for the modern society. People use Google for practically everything. Searches, images, videos, maps,  & even news. This company is useful because it gives us information that maybe we can't find in our regular everyday lives. But, Google also stores your information from every search you make or every video you look up. That is something that I completely disagree with though. I feel as if it is a violation of our Bill of Rights. Our computer is our own private property so shouldn't we make our searches in private as well? But to fix that, watch what you may search on Google. If you don't want your Grandmother to read it, then you probably don't want everyone at Google to read it either. Also, a job at Google sounds completely awesome!! (: I wonder how the inventors even came up with the idea of Google? It sounds so complicated & exhausting to work at Google or even own it! I don't know if I could keep up with the business going on there everyday with all the computers & paper going around. Takes a true genius to run a place of such brilliance like Google.

The Virtual Revolution

Humanity goes through it's stages. We have an industrial revolution. Then the first car was built. Now, we have entered the internet revolution. Today's society needs internet for practically everything. For jobs, at home, or for maybe some entertainment. Bringing the web to the rest of the world is a huge project for us to advance as a whole. The internet opens knowledge to all of us. Those of us who don't have any idea what is going on in the world need this kind of knowledge. The internet is important, whether you realize it or not... Share it.

Cloud Computing

Some of you have heard of the Cloud. But do you honestly know what it does? Per say, when you download a movie to your new phone, the Cloud will push the movie from your phone to your laptop or any other electronical device in your house like your TV. Now I think that is pretty neat!

Video in Class Today

My personal opinion on this video, I would have to say is quite scarey. When I get on the internet to search something, I'm hoping that what I search is private to me or to who I choose to share it with. Knowing that the internet will take my older searches & use them in Ad's on other web pages that I get on, just shows me the the web pays a little too close attention of what kind of things I like or what I search. Yes, it can be helpful but is it completely appropriate? It scares me to know also that other people can use my searches to find out what kind of person I am too. Not cool with me. I don't want complete strangers involved in my life...

Music Licensing

Putting a license on music is good but then is also a hassle. Some artists don't want their song to be used for a commercial that they probably don't support. But, going through all the steps to get the song you want to use is a huge burden. And it also costs alot of money to use that song as well. So what is your opinion about this? Should we keep music licensed or no??
