Technology

Smart phones are only getting smarter. As time goes on technology is only advancing and getting better. One  article on CNN states that smartphones will eventually not have screens any more. this article goes on to say talk about how they will have bio metric security along with 3D graphics. This means that your smart phone will have 3 dimensional images coming out of your phone like in a futuristic sci-fi movie. The bio metric security system will involve the phone recognizing your finger print, viewing your face, and even paying close attention to how you swipe the screen; although there are many other things phones may be able to do in the future, these are some that were mentioned on CNN. There is a link below to the article for those who would like to read it. It's short but it is interesting.

Voki or Blabberize?

I think that Voki was better overall. There are a lot more features to be used in Voki. with Blabberize you can only make a persons mouth move and have them talk. However with Voki people may create an avatar, and change its looks. The avatar may look however you want it to. There are also numerous avatars to choose from. There are animals and people; there are even smiley faces and Digimon. Overall Voki has more features and is very user friendly.

Netsmartz

I watched the "Your Photo Fate" video on Netsmartz. In the video a teenage girl receives a text fro someone asking for a "hot" pic of her. The video shows what could happen if she sent one or if she decided not to send a picture. In the video if she sent a photo the boy could have showed his friends, who may have passed the picture on to their friends and the photo could end up all over the place. But if she made the right choice and did not send it, then nothing would have happened.

Digital Footprint

I am proud of a lot of things. I am proud of my sports and my work ethic. I am proud of my family. I am not really surprised to see anything. there aren't any pictures of me on the internet that i found. I am not embarrassed about anything, i don't get embarrassed easily because there is no reason for me to be embarrassed of anything. I can think carefully about what i do in the future, and portray the kind of image of me that i want people to see.

I thought the movie was alright. Most of the comments were really childish, but the movie did have meaning to it. A lot of cases that deal with cyber bullying are similar to the one that took place in the movie. Things that are said over the internet don't seem to have as much meaning as when you say something to a persons face.
