  • My topic is about a new virtual way to do things onine almost like skype but something even better than you would expect.

  •  There is a new video app coming out called the vidyo and it is teaming up with nintendo to make a newer version of what many people already use. It is sorta like skype but it is more virtual in a way.You can talk to grandma or talk to old frineds that may have moved away and you are not able to see them anymore. It is a good tool to use and many doctors use it for there patients in the hopstial when they are not able to go see them face to face, 


  • I think this is pretty cool to have and it seems like it is easy enoug to figure out. It also makes it easier for people to use if your family is away somewhere like the military.

        It makes me want to try it out with other family members that I do not live clsoe to anymore and it saeems fun to me and looks cool 

It will become another new technology tool that many people will use and also many people already have it or may have used it and they didnt know that they have.

Weekly blog spot

This week we learned about how many people get messed over with credit cards so the terms we used.are scams-an attempt to trick someone usually with the intention of stealing personal information andor,money,Indentify theft-a type of crime or which your private iinformation is stolen and used for criminal activity,volerable-for a position that makes it easier for you to be harmed or attacked,Phishing-when people send photos,emails,pop-up messages social network messages and rhings like that in order to teach you into givng on your password and finanial information. 

Our digital literancy was how many people lose there indentity because of stupid people thinking they can get away with it by taking there social number,name, age,banks account number and many other things. That messes up a lot of people lives and it makes them have to start all over again on there life's brand new.

I think learning about this new information is good because I can be aware of things now before like when I am online I will be more careful when I see things pop up now so when I do have a job and in the future have credit cards I will make sure to be extra careful.  


.This makes me upset because thngs like this happen to my mom when she first got a credit card and a week later someone stole her money. This makes me aware of things I buy and when i do to the store and people need my bank number and things like that.

Weekly blog post

Well learning new vocabulary this week was interesting because of the words we actually learned about we already knew but,we just have a different meaning for them.Track means when companies collect information about you based on your online behavior or actions,Target is when companies get content off your profile based on the information you look up,Demographic is common categories of a population such as gender,race and or eye color,and finally cookies means data files that companies keep folders of what you  use

We used a new tool called Mixbook this tool is like a auto book on the internet you can put photo's,things about life on it and make a graphic book about anything from family reuions to wedding's.
 http://www.mixbook.com/home 

A positive thing about using Mixbook is that you can make a graphic book online about anything with family the negatitive part about this it is very diffcult to use,everytime you add pictures you would have to save all of them or keep exiting out and logging into it again. overall it is a good thing to use if you want to be creative with things.You just have to be tech smart.  

Our digitlal literancy this week was how to act online when pop-up's and spam comes up,also how to act when giving personal information away even to something that is good. When you are online and all of a sudden things pop up about what you may be trying to search that is companies trying to get your attention and your personal information. 

Ways to avoid being scammed online and get your personal information taken is to watch scam's and be very careful when doing things online,also watch when you are buying things online.Keep your password private and do not give it to anyone not even your bestfriends. 

This effect me personality because I will be more careful about giving my things away like email and other important things. I will also watch out for pop-ups instead of just clicking random things.

This week has been good and we finally have got into our building, also next week will be our first full week and we have spirit week what could be better.

My topic is about a wireless compnay has came yp with the idea of wireless car's that would have to be charged like a cell phone or other devices.

Qualcomm Halo;inside the tech of the world's largest wireless car charging trial.

slashgear.com/qualcomm-halo-inside-the-tech-of-the-worlds-largest-wireless-car-charging-trial-07255855/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed

The company wireless charging has made headlines in the padt couple weeks. A  new tool has set them off the charts in the UK called the Qualcomm halo. They are targeting the things that live in your garage on a day to day rather living in your pockets. As google is coming out with the new nexus 4 and the Nokia's lumia 420. They are seeing the future of electic and hybrid urband cars being wire-free.


I think this would be a cool new inventon of the future just think cars you would not have to put gas in and all you have to do is charge them. It makes me want to buy a car like that so I would not have to wait money on gas and wont hae to worry about hte gas prices going up.

This will take over the world because everyone will be wanting to buy one becuase of the gas prices beiing the way they are. It would soon probably take over and many people will either love them or hate them depends if you want to save money or not... I think people woiuld want to save money.
