My freshman year in Computer Literacy

In computer literacy I learned a lot of things. I learned all about various programs that can probably help me out in the future. I also learned that this class isn't as easy as it looked. However, it isn't quite as hard either. What I liked best about this course is doing these blog posts. It's a shame I have to lease k12, along with this course, but I wish all readers a great summer, and next year!

Being a good digital citizen

I think it is easier to be mean to someone online than offline. I think this is so because it's easier to find someone to be mean to. We could just look up a random user on a random website and start bullying them. Since the internet is so popular, this makes it even more so. So we should remember to treat everyone like we treat ourselves, because this could affect our future.

Copy cat

I believe people who illegally download or copy music, movies, games, etc. should be not punished. Mainly because being punished over something silly like listening songs or movies is very silly. Also, you can look at most songs on the internet for free, but you can't download it for free? Seems very ridiculous if you ask me. All people want to do is watch a movie without punishment, and I think that's how it should be.

Once it's here, it's here

Have you ever heard the phrase: “Once it’s on the Internet, it’s there forever”? Well, do you know what that means? It means that if you post something on the internet, it's there forever, even of you remove it. My advice is, before you post something on the internet, be sure to look it over carefully, whether it's a simple comment, or something more complex. If you do that, everything will be just fine for you.

Test of Strength

 Test of strength is an article about how technology and personal training affect your workout. It talks about several apps that help you with personal training, discussing their ups and downs. I feel that this article is very helpful with finding the right trainer/app. The article taught me that trainers may be more expensive, but they certainly have advantages. If you want to read the article, here's the link: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/12/technology/personaltech/workout-test-myfitnesspal-and-fitstar-vs-personal-trainer.html?ref=technology&_r=0
