Fair Use

For fair use, you are allowed to use up to 10% for texts, and 1000 words for things like essays and articles. You may use a single photograph, but no more than 5 by the same author. You may use up to 10%, but no more than 15 images from a single publication. You can use up to 10%, but no more than 3 minutes from a single movie, TV show, or song.

Some of the advantages of having a Flickr account is that you can upload your photos to the website so that people can view them and have them on their Flickr account in a gallery. I personally think that this is a great website for social media interaction. I know that I will be using this website a lot!

Reflection

Over the past few weeks, we have learned a lot about online safety. Being safe online is very important, and one thing that you can do is to be aware of the website you are on. If you thing that this website will give you viruses, than get off of it immediately. Also, we have learned about cyber bullying. Cyber bullying can be very difficult for someone to go through, so if you know someone who is being bullied online, you need to tell an adult, tell them to block the person, and save all of the evidence so you can go to the police if you need to. We have also learned about  how identity theft can completely ruin families, and how often it really does happen. One of the most important things you need to know is that about half of the time this happens, it is by someone you know.

RSS Feed Assignment

1. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication 2. It works by bringing information to you without actually going to your website. 3. The two benefits to using one is that it brings you information quicker, and the reader gets timely updates on a regular basis in one spot 4. RSS feeds bring the information straight to your website without going to your website, a feed reader has a stripped down, though configurable, three-pane interface similar to Net News Wire on Mac OS X, and an aggregator is a Web-based or installed application that aggregates related, frequently updated content from various Internet sources and consolidates it in one place for viewing 5. An RSS feed is a Google reader product. 6. The user subscribes to a feed by entering the reader’s feeds URL or by clicking an RSS icon in a web browser that initiates the subscription process 7. It costs nothing

New Technology

This article is about how robots are becoming more useful in our society. It says that over 1.1 million robots are used as industrial workers. In the future, robots will be able to perform tasks such as medics, traffic police, bionic enhancements, and even soldiers! Advances are even being made in the making of the robot, as they may be able to swim, shape-shift, and learn to fly. I am very excited about the future with all of these new robots and new technologies, and i hope you are to!

Christmas Break

I had a very fun Christmas break. My basketball team had an early practice almost everyday, which wasn't that bad. We played in a tournament on the 27th and 28th, but we lost both of our games. On Christmas Eve my mom's side of the family went over to my Grandma Sharon's house for dinner and presents. On Christmas morning my family went to church for the first time in several years, so it felt really good. Then i went over to my dad's for presents and dinner at his house with his side of our family. On New Years Eve i had a few of my friends over and we played ping pong for most of the night and had a really nice time. Over the span of the break I started watching a TV show called "Breaking Bad", and it is slowly turning into my favorite show. On the last day of break I watched this for about 6 hours after my practice. This is how i spent my Christmas break.
