Collaborative Idea

I feel we should make a screenplay and base a story off of that because i feel that will be easier than some of the other things. We could also write a short story and try and think of many different kinds of ideas through the brainstorming website. We could create our own writing for the 21st century website and attach all of our stories to it. Then off of that website everybody can read each others story and leave feedback on them. Also we could create characters for our short stories and maybe have them act the story out. There are many different ideas and i feel any of these ideas would work and it would be better than writing a long research paper. This would be a different kind of writing style and it would give people a different look on writing and other things based on writing.

Future Life on the Internet

I feel this video was a different kind of video because they already have the future all planned out. This seems weird to me because i feel you cant go and tell what is going to happen to everything i feel it was all an educated guess. Its weird how the things of the future look like reality tv on the computer and actually feel like your at the superbowl or being at a war that was a whole new kind of thing that kind of shocked me. Also how they feel amazon and google will buy out all the other companies and be the main people on the web. This was a strong belief that these people have on the future and who knows maybe it will work out that way but i feel everything doesnt always work out the way you really want it to.

Email Etiquette Notes

1. Have proper punctuation.
2. Dont respond in all CAPS because it seems like your shouting.
3. Double check your email to make sure its all right.
4. Its ok to answer an email within the original email.
5. Avoid large files.

Focused Freewriting

I think its pretty crazy how much search engines have grown. Like google and wikipedia being better than the encyclopedia. Also how much news works to get to you like we dont even have to bother going out and looking for news it comes to us. Its pretty crazy how much twitter, facebook, and myspace have grown and how they have upped technology a lot and now you can post something from your phone and you never have to be on your computer. These things are taking control of how we communicate now days or how we look up things on the internet. Eventually technology will do everything for you and you will never have to do things.
