Tactics


Apple developers have taken the time to create many different things for us.  We start with things like the iPad, iPodm and iPhone along with the app store and music store.  Through those stores you can pretty much find anything you need.  I mean come on Apple has a app for everything.  Added on to all of the iStuff Apple had developed a range of Mac Books for people to buy and us.  Their tactics are good for students and children because the iPhone is pretty much all you need for daily life.
With Google it has changed the way we search for information.  We use to and still have search engins like Yahoo, Ask Jeevs, and Dogpile.  Now we have Google and the billion plus hits it has a day.  Plus Google has gmail, docs, and even a bookstore.  The tatics with that are just as simple as apple because it targets everyone.

Changing the Years!


Over the past ten year the internet has changed many things.  It has led to things like Pandora, eBay, and the emergence of social networking.  By social networking I mean sites like Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter.  All of those sites have lead to many different ways to communicate with other around the world rather it's by tweeting, facebooking or skypeing there is a way that you can contact anyone you want.  What has it done for me?
With Facebook I am not able to keep up with friends from High School and even find friends from my childhood.  With Skype I am able to talk to friends around the world.  With Pandora I have been able to find free internet radio that allows me to crate my own station with what music I want.  With both Myspace and Facebook you can check out people music.  Even Youtube has helped people get videos out in the world. What has it done for you?

Chad Ochocinco


As we have seen on ESPN recently Chad Ochocinco had decided to go play soccer since the football season is already lost.  But honestly what is he thinking. He is a football player not a soccer player.  Now the strange thing about ti all is that he says that soccer is his number 1 passion.  If that's so then where does that leave football?  On top of that where will he be playing next season?
First off why play a sport that's not your number 1 passion?  The reason for that would be money, but if he is sick and tired of the Bengals why does he resign and not play the retirement card like Carson Palmer?  No one knows what goes on in Ochocinco's mind.  With that being said will he play football when another season starts or will he stick with soccer?  What is your opinion on this.

Do I believe the internet or not??


In truth I don't always believe what I read on the internet.  There are many reasons why but the main reason would have to be the fact that anything can be changed at any time.  There is no clear way to tell if the site you are on is real or fake.  Then they might just want to make up different ideas and try to fool you with different time of information.  With that said here is my opinion on the entire situation on information on the internet.
Information just like everything else is always changing over time on the internet and in real life.  There is really no real way to tell if something is real or just fake.  Also anyone can post anything just look at Wikipedia for example it contains information that is changed by different people all the time.  So can you choose to believe what is on sites like this or is there a different way for you to tell what is real or not.

Internet Advertisements.


The internet is full of different ways to bring advertisements to people.  Many of those are easy to see but some can be difficult to spot.  On all that said there are also different ways to feel about it.  To me there is no right way to feel towards advertisements on the internet.  They are there to promote products to the consumers that visit the sites.
Advertisements are good to a certain extent.  When it is clear that the only reason someone has created a website just to sell advertisements you know that it can be a good site to visit.  There really is no easy way to let you know how I feel about a advertisement being on a website I visit.  I honestly don't pay that much attention to them when I visit different sites.

NFL


What will a 18 game season do to the future of football?  How will it change what we know today?  Both of these questions are good things to think about in the future.  This is what people are things about as the NFC continues its collective bargaining agreement.  Even as we speak the NFL is still trying to work out kinks to see if there is going to be another seasons next year.
With the addition of two more games we the fans will be able to watch a sport we love for two extra weeks.  It would allow the NFL to make more money and have a bigger fan base.  Now what would it mean for the players?  It would absolutely mean more work for them which is one thing most would not enjoy.  That is the biggest problem that most players would have.  All of this is something to watch out for in the future.

Learned


So far this semester I have learned many different things from class.  Each lesson that we have gone over in class has been very influential.  I have learned how to use databases that I have never really used before.  I have learned more about citing in more then MLA.  I've also learned about many different types of information.
Also I have learned how to tell the difference between the Dewey Decimal System and the Library of Congress Classifications.  I have learned to to write blogs and ask better questions to find information.  I have learned the difference between Scholarly and Popular journals.  I have also learned how to navigate through different databases.  All of these have healed me get a better understanding of different library techniques.

Databse Topic 2


I honestly don't use databases for multiple reasons.  First off I have not really had to do a ample amount of research using databases.  That is one reason why I don't really use databases.  Another reason is that I just never really thought to go and look for different databases to sue when I need to do research.  The other reason is that there are just to many to choose from.
Each teacher is different when it comes to writing papers.  Some teachers actually make you use different databases to find information out for papers others just give you a choice on where you can search for it.  When it comes to those different choices it is hard to decide on what to exactly use.  Some may use Academic Search some may use a different one when it come to requirements.  All of that Factors in on if I decide to use a database or now when I am looking to do research.
