PSN

Come on Sony get your systems working right.  Does anyone else play playstation 3?  Over two weeks ago Sony shutdown the playstation network because it was hacked.  Saying that it would only take about one or two days to get back up we still wait.
Many people are very mad at the fact that Sony keeps saying one thing and not holding up on what they say.  After the two days Sony said it would be a week.  Well a week past and people were still waiting.  Then they said it would be back on May 3rd...nothing then may 5th and once again nothing.  Now the timetable is somewhere between May 11th and 3-6 weeks from now....  Anyone else thinks this if absurd???

LA Sadness

What happened to the Lakers in their series?  I mean a sweet from the Mavs and on top of the Lamar Odem and Andrew Bynum get tossed from the game in a matter of a minuet.  Come on La it looks like you just quit on the best coach ever in the history of the NBA Phil Jackson.  If i was Jackson I would be embarrassed on how the team played in my last coaching game.
Now what will happen?? The Lakers just quit on Phil and quit on the city of Los Angeles.  I would hate to be a laker fan right now because the way they treated the Mavs and then the way they "fought" for Phil in this series.  What do you think is right for the Lakers now.

Favorite Topic

My favorite topic question was how the internet or web changed over the past ten years.  The reason for that was because it really made me think about how things have really changed of over the past ten years or more.  It made me realize that yes things have changed but it also has shown me that some things are better.  However there is another reason that the net or web made me think.  
With the way that the web has changed it has proven that there is more information then we can handle or know.  It has helped me recognize that there is more out there then just the three or four items that I tend to look up.  The web is part of technology and as technology grows the web will grow.  Only time will tell what is next.    

Pick Number 254

Whats the deal with the final pick in the NFL draft being called Mr. Irrelevant? All I really know is that they have a party for the last pick of the draft and not one for the first pick...  It started in 1976 and ever since then the very last pick every year has been named Mr. Irrelevant.  Is that fair to the guy who gets drafted last?
This year Cheta Ozougwu is Mr. Irrelevant.  From my understanding he is a hard working DE from Rice University.  Will he hake the Texans?  Most likely not but still he will have the title of that for the rest of his life.  I am sure no one wants that title bestowed on them no matter what.

Rights to Privacy 2

Internet and Technology has affected the way privacy has evolved.  There are different ways to understand the way that privacy has been evolved.  However there are ways that technology has changed that still wont protect our privacy.  Every day more and more people are loosing their privacy because of hackers and problems with network.
A week ago the playstation network went down.  As of yesterday they admitted that people's privacy has been hacked and stolen.  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/26/sony-playstation-network-down-ps3_n_853695.html  lists what has happened.  With all this happening it is clear that our privacy is not safe.

Rights to Privacy

I feel like it is important for individuals to have rights of privacy.  Without it there would be no way to keep anything we want safe.  With our own right of privacy we are able to block things we want to be kept a secret.  Privacy is used to keep things secret from public knowable.  

With all that we use it is helpful to keep things private.  Without our privacy where would we be?  To me we would be nowhere but back in the stone ages.  Privacy is main to everyone and should continue to be accepted and promised to all.       

Change

What would I change about copyright law if I could.  Well first I would let people have one free download of a movie or music or anything like that.  Then I would start to charge a feel to download something like Apple.  Only difference is that everything would be .99 cents.  Then monitor who downloads what.
With that being said I know it will be hard to track what is downloaded and by who.  There could be a small tag added to each clip downloaded so it can be tracked.  The tag could be tracked to see if it is on multi platforms or what.  With that you can see how it is used.

Copyright.

Yes, I have been tempted to break copyright protection. Who hasn't? Nowadays, it seems very easy to do and it seems like you won't ever get caught.  With it being so easy to download a program to rip software or download a movie via internet has never been easier.  Here are ways to do that.
Take illegally downloaded music, for example. File sharing sights like Frostwire make file sharing quick and easy to do. We all know that it's illegal and that it breaks copyright protection, but a lot of people do it anyway.  Then we have a site like Pirate Bay that lets you get software, movies, games, and music just like that.  It is just very simplay to do something like this and we have people who do it all the time.

3G

Is 3G really the important to all people who have smart phones?  To me 3G is important.  If people with AT&T have smart phones then they realize the 3G is important to them.  It took AT&T about three or four times longer to receive it in Murray.  For reasons unknown there was a huge wait for it in Murray.
3G is "The Fastest" mobile internet.  Well for AT&T it is the fastest however they are going through a buyout with T Mobile.  Verizon has had 3G in Murray for the past year.  Now with 4G just around the corner for smart phones we will see what will happen next.  Will it take Murray another 2-3 years??    

Topic 2

How do I stop plagiarism in my work?  Well for starters I always check to make sure the work I use is credited and that there is documented works with it.  Second I always site my work not matter how long the information I use from the article is.  It is proper to site your work or you can be charged with plagiarism which we all know is very very bad.  

Problems that I could have if I don't site my work.  Well fro starters I could be kicked out of school.  Second of all I could go to jail and we all know you don't want to drop the soap for Bubba!! So in kind words don't plagiarize.    

Red

http://www.google.com/cse/home?cx=017960193038947448634:hp6eoilioaq&hl=en
My topic is the Cincinnati Reds.  The reason I chose the Reds was because they are my favorite baseball team.  They also have one of the most young known talent.  The sites I used were twitter, yahoo, espn, cbssports, cincinnati.com, mlb.com, sportsillistrated.com, redreporter.com, and baseball-almanac.com.
The reason that I chose those sites are mainly because they each contain information on the Cincinnati Reds.  They give stats, stats, bios, and other important information about my topic.  With each site you can choose what to look at.  For example twitter is used to follow the team or even players. 

Google

Honestly the only Google product I actually use is Google search.  At times I might use Google docs to help my father with something or to check upcoming fraternity events.  Other then that I really don't use any other products on my computer.  Now i do have the Google app on my phone but I honestly don't use it much.  For reasons I honestly don't know.
Now when it come to me why I don't use more then the app I have and the Google search is because those are really the only two things I actually like.  I honestly have no main reason on why I don't use anything else.  I guess the only main reason I don't use anything else is because I like just being simple and not using anything else really.  

Wikipedia

I honestly don't feel safe about people being able to change information on Wikipedia.  To mean someone can create their own spot and write whatever they want about them self.  Now when it is important information and they don't have the updated parts available to see then I think it would be okay to change something.  Now when you want to just be stupid and change things then it should not be allowed.  there is no reason for someone to make up something and change anything they want.
Honestly I would not change anything on Wikipedia.  I believe that there is no reason for a random person like me to change it.  I actually have no reason to want to change any information.  Now if I find out something is fake and wrong I am willing to find out the right information and change it but that would be the only reason.        

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.
