My mom Tina works for The Lucas County Board of Development Disabilities. She is a Habilitation Specialist and works with mentally and physically handicapped adults. She writes goals for them and works with them to help them become more independent. To get this job, my mom had to have a Bachelors in Special Education and Social Work. She graduated from The University of Toledo and Bowling Green. Getting up in the morning can sometimes be an issue for my mom because it is at the same time my brothers and I get up for school and so she has to help my brothers get ready. She has to make sure my brothers eat breakfast and get on the bus. When asked about what she thinks about her job and getting up in the morning my mom answered, "I don't love it, but I enjoy it. I like the clients I work with but not really the staff."

My dad Jeff works for a software program called Great Lakes Cam. He is a Software Technician who travels all around Michigan teaching classes and training people on how to use certain software and file programs. Sometimes my dad works from home on his laptop, and spends a lot of time on it. Other times he will be gone for a day or two because he has to go to Traverse City or Chelsea and sometimes even Lansing. A two-year associates degree specialized in Drafting and Design is needed to qualify for this job. When asked about what he thinks about his job my dad answered, "I like my job. Not so much the training but I like the staff and things I get to do." Getting up early in the morning isn't something my dad really worries about because most of the time he works from home and can sleep in.

Reflection

Technology is important in this world for many reasons. We are able to use it as a GPS, look up information, and even communicate with other people. Over the past 5 years, technology has changed by modernizing itself and people make more things possible and do-able with them. We have a faster way of doing things. Over the next 5 years it will become less complicated and easier to use. It will have more things able to be done on it. I use technology a lot in my life, not only for home entertainment but for school too. I use the Internet a lot by looking up information, asking questions, and even typing an essay. For my entertainment, I go on my iPhone and Snapchat people, go on Facebook or Instagram, or just play some games. From Online A I learned a lot about new websites and how to use them. The one thing I will probably use the most would be the flashcards. I will use it to study for other classes to print off. This is also one of the most practical things to use because it can be used for any age it's easier, and even more fun, to study with flashcards than anything else. The one thing I know I will definitely never use again would be Audacity. I hate having to record my voice and I don't like listening to it either. My favorite thing to do was the presentation about countries because the country I had, Australia, is my favorite and I loved getting to spend my time learning more and more about the country. My least favorite was anything that had to do with recording my voice because not only was it embarrassing, but every time I had to record I happened to be sick.

Status Cloud

Status Cloud is an app on facebook, where it takes the words you post into a cloud of a bunch of words. The bigger the word, the more often you use it. Its interesting to see this and all the words I use more than others.

Cyber-Bullying Movie

This movie, Cyberbully, was a very dramatic and depressing movie. In this movie a teenager is bullied after getting a online chat account which is almost like a twitter. She is called names and made fun of and everyone can see these comments. The bullying continued at school and got so bad that she tried to commit suicide. This story is based on a true event that happened to a 13 year old girl, and in my opinion this is a very sad and depressing movie. I cried. Nobody deserves to be bullied or treated this way, and nobody needs to be pushed so far where they think suicide is the only solution. Everyone who sees this movie will feel bad and think more about people who get bullied and how they need to speak up.

Netiquette

Netiquette is Network plus Etiquette and that gives you Netiquette. The Network is Cyberspace, the internet, and being online. Etiquette is the proper way to behave, or forms required in social or official life. This together gives you netequette. A set of rules for behaving properly online. Netiquette affects everyone on the internet,all online users. Some good netiquettes are knowing what your writing about and using proper grammer, and don't take advantage of someone if you know more information than them. Some examples of poor netiquettes are reading through people's emails and not respecting their privacy.
