The Best (and Worst) of 4 Websites

Facebook   Facebook has a large varieties of users and members. The layout of the website is efficient and easy. Joining the site is simple enough that a sixth grader can create an account. The many uses of having an account is wall posts, status updates, "liking", commenting, event pages, calendar updates, page follows and "likes". My own personal use is for a business page to reach out to clients on newest products and updates. Facebooks layout is simple and has three tabs in the left corner for feed, messenger, and profile. Another feature of the relaxed layout is the side bar that gives you the links to different applications Facebook has to offer; such as the events, page follows, groups, calendar, messenger and such.  LinkedIn LinkedIn is a website I am just getting used to. So far I have found it somewhat accessible. I created an account and have connected with eight people as well and updated work and school information. I wish...

Time, and time again. 

The group project was focused on the topic of time. Our group had to make a group video and individual video. Time can be portrayed in many different ways; with a clock, Father Time, daily life, and so forth. The group had laid out all the different options and executed a scenario for each.

The Facebook Contract

Image
It was in 7th grade when everyone was really getting into Facebook and it was the “it” thing. MySpace was going out of popularity and Twitter and Instagram were still being developed - at least for another year. For myself, being close to my parents I always asked for permission of certain things. When I decided I wanted to become a part of the “it” thing it came with certain rules and regulations from my parents. My dad made me sign a contract stating that I wouldn’t get below a 84.99% on and science test I took.  This was due to the fact that I was horrible in science and my grade in that class was not the best. The contract had continue to state that if I scored below 84.99% I would have to deactivate my Facebook account until the grade has improved for the next test. My 12 year old self was of course not pleased with having to sign a contract but now I see where my parents were going with this. My dad is also an Information Technology director so he knows the end all be all...
