Choosing a Computer

When choosing an computer it is very important to know what all of the functions of the computer are and how they match up with your personal needs. You might want to have the cloud on you computer so files are instantly and easily transferred from all your computers and devices. You need to remember that your computer will not last long before it needs to be updated about 2 to 4 years is the max time someone should have a computer. Computers twenty years form now will be completely different from what they are now nobody can guess what will be in store for us.

Wireless Communication

Owning a cellphone is a really big responsibility because everything it can do. A smartphone has internet capabilities and it should be monitored. Cellphones are also expensive and they could break easily. Cellphones are also very distracting and should never be used whiled driving because you could harm yourself or others. If you are driving you should just turn your phone off and if you are in the passenger seat and the driver is texting while driving then you should tell them to stop and warn them of the dangers of texting while driving.

The Viral World

Technology is a great thing and has helped the world in many ways, but there are risks when using technology. Since there are so many things to do on the internet and lots of them require lots of personal information you need to know how to keep that stuff safe. You can do that by restricting who can see your information and changing your password often, you should have numbers, letters and symbols in your password to keep them safe. Technology is really fun but you can get sucked into it, if you are spending more time doing recreational things on the internet than being with friends or doing school work hen you should probably take some time off of the internet. To help not become technology addicted you should try hanging out with your friends in person.


Internet Resources and Credibility

Technology and the internet is really fun but it also is a great resource for school work, but you have to use it correctly and make sure you do not plagiarize. To make sure you are not plagiarizing always give credit to the author. If you plagiarize intentionally or not it could have series consequences like getting a zero on your work or disciplinary action. We use technology everyday in school and is very helpful but you always need to be aware of plagiarism.

Multimedia Products

Multimedia is great for expressing your ideas and creativity you can post anything you want  in a slideshow which makes it easier to present a presentation. Social media is also a great way to express yourself but you need to be careful about what you post because somebody that you don't know could look at your stuff and find out personal information. You also should be aware of the copyright status of the things you post or you could get in a lot of trouble. Copyright is important because it protects the authors work from being changed or copyrighted. If you put music on your website that allows people download it for free that is considered copyright infringement.

Digital Relationships and Respect

Cyberbulling is bulling someone over the internet. It is different than regular bulling because online you are not face to face and you will be more confident to say something you wouldn't in person. If you are being cyberbullied you should block the person and tell an adult. If one of your friends is being cyberbullied than you should tell  them to delete the person and to tell an adult. If you see some post a mean comment you should stand up for the person to try to end cyberbulling. For more tips click here.

The Future of Technology

Technology has changed every profession greatly and they continue to change. STEM careers are Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics these are some of the most recent jobs that have come from all the new technology. New jobs like computer designer and webpage programmer have come from the invention of the computer and internet. STEM jobs are in very high demand and you should prepare for them by taking computer and technology classes. There will be so much more technology in the future for us we can't even imagine it.
