ELO Class Reflection

I really like being in this class because we get to use the iPads. In this class, I learned how to make my own blog and how to get people's attention when making an advertisement. Using iPads in class to do our assignments instead of doing it on paper is a good thing because it makes it easier for us to do our assignment. I really had fun in this class and I'm sure that the people that have this class next semester will have a blast with this cool technology we call the "iPad"

Case Study: “It’s Over” by Britt Hainstock

In the case study "It's Over" by Britt Hainstock, the two characters, Kim and Jordan broke a couple of rules. Kim broke Rule# 1: Remember the Human,Rule #2: Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life and Rule #7: Help keep flame wars under control. Kim didn't have the guts to breakup with Jordan face-to-face so she did it online. By doing that she broke Rule #2. She wouldn't have done it like that in real life. She was talking to Lucas online and was planning on how she would break-up with Jordan and after she posted online that she's breaking up with Lucas she didn't even tell Jordan about it. She just broke Rule #1. She didn't put herself into Jordan's shoes thinking how that would hurt if Jordan did that to her. After all that happened, she made a Myface group called "People Who Think Jordan Sucks" By doing that she broke Rule #7. She's making Jordan look like it was all Jordan's fault when she was the one who started it.

On the other hand, Jordan broke Rule #8 which is respect other people's privacy. He went on Kim's Myface account without her permission, and he did some bad things to her account by de-friending a bunch of Kim's friends and made numerious inappropriate posts on other people's walls. He also went through Kim's inbox and found her conversation with Lucas. After reading their conversation, he got jealous and drove to Lucas' house and smashed the windows of Lucas' car.

Both of them were at fault for doing things that they shouldn't have done and because of that they were brought to the office and they got introuble, even Lucas.

Advance of Digital Technology

Q: Do you think the advance of digital technology is helping our world become a better place?

Yes, I think the advance of digital technology is helping our world become a better place because it eliminates paperwork, reduces time in doing researches, projects, assignments, and officework. The use of digital technology makes it easier for us to keep in touch with family, friends through social networking like facebook, msn, yahoo, etc. With digital tecnology you can easily access to online resources from any place with an Internet connection unlike 10 years ago when you were stuck in one place sitting infront of your computer. They now have a wide range selections of digital technology devices like personal computers, laptops, ipads, iphones, blackberries, and more.
