Internet: Future?


WHAT IS THE FUTURE of the INTERNET BASED ON OUR USE?

This writing started with an assignment from my instructor L. Baker of D.C.C.C.D. campus. The question posed was “what is the future of the internet or the web?” I searched the campus database using Boolean search technique and submitted by query as “internet + web + future AND 2012-2014” and received a 34 count result. The article I stumbled over allowed me to expand my thoughts.

This article discusses the natural progressions and findings of implementing and utilizing a distance learning reality. The faculty and student body both learn and share interesting results. The excitement is the interaction among both groups as they both gain insight to the other side through virtual learning. The positive effects are inspiring as the numbers reveal who learns best and how. The wheel is not actually reinvented but the rotation of the wheel spins at a more streamline interval. This reality is full duplex learning.

The article is an excellent vantage point of the concerns and functions of distance learning.  The article itself is based on a Canadian school system but is quite relevant to all schooling systems. The numbers involved in the article are quite interesting but to sum it up are quite obvious. We all are different with advantages and disadvantages of learning. The common law function of internet use detail the variables of purpose or reasoning used to access or remain connected to the web.

Home schooling will have a completely different view once we are all on board from parent to administrator. Policies of course will be custom enhanced settings to protect data sources and networks virtual and physical. There will be standard policy in place to govern behavior and to maintain standards of nurturing a young mind into a wise one. There will need to be a review of the relationship between social networking and traditional socializing. How does a child receive proper human care if the child never leaves its imaginary cubicle?

The future of the internet for this writer is one which will force itself to rediscover interaction among humanity.  A coed global classroom may be the next obvious common place step. There are many classrooms which do this now as an exchange program. A class for English and Spanish may involve a student body comprised of several different nations and countries for the same coursework and interaction. The next generation of students will have more insight to one another than before as bonds and partnerships will emerge from early on. 

The article in itself provides an accurate and honest look at results and teachings of distance learning. The best part I enjoyed was the healthier thinking produced with the materials of reading. Although the classroom is virtual and online it promotes healthy thinking and allows the personal touch many students need. I personally am not a faster analyst and require time until I have the concept locked in. The availability for me to obtain the information and tools I need with a 24 hour always open education center is perfect.

I recommend reading this article to gather an excellent reminder of where to look forward to in improving our education all around. A better mind of people increases the opportunity for better minded thoughts.

Project: Editing an Image and Posting in Your Blog (25 points)

My original photo came from my Facebook site when I started. I used simple editing and effects on the first set of pictures. These pictures include the blur effect, the swirl effect, and the animation effects of vintage and hue. I used the presets of Distort, Layers, Effects, and Basics.



ABOVE IS MY UPLOADED PIC WITH A LITTLE EDITING DONE TO IT BY FOTOFLEXER.




THE SINNER SAINT EFFECT


THE FIVE QUESTIONS ANSWERED:
  • how easy was it to use the image editor?
  • how easy was it to do the edit/enhancement?
  • what features should be included in this editor that are not currently available - such as improvements?
  • what benefits do you see with this technology?
  • what problems do you see with this technology?

The FotoFlexer online image editor was simpler than I thought. I basically navigate to a preset and select any of the options to make changes to the picture. I am not really certain what other edits should be involved with changing pictures but I like the ones available currently on this editor. This technology benefits the beginning and exploring mind into editing in general. The only problem I see with the technology is one's ability to utilize it in an effective manner. Regardless of the tools we always need a mind to use the tools.

Sinner Saint Homework Blog

My home work exercise involves me showing my review of personal steps to achieve personal goals. This review is one I am in submission of blogging. The blogging sphere and realm does absolutely two wonderful things for a person such as myself in stature, finance, and likeness. I can be funny. I can make money. This website I believe personally can transition one's life from rags to riches and from riches to rags all in the same week or post. 

For example, when learning how to create a blog I was relieved at the simplicity involved with me doing so. I am looking forward to more commerce friendly features offered by this site to enhance the self employed nation I find myself currently involved with. 
One feature in mind is an Online ATM and Digital Vault. This vault is attached to a secure prepaid banking method and with the "Clearance Required Software" protection from online commerce fiasco's or identity theft becomes removed. 

What I foresee with this technology is the bridging of the gap within perception and reality at practical points of application such as having a blog site and you blog about you from good to bad through this virtual reality option of communication. The internet makes it possible to employ myself from US to Japan and at a fraction of the cost to commute in person. The problem with the technology is that it is not free or sovereign of traditional means of communication such as public broadcasting system or network television.  Great place to start.



·         How easy was it to set up your blog?  It was quite simple to create my blog.
·         What features should be included that are not currently available? 
·         What  improvements would you make? 
·         What benefits do you see with this technology?  Self Expression & Commerce
·         What problems do you see with this technology?  BAd Postings
Add:
·         A link to El Centro College to the blog. ( http://www.elcentrocollege.edu/)  
·         Text color to at least one of  the words. 
              Bold or italics to at least one of the words

The above link is one which brings up a saved rendition of my soon to be published works if not published works as a blogger at the website address listing of http://www.DhatMistah.Blogspot.com. Creating the website is simple from blogger with its step by step method. There are many features of diversity pertaining to spicing up a blog site and reading other blogs as well as entering some html code if you choose or need. The feature I find myself needing for my blog and purpose is one which helps me be self sufficient such as Receiving Revenues to view Concert Themed Content ( videos of performance from stage or stage setting and viewed as professional or public). Beign paid as a stand up comic will post a whole new meaning to the word. My feature as a con requires knowledge of much law in copy right and publishing and standards to know how exactly the product should be revealed without infringements. The positive is like Napster the buzz alone is worth millions. 
Blogging basically allows many of us to heal in our own way through observation and expression. Either way we look at it. The font is the font.

Pow Wow Wow!

BEFORE WE BEGIN

I started out wanting to write about my educational experience in starting over, and then in  Starbucks I see this so more than  eclectic built female from Egypt. She has no idea how her silhouette commands a stare, a glance, and a thought of what does your hug feel like.

I know it's vulgar to some, but even her footwork was attractive enough to say thank you God for sending me to Starbucks. Her booty bumps when she walks. She wasn't the most beautiful looking, however, when you know its an authentic woman, you simply appreciate not seeing another transformer tricking you into thinking beyond your actual or authentic admirations.

If I post this particular entry, it means I hit publish in error. Lol!


THE REASON FOR MY POST TODAY

I in my attempt to better my mind, heighten my value to the work force, and inspire my spirit's mind to continue without any reluctance was a tid bit shattered today when my reality displayed itself.  I on the word of a friend said go back to school. I applied for FAFSA then finally after documentation adjustmetns were made, I registered for DCCCD's DALLAS TELECOLLEGE CREDIT COURSES only to be reminded me of my true original dilemma.  You don't have any money whatsoever to pay for your classes. Not even on a payment plan with down payment of 50%.
No problem, so I thought.  Then I log in to eConnect and click the link Financial Aid Status and it tells me that No Financial Award was given and my status is Warning. 

Ladies and Gentleman if the tuition were that of a traditional university campus I wouldn't feel as tiny, however, we are only speaking about a lump sum of less than $1500 one semester.  I am hanging my head beneath my scrotum in disappointment as I continue to defecate my neck with continued disappointment after disappointment. 

Remember that Transportation Company I am working for. Well due to funding I have to find ways which do not require me to pay to publish or promote the business. Not only that, but it has to be a campaign which remains appealing and draws in the average new customer and convince them this is the choice to make. 

I pretty much am going through my "Job" again and simply look up to the Heavens for reaffirmation of my love and trust as Faith carries me over somehow some way to say I love you unconditionally God.

I SEE ANOTHER ONE

This girl leaving has the same build as the first girl which looked egyptian but she was finer and a little cuter.  Starbucks attracts the fine ones of all types and I must admit I appreciate my pressence to bare witness to these facts.
