Final exam presentation
- 1. Ost 284 Emerging Technology Final Exam
- 2. Facebook I can connect with family members that I don’t get to see very often. I can set my account to private so that non friends can’t see my stuff. It is really easy to use.
- 3. Future employers can look at my account and decide if I am interview material. I can add different website that show what kind of work I can do. I can connect with people that work for a company that I am interested in and have them write a recommendation for me.
- 4. I can put in the address and find different routes to my destination. I can find restaurants or anything along the way that I might need. It has very easy to follow directions.
- 5. Google Docs It is really easy to share my document with other people. I don’t have to email it or attach it to a file. I can access my document from anywhere without carrying around all the old technologies for saving them. It automatically saves my work, so if I loose power, I do not loose all of my work.
- 6. I can turn on cartoons for my children when on the go. I can watch a video on how to fix something which makes it a hundred times easier. I can google and find out how to do pretty much anything that needs done with my computer, electronics, toys for my children, etc….
- 7. I have never got into the use of twitter. I tried it before this class, and it is just not something I enjoy doing. I don’t like seeing all the hashtags with the microblogs. I feel the younger generation is more twitter bound than I am.
- 8. I used to use My Space all the time before I signed up for Facebook. I just really like the aspect of Facebook better. I found more of my friends and family use Facebook over My Space. I think that every time I get the hang of My Space they go and change it on me then I spend forever trying to figure it out again.
- 9. Wikipedia I enjoy looking at the pages on Wikipedia, but so many different people can come and edit it that you never know what is true. It should have some kind of system hooked up to it so that you can check to make sure the facts presented are actual facts. Some people go and put what they want just to throw people off or to make them think something is true when it really isn’t.
- 10. Honestly there is nothing wrong with Flickr. I have never got into really using it. I guess If I would play around with it more then I might like it more. I like to keep my files saved the old fashion way on my hard drive or backed up on a cd. I guess I should give it a try and see if I could actually get into it. I bet it would be easier for me to do things with my photos. I am horrible at taking all these pictures of my kids though and saving them to a cd, but never having them printed.
- 11. I am not into the blogging world. I do not get the point of going online and posting these little short statuses. I have never really looked to far into it other then what we did in this class. I just really don’t feel like it serves a purpose to me. I pretty much only use Facebook and that is to just keep up with my family and friends back home that I don’t get to see very often.
