I don't like the Fashion Laptop Bags because they are Tacky & expensive. If you pay alot of money for something, you want it to look good. That's not a good buy to me.

I like the Powermat, because you don't have to rumble with cords to get your phone to charge. it's too much of a hassle, with the powermat you just simply place your phone flat onto the powermat and your phone begins to charge.

I dont like the product Zoomsafer and voice on the go because the whole purpose of it is to text hands-free while you driving. When people drive they' re supposed to be focused on the road not thinking about their phone to avoid accidents.

Why are the questions you ask so important to developing understanding?

When you don't understand something, you can't just sit there clueless. Ask questions, so you can understand what is being talked about. If you keep quiet and not speak up about you not understanding the teacher will think you understand and move on. They're are no dumb questions, and the teacher would be glad to answer you.

Why is it so important to define and understand your task before you begin?

Why is it so important to define and understand your task before you begin?

It's important to understand your task before you begin because if you start something without knowing how to do it then your going do something totally wrong. For example, if you building let's say a house. If you don't understand how to build it, your going to start it wrong.

09/15/09: Why is it very important not to give out personal information on the Internet?

Why is it very important not to give out personal information on the Internet? If you share personal information on the Internet, it puts your safety at risk online. People that view your posts know your personal information including your full name, your location, your schools, where you hang out etc. There have been incidents of victims being tracked down because they shared too much about themselves. This is why you decide up front how much you are going to let people know about you. Even giving out a password for any reason, is a no-no because people can find some important stuff about you things like credit card pins, adresses, pictures of yourself or family. Bottom line is don't give out any important information on the Internet.

09/14/09 : What is your definition of Cyber Safety?

If the definition of a cyber-predator is a person that uses the internet to hunt for victims to take advantage of people, usually kids like my age or younger by harassing, bullying , threatened or humiliating them by ganging up on a kid or using sexual remarks. Cyber-safety or what I like to call it, cyber-security is the opposite of that. Cyber-safety prevents children from being harmed online. Cyber-safety keeps the online-word a safer environment for kids to browse. It's like online police. Like how police keeps the world safe, cyber-safety keeps the online world safe.

Cybersafety Essay

Khalil Holmes
Campus High

When you blog, you need to consider and think about your personal safety. While doing some research, I have come across incidents having to do with people be hacked to people being tracked down because they shared they're location online. When blogging you need to decide up front how much personal information you will share on your blog. I'd advise you to try to stay anonymous as possible. Don't give our your full name, your school, your location, or where you hang out. Never try and meet up with anyone you've met online. Think about what you're posting don't show or share anything that can the attention of a internet sexual predator. The whole moral behind this is to be careful of what you put on the internet.

1. DO YOU BELIEVE ABERCROMBIE FITCH SHOULD SUE BEYONCE? WHY?

A: No, I don't think Abercrombie & Fitch should sue Beyonce. They should just make her change her name "Fierce" for her label.

2. DO YOU THINK THAT CONSUMERS WILL BE CONFUSED BY HAVING TWO FRAGRANCES WITH SIMILAR NAMES.

No, because the A&F Fragrance will be sold in the store or on the site. Plus the fragrance is unisex, while Beyonce's is only for woman.

3. IF YOU WERE BEYONCE KNOWLES WHAT WOULD YOU DO ABOUT THE SITUATION? WOULD YOU CONTINUE WITH LAUNCHING YOUR PRODUCT AND KEEP THE NAME OR WOULD YOU CHANGE THE NAME?

I would fight the case, to keep the name because sometimes people buy things because of the name. "Fierce" is a catchy name. But if I lose the fight just come up with something else for the fragrance.

How do you know what information is fact and what information is fiction in the Internet? What do you do to determine what information you can trust?

Can i trust everything on the internet? How do I know what information is fact or fiction? What should i do to determine what information I can trust?

In my opinion you can't trust half of the things on the internet.
The things on the internet are either poorly presented, a scam or just plain wrong
.
Things on the internet, like tags try to grab our attention. What should i do to determine what information is true? Check newspapers, headline stories, or just find the hints in the lie.
During some research, they're were rumors that we're absolutely ridiculous.
Things like did you know that Saddam Hussein is using killer dinosaurs to get revenge on the United States? Did you know that a vampire duck killed eight people in China? Everyone knows dinosaurs are an extinct species and a vampire duck? Total bogus! This is why you can't believe everything on the internet.

Can you believe all the information that is published (available) on the Internet?

Can I believe all the information that is published (available) on the Internet? Absolutely not, internet scammers can trick the best of us. last year alone, Americans lost $6,152,070 to Internet scams according to the Internet Fraud Watch (IFW.) Another example is the Doomsday in 2012 rumor. People are terrified & starting to actually believe it and starting to think this:


Stop planning your careers, don't bother buying a house, and be sure to spend the last years of your life doing something you always wanted to do but never had the time. Now you have the time, four years of time, to enjoy yourselves before… the end.

How do you think your life would be different without Computers?

How do I think my life would be different without computers? That's a good question. If I didn't have computers to do research, I'd be reading way more books. If computers weren't around the only reason to computer anybody is by phone. Meaning no e-mail, no myspace, facebook, & AIM.
Without computers, there would be no question of the day, or if they're was they it would be written on the dry-erase board. No blogger, no delicious, mycampus, no engrade.

  2. How can you turn your program into a web page? A: All you need to do is type in the code, then save the document, making sure to put an .html extension or an .htm extension to the file (for instance "mypage.html").
  3. What happens to the HTML tags when the program is displayed in a web browser? A: As you can see, the start tag indicates that whatever follows should be written in bold. The corresponding end tag indicates that the browser should stop writing text in bold.
  4. Which extension should you use HTM or HTML? A: HTML
  5. What is a wysiwyg editor? What are the advantages or disadvantages to a wysiwig program? A: "What You see is what you get", used in computing to describe a system in which content displayed during editing appears very similar to the final output, which might be a printed document, web page, slide presentation or even the lighting for a theatrical event. WYSIWYG HTML editors are great tools for beginners to quickly create web pages and put them on the net. Now any one, without knowing HTML, can create visually appealing (?) web sites of their family, pets, business... you name it! WYSIWYG HTML editors are fine for beginners or if you want to create a web site quickly and don't want to fiddle around with HTML code. However, if you plan to develop web sites for a living - make a career out of web development - you need to learn HTML properly.

  8. What browser should I use? A:You can do all the training with all of the well-known browsers, like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape, or Opera. However, some of the examples in our advanced classes require the latest versions of the browsers.

What are the positive & negative consequences of technology?


At one time in life, they're were no computers, no keyboards, all it was was writing by hand.
When we got computers, we stopped talking on the phone, we were sending e-mails. Things we use to do, we don't have to do anymore. It's easy for everybody now. This is the negative consequences of technology.

On to the positive, with every bad there's a good. Good technology, things like GPS systems, Google Earth, surveillance cameras, and metal detectors. These are all good technology, because they help people in many ways.

Who do you most admire and why?

That's a good question, if i had to choose I'd definitely choose my mother. The reason i chose my mother is because she's always there for me, she feeds, clothe, and shelters me. She can be hard on me sometimes but I only know it's because she wants me to be successful and make it in this world. She's easy to talk to, she's real and doesn't hold any punches
. I mean, I can tell her anything, and she knows when something is wrong. She always makes me feel better and smile. It's like she knows exactly where it hurts. Man what would i be without my mother.

Why sites ask for so much..

You ask sometimes, why do you need this information.. all of this to register? The reasons for this is to keep your account safe.. now a days they're a lot of hackers, hacking into people's accounts. You never know what an account holds.. some personal information, maybe addresses to homes, maybe even bank card numbers. The reasons registration forms ask so much is because they care about your safety. Doing some research, I came across one of the top 10 worse hacking incidents of all time. Russian computer geek Vladimir Levin effected what can easily be called The Italian Job online - he was the first person to hack into a bank to extract money. Early 1995, he hacked into Citibank and robbed $10 million. Interpol arrested him in the UK in 1995, after he had transferred money to his accounts in the US, Finland, Holland, Germany and Israel. The reason the registry is such a hassle is to prevent things like this from happening.
