Reflection 4

I can't think of problems at the top of my head right now, but trust me I definitely encounter many as I use the computer.  It's different things depending on what my task is at the time.  Some times my internet won't work so I have to try other wireless networks, or i don't know where a certain thing is on Word or any Microsoft program so to resolve my problem I usually just explore and click on options till i figure it out.

 I think that copyright laws are overall a helpful thing.  However, I also feel that the extent of whats considered a copyright is silly.  In class you mentioned if you take a picture or paint one and post it on the internet that is considered copyrighting because someone else might have already taken or drawn the picture.  I think if you thought of it yourself and you did the work then it is your work.  It is bound to happen that somewhere else in this huge world someone may have the exact same vision or thought, but if you do the work (and you came up with the idea yourself) then it shouldn't be copyrighting.  Unless, however you write a song and someone steals it and also sings it then that is another story.   So, basically I have mixed feelings on this subject.  I would definitely leave it the same, but maybe just change the law a little when it comes to the situation like the whole paint a picture and display it being considered copyrighting.

Yes, I would definitely like to use some of the resources we talked about in class today, in particular Google Docs.  I feel that I have so much to organize with my classes, homework, tests, presentations, projects, etc.  Plus basketball games, meetings, practices, individuals.  I feel like there is so much jumbled on in my head to have something like Google Doc to help and remind me of upcoming events would be such a relief.  Also, if i have a group project or something, being able to not be with the persons and yet we can all contribute and make changes to things on Google Docs is awesome!  I also find myself interested in using Diigo.  During school there is so much researching going on and projects due, the fact that we can highlight, write notes, etc on the actual article from the internet is so helpful!!  I find these resources to be extremely helpful for not only myself as a student, but also for teachers to keep them organized and on task with all the tests, homework, and gradings they do for there many students.

Reflection Question IP&T 286

I would definitely have to say that I am some what in between a techie and someone that is totally lost when it comes to computers.  If I am shown how to work new programs I can pick it up pretty quick. Technology that I use pretty well would obviously be my cell phone, camera, Ipod, but dealing with the computer I feel I have the whole internet thing down, well if a Facebook, Google, You Tube, or Myspace question is brought up =).  I would like to better learn of the computer itself.  Like if there was a virus or some sort of problem in the hard drive with the computer I'd like to be able to navigate and resolve the situation.
