#30:Computer Arch

Has been the greatest class ever! I love Mr. John! He is pretty darn amazingggg.

#18: I'm going to be an aunt!


I should be an aunt as of the 25th! I can't wait! And I'm super anxious to find out whether it is a boy or girl! My first niece/nephew! :)

#15: Bump Top


Bump top is a cool program that you can download to replace your background. It's like a 3-D box. You can drag pictures, files, anything. It's pretty cool.

#14: Facebook Censoring


Facebook now is censoring messages, things posted, and anything that is written on Facebook. People are very angry over there privacy being invaded. I personally think they shouldn't be allowed to read messages, but that comments and things publicly posted can be read.

#12: Control Panel- Scheduled Tasks

I think it's cool that you can schedule tasks. It makes it convenient to update all the programs that you want to. You don't have to go to those programs and start the update yourself. You can schedule it to run at night so that it doesn't interfere with your work during the day.

#11: Control Panel- Text to Speech

I think it's one of the cooler apps on Control Panel. You can type text and it will read it back to you. You can change the voice. You can also change the speed at which it talks.

#10: H1N1


H1N1 flu is this over exaggerated virus that is no more deadly than the regular flu virus. Everyone is freaking out over it just because it's a new flu so it is all over the news. It isn't because more people are dying, it's dumb.

#9: Cellphone Hacking


Our world can pretty much do anything with the technology that has been discovered...maybe to much? How far is too far? People are now able to tap into peoples phone; listening to their conversations, reading their texts, and tracking their every move. You can stalk someone without even leaving your house. Creepy!

#8: An onion, powerade, and an IPod


I watched a video on how to charge an IPod with only powerade and an onion! What is this world coming to that we are able to do something like this? You soak the onion in the powerade and plug it into the IPod and it will charge for as long as 20 minutes.

#7: Samsung Eternity


I just bought the Samsung Eternity and I love it! It has a side bar on the home screen for you to keep shortcuts like music, pictures, alarms, etc. and you can drag them out of there onto your home screen. It's a complete touch screen phone. The keyboard is bigger than most so that makes it a lot easier to type on. I really love it!

#6: Audio Books For Free


I think this website makes people lazy. I don't think people really absorb what they read. You also know the spelling of words when you see them and you are able to recognize them more often than when you are just listening to them.

#5: Pandora


One of the Web 2.0 awards websites I looked at was www.pandora.com. I liked it a lot. You can listen to any kind of music you want off the internet. And since I am always looking for somewhere to listen to music on the internet this website is very helpful.

#4: Online Libraries

I don't really like an online library. I think it makes people lazy.

#3: Microsoft Surface





The Microsoft Surface is completly amazing! It is so cool! It will charge your cell phone if you set it on the computer! It will even download all your pictures if you set your camera on it! It is the best thing ever!

#2: Kindle


The kindle is like an electronic book. You can buy more than 245,000 books, U.S. and international newspapers, magazines, and blogs. And they are a lot cheaper than if you bought them in the stores. You can even play background music while you are reading. I got one for Christmas and I love it.

#1: China


China is a lot bigger than we are! When something goes wrong in a company the CEO's usually commit suicide. If you want to get into a good college(and not be poor) you get up at 4 a.m., learn, eat, go to school for 10 hours, come home, drink tea, learn more until 11 then go to sleep...only to wake up at 4 to start the whole process over. They start this in the 5th grade!!! Poor people! And they don't treat women fairly!
