Reflections

     The past 12 weeks I have learned a lot, but why would technology be important to me? Well, I think that the reason technology is important is because it helps us to do things that humans can't do themselves; yet they can make machines that will do whatever it is for them. I think technology is important because it helps make our lives easier. In the past 5 years, technology has changed so much. Now, everything is touchscreen and flat screened, compared to the old televisions that had curved screens and the old phones that flipped. Five years ago we didn't have blu-ray, and people went out and bought CD's, rather than downloading their music. In the next 5 years, I know that technology is going to change greatly, but what they're going to invent I do not know. Maybe next they could invent a transparent phone.
     When I'm working on my school work, the only technology I use is the internet or a calculator. Everything else I get from a book. I like getting my information from a book because I feel like I can trust it more than I could trust what comes off the internet. In my spare time, I use the internet to talk to friends, or sometimes I will watch a movie with my family.
     In the future, I think that I will use some of the things I learned, such as photo editing. I had never edited any of my photos until a few days ago, and I really like doing it. I also think that I will use some other things such as knowing how to make an avatar. For lifelong learning, I think that a blog would be the most practical because people can write about any topic, and if your reading the blog, its because you want to learn more about it.
    I don't think I'm ever going to make a podcast again, it was my least favorite since I don't like to record my own voice. My favorite thing we did in Online Experience was making the avatars. I like to design things, and even though my avatar didn't look like me, I had fun making it.
