Hey! Alright, it's time to go for a current event this time around, so I hope you'll enjoy reading about that.
The title of the article I read was: Google Shopping Express expands old formula: Take orders, deliver stuff (mostly)
People who work at home sometimes don't always have the time to go out and buy groceries. Like the ones who have deadlines tomorrow and they are no where near done yet they need food. Online shopping? Would they deliver the same day? Yup, Google Shopping Express does. GSE Delivers to your house the same day you order it. Privacy? Check. They don't know what they are delivering to you because the packages are sealed shut. Privacy?
I think it's helpful.“I think Amazon prices are usually better, but sometimes Target or other stores have sales, and Google has all sale prices. I don't think I've ever found anything that Google has and Amazon doesn't.” Farhad Manjoo states. In certain ways, I think it could help out a lot of people who need it, and in the future more people should depend on it. In my case, when I get older I'll be working at home. When I have certain deadlines, I'll just depend on them for the delivery.
For everyone everywhere, I think not just for us. I think one day it'll become world wide. For it to impact it world wide will assist a lot of people. In my opinion, I think it will be very good for everyone.

Digital Literacy
Hey,
This week I'll tell you about what I learned on our terms : Publish, trustworthy, evaluate and criteria.
When you publish something, you're putting it out for the public to see. Not all things put on the internet are true though, in another term, trustworthy.
When it's trustworthy, that means you can use it and not worry if it's stolen, fake, lies, etc. It will be dependable and accurate.
When you look around for things like that, you have to evaluate it. If it doesn't stand out as you analyze it then you may not want to use it. Definitely when it doesn't stand up to the criteria needed. Criteria is moral standards on how you base your judgement.
Well, I'll tell you about the things this may relate to. When you publish something
and you forget to evaluate your information and it turns out it wasn't true,
you may not be able to change it easily.

Well, I'll tell you about the things this may relate to. When you publish something
and you forget to evaluate your information and it turns out it wasn't true,
you may not be able to change it easily.
Especially if it's in print. Like books.
If you make a mistake in books, it's extremly hard to try to change it back to how
you need it. Though if it's on the internet, it's way easier to do that sort of thing
there.
For example: Presentations, if you mess up on a presentation on the computer
it is easier to change a mistake before you may get judged on the mistake
you made. For you using Mixbook, or Prezi as we learned this week,
if you mess up you can fix it easy peasy.
Also, this week we learned about being a good digital citizen and the
ways to behave on the internet. Maybe you can take these in consideration
when you go onto sites and things like that.
So, next time you're online, you
can think about these things. Just look at the presentation below to follow
the ways of being a good online citizen.

Welcome back (if you've seen the prezi)
So some positives on this would be you can do things much easier without
having to worry about buying enough posters for your presentaion.
There is a negitive ornegetives to it, like sometimes it could fail
and you wouldn't be able to present for an impotant moment.
Next topic, learning about online ethics and being a good online citizen.
You kay wonder why you need to learn these things.
It's because
people on the internet sometimes tend to be rude or maybe they are acting
very obnoxious. They may not know these kinds of things they have to think about,
but you do. If more and more people learn about these things then mor people
wouldn't act they way they do.
It could creat a better online community for everyone. I'm not saying you
have to be all bowties and proper sayings, I'm just saying you should keep in mind
these guide lines so you won't be caught in the middle of ridiculous online
discussions.
It can affect you if your professors or someone that wants to hire you
but look at your facebook or blog posts and see you have a foul
mouth or you get in tons of fights, being disaggreeable.
Then you may
have lucked out on the fact you couldv'e gotten that job,
or you couldv'e gotten into the school you've always wanted.
So to say, you should be careful.
Okay, on another subject, my week has been very nice.
My friends from the bus ended up not ditching me. Seeing as I still
ride the bus with them all in the mornings and afternoons. Now I
get dropped off with them too.
Other than that, it's been a really slow week.
It's felt fun , I was very happy, except
of the fact I had to wear my hair curly...
I hope I didn't jinx myself though.
Let's hope the next week will go just as well.

Lines Between Animation and Reality are Blurred
Hey, well, this time I'm going to talk about how a short Pixar movie is so realistic but it's counted as animation.
If you want to go to the article I'm going to talk about here is the link: Mashable
Okay, well, this movie they made is about two people who randomly meet eachother and they are basically wearing different color rain gear, blue and red, while everyone else is wearing black or a dark color. They fall in love, then are seperated. The drawings/ animation were so realistic it was like they were pictures.
I found it very pleasing to see, I liked it very much. There's people who try to do things like that and they do it half-hearted and it doesn't look nearly as good as this. It affects me by the way it's drawn. I'm facinated by it. I wonder why people don't try to draw these types of things as often anymore. It's a shame but hey, what can I do? People have to motivate themselves.
The way it impacts the world by how much insiration it gives off is phenomenal. People can look at it and say, "Wow, I wonder how they did that..." or "Man, I want to draw like that." and motivate people to try harder. Instead of just not caring about what you draw, it could get you to care more about it. You could end up in great places if you try hard enough. Maybe if you took a look outside you can see what the world gives off and think like Unseld said in the 4th paragraph of the article, "So I wanted to show the rain as a beautiful thing."
