1/15/2015 Favorite App

My Favorite App is Instagram!  What you do is post pictures of whatever you want, and put it on your profile.  You and your friends follow each other to keep in touch.  I like this app to see what my family and friends are up to.  I like how I can keep in touch with old friends that I'd moved away from, or friends that moved away from me.  I can see how my old friends are doing and if they are okay.  I also like how I can follow celebrities and sports channels.  I can easily see what my favorite actor or actress is doing, or what the score is at in a basketball, football, or soccer game. This is a app that I never got bored of!  I can keep to date with new styles and clothing by seeing what others are posting. You can learn more about here.

1/12/15 Collusion



All the tracking in the video Gary Kovacs: Tracking our online trackers was a concern for the speaker.  The tracking was a concern because, it meant your personal information was being traced.  It meant that with a couple of clicks a tracker could see your birthday and your hobbies.  The trackers are most likely doing what their called, tracking.  They are finding your information to the point where they can find you.  Tracking could be a good thing to help you find good books and movies for you and your family.  On the other hand tracking could be a bad thing when it leads trackers to your personal information.  I was very surprised on how many dot were appearing.  It was only one day of going online and the screen was already almost filled up!  Imagine a year worth of going online and how full the screen would be.  I would hope to think that my screen would not be that full.  I usually go on the same cites everyday which is about two cites a day.  I think my screen would only be a about twenty dots.
