netiquette

Netiquette is a set of rules for behaving properly online. It effects every user that uses the Internet in some way. Good netiquette is when you don't flame out on people, and don't correct people rudely. you should also treat others when you see there feces not just the computer screen, and be nice. Bad netiquette is when you go off on people (flaming). Be a jerk to people for no reason.

What is a social network

Social networking is a where you go on a website that has many other members and you communicate with them either through posts, pictures, or comments. It basically lets you talk and communicate with people about what ever you want. A digital footprint is basically where you put something on the site and it could possibly stay there forever. Even sometimes when you delete it, it stays on there. That's why you should be careful of what you put on there. Social networking affects digital foot printing because everyone can see that thing you put on the site forever. The site may not let you remove it either.

It may say copyright but it is wrong

Copyright is when you copy, steal, or take someones work without permission. The most common copyright is probably when students do projects, or when people download music. When students use someone elses work they sometimes froget to cite their sources. This is a form of copyright. When people download music off of websites or programs for free that is illegal. You are basically stealling from the artist that made that song. Sometimes other artists take the tune to a song and write a new song to the song. This is also a form of copyright. The most famous case of that was probbally the Vanilla Ice vs Queen case. Ice took the tune of the song and just changed the lyrics without Queen's consent which is copyright.

Limewire VS RIAA

Limewire is a website where you can download music free of charge. When the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) found out about it they immediately sued Limewire for copyright infringement. The lawsuit began in 2006 and ended in May of 2010. The RIAA won the case but did not terminate Limewire all together. The RIAA wants to join with other groups to terminate it all together.

Research project

I think my presentation went very well. I did not barf when i went up there so that is a plus. My favorite part of the project was learning about all the other countries. My least favorite part was probably the bro cure because I do not enjoy making brochures what so ever. I learned that Ireland has many old tombs and towns to visit. I think that Mrs. Fowler should do different research projects maybe about a state or 1 attraction.

My high point this year was when I went to cross country camp. It was by far the best week of my life. I can't explain how much fun it was. My low point was when school started. It just took so much out of me that I didn't know if I could go on. If anything that I would change this year it would be that I would have a better first trimester. The first trimester I had was all blow off classes so I should have had more fun. For 2012 I plan to Brighten my day up more and focus on the achievements in life. If I had $100,000 I would probably buy myself a nice car and put the rest in the bank.
