Creating My First Heading My First paragraph. Creating my first HTML web page.  Well, that was very interesting, first off just a heads up the handout I received did not have a lot of pictures  I'm not sure if it was intended that way, but having pictures really helps especially when dealing with so much spacing and symbols.  Anywho onto the real story of creating my first HTML web page.  It was very quick to pick up.  Pretty straightforward once you get the idea of the basics.  But I can definitely see it getting a lot more difficult especially with formatting, and images, and anchors.  And all of the different versions of HTML and adding graphics with moving pictures and it can become a little overwhelming.  In all actuality, I'm not too sure what else to put into this blog post.  That was my experience it was fun, it's good to know that any basic word processor is able to create a basic web page.  Other than that it was easy, it was fun and I'm actually m

The similarities and differences between email and email are not few and far between.  Email and mail both have a lot in common with one another, but their differences are what gives one the advantage over the other.  To begin, as you read the title, I referred to email like letters, and packages, postcards, those sorts of things as snail mail.  Well, why would you do that? Well because, how long does it take for mail to get from one place to another?  It depends on how far it has to travel and how many stops it makes along the way.  Okay so to standardize this, and make it easy, let's say a state away.  I'm really thinking of dropping out and moving to Oregon.  So let's make it Oregon, how long does it take for U.S. mail to get a letter from Seattle to Portland? 3-5 days.  that's standard shipping, not paying for extra bells and whistles, not overnight, and not priority.  Okay, so how long does it take email to get from Seattle to Portland?  Seconds, for it to arrive

The guest speaker was pretty cool, it was interesting to listen to a man that has lived and experienced the early internet and making a living off of online materials.  It's not too often that people explain what they do and how they do it.  The guts it takes to put yourself out there online is something that not everyone has.  It takes devotion, motivation, and trial and error to figure out how to make a profit online by selling your products and your experiences.  What I found to be the most interesting from this guest speaker was the fact that he is able to sustain not having a normal nine to five job, and only getting "normal" jobs if he felt he wanted to.  That with his hard work and know-how of a very specific field, he was able to market his experiences and the things he learned into a product that can almost be universally applied to that specific field.      His dedication to his craft and his knowledge of where he stands was very impressive, I'm sure it to

What I want out of this class.  Honestly, I want to know how it all began and the people responsible.  I want to know where technology has been, and the reasons why it was made the way it was because I hope it would shed some light on where we might go with it.  Moreover, what I want out of this class is a better understanding of how some technology works today, anywhere from the social aspect to the professional, in many different cultures and walks of life.  I would like for this class to teach me, and show me that technology is for everyone and that no matter what, technology can always not only improve the human experience but also how it can diminish it. All in all, I am interested to see where this class will take me, I'm interested to see where technology goes in the future, and I think that the best way to understand where it is headed is to understand where it has been.  I'm interested to learn in what ways technology has changed society and vice versa.  I would like
