Social Bookmarking Project
1. Another way that you can store and organize information on your computers is you can store it using social-bookmarking.
2.I learned a lot about what was happening in the world today. I did not know that New York was strongly considering legalizing marijuana.
3.Other social-bookmarking websites or apps are CiteULike, BibSonomy, and Delicious.
4. I will continue to use social bookmarking because it could help people share where they got information and it may help me out in the future.

Smart Watch
A new smart watch will be controlled by using clicks, tilts, and twists. The creator took this approach to make this watch because he figured that some users fingers will be too big for a touchscreen watch and voice recognition is still unreliable. Click here to learn more

1.My Web 2.0 tool would be iMovie. I would use this tool for Mr. Porfido' s class. I would also use it for Ms. Garvin's World History Honors class.
2.I would use this tool to splice and edit videos that I find on the internet or that I make. I could also use this tool to make videos shorter or longer
3.This tool would help me learn how editing is done and how someone can take different parts of many videos and combine them to make one perfect video.
4. I have used this tool before. To make my video in my social website presentation I used iMovie and found it to be very easy to use and very helpful.

Do Now: 5/7/14
Well I have never had a social media account. I'm not really sure why, I guess since I know a lot of old people who use social media websites I always thought that these websites were lame. I never really found what was the point of using a social media website but after a few years I can understand that they do connect people. I have seen tweets but have never really encountered a very profanity filled tweet or facebook posting, but I have no doubt that they do exist. I mean I guess that there is no need for profanity in every single one of your tweets especially if your just a young kid or even an old "responsible" adult. If someone feels strongly about a topic then they should find a different way to express themselves that is not cursing. I also agree that selfies are kind of dumb but they will probably fade out in about a year. I agree the most that you should think before you post something because you will never know who sees your post and it may affect you later on. Perhaps one day if i do find the time to make a social media account I will probably try to follow most of these rules.

RSS Feeds Discussion Questions
Discussion Questions
1. I selected the sites that I was subscribed to because my personal websites are things that I like such as sports and gaming. Other subscriptions are news and I just wanted to be informed about what was going on in my world today.
2. Yes, using digg reader to browse through the feeds it was extremely easy to subscribe to feeds.
3. My favorite sites were probably the New York Times and any sports websites like ESPN and SBNation.
4.I can use RSS feeds as a way to make searching the internet for my favorite websites much faster and easier.
5. I'm not sure if in the near future I will use an RSS feed because I have a lot of time on my hands but perhaps later on when I have a full time job I will probably use an RSS feed to save time.

Body Swapping Now Possible with Virtual reality Technology
New technology would give people the appearance that they have swapped bodies with another person. The user and performer and user both put on headsets with a camera attached to it and the headset has sensors attached to it. If your partner where to move their arm than you would see it and would get the experience of being that person. To learn more click here.
