Well what can I say, I really really enjoyed this course. I learned a lot from it and I think this will open doors for me. I liked learning about WordPress and XD. This course was very helpful to me because it helped me understand better on how the internet works and how it affects our everyday life’s. Technology plays a big role in our society and it can be very helpful yet harmful in a way. Overall this course really was one of my favorite GRA course I’ve take and I hope it doesn’t change. Thank you.

I’m not sure if there’s an app like this but if there isn’t I wish for an app that would grocery shop for you and bring to your house. I’m sore there’s apps that allows you to pick out your groceries and you can just pick up but I would really like one that it allows someone to bring you your groceries at your front door. This would save a lot of time if you don’t have time to go pick up groceries. Also it would really help those who don’t have cars or can’t drive. I think an app like this is possible but I feel like it would be hard because I don’t think people would want to pay extra to have someone bring them their groceries. But at the same time I feel like people wouldn’t mind paying just so they don’t have to leave their house. Another reason I think this app is possible is because it would be like ordering food and having it delivered. In reality this app is possible to be a thing nowadays.

My favorite app without a doubt has to be Instagram. I think it’s my fav app because there’s always different picture or videos to see. It is also a good app to go on when you’re bored or when you want to kill time. Instagram is a app where you can upload pictures or videos so that your friends, family can see. It allows you to like, share or comment on other people’s images. Overall it’s a pretty nice app. The audience for this app is people ages 12+ or even pages like business, teams, groups, etc. The things I like the most about this app is, it lets me connect with old friends and see what they’ve been up too. And I don’t really dislike anything about this app just the fact that the you can’t upload long videos. Only short videos. I feel that is the only thing I might not dislike but overall I really like this app and that’s why it’s my favorite app of them all.

Being constantly connected can be good and bad. It can be good because it’s a way to keep updated on things like news friends or events. In most cases is the only way to really know what’s going on in the world. But it can also be bad by it controlling our life’s. We might now notice but we are letting technology control us everyday. For me being constantly connected has been good in a way of keeping in touch with friends and finding new things like meeting new people or doing new things. For example always wishing people happy birthday because Facebook told me it was their birthday. Small things like that are good because I won’t feel like a jerk for forgetting my friends birthday. But it’s not all good things. It can also be bad. Sometimes I’ll be on my phone way too much that it gets me in trouble. Wether it be at work or at home. It’s just a habit for me to be constantly on my phone. For most people it’s just a habit now but they don’t realize the risk they’re taking. For example texting and driving. I haven’t gotten that far but it does happen.

Technology plays a big part in mostly everyone’s life. And like everyone it has gotten them in trouble at least once wether it’s been at work, school, or even in their relationships. The time it got me in trouble I was in middle school. I had just gotten a new phone and was really excited to use it. In my third period the teacher didn’t allow phones in class but I wanted to use it and show off. Well that showing off cost me my phone to be taken away for the whole day. During class I was texting my friends and I had forgotten to put it in silent and when I received a text message my phone rang. I used to have a song as my ringtone and it played out loud that everyone turn around to look at me. All I heard then was my teacher calling my name and asking to give him my phone. He told me that he will hold on to it until the end of the day. After I got it back he had called my parents to let them know and I got in trouble when I got home. From there on I learned my lesson on not to use my phone during class because it can lead to having my phone taken away for a whole day.

The internet has changed by a lot when it comes to keeping in touch with friends, or family. I think that the way technology and the internet has evolved has a lot to do with how not only me but how most people keep in touch. It has made it easier and faster to contact family and friends from all over the world. Before the internet I would almost never talk to my family in Mexico. It would have to be a special occasion if I ever did. But now with what the internet offers it makes it easier with some of the websites to apps like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or other social media’s. But it really has been a big change not only for me but everyone. It has helped people find and meet new people. There’s apps where you don’t need a phone like you can literally message people using WiFi. The internet had really changed the way I keep in touch with people in such a easy way.

They way the internet has helped me manage my health is simply fantastic. It has made it easy for me to look up health tips and also ways to help me improve or be healthier. There are many ways it has done that. For example one of them has been simply being able to look up information about certain foods or workout routines. And thanks to the internet I’ve been able to change the way I workout and eat. Being able to look at all those stuff has made it easy for me to stay active. I’ve ordered weights online and looked up workouts on the internet and I think that it has made a difference in ways you wouldn’t notice. Like being able to see if you’re doing things the right way and not getting hurt or even discovering new things to help improve your health. For the most part the internet has really changed the way I manage my health and it’s continuing to improve over time.

Over the years technology and the internet has changed the way we live, communicate and learn. For the the internet has changed the way I learn in a positively way. With today’s technology we have unlimited access to internet through smart phones, laptops and social networking. Technology has become a significant part of our everyday life that we stop noticing. And with the amount of access he have almost all the time we are able to learn from it in ways you never thought you’ll be learning. For example the way it has changed the way I learn now is easier and faster. Let’s say whenever I need a definition of a word I can simple just take out my phone and use the internet to look it up. Or if I ever need more knowledge on something I can look it up within a few seconds. I think that the internet has giving us the opportunity to help us learn faster especially when we have no time in school or to go to a library to look up something or learn something new.

My dream vacation would have to be to California.

I would get there in a plane.

I would stay in a hotel with a nice view.

I would eat at In-N-Out.

I would would go to the Santa Monica Pier for fun.

The internet has changed a lot about me and how I go across things. One of the things that it has changed in my life has been the way I handle money. Handling money using the internet has made it way easier for me when it comes to payments or helping me save up money. Like everyone else I have bills to pay and sometimes it’s hard to manage payments for every single thing whether it’s credit cards or phone bills the internet has giving us a easier way to make them and not having to remember when to pay. And that is bu automatic payments. This is a money transfer scheduled on a predetermined date to pay a bill. And most bill have it online and it makes it easier for me to just se a date and don’t have to worry about having to call or go online to pay something every single month. But the internet has not only made it easier to pay bill but also to save up. I am able to keep track of my balances and also it has helped me create or look up ways to help saving money easier and faster. The internet has really changed the way I handle money in a positive way.
