My spring break

my spring break was really good and exciting, i had a lot of fun times with friends and it gave a lot of free time to finish up some applications and after high school life preperations. it was also tiring because i worked a lot at a greenhouse farm with John Slot, it was a good experience and i had learned a lot from it, it was a new learning experience but it was tiring. everyone there was old but awesome so its all good. overall, my spring break was really good and rewarding.

Tutorial for poker table google sketchup

My tutorial that i have watched and performed was the poker table. The proccess in constructing the table was not hard. The tutorial had been extrememly detailed and helpful in helping to manuvure my pointer in the direction it had to be in and had careful instructions on which items to complete first. I enjoyed this assignment because it gave me the creativity to add on or change things in ways that i could have never imgained. knowing how to use shapes and devices on google sketchup helps me through future assignments so that they may improve and be better every time. i find that google sketchup is even more intresting, now that i have seen this tutorial and have seen a lot more of what the application is capable of.

What i have learned from yesterday's class.

 In IT class, i have learned many things that count towards my life lessons and how i should behave, or act in society. The rules that we have spent the class learning how the internet can affect our lives drastically. It can alter our thoughts, and change our minds, or penetrate the ways of our thoughts to manipulate us. The internet can be a great place to communicate and takes everyday tasks a lot easier to accomplish. Technology has come to an advance that virtually anything can be done through the comjputer. The computer can help us a lot easier when doing homeowork, essays, papers, resumes for our jobs and careers. We depend on the computer so much that for some of us, we spend more than half our day in front of it which may lead to hazards such as internet hackers, or criminals who try to pursuade and seem friendly but in reality, behind the screens and pixels is another criminal trying to manipulate others to have everything that they want. When we use our computers, our identity is hidden. We become whoever we want and so through this , not only are we in danger, but everyone else in the world. The world adapts to the media so that it becomes "trustworthy" or "safe". companies are constantly coming up with protection systems that not always works. Some think that through having these, that they are completely safe and they dont need to worry about anything else and that they cannot be targeted as an internet target, but thats not true because whenever there is a way to protect the internet using technology, there is a way to manipulate and destroy, or hack through it with technology. The internet can be a useful place and make work easier when used the right way, but when we are not cautious, we can be a target for a dangerous future.
