Group work

I must say I am very happy with my group. I feel that we all work well together. We all do a great job of listening to each other at al times. We also have a great collaborating energy. We have been able to include everyones art in our project which is awesome. No only are we able to include everyones art we are able to include the love and they joy we all have for our art. Our first meeting went very well. Within the first couple of minutes we were able to establish a project focus that we all could agree with. SOOOOOOO WOOOOP WOOOOP to team LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL

BROWSER friendly

As I think back in my old age of 25. I remember the days when I only used explorer as my web browser. If I used someone else's computer and it wasn't explorer I immediately shut down and said "WHAT IS THIS" However as years went by more technology came my way I became more comfortable with using other browsers. During my beginning computer years firefox was the only think I knew however I always ran into problems. For example it would not open certain sites. I couldn't view certain videos.  So with the constant uncertainty I switch to safari and never looked back.

NYU Classes

I DISLIKE NYU CLASSES!!!!!!!
Im just not a fan. Honestly I understand all the good that can come from it but my initial interaction with it was horrible. I was completely confused and did not understand how to move around in it. I must say Im a bit bias I absolutely love blackboard. During my first two years of undergrad I was not a computer person. I didn't get on Facebook until sophomore year and I didn't become fluent in blackboard until sophomore year. In saying all of that I hate change. I was just so comfortable with blackboard. I mean I knew the ins and outs of it. I mean even figured out how to communicate with others using blackboard. I didn't have to search through emails or school contacts to communicate with a teacher. Unfortunately now Im back to ground zero. Granted it is a little easier and the words are bigger. At this point Im happy to be graduated no more change hahahahahahah.

How I feel about technology!!

I feel technology didn't start making sense until college. During my middle school days I was forced to have a cell phone due to my commute to school. If I could count how many times I accidentally changed the language to something other than english I would be rich. I became nervous every time I had to type or go near a commuter. While all my other friends had the latest gadgets, phones, laptops, and even music players. I was content with m same big nokia.

My last year of high school was my turning point. I realized that in order to stay organized, apply for colleges, research schools and things online i needed to be updated with technology. Once I received my first HP which was bigger than me I couldn't stop. I wanted every technology I could get my hands on. I created excuses and reasons for each of them and how they made my life easier and better. At 25 years old age I feel that their are still things I do not know about technology but Im willing to lean. Technology is a key to another portal or way of life. Technology is cool and difficult at the same time. However if patient it can be a asset to all.
