Ohh Blogging. When i first started this in January Blogs were this amorphous blobs. Who exactly blogs anyways? Week to week i added to my litle portfolio espanding my thoughts and opinions about where these posts come from. I'm just not sure if it's for me...
I don't like blogging regularly. I just can't bring myself to turn on the computer, suffer through password on password (always different for max. security) and then pouring my heart and soul onto a 20' screen. I just don't care enough. It's really neat to see how i've grown and what i've learned, but until i really feel the need to connect with others through the internet and blogs I think i'll just trot on over to my friend's room and share the newest tidbit of juicy celeb gossip...
That's all there is folks!

The Newest Froniter
My how things have changed... Techonlogy is moving so fast and so many different directions its hard to keep up -let alone know which direction to move in. There are so many different cool applications and new ways to use technology. One article suggests a site where you can find pictures other people took of you while on vacation. It's something i've thought of before:
When you're on vaction think of all the camera dodging, stopping, and haulting you do when everyone around you is taking pictures. Now think of how many you're in, maybe in the side of the frame, maybe even with a really irritated look on your face. Wouldn't it be great if you could look through everyone's pictures and find the ones you're in? I think so too...
Well, now with technology it could be possible. The main concern with all these new applicaitons and ideas is always going to be security. If so many things have changed from my parents time to mine, i would how much it will change by the time i'm 50.

Where You At?
Where You At? Boost Mobile's catch phrase can sum up over half of the phone conversations I have. Back in middle school and high school I would spend hours upon hours of time talking to people (mostly boys) on my house phone and later my cell phone. Now, I use my phone for txting people and to simply call them and find out where they are. Wouldn't it be nice if you could just use your phone to find out where all your friends are at? That was the premise of Boost Mobile's introduct of the Loopt Phone, where you could find out where your friends are at.
However, this was several years ago and the phenomenom has still yet to catch on. It seems like phone companies think now is that time...
I'm not sure how this is going to go, but it would pretty neat, in theory. If theres a way to eliminate or decrease the risk of stalkers and theieves this new gps technology will have a huge impact on the social lives of teenagers and tweens everywhere. I know it would be much easier to turn on a tracker to let my friends know where i am and that i'm bored. I wonder who would show up....

What do YOU think?
It seems like everyone on the internet has an opinion one way or the other. And they will not hesitate to tell you every intimate detail of what they think, why they think it and what you should do about it. This is a politican's dream, at least in terms of reading their public. The internet has became a huge forum and tool for the new candidates to gauge their audince and better yet, reach out to them. They are able to show they care about the younger, computer savy, generation and want to interact with them. In fact, the debates were broadcasted on youtube.com this year! I think that the internet has definatly helped the candidates reach the younger generation. Even if i missed the debates, i can go see watch them online whenever I want like a debate Obama and Clinton had in Ohio about healthcare.
These types of videos help the candidates reach more people and expand their influence and opinions to those who normally wouldn't know or understand them. The internet also allows anyone to post their own thoughts and opinions on how politicians are preforming their jobs and what and how they should go about changing their ways. This is good, as long as the person realizes not to take every morsel of advice literally.
The internet also enales funny videos like this is appear about our beloved candidates.
