Rotoball Video

I am thinking of doing my video of surfing. I will start of catching a wave and then out of the air would come a ball. This ball will turn into a ........... I haven't figured out what this ball will transform into. It will have to do with something else in the video. Since I am doing it with Pedro Pablo and we both surf, maybe I can be on a surfboard on a wave when I catch the ball and then the ball turns into a boggieboard and then he gets on the boggieboard and gets on the same wave. It will be difficult to film, but it should turn out really sick.

Awesome New Technology

In the video the creator of this new device was showing its purposes and new features for people to use it. While I was watching this video I was thinking to myself, this must be some exclusive technology that won't ever be cheap enough for the average person to buy. At the same time I was thinking of how useful it would be to have your own guide that does everything for you. I personally would not like to have one of these, because I am not really the high-tech guy. Of course I like technology, but I just like the simple stuff. Besides, you could attract a lot of attention to yourself. Especially if you lived in a big city, it would be the worst gadget to have.

I can't believe the things you can do with this new gadget. I mean, it's like having all of your gadgets, such as camera, phone, navigation and computer in one. This new tool is great, because you don't have to carry all of your belongings with you. It would be great for traveling. You could access the internet for email, take photos of historic icons, read the news, and so many other things. The greatest limitation of this device is not being able to use your brain for your actions. I mean this device is so smart that it almost controls your actions.

An open source is a free down loadable software. An open source means that it is open to everyone on the internet. This is good, because this way people will be able to download this software for FREE. The bad thing about having this software out in the public is there might be people that will make copies of this software. The producer of this product will have to make sure that people buy the right software and not something else. This software will turn heads on the street and set a new bar for communication devices.

Online Relationships -- Healthy or Unhealthy?

I have never heard of online relationships. They seem very weird and probably not very healthy for you. Number one, you can't meet the person in real. Online people act much different and have different qualities. Online someone can be a cool kid, while in real life they are a nerd. It might help kids who are bullied at school, but for normal people it is not OK. I just can't explain why it is OK to date online. You just can't meet the person in real life. I don't know of anyone who has dated online. I don't know how popular it is either. It is also unhealthy, because when you break up you feel bad. Maybe in actual life you would see what a loser the other person is. It is like having a girlfriend as a wall. Don't date online kids!

Parenting, Privacy and Control

It might be a good solution, but kids are going to find a way around it. They only way parents are going to be able to control the internet problem is by taking away their computer. I mean, you would have to block facebook.com and other visited sites. The only way you could contact your friends is by phone. Now there are people who want to contact with their friends online, but don't want other strangers to look at there profile. Unfortunately, on facebook it is hard to do that. There is always a way for people to access your pictures and profile. Kidnapping is getting more and more serious online. People are looking for normally girls to stalk. Someone needs to invent a program that can block stalkers and prevetn kids from being online all day long.

Social Networking -- Keeping in Touch

I think keeping in touch with your friends for teenagers is extremely important. If a teenager would not keep in touch with his/her friends they would be left out. It is the way that kids do this networking that is getting out of hand. Every and all afternoon kids are on chat or facebook contacting their friends. This is making them not be able to do the exercise the kids need. That's why kids are getting fatter. Although, kids don't care about their chores. The only thing they care about is talking with their friends, which is by cell phone and computer. It's just the way it is these days.

Spark Notes. Good or bad?

I like the old school style. You should read every book you can. You become a better writer if you read and understand books. Cheat reading is not good for your future. It is even worse if you cheat in school. Spark Notes will only be helpful if you are gathering ideas for a summary from many websites. I think the boy in the video should feel guilty, because he is using Spark Notes to get his work easier. He should also feel guilty because he turned in a fake assignment. Cheat programs like that should be prohibited in schools. If he feels guilty than he should stop doing it.

Computer at Home


I have my own computer, which is a laptop. The computer in my house are used for communicating. I use the computer for homework, surf forecast, sports news, and fun. My parents use the computer for news and email. I really don't use the computer a lot. I am very active and like to do stuff outside. My both parents use the computer as well as I do. My dad is probably the one who uses it the most. It is different from from radios and TVs, because it has all of those things online. It is like all devices but in one.
