What is your favorite web tool that we have used in class so far this year? Why is it your favorite web tool? What do you like about it? How can you use it again in the future?

My favorite web tool is Prezi. I like this tool because the look of it is very futuristic and the transitions between slides are very cool. Also it is very easy to add information and pictures to it. I can use it again in the future to give presentations to my clientele.

What makes a presentation memorable? What makes a presentation stand out and not boring? How are you going to make your presentation better than anyone else? How will you make it unique? Explain.
If the speaker is enthusiastic than almost any type of presentation will be memorable. This will also make the presentation stand out. You want the presentation be easy to understand and not have so many words on the presentation. If there are too many words than you are bound to loose the attention of the listeners. I am adding a lot of pictures in my presentation.

What did you learn from the Ted Talk yesterday? Did you find it interesting or accurate? Explain.
I learned that it is not always good to stay connected because if you are always connected you will not be able to learn valuable life skills. If you are always connected you wont know how to have a real conversation in life. It is kind of true how the reason we love social media is because we have the choice to edit who we are and what we say. Also its true how we sent text to feel an emotion not that we feel an emotion so we send a text.

What do you love about the "digital age" that we currently live in? What do you dislike about it? What are positives ways you use technology in your life? What are some things that come along with technology that you don't like? Explain.
It is kind of unique to keep older technology and compare it to newer technology. It is kind of crazy to think how in  matter of 5 years a piece of technology can be so out of date and seem so "slow". The positive ways i use technology in my life is with music and e entertainment. The things i do not like about it is that now  day people are constantly hooked to their phones and never have time to talk or give you full attention.

Tell me about your Homecoming weekend (whether you went to the activities or not!). Tell me about what you did over the weekend.
I did not go to the Homecoming game because I was too tired but I did go to Homecoming. We took pictures for only about 15 minutes than we went to Cinzettes. Our group only consisted of about 16 people total. After dinner we skipped the dance and went to the after party. It was a really fun after party. The next day I had to wake up and go to work at 10 which really sucked. 

What do you know about infographics? What do you know about them? What are their purpose?
Based on the context of the word I think it means they are pictures that supply information to the user. Other than that I do not know anything else about them. This is my first time every hearing this word so I just took a guess here.
