.com stuff

1. Go to http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/new-fantasyland/ and look around it a little bit. Now go to http://www.byteland.org/angeloflife. Now why do you think the .com website is more exciting than the .org website? 
Because .org means organization. Also .com is more known to people organization is used when you want people to donate money to you .com is commercial to make money and to create revenue.
 
2. Why do you think the Disney website has more hyperlinks, advertisements, and other distracting options to click on?
Because Disney has been with us seems a long time and more people now more about Disney.

3. If you had to construct/create your own webpage from the beginning, what would you want it to be about and why?
I would want it to be a blogger because when you have a blogger you get to say what you want to say and you get money for it depending on the number of views.


4. How many programmers do you think would have to work with you to make your website possible? Would it seem impossible to construct/create a webpage by yourself? Why? 
Just two, and I would think it would be impossible because I don't know how to make the adds and the animations and the special effects of a website and its too much work.


5. What would you want to name your website? Type that name into the web-address bar, is it taken already?
Roblox/talk/with/me.com
and its not taken


6. Explain why webpages with flash videos, images, and color take longer to load than pages with only text?
Because all those things are like pages and the more pages you have open the longer it will take to open them.

POLLS post questions

For question 1,2,3 are not answered because my polls had technical difficulties so I didn't get any results from the students nor did they have access to it.
 
4.If you wanted to do an online poll with the students of Technologico de Montorrey asking them how much time and effort they spent doing homework this year, what are the steps you would take to complete that online poll?
I will first make the online poll then I would put easy question first then hard question. Then I will tell the directory of the school to make the students do them.
 
5.Do you think online polling could help the administration of Tech de Montorrey find out more about their students? Or do you think that the results would not be accurate? Why or why not?
I would think no because most students just do the questions fast without thinking thus the directory not knowing the truth about their students. And other methods will be more accurate than the polls.
 
6.How do you think the results of your polls would be different if you asked your classmates the questions in person?
Well even though my polls had technical difficulty I would think the results of asking them personally would be more accurate than a online poll.
 
7.In what ways do you think online polling using Google Spreadsheets can be improved? Or was it easier to create an online poll than you originally thought? Explain.
It was  so much easier making an online poll. I originally thought it was hard and very difficult even though my poll had technical difficulties.

assignment 4

1. Discuss what the main idea of the video is? The main idea of the video is to inform the audience about how different the generation we are living in today is from the past generations.

 2. Do you see yourself as past oriented or future oriented? Why?
I see myself more future oriented than past oriented. Because I look more to the future than the past because I change what I did in the past and go to the future.

 3. Do you agree or disagree with the speaker in the video? Explain why? 
I agree with the speaker of this video because when I think about the things he said it made me realize that our generations are both improving but loosing many values at the same time. He mentions how American families are decreasing the time they spend together, and how teenagers are dropping out of school because they get upset when they cant control everything like in videogames and society continues to fall apart due to our dependence on technology.
 4. Do you agree with the speaker's view that young adults' minds are being "digitally rewired"? Explain your answer.

 5. Why does the narrator in the video argue that young people dislike a single-function device such as a wristwatch?  
Young people dislike single-function devices such as the wristwatch because we are used to utilizing devices that are multi-functional and make our life a lot easier. We are too lazy to even do a simple thing such as figuring out the time on a watch that is not digital. this is upsetting because we want everything to be easy and done with no effort.

 2. What are the benefits of having "web addresses," an idea that Sir Tim Berner's Lee created?
The benefits of having Web Addresses are that it is easier for a person to access the desired web page. If we had to use the code it would be a lot of more work having to memorize each code for the desired web page.  3. How does the World Wide Web allow people from all over the world to communicate?
It allows everyone all over the world to communicate because by using the internet we can communicate with people that are all around the world. Well we use facebook to communicate with other people around the world.

 It is important to link information because we are able to access it more quickly without having to look for the web page again. The benefits of having access to the information is that it encourages people to do it due to the fact that it takes less effort.
