First Time Using the Internet
As a child from the era the Internet had become something larger, I can truly connect with your story of your first time using the Internet. What I find interesting about your post is your choice to limit the amount of Internet time and social media time you have decided to use. My first thought about this would have to be on the line of wondering why you would choose to limit yourself from such a vast pool of information and entertainment. After thinking about it, I realized just how much I actually use the internet and find that your self imitations is a sense of control that most people don’t have when it comes to the internet.It’s funny how similar our uses to the Internet have been. You’re talk about using MySpace and AIM to get information from people is the absolute truth. The reliability of them as a teen was important to me too. The major thing that is difference in opinion is how I find that these social medias are still strongly important to my personal connections. I don’t entirely believe that the limitation of using the social media sites is help. I don’t think I could stay away as well as you do.Web 2.0
Social media positive and negatives
You talk about social media being harmful to grammar and spelling errors, but it seems almost nonchalant. Many professionals feel that it is making many students have horrible sentence structure and all together the inability to produce a solid piece of writing. Your defense that parents should be teaching children how to use social media seems like a good idea. Most kids think that they are fun and games, but truly don’t understand the trouble that can come from being on those websites. Over all, I do believe that you make some strong points throughout your article, but I am just a little curious on where the information is from and if there are any solutions to the problems that you pointed out.
Video Review
It was interesting to read your personal thoughts about the way the videos were made and how they made you feel. I think that you have a decent grasp of video production, which enabled you to do this so well. While I was reading through, I could honestly tell exactly how each video made you feel deep down. The use of exclamation marks and word choice made these very enjoyable to read.
The way you talked about the video “My Life” made me laugh a bit. The very first sentence, “The quality of this video is AMAZING!” It made me smile. I like how expressive you started when talking about this peace, though the fact the quality was the first thing you had to say was funny. I also agree with you about the music to the video. To me it seemed to be very cheery and upbeat. I liked it a lot myself. After reading the part about the chessboard, it kind of made a click in my head. Though I noticed it, while I was watching the video, it just didn’t click the way it did in your head. That was a really good catch.
I really think that you did a wonderful job with the reviews.

First time on the internet
So many creepy people are still on the Internet; they’ve just gotten better at what they do. Thinking back to all those times that I was on the Internet dealing with people like that, you’re so right that it wasn’t safe. I don’t honestly think that any of us knew how dangerous it actually were to be in those chat rooms! Your connection of twitter being similar to chat rooms makes a lot of sense. I would have never thought to make that connection at all. How you were able to point out the power of twitter, by using the Michael Jackson story about his death, was great (even the part about your mom was funny). To simply put it this was a great article.
You have a style of writing that is fascinating. Reading this, I found myself laughing a lot. You have a great way of connecting with you audience on a personal level, which seems to be difficult sometimes with social media. I think that your stories are very well centered on the subject about your first time, though you might not remember your first time using the Internet. You did a really great job with this, I think.

Web 2.0
The two articles that you have posted along with yours offer a great reading material about the subject of Web 2.0 and social media. Though I was only able to scrim through each of these articles very briefly, there was a lot of useful content that I found inside of them. I feel that I was able to get some information from this post that I didn’t know myself.
Social Media Positive and Negative
Reading this was both hilarious and informing, which to me is an amazing mix, hard to find on such a painfully boring topic. You have a gift to make things interesting that’s for sure.
As for the actual post, I felt that I had some valid points to it. Your personal story about you sister wanting to be on Facebook, while at the beach was crazy. Who in their right mind doesn’t know what to do at a beach to have fun? It seems that its time for people to teach these young things what life is about.
The subject of cyber-bullying I thought was a very important one to discuss. With it being such a major threat to thousands of people, even millions, many people don’t realize how serious it gets. I felt that you did a good job at covering the subject wish a serious tone, as was needed. It isn’t something easy to talk about, but you seemed to handle it quite well.
The end, when you talked about positives of social media, you didn’t need much to make it stand strong. I think that you put enough information to make people agree on the positives and not let the out weight the negative too much. This was very well balanced.

Video Review
At first glace, I was very confused with what exactly I was
looking at. After a moment to let my
eyes and mind adjust to the way this was formatted, I got down to reading. I have to first mention that you did a great
job showing your favorite and then your least.
It shows that you liked some and others you found terrible. It was even better placing visuals on you
post. It helps to remind me of the
videos that I’ve already scene. I really
appreciated seeing them, though at times they became somewhat of a distraction. The picture of your notes interested me. I thought that your little scribbles added a
personal touch to the post, which otherwise might not have been there with
words alone. Over all, the critiques of the videos seemed to be fair. Your opinion hold strong validations to what
you’re stating and even if I were to disagree with you, I could see why you
said what you did. I would have to say
that you did a great job with creating this post. I would like to read some
more of you video post another time to see what you think about the rest of the
videos.
Though you had some great points about web 2.0 and social media, I feel that you were lacking in explaining a bit more of the extent that social media has had on the population of the users of the Internet. Though social media is a major point to how it was utilized, there are still so many ways that it is being used. Maybe presenting a bit more knowledge upon those other topics might have been a useful to explaining the many different uses for Web 2.0
Your discussion on Apps seems to be a good basis as well as your social media. I think that again personal experience has helped you to talk about the subject. Over all, I feel that your information about specific parts of web 2.0 are well rounded and understood by you in a way only a person with experience could.
