Where Do I Go With Speech and Debate?

This just talks about debating and freedom of speech.Like how well are you in front of crowd. Do you love to debate on an issue. Mainly that's what it talks about like how confident you can be a talk in front of a lot of people. Like talking about the government, acting, sales, broadcasting, law, speechwriting, library, public relations., counseling, and corporate trainer. These all have something to do with debate or speech. Can you do any of these? Maybe you can or maybe not. Try it. I like debate because then you can argue with other people about an issue. Doing a speech is not really my thing, but its alright.

Setting Her Sites

This talk about Robin Liss who was a recent college student who is now a (CEO) of her own company, which is called Reviewed.com. When Liss was 12 years old she started building web sites for fun and making claymation with her own camcorder. One she thought why don't she combined the two things she loves to do so much and make a career out of it, and that's exactly what she did. Because now she has her own company and she runs the whole entire thing. Liss is the youngest one out of all her employees. Liss has strict rules for her employees like: they can not accept gifts from manufactures. and they are not allowed to interact with the advertising sales team. So she's on the ball with her company and says that millions of people every month make a purchase based on what our editors say.

Working on the Railroad

This talks about being an conductor and the ways of the job. On the job conductors take tickets, collect fares, answer passenger's questions, and ensure that the passengers are riding safely. They also have to make sure that the train is in good condition; like making sure all the doors work and the lights. Yardmasters are people who tell the trains where to go and keeping them in on the right track and they do engine cleaning and maintenance by directing trains to the right stations. Being a conductor sounds pretty easy, but its not something I would do. I sounds like fun career job to do though.

E-Learning: The Anytime, Anywhere Option

E-Learning is about online schooling, and working at your own pace, and not have to worry about missing days. Just basically on your own time and anywhere. As long as you have internet. I wouldn't mind taking online courses I mean it would be a lot easier and faster to do ( I could get a lot of work done)and you don't have to worry about sitting in a long boring class room. You could just sit at home or the library. You can even chat with other people that are taking online courses like get help from them besides the teacher. I think that sounds really awesome and quick. I wouldn't mind giving it a try.

Prot3ct th3 D!g!t@l Front!3r

This talks about a crime that was made by Jeanson James Ancheta. He was only 20 years old and a dropout. Jeanson was also in a secret society of hackers called the Botmaster Underground( this allow someone to gain control over the computer system)The hackers were experts at what they did in including Jeasnson, he was able to infect 400,000 computers. When the cyber security specialists at the FBI discovered Jeanson's operation, they went undercover and went to the chat rooms as customers. Jeanson thinking their were just anybody sold some of his bots to them. Jeanson then got caught and was arrested November 2005, he pleaded guilty and was sentences to four to six years in prison. I mean who would do something like this I mean its smart but very wrong. Eventually he would've got caught I mean its the internet you never know who's on it. That's how he got caught thinking the were just some random people and little did he know it was the FBI. How freaked he must of been when they told him about how he got caught. Now he probably learned his lesson and doing something that crazy. I think a few years a prison should make him realize a lot of things. Will he won't being doing this again.

LINKED IN TO MYSPACE

When on Myspace you can get in contact with friends and family and also meet new people. It's really fun I like it a lot. I have Myspace and I love hearing from my friends that I haven't seen awhile. It's a really cool website, you could put your pictures and video's and more stuff on their if you want to. It's another way to reach out the world (sounds cheesy), but anyways. It is faster and more reliable to use (I think. William says that he finds Myspace a perfect avenue for finding music gigs all around the country.

YOU.COM

You.com is a personal website that you have you your personal things. You can choose who ever you want to view your profile like a (URL). You can but you line of work on their and more. Kate Levinson recently graduated from Ithaca College, and she has a her personal profile on you.com and she is looking for a job in the nonprofit field. She controls whatever she wants on her page and everything. Their also another person who is on you.com his name is Jamelle Williams who is an educator as well as a musician. On you.com he is able to share his recording, gigs, performances, resume, and photos. He says its a good marketing tool.

Then their are other ways to get in contact like message boards,or posting a blog, but who have to be careful of what information you put on their because you never know people these days. Other then that the web is just fine and fun too.

Wow! this Jacob guys is really something. I mean fixing computer that must be very interesting to do( I want to try....J/k) I mean not having it go to waste, what his doing is really cool and it helps out a lot people.

Jacobs got many awards, but his not doing this for money his. His just helping and that really cool.



Web-Search Woes
This talks about how 6,300 high school and college students had to evaluate a set of five Web sites for objectivity, authority, and timeliness. Only half of the students found one website and even some of the students had a hard time finding web searches. All of students need to work on their critical thinking skills.

L!ght$! C@m3r@! Act!on!

This talks about being interviewed on computer. Its like a video resume(they call it) Liz Harvey says it would be easier that way. Because talk to them makes it more better then writing it on a sheet of paper. That way you can take a good like at the person who's giving you the interview. All you have to do is be professional, concise, enthusiastic, and balance creativity with professionalism.
