Technologies in Development Part 1

        Out if the 6 technologies in the article the one I think that the flying cars won't one because I mean it would be a lot of work ant it really far fetched because they would be all new rules and stuff to go with it also.

     The one I think that will have the biggest impact on society is the bio metric seat research biggest it is just pretty cool and it makes sense.

     The first technology used that will be used in cars is the driver less car biggest there is already technology that can park itself, and it probably won't be long before it will drive by its self.

     The Ford's bio metric seat research will make the driver and passengers safer because it can sense if the driver is stress and so the car will do different things that will make the stress level go down, if the stress level goes down then its less of a chance of an accident.

     My opinion on the flying car is that I think that it could possibly get in the way of airlines and that not much people would buy them also that its not really practical. Some disadvantages could be that the car would look weird also that the car may not be allowed to fly certain places, and advantage would that you could get to place quicker, also there will be no traffic.

In my opinion I think that driver less cars do take away from the driving experience, I also think that maybe this type of technology has gone to far.

Automobile Timeline

1911 Electric starter introduced:


Charles Kettering made the electric starter. They use to have to be started by hand cranking. People said no one could make some thing small enough to fit under a car’s hood to start it. His starters came in the 1912 Cadillacs. I found it interesting because I never knew who invented it and when they came out.

1926 First power steering system:

Francis Wright Davis uses a Pierce-Arrow to introduce the first power steering system. It works by integrating the steering linkage with a hydraulics system. I chose that one because power steering helps to make the car very luxuries for driving.

1950's Cruise control:

Developed Ralph Teeter, a blind man, senses by ear that cars on the Pennsylvania Turnpike travel at uneven speeds, which he believes leads to accidents. Through the 1940s he develops a cruise control mechanism that a driver can set to hold the car at a steady speed. Unpopular when generally introduced in the 1950s, cruise control is now standard on more than 70 percent of today’s automobiles. 


1966 Electronic fuel injection system:

Developed An electronic fuel injection system is developed in Britain. Fuel injection delivers carefully controlled fuel and air to the cylinders to keep a car’s engine running at its most efficient. I picked this because fuel injection was a big part of the cars now and fuel efficiency.

1985 Antilock braking system (ABS):

Available on American cars The Lincoln becomes the first American car to offer an antilock braking system (ABS), which is made by Teves of Germany. ABS uses computerized sensing of wheel movement and hydraulic pressure to each wheel to adjust pressure so that the wheels continue to move somewhat rather than "locking up" during emergency braking.

Assignment #1:Fast Internet Speeds in Canadian Small Towns

1.The speed of the internet in a rural communities is mostly 1000 megabits per second is what the article said.

2. These rural communities are getting faster internet speeds that's being offered from Rogers, Bell or Shaw because they are installing their own high-speed internet and fiber-optic cables.

3. The community is fortunate because there thinking ahead to provide the best technology available.

Journal #6: Digital Business

The thing I found surprising about this unit is that so many people use Paypal. I thought people that people with ebay accounts are the only one with Paypal accounts. Its kinda confusing to me that PayPal is still in business because  they don't charge barely anything so there must be a lot of users to keep it going. Yes i purchase stuff online all the time like parts and accessories and i never got scammed using it before and i used well over 10 times. I never sold any thing on that website though and i don't know it i would or not.

Assignment #2: PayPal

PayPal

1) Paypal is American online money transfer company that allows you to buy, sell or transfer money over the internet. Its so popular probably because theres not as much people that get spammed on there.

2) Paypal keeps your identity safe while shopping at all online stores by keeping your personal information anonymous. Dad and I just gave your bank information, and Paypal securely stores it for us.

3) PayPal makes there money by charging a small fee to all its sellers.

4) Also PayPal gives you a 14 day returning in case you don't like it or it don't fit and they included free return shipping cost.

5) Yes because it is quick, and easy, and secure. So my seller would be safe with his information.

 6) Once I compared Paypal to Google Wallet I found that I preferred Paypal more. I preferred Paypal more than the others because it seems more helpful and secure. Also i use Paypal personal.

Assignment #1: Shopping Carts?

Assignment #1:

1. The 2 biggest reasons people still shop at stores?:
a) To try on clothes and make sure they fit right.
b) There might better deal's in the store that isn't online.

 2. What are the 2 biggest reasons people shop online?:
a)A lot of stores have their deals online instead of in stores because it’s easier buy you don't have to run to town.
b) They don’t have to be hiring or paying any people to sell there product.

3. I shop both online and in stores. Equally I buy any snowmobile, four wheeler or dirt bike parts online because its cheaper and I buy most of my clothes in the stores so I can try it on.

4. I think there will be a lot more online shopping done because there will probable be drones in the future that will deliver the product right to your door.

5. I think Canada Post is going to focus on digital shopping because people won't be sending as much letters if you could just e-mail because it is so much faster.

6. They could make there return policies a bit quick so it won't take as long.

Journal Entry #5 (Digital Wellness)

After I finished the unit on digital wellness, there are a few things that surprised me. One thing was noticing how much time people spend using all the different technology. Including cellphones. When we do the meter stick thing, it showed how far you can go while texting and driving. It basically shows that you have no control of the vehicle if you are texting while driving. I did not find this unit difficult in any way. The only thing I can think of that may have been difficult for me would be having to think of five pledges and remembering them.
I think the biggest problem for young people when it comes to digital wellness would be the amount of time they spend on technology everyday. I can think of people that will not do anything without their phone. It is like an addiction too some people. It is not healthy to spend that much time on it. I would say a maximum of five hours a day is more than enough time with technology.

Assignment #2: The Pledge

I pledge to be on the internet for the maximum of 2 hour.
I pledge to put my work before the internet.
I pledge to not forget to eat when I am browsing the web.
I pledge to make sure I spend more time outside and doing physical things than being on the computer.
I pledge to stop using the internet at 10 so I can have healthy sleeping habit.

Assignment #1: One Mississippi

1. Seeing this distance in meter sticks, it made me feel like i never want to look away from the road. Even thought it does not seem like a far distance when your think of it just being a second, but it is actually quite long and especially dangerous if someone looked away for more than one second.

2. One way this is effective is because it makes you think about looking away from the road and helps people be more responsible with their actions. One reason it may not change anything because people may think that sort of thing would never happen to them and will not think about it again until it may be too late.

3. Something that would help with the problem of people looking away is a device for the car that will allow you to speak to it and receive calls by talking freely so you don't have to look down at your phone.

4. If I was in a car with a distracted driver, I think I would tell them because it is important that they are aware of the road because a lot of people could get hurt from just one person looking away from the road and could lead to possible deaths.

Journal Entry #4 (Netiquette)

Something I found most surprising when it comes to issues around netiquette would be how you can be so rude without even realizing half the time. No I don't think that most Internet users read or concern themselves with the terms of service/use agreements when joining a site or online service because they want to just hurry up and get on the site or its way too much to read. They should go over the terms of agreement because a lot of things they are agreeing to can affect them in the near future. Considering the different issues this unit looked at about behaving appropriately online, on a scale of 1-10 I would rate my own online behaviour as an 8 because I am not perfect online because I don't read the terms of agreement but I'm never bad or rude online. One thing I can take away from this unit and put in practice to improve my online behaviour would be learn how to take the time to read through the terms of service agreement because I never do and my luck something will happen in the future because I did not read them. I think the biggest issue when it comes to netiquette would be like I said reading the terms.

Assignment #3: "Netiquette" Online Discussion Boards

1. Many of these guidelines are similar to how we expect people to act face to face because it is like the same thing. When talking face to face people try to be polite, respectful and be nice, the same goes for people talking on the internet.

2.- Don’t bad mouth and call people names online because you wouldn't want them doing it to you
-Don’t write anything as sarcastic that someone might take wrong if you think it's funny but they might take it the wrong way
 -Don’t cause fights with someone online just because you can’t see them doesn’t mean it’s going to hurt less
-If someone says something that hurts your feelings but they didn’t intend to don't hold it against them just accept their apology and get over it.

3. Yes I have made a comment on something before not in a negative way just to either tag someone into a funny video or something like that. I haven’t made a comment to hurt anyone's feelings or make anyone feel out of place.

4. I don't know if I would enjoy a class like that but some people need to have a class like that because some girls don’t know how to treat other people online they need to be taught right from wrong so I don’t know if I would like a class like that but i think it would be beneficial.

Assignment #2: "Netiquette" Do As I Say

Five reasons that will make me choose the right way of doing things in a digital society are:
1. I want to be happy so I will post and look at happy things.
2. Some cyber crimes can result in jail time and I do not want to go to jail.
3. If I post the wrong or bad things people will get a bad impression of me.
4. I would want credit for work I post so I will not download things illegally.
5. I don't want viruses or to spread them so I will stay on safe websites.

Assignment #1: "Netiquette" Online Standards of Service Use

5 companies that use the terms and service agreements or have major conditions before use would be Kijiji, Snap Chat, Twitter ,Facebook and Instagram. 5 services that teens should look into further or consider further before continuing to sign up would be, if they host your photo, they also own it. This means once you posted a photo on a social media site, an add might appear up of that picture with inappropriate drawings on it. This happens because you agreed to the terms of use of this site. Another service would be, you do not own what you bought. This means you aren't really buying the file, you are just buying a license to it. Another service is, they can turn your device into an expensive brick. This means you agreed that you promise not to mess with the software. Another service would be, Onstar is narcing you out. This means you agreed for OnStar to do what it advertises, it has to include a machine inside your car that tracks your every move. One more service would be itunes knows who you are and what you are doing. This means once you agree, Apple is able to see your precise location. I found all this information.

Journal Entry #3 (Digital Rights and Responsibilities)

Something I found most surprising when it comes to digital rights and responsibilities was how doing stuff online is similar to doing stuff in real life just like the 10 commandments. I do not think many people act responsible online because most people think that it's a free world online and think they can do what ever they want without getting into trouble. Not very many people follow the 10 digital responsibilities commandments. Out of the 10 commandments I created, the one I think is most important would be "You Shalt Not Cyberbully" because cyber bullying is a very serious issue and is the cause of many deaths from suicide and I think it is important for people to know the consequences of cyber bullying. I think the biggest issue around digital rights and responsibilities among young people would be, again the cyber bulling one because in today's society cyber bullying is a really big concern and it his happening all the time.

Assignment: Digital Rights and Responsibilities

Journal #2: Digital Communication

Something I found very interesting about digital communication was that there was a lot more acronyms and abbreviations then i realize that there would be, I will use some of  the new ones that i learned, now that I know what they mean. A few things I learned from the email etiquette would be not to use all caps in emails because  they said it seems like you are roaring at them . Another thing I learned is to always sign your name at the end of an email. Also I learned to make sure your attachments are put into the right format so people can open them a bit easier. The BCC is a copy of an email message sent to recipient whose email address does not appear. It is best to use the Blind Carbon Copy feature when sending to a large group of people. The biggest issue on digital rights and responsibilities in young people would be is cyber bullying. They think it is okay to harass and hurt people just because they are behind a screen and not face to face.

Assignment #2 (Acronyms Attack)

1. Three more acronyms/abbreviations can be WBU stands for What Bout You, SC stands for Snap Chat, and OIC stands for Oh I See.

2. 4 places I would never use acronyms or abbreviations digitally would be, texting my dad because never know what they stand for. Another place would be typing an essay or a story for school because it is bad grammer. Also through email because usually when I use email I am communicating with someone very proper or who wouldn't understand acronyms. I wouldn't use it in a resume for a job either.

Communication Compass (Assignment One)

1.Electronic exchanging of information is digital communication.
2. Four digital communication advantages are, keep in contact with people at all times, makes it easy to keep and eye on things such as your kids, it makes it easy to connect with people from all around the world no time and paper is wasted with writing letters.The four digital communication disadvantages are, people can hack into your digital life, you often don't think about what you are writing before you hit send, it is unreliable because it can not be recognized by a signature, and it makes your work portable so it then consumes peoples lives.
3. Three forms of digital communication that are popular today are, Email, cellphones/texting and video chatting. These three are the most popular because they are the most up to date and convenient, they allow technology right at our fingertips where and when we want it.
 4. Three forms of digital communication I think will not be around much longer are my space/email, different forms of social media, and land lines. I think these will no longer be around because we are growing around new forms of technology and the old stuff is growing old and nobody uses it.
5. Five locations where we should really not use digital communication are work place, at dinner/family gatherings, with close friends, with family that lives close to you, and school.
6. Two forms of digital communication that represent the greatest dangers are cyber bulling/bulling/internet abuse, and lack of privacy and security. These can easily occur when using the internet, bullies rarely think before they type and don't know what they say really can effect someone, also it is very easy for someone to get your personal information via the internet and on your social media accounts without you realizing.
7. I think human kids with continue to be more and more connected, they will grow up on technology and will never learn to live without it, they will rely on it, and the will become obsessed. I think this because once you have something in your life for such a long time everyday it becomes to imagine your life without it. So they would rather die than give up their cellphones.
8. If a person were to die and leave behind all their online communications I think they should put it in their will what they want done with their belongings, whether or not they want it destroyed or contributed to the internet. If they die unexpectedly then I think it should be up to their loved ones what to do with the information, for example if they didn't have the passwords then the online communication should be destroyed. I think what they want done with their digital communications should be entirely up to them, it's their work and it should be their choice.

Journal #1: Digital Security

I was very surprised when I found that there is a process to making a password. You have to have a secure password in order to keep your information safe from other people. I found it difficult that you need to have a password about a sentence long to keep hackers from hacking my stuff on the internet. It confuses me why someone would want to hack into someones personal belongings anyways. I think I have pretty secure password that no one would figure out. It is something that only I would know. The most important thing to think of while making a password is something long and meaningful to you so that you won't forget it.

Digital Security (Assignment One)

In the worst password list I think some of the passwords are very easy to guess, but there are a few that I would never guess in my life like abode123 for example and qwerty I  wouldn't ever think of either of those. From the list I have used some of these passwords like "1234", "000000" and "111111" I can honestly say that i never used any password like that before so i hope the passwords that i got not easy to guess. My thoughts about the list are it's pretty accurate. Yes I think seniors and adults are more likely to use these passwords because they want something simple to remember so they wont forget, like my father for example uses the same passwords for every thing. Things we can do to save them disastrous consequences would be to show them the list and convince him to change up his passwords. Another password I can relate to is "2468". In order for a modern password to be considered strong is it should not be just one word it should be a full sentence.

I found a app that will help you make music. I think it would be a very useful app for someone that's getting in the the music business and needs a little help getting going because i don't no anything about music and even i can make a little song with a half decent beat to it. I also got another app that would be good for games in you were doing a project and you needed a break for a while you can just play a game.
