Journal - What are your hobbies and extra curricular activities? Where do you spend your free time? Tell me three of your favorite things (movies, TV show, magazine, sport, color, etc.)

I enjoy running a lot. I also like watching Netflix all the time; Mostly the show Doctor Who. I like sleeping the most though. Doing nothing is one of my all time favorite things to do.

I spend my free time either sleeping or watching Netflix. I enjoy doing nothing very much but that hobby has been brutally and mercilessly stolen from me by the clutches of a place they call "School".

Journal - What are some qualities of a good presentation? How can you make a boring presentation interesting? Explain.

A good presentation has interesting points to catch the watchers attention. It has bright colors, but not so much so your watcher gets distracted from the point you're trying to make. Don't be monotone, have excitement in your voice. 

A bad presentation has lots of animations and way too many colors that distract the watcher from the point being made. The presenter is monotone and would bore the watcher. It also has no point and doesn't convince the watcher.

Journal - Tell me if you agree with this statement and then explain why or why not. "Images on the internet are 'free game' - if someone posted I should be able to use it."

I do not agree with the statement because if the user who posted it worked hard on the image, then he wouldn't want people taking it without permission and not giving the original poster credit.
 The poster should say if the image can be publicly used or not.
Although it is very easy to steal pictures, people often think it's okay to steal original work.

Journal - What is the importance of online safety and protecting your information? What do you do to protect yourself online? Share an experience you or someone you know has had with online safety.

Online safety is important because someone you don't want to know who you are may know where you live, your name, and other personal information you don't want random people to have. Someone could come to your house and steal your valuables or could cause harm to yourself or others in your house. 
 To protect yourself from online safety by not giving out your personal information to random strangers; and if someone you know is giving out their personal information, tell them the hazards of putting that information to random people.

Journal - Tell me what you know about Web 2.0. List example Web 2.0 sites. Are you on any sites that let you “post” information? What are those sites? How often do you use them? What do you post on them?

Web 2.0 allows people to talk to each other and interact with one and other. For example, social networking sites are included in Web 2.0. It could be very useful for collaborating with other other co-workers for example.
