Overall, my experience with the scavenger hunt was a pleasant one. It gave me the chance to collaborate and use skills from other people. I will say that I was surprised about how quickly my group completed the work. We were able to do this thanks to technology. My group split up the work by taking pictures of the sections we needed to work on. We then created a shared Google Doc so we could quickly copy and paste the information we found. Thanks to our technology my group finished the fastest and won! The greatest advantage of having access to this information so quickly is being able to learn information about someone. For example, if you are an employer it is valuable to look up and build a history about a person. You might want to verify a person worked on certain projects or see what their social media presence is like. Also, there is and advantage of being accessible to people. This online accessibility can also be dangerous because people could use it for nefarious r...

Overall, my experience in creating this simple web page was very easy. I have used HTML for the past 3 years. I learned HTML because of my internship at Adobe. Once I learned, I just kept advancing and advancing. I created the page with ease and tried to pinpoint the necessary elements. To complete the assignment, I used the assignment outline which helped me keep my page simple. Once I figured out what I needed, I just started checking things off my checklist. The one tag I hadn’t used before was “<marquee>”. It was really cool and something I want to use again. I didn’t really know HTML had those movement capabilities. I had believed you needed JavaScript for those kinds of things. It makes me want to do more research on tags like this. I would definitely want to use tags like that for future projects. Also, I learned that using ima...
To start off, there are some obvious differences. Like mail is a physical thing that can be touched and has to be moved throughout the actual world. Email is a message that is virtual and can move through various servers to reach its destination. Mail and Email both require you to identify who will be receiving it and where. To do this, they use a different kind of addresses. Mail uses physical addresses that contain a postal address. Email uses a virtual address that is assigned to an individual or entity. Another thing, mail needs to be sent in a physical casing. You can’t just send the information without protection from other viewers and environmental things. With email, you can just send the information. Granted, the information is encrypted but that is completed through whatever email service is being used. Lastly, email and mail are very different forms of spreading information. Email and traditional mail are similar because they both are methods of delivering information. Em...
I would like to learn new perspectives about technology and it’s the role that it plays in society. I generally have a very positive perspective on new technology. I never really stop to think about the possible impacts on society. As someone interested in the field of Computer Science, I need to actively participate in what I will be apart of. This includes critically thinking about innovations. I need to think about who these technological innovations will impact and how. Also, I have to remember that these things influence society and daily lives. I often forget the fact that what happens in the virtual world impacts real life. I don’t want to participate in things that will possibly cause harm to anyone. I believe this class will help me build the skills to question the technology that exists around me. Also, I think this class will be a class that I can truly enjoy. Most of my classes are required and necessary to fulfill the university’s general education requirements. This class...
