Scavenger Hunt

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 reasons. People could use information collected online to stalk you. They could find out where you live, where you work and details about your family. Also, your information online could be used against in different settings. For example, things you have posted online could be used by judicial courts and be held against you. Things you have nonchalantly posted could lead into all kinds of trouble. Finally, the internet allows you to access a. aid e range of information on people but may create problems.

A Visit From Erik Hanberg

Erik Hanberg’s visit to our class was very interesting. He gave us insight on what it’s like to be an entrepreneur in the age of the internet. Erik talked a lot about how he created income for himself through his various interests. He currently self-publishes a wide range of novels. Erik does through tools at his disposal the internet. He hires people to edit his writing, create book covers, and give him audience feedback. I thought this was extremely cool that he could do it all on his own. This reminded me how much the internet has truly changed this. It has given people the freedom to pursue many opportunities within their interests. It also gives people more accessibility than they had before.  People can do so many more things independently. Like become their own publishers. Erik also described all the steps he took to get his name out there as a budding author. He talked about buying email addresses and sending them information about one of his book he did not yet write. On top

HTML Experience + A Simple Web Page

            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 image links from Google don’t work. I usually don’t take image links from the internet so that was important new info

Mail vs. Email

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
