Today in class we worked on our Imovie. My group and I are working on Blackbeard the Pirate. I learned alot about him that I never knew. Blackbeard was a famous pirate. We acted out a skit! My technology choice is an article from http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/06/13/gentech/main1707449.shtml that talked about how technology makes life alot easier! They talked about how parents should be watching out for their kids. Technology is now a nice way to entain yourself! This article said they worry about kids and their little techno-toys! They said that technology's Myspace is just like hanging out with a neighbor. And instant messaging is meaningful communication. They said telivisions and computer screens shouldn't be put infront of kids intell they are somewhere older than 3-7 years old. Cell phones, computers, Ipods, etc. are far down the list from things to worry about kids. They also mentioned that the Internet is a big invention and that it is hard to measure such things in present tense!
