How Technology Affects Society
Today's society has been changed so much by technology. There are tools and applications such as Web 2.0, gadgets and widgets, embedded codes, Google wave, Facebook, and Hotmail.
WEB 2.0-
Web 2.0 has benefited society by letting you have applications that help you make creative works. An example of a Web 2.0 is Wordle. There, you can make awesome looking word clouds out of a bunch of random words. You can make the layout horizontal, vertical, mostly horizontal, mostly vertical, every which way, and many others. You can also customize the colors of the font and the background. You can even change the font. Another example would be Flickr. Flickr lets you share your photos with everyone. You do have to have a Flickr account in order to use the application.
Gadgets and Widgets-
Gadgets and widgets have benefited society by letting you add applications and links to blogs and web pages. I find them very helpful when I am trying to make my blog look fun and creative. It also helps let viewers learn a little about the person who made the blog or web page and what they might be interested in.
Embedded Code-
Embedded codes benefit society by letting you share all that you want onto a page. You can embed codes for music videos, games, or anything else you like. They also are something that can help make your pages fun and creative.
Google Wave-
Google Wave has benefited society by letting people have presentations. It can be like an online communication where you can share your videos, maps, pictures, etc., with others. An example of a use for Google Wave would be, if you're inviting people to a party you can keep it organized on who says yes, no, or maybe. I'd say that Google Wave has made things on the computer and in life, a lot more organized. I would definitely use it.
Facebook-
Facebook is my all time favorite out of all of these. It's a site where you can go and connect with old friends and make new ones. Facebook has chat on it, so you can IM your friends and still play on one of Facebook's many applications. Facebook has games, quizzes, polls, surveys, and other applications. It's basically a blog, but it has a bunch more things you can do on it.

Voki.com
Today we played around in voki.com. There, you can make talking avatars! It's pretty cool. I hope you enjoy mine. It looks almost exactly like my dog Laredo. It's also pretty easy to embed your avatar into your blog. For more information, just comment on here with your question.

Lumosity.com
Yesterday, I went to lumosity.com to explore what they had on there. There were some pretty fun games to play that worked your mind. I played a memory matrix game where you have to try to remember where the red blocks are and click those spots and if you get it right, then there will be more blocks added to remember.
I also played Word Bubbles. It was very fun and addicting. It's where you have to type in words that start with 3 certain letters. It may sound really easy, but if you can't think really fast, then you'll probably have an issue.

Followers and Avatar
Followers- I learned to follow people and be followed by them. I learned to follow them by either going to my followers list and clicking the "Add" button and typing in their blogspot names/addresses. Another way is to go and send them an invite through their gmail emails.
Avatar- Today, we went to myavatareditor.com and learned to make avatars that are supposed to look somewhat like us. Then, post it. I went to the website, made my avatar-which looks like a Mii on the Nintendo Wii- and then I posted it to my blog. I did that by saving my avatar as a JPEG file pic and then adding it to my page as a gadget.

Layout, Dashboard, Settings
Here's a few of the things I am learning about so far on blogger.com:
Layout, Dashboard, and Settings.
Layout- When you get to the Layout page, you are able to move your gadgets around. You can also go to the links that say "Add A Gadget" to add new tools to your blog page. In the "Add A Gadget" link, there are many things you can choose from, such as, Search Box, Picture, etc. You can also edit the settings on how your posts are posted.
Dashboard- On Dashboard, you can view your profile. There are also links to help you get to edit, make new posts, add pictures, and etc. It also shows you who all you're following and some of their posts that they have recently posted. There are also links that let you add or manage who you follow.
Settings- Settings will help you pick the name for your blog. You can add your blog to listings, choose to let search engines find your blog, and choose to show email post links. There's also a choice if there is adult content on your blog and if you choose yes, then there will be a warning given to viewers. There is also a option button if you want to enable what you want to say to be translated to another language.
