Before and After

      When you hear the term Copyright Law, what comes to mind? To me, the term Copyright Law means that you don't have the right to go out and take whatever you want from wherever you want. Copyright Laws where made for a reason. And that reason was to help the artists and the publishers from getting ripped off. Because if you think about it, ever time you go on a site and copy everything word for word with out citing it, whoever wrote all that information just got cheated.
     
     Also every time you go and take a song off the Internet, you're causing the artists to loose money and sales. An example of Copyright infringement is when Kayne West got sued for taking Vincent P. song "Stronger". The judge ruled Kanye West not guilty for taking the song.

Technology at Home and School

     I think that in the future, as far as technology goes, I wouldn't be using text books. I possibly wouldn't be going to school, instead I possibly might be having online classes before college. Some of my personal experiences with using technology are for example: typing you this blog, using the phone, using skype to talk to my friends and to see them, etc. I think technology is a very broad term to use. There are so many different items I use that could fall under the technology category. But certain items I use at school and others I use at home.

     When I'm at home, I always use my computer, phone, television, xbox, radio, etc. I use my computer to do multiple things. If I didn't have my computer then I wouldn't be able to do homework, or communicate with my friends. Now my phone, on the other hand, is my life. I love my phone! My phone has many different roles. I use my phone to text, I use it to call people, and I use it to get on the Internet. Now my other electronics are just for pleasure reasons, like when I'm bored or something.

     When I'm at school, I use the laptops, the desktops, a calculator, etc. I use the computers to help me try and find answers or information about something. Which in order for that to happen I have to use the Internet. And obviously I have to use a calculator for math to help me solve problems.
