freak of nature

I selected these animals because i like cats, and tigers are cool looking animals. The most challenging part was when i had to try and blend the cat in with the tiger. the easiest part was getting the cats head in the right spot.My creation does not look real at all. No i have never used photo Editing before.

Journal Entry #7: Digital Access


 The thing i found most surprising was, that smaller communities have faster internet than the bigger cities, i found most confusing the part where they say about people having fiber optic cables to have faster internet, yes i think everyone should have reliable fast access to the internet because then it would be easier to talk to a family member or friend that does not live close to you. no i am never concerned about my privacy online, i just never really thought about it and what i put on social medias. i have never worried about what i post and think that it might come back later in life and get me in trouble later in life because i don't post a lot of things on social media, its usually just pictures of my family or four-wheeler. i think that young people say thing online that they shouldn't and and they end up getting in fights over it.

Assignment #2: Privacy Please

  1. Voting should be done 100% online for both provincial and federal elections starting in 2017.

pros

- they would be able to make sure there child is not jigging classes.
-they would be able to see if there student is doing good on there tests and if not they would be able to say something to them and change things
  1. Schools in 2020 should be closed and teachers and students should begin learning in virtual classrooms using digital technology at home.
Pros

Assignment #1: Fast Internet Speeds in Canadian Small Towns


Some of the internet connections in rural communities have 1,000 megabits or 1 gigabit per second. they are getting faster internet because they have high-throughput fiber optic cables directly put into homes and business. They are fortunate because, they have a family owned internet company. The community came up with a plan to build its own fiber network, using government grants and loans connecting every home along the way When the community of Stafford opened their own data base everyone helped support it.Bell committed to wire up 1.1 million Toronto homes to fiber optic internet.I think small communities need faster internet more than ever is because we finally realized that the internet is useful and now we want it better than everyone's.The federal government has provided 305 million to get internet access to more communities.

Journal Entry #6: Digital Business


 The thing i found most surprising is, that Pay Pal can keep your financial details private  for up to $20000 and that more people are beginning to shop online. Yes i have purchased a few things online, yes my family and friends have bought things online, nobody i know has had any problems with shopping online. yes i have sold a few things online.  the biggest problem is when people sell stuff online like  fourwheeler or dirt bike they wait until its gonna blow up and they sell it so it blows up on the next lad and they wont help the guy fix it.

assignment #2 pay pal


  They keep your financial details secrete and don't share them with sellers, they can keep up to 20000 protected, you don't pay for any other fees, you only pay for the object that you are buying, and you can send money to almost anybody. They keep you financial details protected so nobody can find them out. Pay Pal charges the seller for everything they sell. They will refund the full purchased price and the shipping and handling cost. Yes if i started my own business i would allow Pay Pal because more people use pay pal and i would want every type of payment i could use.

"Assignment #1: Shopping Carts?"


     The two biggest reasons people still shop at stores is because it is fast to get your items and for the socialisation between them and the workers. The biggest reasons people shop online is because what they want to buy may not be available in stores around them and/or they may not have a car to go to store with. I would go to the store to get my items because i could go for a drive to get them, i might see somebody i didn't see in a long time. Lastly because i would get my things faster. i think that in 2050 they will strike a balance, i think they will shop online for things like, car parts, clothes, games and things like that but they will go to the store for things like couches, tables, and shelves. Yes i think this is a smart business plan because most people send emails or text messages now, not to many people send mail. They cold make return process free shipping and make it so that it does not take a week to just return it and another week to get a new one.
