The Nightshift is a book with pictures of nighttime scenes in New york City. The post about the book and what is shows. I found this post to be very boring. I, in all honesty, do not care such simple images. I'd rather take photos myself of such scenes, rather than write about them. The post is simply an advertisement for the book- thus, it is boring, dull, and uninteresting. I believe that people are intelligent enough to desipher the meaning of a photo- they don't need to be told "a story" in addition to images. The people of New York are aware that people work at night. This is not that big of an issue, because in many circumstances, people choose to work at night.

The composition of this photo is good. Having that man in the yellow jumper to the right side of the shot instead of in the middle makes the image more interesting because it draws your eye from the front/right of the image to the back. You are drawn backwards because of the grave, which seems to point towards the back of the image. Also, having an uneven amount of sky and land enables the viewer to see more of what's going on in the dirt. The lighting in this shot is also good because it illuminates everything, as in the ground and the person.

The internet: a vast computer network linking smaller computer networks worldwide (www.dictionary.reference.com). Originally invented by J.C.R. Licklider of MIT in the 1960’s, the internet was thought-up as a way to share information and research ideas worldwide. The internet was not an immediate success though; at first it was nearly impossible to hold a steady connection. Now, people are finding new ways to make a strong connection faster than ever. Improvements are constantly being made to the way we connect with people and search for things. Many people have come accustomed to using this search force in their everyday lives.
I myself use the internet in several ways; one way being school work. Since there are so many things to learn in the course of a year, it is necessary to receive help. Not by past standards though; by researching things on the web. For almost all of my classes, I need to get information on assignments through the internet. Be it by Edline or by Google, it is a daily must. By going on Edline, a school based network, I can discover what homework is due for the following class. To complete said homework, I can research topics on search engines such as Google or online encyclopedias. Secondly, I use the internet to connect with friends. Since I see my school friends everyday, there is no need to interact with them through the web. Unlike my school friends, I do not see my outside-of- Bronxville friends that often, thus, I try to stay in touch with them through e-mail and social networks such as Facebook. Another way I use the interent is for shopping. I infrequently buy things from the sites, seeing as I cannot try them on, but I rather prefer to look at items I would like to buy and then plan on trying them on in a store. Or, if the item is not clothing, I sometimes buy it directly from the site. As you can see, I use the internet in many different ways. It has greatly eased the stresses in life- such as school work, keeping in touch with friends, and buying things.
My parents and I both use the internet, but in different ways. My mother and my father use the internet for work. My mother uses it to maintain her mortgage company while my father uses it to keep-up with the stock market. I do not work; therefore, I do not use the internet for that purpose. Like myself, my parents use the internet to look up things and to buy things. My parents and I use the internet in similar and dissimilar ways.
Old people and young people use the internet in different ways. According to www.clickz.com, young people originally drove the growth of the internet. Now, people aged 55 and over are using the internet more frequently. Said on this site, "The recent growth in Internet users indicates the Internet is maturing, in that it is becoming more democratic in its representation of all age groups," Jordan said. "Most of the new growth is coming from older age groups, including the aging Baby Boomer demographic. When you consider the huge purchasing power of this group, which continues to buy everything, including the most expensive products, there is a huge opportunity for e-commerce and e-marketing." As you can see, the internet is becoming more popular among old people.
In conclusion, I use the internet, my parents use the internet, and old people use the internet.

Review of Two Pictures

· Hurricane Ike: The people are walking away from the light colored water behind them and into darker water. The man on the left is fat, wearing red shorts, and holding a life preserver. The man to his left is also fat and wearing all blue, carrying a red pack and a big white thing. He is holding the hand of a woman also wearing blue and a pink head-thing. She is carrying a white bag. To her left, there is another man carrying a huge blue bag and wearing red shorts. All of them are knee-deep in this water. It is not sunny out and they are the only people in the picture. To the left and right of them are trees. Way behind them in the distance is a bridge. On the right side if the photo is a stop sign. These people are probably trying to find dry ground. They look unhappy.

· West Side Story:
In this picture, there is a man and a woman. They are posed. The photo is black and white. On the left there are dark buildings. On the bottom of the photo there is a light-colored sidewalk. The woman is in front wearing light clothes. Her arms are stretched out, looking forward. She looks happy. Her left hand is holding the right hand of a man in dark clothes. He is also happy. They appear to be running.

Safe Blogging

When blogging, you should take safe precautions. Firstly, you shouldn’t give out your last name. This measure is taken because if someone has your first and last name, they can hunt you down. How can they do this? Bad people can look-up your name on the internet or in a phone book, find more information about you, and come to your house and steal you. This is a really bas situation to be in. Thus, you should never put your last name on the internet.
Secondly, you should be nice. If you post mean things about others on your blog, they will find out. Your comments will hurt their feelings- and you don’t want to do that. In addition, important people can see the mean things you right- and even before they get to know you, they will see that you are mean.
