Finding a Web 2.0 Tool - In Class Assignment May 28

Cometdocs can be used as an educational tool by allowing teachers to share PDF's or Word documents. I can use this tool for U.S history for Mrs. Gaven. I can use this tool by sharing DBQ's to Mrs. Gaven or any research paper that we could have. I can look up another person's document because Cometdocs gives you a public URL that you can post for others to use to download your document, and based on that I could see their's.

The things that ignite my desire to help make this world a better place is the medical field. In the medical field I can help people with their illnesses. I want to become a pediatrician where I can help children feel better. My life goal will not only fulfill my own needs but contribute to the community by letting them know that they can trust me with any situation that they need help in. And when I help them I will know that I have contributed with my community and helped people with their situations/problems.

Tech Article 5/15

The next big thing in tech: The desktop computer (yes, really)

You will see plenty of smartphones in the developing world and you'll see plenty of TVs; but you're unlikely to see desktop computers in remote areas .Poor internet connectivity, uncertain power supply and a simple lack of money have meant that billions have been locked out of the knowledge economy. Matt Dalio, CEO of Endless Computers, wants to change all of that with the first simplified, robust and affordable desktop aimed at emerging market consumers. Dalio told CNN he got the idea to create a $169 computer while he was traveling and noticed that, while most homes did not have a desktop computer, they often had an HD screen. It's equipped with app-based software and hardware that can cope with an uncertain power supply, Endless comes in a 32G and 500GB version both powered by 2GB of RAM.

     If I were invisible for one day I would fight against burglars and help people. If there was a crime going on, I would try to help the innocent people and fight against the bad guy. Because the bad guy can't see me, I would stop him from getting away with his crime. However, if someone were to steal sneakily I would prevent them from exiting the store. I wouldn't take advantage of being invisible to commit crimes.
     For example, if there was a man stealing money from a store, I would try to prevent him from committing murder if he had a gun with him. The people would be happy that the bad guy didn't get away with it and that nobody got hurt. Often times people think that the man stealing is bad but maybe they really need it. If they really need it then I would also help them out since I'm invisible. In conclusion, no one can really assume that they are really the bad guy.
