Copyright, fair use & online safety

     The things i have learned so far in class are pretty cool, as a result i know how to copy and paste a you tube video on my Blog. This is very new to me but when i get the right information of how to post different things its a very fun thing to do. The other things i have learned is if someone copy's a motion film that is showing at the movie's and go sell copy's of that film, this is called bootleg, and you can go to jail and get a really big fine. i learned that copyright material used in multimedia projects may remain in the students portfolio forever. I also have learned if i rent a movie and show the movie in class it is fair ues act. The different things i have learned in class will be very usefull to me now that i know more about online safety, and fair use, because there are rules when getting on the computer, and people take things very personal when it comes to copyright, fair use & on line safety.
      How do you feel about it?
I feel really great about learning different things about the computer, because when i first started i just knew how to do a few things on the computer. i feel that technology is the future, and if you are not searching for knowledge you will get left behined, because almost everything is being ran by computer's now day's. Even though i feel good rite now about the class im in, i believe i can do much more with social networking, meeting different people, and i won't be truely satisfied utill i can get on the computer and it become's like a second nature to me.  So the Question is how do i feel about what i have learned so far, and i say there is no limit to what i can achieve in this class, the sky is the limit long as i stay focus and ask questions because even geniuses ask questions.

Mapping activity

When i first got into useing the world wide web, i just got sll my information from  google, and every web site i was on i dident think or care who web site i was on or who owned the web site. i dident know what the URL was or what it was used for, and as a result my computer crashed alot.  so i aways had to call the subscriber that i was with, and they would allways tell me on the phone that i had a virse on my computer, basically due to me not knowing to much of what i was doing on the computer, i would click on every thing trying to get information of what i was looking up at that particular moment. so as you can i really stuggled when i first started getting on the world wide web. i had alot of trouble submitting homework, and still do sometimes.
     Now, that im so called not a rookie any more, but its still tough at times. i can get on the world wide web and look up information, and what ever web site im on i pay a little more attention of who's web site it is. not that i really care of who web site it is, but it's just the fact that i can find out who page im on if i wanted to, or if one day i got too. i really think that the URL is pretty cool now that i know what it is, that is a person personal information were anyone can get in contact with a person. like an address.
     Last, my overall conception of me learning different things about the computer before i started the class, and the things i learned so far from coming to class i would give my self an A. just knowing these different aspect of the commputer the in and out's it make you feel like you can get on the internet get on any website and not have a proublem cause you seen it before. just like this blog i never blogged before, but i do like it, it's something new to me.
