INTERNET: WHAT WOULD LIFE BE WITHOUT IT
The Internet is one of the most important technologies in my life, among many others. The Internet is used for my bill paying, going to school full time, applying for jobs, fixing my resume, and researching products for my baby. I know I definitely could not live without the Internet, what about you? The Internet has been beneficial in so many lives and makes being a single mother and going to school a lot easier. It is already hard to do both, but it gives people like me another chance to succeed in life. There are so many things that can be accomplished on the Internet. If you want to know the best car seat to buy for your baby, you can go to consumerreports.com. This site is used for everything for babies and even to find the best vehicle. You can use the Internet to find the closest zoo and get directions. The Internet is not only good for locating day cares, getting directions, or finding a vehicle. It is also the new way to communicate. People no longer pick up the phone and call each other anymore, they chat online, send text messages through Facebook, and even post blogs. Now-a-days people exchange emails if they want to communicate. This is the kind of world that we live in now. We can even locate people we haven't seen or heard from in years. Most likely they have a Myspace account or a Facebook account. That is the only way I am able to keep in contact with my friends from college, who live in Florida. I recently found my Aunt that I have not seen, or heard from, in eight years. In order to live in 2010 and the future to come, you have to do it with the Internet.
IPOD: BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD
The IPod swept the nation in October 2001. This was one of the best, and inventive, MP3 player out. The generation that it focused on was universal. I liked the fact that any age could enjoy the coolest MP3 player that has hit the market. When IPod was first introduced it was available in different sizes, according to gigabytes. The lowest gigabyte allowed you to put about 150 songs on the MP3 player. The largest gigabyte allowed you to store over 10,000 songs along with pictures and videos. This was the best thing since sliced bread! Music lovers learned to appreciate this because you did not have to worry about a bulky CD player. The portable CD player was not as efficient as an MP3 player. I remember going on road trips with my family and every time we hit a bump, my CD would skip. The IPod prevented this from happening. Not only did you have a portable device that prevented you from carrying CDs, but you could also purchase an adapter for your car. This plug allowed you to listen to all of your music without having to change CDs. Now there are better versions of the IPod. There is the IPod Touch, which is touch screen only, and an IPhone. So not only can you store all of your music, but you can use it as a cell phone too. Like I said the best thing since slice bread!!
Learning How To Communicate.
Communicating is one of the first things we are taught. We are taught how to say "Mommy" or how to ask for things we want. I believe one of the things we are not taught is how to communicate properly. This is because, as adults, we do not know how to communicate effectively either. As we become adults we get into relationships and fail to communicate properly. We are either holding our emotions in and not expressing them or we are screaming at our significant other and not talking. This reflects on how we were raised. If you were taught to keep your feelings suppressed when you were young, then you are going to have trouble expressing yourself as an adult. The same goes if you were raised in a household that yelled at one another no matter what the situation was. You will yell as an adult, whatever your feelings may be. My experience in my relationship left me emotionally drained because my boyfriend never communicated because he never expresses his feelings. Where as I always said how I felt because I can not hold in what I am feeling because it eats away at me. The video that I posted explains how stress in a relationship can have its tolls on both parties involved. You have to find a common ground and learn how to communicate effectively.
