Journal - What do you love about the "digital age" that we currently live in? What do you dislike about it? What are positives ways you use technology in your life? What are some things that come along with technology that you don't like? Explain.
The "digital age" that we live in, I think, makes life easier. I like that you're able to connect with just about anyone you would like and that you can look up almost anything you want or need at your fingertips. This is especially handy in school. It can also be negative because at times people can get fairly lazy. I use technology in a positive way to keep in touch with people all over the country and world. I also use it for news and keeping up to date with current events. What I don't like about how technology has come along is that if you don't have the most up-to-date device, people judge you. and that's not so cool.

Journal - Tell me about your Homecoming weekend (whether you went to the activities or not!). Tell me about what you did over the weekend.
I didn't end up going to homecoming this weekend but I did have quite a fun weekend. On Friday, I had to homecoming game, but because of lightning our band director didn't have the band or dance team perform at half time, so I didn't end up doing a whole ton at the game. On Saturday, I had the Blue Springs Marching Festival and had to make up nice and early. We did really well there and got second in 5a, best drum major, best percussion, best music, and best colorguard. We didn't stay for finals though because of homecoming. On Saturday night, I hung out with one of my bestest friends, Jackson. He was home from college for fall break so that was fairly exciting. On Sunday, I went to the Big Biscuit with a few friends and ate plenty of delicious food. And then I had the exciting opportunity of spending the rest of my day working on a very long research paper. Quite a weekend.

What do you know about infographics? What do you know about them? What are their purpose?
Well, I know nothing about inforgraphics. Therefore I do not know their purpose. But if I could guess, I think that they have something to do with showing information through graphs and other visualizations of sorts.

Journal - Most students view siting work as 'a pain in the butt'. How do you feel about it? Is it necessary? When is it appropriate to cite work? What's the importance of it?
I'd have to agree that siting work is, in fact, 'a pain in the butt'. But, I do find it a necessary thing to do. It's necessary because if you don't cite where you got all of your information from, it can be considered cheating, especially if you copy word for word from a source. It's appropriate to cite sources in any type of project where you have to do research for information.
