Journal Entry #6 Digital Business

         With digital business I don't find anything surprising one thing maybe is that Google has a thing called Google Wallet which I didn't know about and find surprising. What was hard to locate in this unit was some of the information we had to find in PayPal and Google Wallet and comparing the two. For me personally I have not physically purchased something online but mother has for me and shops for gifts and things on there to and I have lot's of family and friends who have shopped online. Also I have never sold anything online.When buying online sometimes prices seem too good to be true so be careful of large shopping cost designed by the seller to get the real price through trickery.  When buying using Kijiji  and other online service make sure buying is done in a public place and never send money via mail or other ways to the seller. are the two I feel are most important. With young people issue they have when it comes to digital business is that they buy almost anything and sometimes waste money which is usually not theirs, it could be there parents money or friends etc.

Assignment #1 Shopping Carts/Assignment#2 PayPal

   

Shopping Carts


          Two reasons why people shop in stores is because that may not believe in shopping online, another reason might be because if they are shopping for clothes for example they probably want to try on the clothes before they buy it.

          Two reasons why people might shop online is because they may find it easier to shop online rather than in actual stores, another reason might be because the store they are shopping on online might be a great distance away from them.


          If I had the choice between shopping online and in actual stores I would rather do it in person because you actually know what you are getting and know the quality where as online you really don't know for sure.


          I think that in later years such as 2050 people would find a balance because some people might not like shopping online and some may not like shopping in person. Yes I do think that Canada Post made the right decision to focus more on digital shopping than on sending letters because no one really send letters anymore on less its just bills . To be honest returning a product in store can be very difficult at time and it seems that returning something through the internet would be quite a bit easier.


PayPal

         
           PayPal is a online shopping website where you can go to other websites to shop, PayPal is almost like the center of online shopping, you have to go through them in order to shop. When you use PayPal they don't share your financial details with other sellers they protect your details and you are eligible for purchase protection for a purchase up to $20 000. PayPal makes there money by charging fees for selling things so stores like Roots for example they have to pay, PayPal in order for PayPal to advertise and sell there products. PayPal protects you when your item that you purchased doesn't arrive to you by paying the full price of your purchase. If I started a business I would for sure allow purchase by PayPal because I trust it and it would be a good thing to use. Google wallet is different from PayPal because Google wallet let's you send money to other people. I would prefer to use PayPal because for me it is more known it seems and that you know lots of people trust it, another reason why I prefer PayPal is because if you use Google wallet it seems that people could hack into your account easy and send money to them and PayPal doesn't do that .

Journal Entry #5 Digital Wellness

      What I find surprising when it comes to the issues around digital wellness is that people still do things that they really shouldn't like text and drive where we found out that anything can happen when you look away from the road for even a second. Also people don't think that things can happen to them but really anything can happen. In this unit I didn't find anything confusing, it was all really straight forward. The biggest issue with young people when it comes to digital wellness is that we as teenagers spend all lot of time with technology and it does effect our health, but really if the kind of technology we have today was around when our parents were around they would have the same problem which is that too much time is spent on technology.

Assignment #1 One Mississippi/Assignment #2 The Pledge

  One Mississippi  


  When looking at the distances with meter sticks it was surprising because in one second you can go a pretty good distances in one second. Also this makes you realize that anything can happen in one second. This commercial is very effective because it shows again the anything can happen in a second this commercial almost gives a real life example of how quick something can change with one second of  you attention gone. One invention that is lots of people already use is Bluetooth which nearly everyone knows about. If I'm in a vehicle and the driver is speeding and is distracted then for sure I'm going to say something because they have my life in danger when they do something like that.  



The Pledge

• I pledge to not tell something important to somebody that should be done face to face through technology.
• I will not play video games for more then 2 hours daily.
• I pledge that I will not use technology for harm.
• I will not say anything to someone that I wouldn't say in person.
• I promise to respect all people on the internet.

Journal Entry #4 Netiquette

What I find most surprising about netiquette is the things that companies can do to you because you agreed to the terms and conditions, one example is that you can't sue the company when your made at them if the company has a clause of arbitration. Also what I think is surprising is the amount of guidelines for online discussion boards, I mean its a good thing but there is a lot. No I don't thing that people are too concerned about the terms and conditions that come with websites because people just don't want to read them, but they should be concerned because there is lots of important stuff in the terms and conditions. I would rate my online behavior as a 7/10 I mean I have never said anything mean on the internet but i'm  not a angel. One thing that I could work on is repeating someone in the comments. I think the biggest issue with young people when it comes to Netiquette is that young people are just mean ion comment sections and also they don't read the terms and conditions.

Assignment #2 Do What I Say/ Assignment #3 Online Discussion Boards

Do What I Say - Assignment #2

1. FIVE  reasons/facts that will make you choose the right way of doing things in digital society, I don't want to go to jail, people l work hard to make movies, people also work hard to make music, people  who post mean stuff on the internet are not happy and I want to be happy, people work hard on making games on the internet so why cheat on  the games.

     Assignment #3
     Online Discussion Boards

1.      Some of the guidelines are similar in real life such as saying please and thank you also don't repeat something that someone had already said earlier whether it was in comments or face to face. Another one is respect other peoples opinions and acknowledge that other people are entitled  to their own pinon this guideline can refer to real life as well as online. 
2. Some guidelines that I think are most important are to say "please" and "thank you", also to know that people are entitled to their own opinion, another one is to be forgiving don't badger someone of they make a mistake, and the final one that I think is most important is to don't bad mouth people and call them names its's just not right.
3. No I don;t think that I have made comments in online discussions, but if I did it would have bean something short like commenting on someones photo but it was always positive.  
4. No I don't think that I would enjoy a course that discuss issues online because I think that it would be very boring. 

Digital Etiquette Online Service of Standards Use (Assignment 1)

1. 5 companies that use the terms and service agreements or have major conditions before use are, Snapchat, Facebook Instagram, Twitter and also ASK.fm.
2. 5 service agreements that we might accept are if you post a photo one a website that website might be able to own it . Another one is You Don't Own what you Bought for example when you buy and app you don't own it. One other one is kind of obvious is that if you jail break your phone for example, the company of the phone has the right to do whatever they want to your phone. Also if you have on star the company  can track every single move you go in your vehicle. The last one  is if you agree to a clause about arbitration then you can't sue the company.     

Journal Entry #3 Digital Rights and Responsibilities

      When doing digital rights and responsibilities what I found most surprising was people do really mean things online and therefore there has to be laws put in place to prevent things from happening. I think that people should smarten up and just be nice for a change online and not hurt anybody online.

       In my opinion I think that people are not responsible online if they were then those laws wouldn't have to be in place. Also another reason why I think that people are not responsible online is because there is so much bullying going on online so that's why I think that people are not responsible online.

        One commandment that out of the ten that is most important is to be polite online because if people do that then there will be no more problems with the internet. The biggest problem with digital rights and responsibilities is that people think that the laws don't apply to them and that no one can catch them doing something bad like cyber bulling so they think they can get away with it.

"Assignment: Digital Rights and Responsibilities"

Journal Entry#2 Digital Communication

When it comes to digital communication what I found surprising is that how quickly things have developed over time and how easily people can do things like send a message across the world. What I learned from the video I watched was that when you write something is a kind of format some people may not be able to read our email because they may nit have that format such as Microsoft Word. One other thing that I learned is that if you don't put something in the subject title people might not open your email because they might think its spam. Blind Carbon copy is when you can send a email to many people but the other people don't know who else you sent the email to. The most important thing that I reviewed that young people should know is how they are talking to and to make sure they don't give out too much personal information.

Digital Communication (Assignment #2)

Assignment#2

1. Three examples of appropriate acronyms for school are WRT  with respect to, also TIA thanks in advance, another one is W8 which means wait.
2. Four places that should never use acronyms when typing on the computer or phone when writing anything to do with business.Other time is when writing an important email. The third time you should never use these is when writing an important paper for school or work because it would affect your mark in school and also at the work place it could affect your job. The last last place would be when writing in a newspaper.

Communication Compass (Assignment #1)

Communication Compass

1.  Digital communication is data transmission,digital transmission or digital communications is the physical transfer of data over a point-to-point or point-to-multi point communication channel.
2. Advantages- Faster and easier, can be done over long distances through internet and other things, it provides facilities like video conferencing which can save money and time, it removes semantic barriers because the data can be changed into different languages using software Disadvantages-  It is unreliable as the messages cannot be recognized by signatures. Digital communication ignores the human touch a personal touch cannot be established because all the computers will have the same font. The quickness of digital communication is harmful as messages can be sent with the click of a mouse the person goes not think and sends the message at an impulse. Many people misuse the efficiency of digital communication the sending of hoax messages.
3. Three forms of digital communication that is popular is Facetime, Snapchat, and just regular texting through phones.
4. Three forms of digital communication that might disappear could be, E-mailing people, using sites like Myspace or MSN, also Facebook messaging might become irrelevant.
5. 5 scenarios where digital communication should not be used is maybe        when your announcing something for work because maybe people have questions and concerns that cant be expressed through technology. Another is telling someone something very important such as a break up or engagement those things should always be in person. Telling someone there fired should be done in person and not through a text because its just not right to not do it in person. If you have meeting with someone it should be done in person and not through technology because to me it seems like you don't want to meet the person and that seems rude. 
6.    One form of digital communication that is harmful is one online dating because you really never know even though the website mat seem reliable it could be the opposite, another harmful form of digital communication is websites like omegle because you don't know who you are talking to.
7. I think that they will find a healthy balance and not just be more connected.
8. I think that it is OK to keep a persons online communication because really it doesn't hurt anyone so I don't see it as a problem   

Journal Entry #1 Digital Security

Journal Entry #1

What I found most surprising when it comes to creating passwords and digital security is that people take it lightly most of the time and they don't realize the the dangers of the internet. Also another thing that surprised me is that people actually use the horrible passwords and don't think anything of it.In this section didn't find anything confusing. It was very straight forward in my opinion.

Based on the information in this section I think that my password is a very good password. It's not too short that people can guess it easily but its not lengthy either. The most important thing to remember and consider when it comes to digital security and passwords is that there are not very good people out there so don't take things to lightly because it could be you who is getting scammed and/or hacked. So in other words take the proper precautions when it comes to digital security and passwords because you just can't be sure about things.  

Digital Security (Assignment 1)

Digital Security

1. 1. Yes I do think that the worst passwords listed are easy to guess because they are just simple and nothing complicated about them.
2.  Personally I  have not used any of those passwords because I know that those passwords are easy to guess and people could gain access easily.
3. Yes, I do think that adults and seniors would most likely use those passwords because they probably don't really think that things could happen to them, one thing that we can do is tell them to choose a different password and tell them the consequences.
4. One qbad password that can think of that is not on the list is "home123" or "wifi123".
5. I don't think that its the length to make a password strong its the quality of it.   

Preparing Your Blog and Apps on Google

Preparing Your Blog and Apps on Google

One app that I checked out was "UJAM" it is an app that you can kind of create your own music. For example when you have a song stuck in your head, you can sing it hum it or play that song song on a instrument then you can record what you did , then make your creation into a actually song that has your own personal twist. This app is like having a studio at your fingertips.

Another app that I took a look at is called "Antivirus Online Scanner"  which is what you think it is. Its an app that can scan websites and files for virus, which is very useful because virus's are a pain to deal with. So this app can scan files and websites so that you don't worry about ruining your computer.
