Cyberbullying

I think banning anonymous comments is a step closer to reducing cyberbullying.  By banning anonymous comments, it would make it easier to view who is communicating the threats and by having to use a username this anonymous person will be least likely to continue.  The positive and negative aspects of the freedom to remain anonymous are the same to me.  You have the right to say whatever you want and not have to worry about what others think.  To reduce cyberbullying, I believe the schools should intervene and start presenting what cyberbullying is and the effect it can have on people's lives.  The role parents can play in cyberbullying is to talk to their children, learn what they are doing on the Internet, and keep their computers in common areas of the home. 

Office 2010

This week in my computers class, I have learned how many great functions are available through Office 2010.  It has many different programs that are available that allow you to have access to spreadsheet programs, powerpoint which is useful for presentations, etc.  The information in the lecture notes were very helpful and useful, because they discussed each program very vividly.  Describing what was available through it and what the program was capable of.  The assignments this week for a bit confusing for me, some I didn't understand at all.  I watched the videos on zipping the file and I didn't really understand it or the concept of it very well.  That seemed to be the only problem I really had.

Computer blog

My name is Chelsea Carroll and I'm from Dublin, NC.  I think technology plays a major role in our society nowadays. It has a good effect and a bad effect.  Good being it helps us to keep in contact, held us to research, or keep businesses up and running. The bad being too many people depending on it.  I feel like technology is running our lives just do the fact that everything now is done on computers or through them.  In the future, I believe there will be no more pencil and paper and everything will be done through computers.
