Do the Crime & You Will Do the Time

          Now that I have a much better understanding of what Copyright really is, I definitely look at it more seriously. I no longer just see it as some other law that is just there. I have done it before, we all have, but we never have stopped to think abut who it affects and how it affects them. From learning about Copyright in computer class, I have realized that it affects many people around us and we may be ruining some artists career from what we are doing for our own posession of music.
        Online I have found that Youtube.com is being sued for Copyright Infrigement. The article states that Youtube allows it's members to post videos and music of other artists out there on the site without having permission from the legal owner. Youtube said that the site doesn't allow it's users to use pirated material, but they also don't catch it often either. I'm positive that half the songs on Youtube are pirated and the users who uploaded those videos onto the site did not receive permission from the artists. I understand that everyone does it but when we are downloading illegal music we need to stop and think maybe, just maybe, what would happen if we were caught? 
       The punishments on Youtube is that they are asking for $150,000 for all the illegal music being uploaded and created on this site. I do think it's fair because Youtube promised to make a Copyright law on their site and stick to it, but they didn't and now they have to pay the price for what they have done. I definitely think Copyright laws should be more enforced then they are now. Laws were not made to be broken, they were put in place to keep us safe.

Views of Technology

    I have been thinking alot about technology and the future improvements of it. I am writing about the opinions and thoughts that I have on it. Technology is in our everyday life. There is no way we can escape from it. In a different point of view I feel as if technology could change our world in a dangerous way sooner or later, but as of right now it helps us complete our everyday tasks. I feel as if without technology our lives would be incomplete. I do see people using technology in the future and it being much more advanced than it is today. People would be using it more than we do now of course, but each day someone somewhere is inventing something new.

    Our world is full of technology, and we do not even realize it. Some examples, texting. How does a phone send messages from one phone to another? Where does it go when you send it, and where ever it goes how does it get to the other persons phone? Another example is, a computer. You can search the internet, talk to people, create your own website, you can do anything with a computer. In computer class we do all kinds of things with the technology built into this computer. We make graphs, we get on Microsoft Excel, we make powerpoints, a computer is everything you will ever need. If it was up to me, I, would never take away technology from the world. I think it is a great thing to have.

     Another example of technology would be items such as Facebook or Myspace, or even Formspring. These three sites allow you to locate people from all over the world and talk to them whenever you choose. They also allow us to reconnect with old friends that we have maybe not seen in a long time. There are bad things that come with online sites though, they allow us to cyberbully one another, and even possibly give out to much personal information, but for the most part I think everyone just uses these sites as a way to talk with new people. If we have all these wonderful things in technology now, just imagine what the world will be like when we have grown up. I believe when we our older our would will be everything technical. Our would is full of technology and I would not change it for anything.





I believe this will be the year of 3000
