Bi-Weekly Blog Post #2

The topic I chose was on an arrest on a man who was thought to be a crazed gunman. The title of the article is An Armed Siege in the UK Was Caused by a Video Game Light Gun.

I got this from Gizmodo.

Lynch, Gerald. “ An Armed Siege in the UK Was Caused by a Video Game Light Gun.” gizmodo. September 27, 2013. Web. September 27, 2013. <http://gizmodo.com/an-armed-siege-in-the-uk-was-caused-by-a-video-game-lig-1409555869>

A man was seen in a house pointing what looked to be like a gun out the window at neighbors. He was later arrested when police arrived to his house. “In this instance, once officers gained entry to the property, they found that the imitation firearm was, in fact, from a computer console. The computer console was not in use at the time this was reported to us.”

I think the police made a smart choice for arresting him. He should have not been pointing a gun out the window even if it was a toy gun. Its good that the guy was released later when they found out it was a toy. But he should have been smarter about playing the game. It affects me by telling me that I should be more careful where I point my guns even if they are not real.

It does not really affect the world that much. If everyone was smart and would close the blinds or play somewhere else, they wouldn’t have to worry about this. Maybe the police should check more before arresting people if they are thought to have a gun. If they would have checked he would not have been arrested. So just don’t point guns out the window and you won't have to worry about being arrested.

     My week has been okay. I have a lot of work to do and I don't want to do any of it. I have learned a lot this week. Some of the things I learned are plagiarism and digital citizenship.

     Plagiarism is where you copy someones idea without asking or giving credit to the owner. Digital citizenship is where you need to be responsible and ethical applied to interacting on the online world.

     We have also learned about Prezi, Mixbook, Diigo. Mixbook is a website where you get to make a book about what ever. You get to add pictures and what ever you want it to say. You can even buy it when your done. Diigo is a website where you can bookmark highlight text and add sticky notes to any web page. Then you can share it with the group you are working with if your doing a team project. Prezi is a website were you make power points in a fun way. The ups to this website is its easier to use then a regular power point. The down side to it is you can't change your background once you choice it.

     We learned about digital citizenship this week. Digital Citizenship is where you respect what people say and put online. Don't put someone down or cyber bully them. Also watch what you say online it could get you in trouble someday. We even got to make a Prezi about it.

The topic of my article is about Smartwatchs

"I Actually Really Want a Smartwatch"

Gizmodo

Limar, Eric. I Actually Really Want a Smartwatch. Gizmodo, Web., 6 September, 2013, http://gizmodo.com/i-actually-really-want-a-smartwatch-1257227834

Its about how smartwatchs could be useful to people. If you cant get to your phone and its making a really loud noise don't you wanna not worry about it. So if you have a smartwatch on your wrist you don't have to worry about loosing it.

I believe this product could actually work very well. This product could help people in alot of different ways in life. It could help me out by never worrying about loosing it. If im in class I can read my text with out my teachers knowing it. I also don't have to worry about droping it and breaking it like my phone. According to Erci Limar. "His phone makes a noise, and has to turn it on and discover precisely what that noise means.This happens alot of the times for him".

This can impact the world by helping people stay in contact with everyone quickly because of the convenience of it being on your wrist. While driving you can look at your wrist to read the message instead of looking around to find it and maby crash. People don't have to worry about dropping and breaking there phones. People don't have to worry about loosing there phones. Its also hard to loose just because its on your wrist all the time.
