Blog Post Week 14

 A topic that I thought was interesting that a group did was someone did long-distance calling. Long-distance calling is when you call someone from a different location outside of your location. An example of that would be if you called someone from a different town or state. The first-ever long-distance call wire was made in February of 1877.  The person that made that call was Alexander Graham Bell who called from Salem in Massachusetts to Boston Massachusetts. The first call out of a state was in 1915, which was from New York to San Fransisco. There are two categories for long-distance which are international and national. A national call is a call that connects two calls in the same country. An international call is a call that is two calls that are made between two different countries. Depending on the country some calls can be more expensive than others. I think learning about this was really interesting and it was entertaining to learn the facts of something that we do every day to communicate with people.

  The ted talks talked about privacy on social media. Many people put information out on social media and have later on in life regretted putting certain things on social media. You always have to be careful about what you post on social media because you never know what could happen in the future. It could affect your personal life and especially your career. Many people have done that and it’s something that you always have to consider when you post stuff on social media. You have to think to yourself if I post this am I going to be upset later on in life about it or will it affect my life in the future. You have to be super careful now these days because everyone is on social media and it is one of the biggest things that people use to communicate with others. Social media is a great thing but it is also a bad thing.

We decided to take a test and it turns out that I have Dyslexia. After finding out that I had a learning disability my mom had me look at a private school that would help me with that. I ended up going to The Carroll School right near my house an...

  The presentation that I will be talking about is one group talked about the web and other subjects. The web first started by a man named Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. Tim Berners-Lee was a British computer scientist who was born in London. His boss didn't believe that it would work but Tim proved his boss wrong. When the web first came out not many people were able to go on the web because of the browser and computers that were used so they changed that. The web first came to the United States in 1991. The web was made how it is today in the United States. A man named Mike Sendall decided that it was time to collab with Steve Jobs and make the web for the company Apple. They first came out with computers which is what started their upbringing but the internet really took off and was used a lot when Seve Jobs came out with these computers. Although there were other computers such as Dell, many people switch to Apple computers. Once the internet started to really take off a man named L...
