Technology Article

Surprisingly, Android has the top smartphone system in the world. Most of this achievement is owed to Samsung, which was the top phone manufacturer in 2012. Android grew its already significant chunk of the smartphone market to 68.8% last year. Apple’s iOS operating system stayed comfortably in second place with only 18.8%. Together, Apple and Android account for 87.6% of the smartphone market. Experts think that Android takes over the market because there are thousands of Android phones every size and shape imaginable. Apple has only released six versions of the iPhone. Apple sold 130 million smartphones in 2012. Samsung sold 384.6 million phones in 2012, only 53.5% were smartphones. Overall, Android dominates the market. Apple follows behind and Windows, Nokia, and BlackBerry struggle to keep up. http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/14/tech/mobile/smartphone-sales-apple-android/index.html

Voki vs. Blabberize

Overall I think that the Voki website was easier to use. The website was easier to navigate and recording was easy. I liked that I was able to call in my voice when using Voki. I didn’t like how they didn’t have a lot of choices when creating a person. On Blabberize I liked how easy the website was to use and how I use any picture I wanted to. I didn’t like how hard it was to shape the mouth on the picture. Recording and importing the audio was more difficult on Blabberize. Overall I liked Voki better than Blabberize. I would use Voki again. I could use either of these sites for a Spanish project.

They shared their passwords. On day she was checking her email and she noticed an email for an older guy at her school that she didn’t know. The emails made her feel uncomfortable.

The girls went onto her email and sent all the senior boys a photo shopped picture of Katie’s best friend naked. When she returned to school she noticed people whispering about her. She doesn’t have any friends now and she doesn’t talk to Katie any more. She regrets ever sharing her passwords with Katie.

Status Cloud

I’m proud that people can see my achievements in volleyball and school through Google and Facebook. I’m shocked and totally creeped out that people can see all my tweets, my twitter profile picture, pinterest boards, and pinterest profile picture. I’m not really embarrassed about anything because I rarely post on Facebook. I really want to change my profile on twitter to private because it creeps me out that others can see my tweets without me knowing. My footprint accurately represents what I want to convey, a girl who likes pinning on pinterest and tweeting about her dog and volleyball. :)

Cyber Bully Video

There are lots of similarities and differences between the situations we talked about and the video. Some similarities are that kids usually get bullied on social networking cites and the bulling continues at school. Some differences are that usually the people who are being bullied do not confront the people who are bulling them.
