Copyright to Music

After reading this article I did not realize all the complications of using a song in anything such as a project or just if it's playing in your restaurant or even an elevator. Now I understand why they do play such cruddy music, because it costs A LOT of money to play good music! I recently made a scholarship video for my friend and we couldn't even use the music that is already on iMovie for it. I've also made YouTube videos that have popular music on them so hopefully I won't get in trouble for that and I'm definitely going to be more careful in the future.

Worked Cited Project

For my three bibliography makers I used Son of Citation, Bibliography Machine, and KnightCite Citation Service. All of them were very similar but Son of Citation looked the most professional. I didn't know these kind of cites existed. I will definitely be using them at college!

Reaction to Internet Revolution Video

This internet revolution video was a very interesting video. It examined all of the main areas of the internet and how they have shaped the world today. The most interesting part, I thought, was how they compared the 60s and 70s social movement to why people use the internet today. It's true, that most people use the internet to not only communicate, but spread and share ideas and thoughts that they otherwise would be afraid or just unable to without the web. I agree with all of the closing statements at the end of the video, that the web is a revolution and play a huge part of society today. On the other hand, the world wide web is neither good, nor bad, it is only a useful tool that can be used at the expense of yourself.
