wow its over

All I am going to say is wow class is over. This class was by far my best class this semester. I definitely want to try to get another class with you Furg it was really a fun and interesting class. It all seemed to go by so fast I can not believe it is over already. This class had some really cool features that no other class has had for me. I am not a huge person for any class but something about this one just sparked my interest. Please let me know if what other classes you teach. I is really starting to shock me that I only have one more final till I am off for a month. My favorite part about the class was the discussion that we all had. They always got so interesting. Some how they would always go into different and crazy directions. It is weird to think of some of the funny and odd stuff everyone talked about. I hope I find more classes like this one it would be really nice to have. There are not many things that we could not talk about in class some how whenever we had class I would always find points to smile on my face. Its all over now and there is no more late Monday classes to go too. It was almost such a long day but I knew it would not be bad to end it with you class. My Monday consisted of class from 10:20- 11:40 than 12:00 -1:20 than work than your class. That made such a long day for me but to end it with your class allowed me to make it through it. If I had any other class I do not think I would have been able to make it through those days. So whats next you might ask who knows but all I can say is thank you furg.

NetFlix

The Netflix project was one of the best projects I have yet to do. It was a very simple group project but I had a lot of fun doing it. There was so much I learned not just about Netflix but also about how Wikipedia works. To start of I will talk about my part of the project. What I was assigned to do was to give the class a brief summary or introduction into what exactly Netflix was. There is so much that people do not know about this company. It is fun much different than other companies. There are only a limited number of people who works on a full time basic. The things the most people do not know is kind of shocking. The amount of money and how much they hurt other competitors like block buster is crazy to see. They are a company that is constantly growing and is leading their sector of the movie industry. There is so many ways now that people can use Netflix from Xbox to the mail it is really cool. Further more into what I learned about Wikipedia. What exactly I learned was that Wikipedia can not always be trusted. The site sum times im not sure if it is on purpose but they twist the truth sometimes. What they say tends to be very beneficial to the companies which make me think that they have a strong bias toward helping them out. This really hurts the credibility of the site. Some of the facts are good to use but I do not think that Wikipedia is ready to be used as a source for any papers. There are many misguided information scattered throughout Wikipedia. I believe some time soon Wikipedia will be ready and a good source to use.

FINAL COMPLETE

         Finally I’m done with this class. Do not get me wrong I love this class it was really a good and fun class to take. The reason I am saying finally is because I get excited to ever be finish with any class. This last paper was not an easy on it was kind of a big feat to take. To wrap up everything about this paper I took time to revise and edit everything I wanted to make sure I made sense. I will be honest I do not completely agree with Slade. Sometimes he makes good points but I have different views. After working plenty of hours working on my essay I feel like it is finally complete. I have so much more I can say about this topic that I could not put into my essay. I truly believe the end result came to be one outcome that it is difficult to figure out what society should truly do. I think the topic we were given was a fantastic choice of topic. There is so much that can be said about how products are disposable and how we can try and go green. There is a lot that can come from either argument. All depending on what society considers to be the best thing to do will come out on top. There are something’s that should not be brought into the changes and some that should be left out. If society comes out with the right compromises we could come to a pretty beneficial outcome for our nation. There are a bunch of questions I have for everyone who has written these essays. What do you think are the pros and cons of trying to go green? What will we lose and what will we gain from making changes? My by far biggest question for everyone is what should society do should we stay how we are or what changes should we make?

actually wrting this difficult final

           The process of actually doing the writing portion took way longer than I had hoped and had planned. I will be honest I can usually pump out a paper like this in a couple of hours but this paper was not the case. It took me so long to get this paper done. I spent hours getting everything I wanted to say onto paper. This sometimes is difficult to get what you truly want to say to sound correctly and have everything go well. Each paragraph took a lot longer than I expected. This is something I do not enjoy to do and it took me a long time to get right. I made sure I hit every aspect of the task at hand. I wanted to really make sure I got my ideas and view point across. Slade and his book was the perfect person to write about for the question at hand. The essay could have been written without having him in the ideas but the addition of him made each and every idea so much stronger. What killed me the most is I put so much into getting this done? I even tried to start extra early to figure out what I wanted to do. There were a lot of things I wanted to say. The hardest think to do was not to go off and rant. There were crazy amounts of things that I could have ranted about. That is another big problem I have when righting especially about something economic like that. The sky was the limit in the mistakes that I could have made. This causes me many problems when writing. At some points I started to rant to much and I had to go back. I know we are allowed to rant a little and put our own twist on Slades view and I did. The only thing I wanted to make sure enough of was I did not do it too much

on my way to the final

          Working on this final was no easy task at first. There was a lot of pre work to figuring out what to write and what to choose. I spent a ton of time just sitting and thinking of which to choose. When I really thought about it I came to the choice of choice number two. This was not too difficult to choose because I had a lot to say about this topic. To get started I figured out what I wanted to say about the “Made to Break” book and how Slades view on this really went with going green. I think I may have at first over thought the idea of how to put everything together. The way I started out my planning was to make a kind of web. This allowed me to figure out what every paragraph would be about. This is the way that I like to write my essays. The hardest thing to do was to find the sources that I wanted to use to help me prove his points. Working on a final is a very stressful thing and to get it just right takes a lot of pre work. Who knows if my style of writing will work for other people but it works well for me. There are many flaws in my style and there are so many things I could change. To get everything right this just helps to make things work out and be organized for me. If I do not plan out so mechanically like this I makes my job and the outcome of my paper not as good. I think the way that I have planned for this paper has really helped to make a very strong paper. If a person prepares very well than they will have a very strong outcome for their paper.

whats happening to facebook

Finding a way to pay for a company like any online company that actually does not sell hands on product is difficult to find a source of income. Yes the potential investors should have been amazed because the Facebook is different than anything else out there. The site is able to go for what college students want. It is very hard to try to analytically write about a site that we all know to now affect so many people’s lives. Like this is a company that if anyone knew what Facebook would become as profitable and so part of life than they would invest every penny that they had into it. For the lucky people who did invest they got so lucky to get into a business like this one. I feel so sorry for the people who passed up investing in Facebook. They are probably shooting themselves right now that they said no.

            The act of becoming a company is a huge step for an online business. Yes people can make profit from running a business out of your room or small office but once the steps are taken to become a company there are entire new issues. A company becomes very serious and at that point there are more legal aspects that need to be followed because of more employees. Like the book said it is a lot different being a CEO than being roommates with somebody. Getting Rothschild on board seemed to be a huge thing for the company. Getting people with experience like him is great to have when a business is growing. I also think that having inexperience but creative and ambitious people like the founders on board is what makes billion dollar companies not experience. People with experience tend to play it too safe and not take the risks inexperienced people do take. This combination of experience and ambition is a match not to mess with.

            To figure out what Facebook truly is, is not so simple to figure out. There are so many if not infinitesimal factors to determine what it really is. But when it comes down to it Facebook is a gateway. It is a gateway of communication and now part of life for many people. Without Facebook many people would not have come back in contact with people they lost touch with. More and more Facebook is changing and it is changing the world. There are becoming more and more things that people can do on Facebook. Like when they talk about photos and how people can see when friends upload new ones. This builds more and more connections between people. On another not privacy is another huge issue on Facebook. Everyone that uses the site knows about the Facebook stalker or has come across someone stalking their page. The only thing is don’t put something up you don’t want the entire world to see simple as that. People can choose what to and what not to put on their page so its up to them to decide what they want people to see. The nice thing now is that we can limit what people and who we want to see our stuff. The evolution of Facebook is becoming a necessity of life. I believe that Facebook is becoming as big as the cell phone. Where do you think Facebook will take us?

oh no its FACEBOOK what is Facebook

Finally the time is here this should be the most relevant and interesting book out of all the books we have read. Facebook has always been a great way to connect people as in the case of Morales his group grew really fast. There is becoming more and more of Facebook as a part of life. If you go anywhere more and more people are joining the Facebook community. The Facebook effect is wide and vast. It is starting to affect all sorts of variation between people’s lives. The part were it says Facebook is bringing the world together is a broad statement but it is so true. It gives people so many ways that allows people to talk across the world and share so much information across the internet.

            Only if the creator knew how huge his creation would become but I guess no one truly knows how big their inventions will be accepted and grow. Harvard was the start of a new world a new step to evolution. It is really cool that he took and evolved his ideas from things he liked in life. Like how he took the away messages from AIM to use them in his new creation. Facebook is vastly different from everything else that was out there. It is so much different from MySpace it is not even funny. The purpose of Facebook is also so much different from anything else out there.

            TheFaceBook blew up and kept growing it a huge fashion. When they tried to get investors to invest at first Y2M did not believe that they had so many people using the website so much. I bet that they are killing themselves that they did not invest as soon as possible. Imagine how just the 25 million is chump change compared to the value now. The amount of money they spend as college students is kind of mind staggering. Its so hard to manage everything and make money but I guess that’s why they are at Harvard.

            The internet is a huge empire that everyone wants to get into. This is because just a small piece of the pie is worth so much value. More into the want for Facebook was that so many people were coming to using Facebook. As they said, “This was good and bad”. Of course they want to keep growing so fast but they could not keep up with the amount of people that were using the site. This was so much to take main frames are only designed for a max amount of activity. This is a huge problem and was a huge problem for them. Even now they run into this problem occasionally you will notice that the server will be down or will have some sort of glitch this is because Facebook is constantly changing.

            It is so cool to learn some of the details and steps they took to evolve and create this site we all use. Just think if he never decided to bring the white board out and create the site. He truly changed society in so many ways. Its no even fathomable how he has changed peoples lives. What do you think life would be like if there wasn’t TheFaceBook effect?
