We don’t like to change because we get comfortable with the old way even though it may be improved. Some way to enhance technology is to make it easier to use. People who develop these products need to make better instructions and make them more widespread so others can be able to learn. Also, technology needs to be more hacker-safe, because people can steal your things.

01/29/10- Do I think Alcohol Ed. Programs are worth it? Not at all because it is the influence of friends, personal experiences and the observation of others’ experiences that what ultimately determines if that person is going to drink or not. Usually if someone’s going to drink, Alcohol Ed. is not going to stop them because their more focused on just having a good time. If a person is not going to drink, its because they have already known the affects of alcohol from observing others or hearing things from their parents or friends. It is already pre-determined before Alcohol Ed. whether a person is going to drink or not. If they explain the effects of alcohol on the brain it would not make a difference because of my previous statement in that their decisions are already pre-determined.

1/25/10- My first time blogging was pretty good. Everything went smooth, the writing was comfortable and I feel like blogging is a good idea because it does give some purpose to your writing. It seems relevant now that people may come across my writing and get to know what I’m thinking. It may enhance my audience’s knowledge but if they give their inputs, then I actually have a chance to gain some new insights and learn something. So what would be a seemingly lifeless piece of writing with no future except to be disposed of has the potential to blossom into a piece of artwork that can be shared and explored by countless amounts of people.
