Growing Up Online

doesn't surprise me:

  • kids are always connected to the internet 
  • or they are always chating/messaging 
  • there are predators in the internet online that can look at you
  • there are sexual predators online
  • random people add you and ask you for your address and personal info
  • girls have many eating disorders 
  • kids get drunk on concert and make disturbances in the concert 
  • parents take action on drunk video and notify the school, kids get in  trouble
  • picture hide some conversations 
  • people delete conversations and take pictures of them 
  • fame through pictures in the internet 
  •  fight on the internet 
Surprises Me:
  • kids cannot get out of the internet well they have nothing else to do
  • kids now do not read books they spark-notes them 
  • no privacy 
  • teachers now accept the fact that wee get information from websites such as Spark Notes.
  • people are being sexually solicited online by internet predators
  • people pray to goddess Ana for being skinnier 
  • kid suicides because he got bullied by the kids at his school/ cyber bullying
  • all the hidden secrets in a kids computer 
  • under age kids upload a video of them drunk to the internet 
  • a dad didn't call back the dad of the kid who suicided 
  • forums for anorexic \
  • internet acccelerates a kid suicidal thoughts 
Changed:
  • no one now has a Myspace
  • people now a days have more possibilities of privacy 
  • now a days kids are less addicted to the computers 
  • parents now a days do not worry so much about 
  • now a days cyber bullying is very common 
  • now parents don't go or hack their children accounts or they can't 
  • people do not add strange people anymore 
  • less public drinking 
  • people can now be easily tracked 
  • phones are more complex
  •  computers are more advanced 
  • more protection online by more recent software 



  1. I identified the most to the topic about sometimes your parents get worried or scold you for being such a long time on the internet. My mom is always scolding me for spending so much time online and procrastinating my homeworks and duties. but at least she doesn't request my password and tell me I have to give it to her. But she tries to add me as a friend so that she can see my pictures and everything. Although I still do not add her as a friend.
  2. the topic of suicide. I have never in my life had suicidal thoughts due to an online experience. Never have  ever thought of committing suicide and never will I think it.\
  3.  I think they should just back off give the kids some space unless things get really serious like suicide and bullying and the kid doesn't tell them anything. That is when parents should get involved.
  4. to make new friends, and be socially available at all times. So that you can interact more with the world and the people in it. Online not only works for friends but for example if you have a job you vcan be connected and talk to your boss from any part of the world.

Swiss school


  • SUMAS first sustainability school in Europe it is located in Switzerland in the city of Gland
  • it is in the modern building of the IUCN
  • this school tries to unite business administration with sustainability trying to join them together.
  • very nice to live in Switzerland 
  • offers bachelor and master at business administration in sustainability management

  • you can measure your ecological footprint 
  • by 2050 if we make no change in our way of living well need twice the earths surface to absorb our waste and CO2
  • pushing industry to strife for more ecological ways and alerting the consumers to be cautious when buying goods.

  • we are causing global warming, the hottest 10 years in the world have occurred in the past 14 years.
  • moral issue not a political issue 
  • global warming causing larger storms
  • if the Artic melts the sea level; world wide would rise 20 feet.
  • if 100,000 refuges have a big impact how much would 100,000,000

  • plane that flies only with solar power/energy.
  • difficulties can turn into potential opportunities.
  • pioneering spirit: think and act out of the box..
  • new solutions to invent another future.
  • the plane due to its lack of fuel can theoretically fly for ever.
  • all technologies in the plane can be used on everything it can reduce our energy consuption in half.
  • 1 passenger plane only one pilot can go.
  • Arizona is a solar state
A way I would apply sustainable consumption in my city would be more sustainable means of transportation.  Well Bogota the city in which I live has been greatly polluted by toxic gases and smoke that the cars produce as they burn fuel. We have applied measures to minimize the number of cars per day bit it is still bot enough. I would go as far as making people ride bikes instead of cars to see the sustainable consumption of fuel increase. Or would do anything to acquire the technology that solar impulse has developed.

Bogota is also well known for producing lots amounts of trash and/or waste. I would find a more sustainable way to get rid of the trash than burning it and harming the environment by gases produced by the burnt trash and so try to minimize the effects of global warming which are becoming very noticeable these days. Sustainability is the future of this planet and we need to develop more technology based on this concept and don't focus as much as we do in development of products like laptops and cellphones. We need to find an Eco-friendly way tom produce these products.

GAFE

In Google Drive you can upload photos, videos, documents, and other files of importance that you want to keep close together.  With it you can create documents spreadsheets, presentations and much more things.The awesome thing about Google Drive is that you can access it anywhere with an internet connection, here is a great link fro a video that shows the basics: here.


  • spreadsheets: are an interactive computer application program for organization and analysis of data in table/tabular form. It is like a paper accounting worksheet which is basically like a Microsoft Excel. Spreadsheets are really useful for making tables charts and graphic and text organizers they can serve many purposes in school like in math to make data tables or bar graphs or any sort of graphs, etc. 
  • Documents: this documents are like a Microsoft Word a sheet where o can write or freely edit it. the good thing unlike all the documents you can create in Word is that this docs can be accesed from anywhere with an internet connection. plus you can add people that will be able to see or edit the document with you. this docs are really useful when you are doing a work in partners at school because both of you can edit it at the same time from different places and you can see what he is writing and identify where he is the page well his/her name appears where they are writing.
  • Presentations: this is like a PowerPoint or very similar but again you can add people to be able to see or edit it. you can use this when you need something bigger than a document it works for every class and it is very useful.
This Google app is like a social network that can be for educational purposes or just social purposes. I myself have a Google Drive. you have 5 gb of free space. This drive works with an online server form Google.
