Journal #7 Digital Access
1.What I found most surprising is that these small rural towns have such a fast internet speed. I always imagined that large cities had an overall faster speed.
2.No information in particular was difficult to find.
3.I believe that everyone should have fast internet, it's easier said then done, however.
4.I've never been scared of my information being on the internet, mostly because I share the absolute bare minimum, I usually fake all my information on websites.
5.Never, nothing that I post would effect me in such a way.
6.The biggest issue is that young people put all their information on the internet, where people can easily find and research you.

Assignment #2: Privacy Please
- Our medical records should be all digitally stored online for all medical professionals to access within the hospital when needed.
It would be a lot easier to access the files if they were stored digitally, instead of searching through files and files you could just search up and look at a file. It would cut down time.
- Voting should be done 100% online for both provincial and federal elections starting in 2017.
It depends on what this entails. If this means voting machines, then i'm all for it. If it means that you can vote from your home, not so much. I believe that you should have to go to a community centre and be ID'd before being able to vote.
- School report cards and daily attendance should be digital and passwords should be issued for parents to log in and check results.
I agree, while parent teacher would probably be abolished, parents would be able to see how their kids are doing in school in seconds.
- Schools in 2020 should be closed and teachers and students should begin learning in virtual classrooms using digital technology at home.
Not at all, digital courses exist now but a fully fledged digital education? No way. If school was completely virtual they would not learn vital social skills that they get talking to their peers face to face.

Assignment #1 Fast Internet Speeds in Small Towns.
1.These small rural towns have extremely fast internets speeds, which is around 1 gigabyte per second.
2.These small towns are getting faster internet because they are setting it up themselves, instead of big companies such as Bell.
3.They are fortunate because the local internet company wants to provide the locals the best possible technology.
4.They built their own fibre op because many people were threatening to leave the town due to it. They built it using government grants and loans.
5.Stratford became known as an IT hub, that has a 400 million dollar data centre set up.
6.Bell is planning to sent up 1.1 million homes in Toronto with Fibre Op, they already have set up a million people in Northern Ontario and Atlantic Canada.
7.More and more people are leaving rural areas for cities, internet is one reason of this.
8.The government has supplied 305 million dollars to insure that every household gets at least 5 megabytes per second.

Journal #6: Digital Buisness
1.What I found most surprising is that Google Wallet and Apple Pay exist, I haven't heard of either prior to this.
2.I found the information about how PayPal makes their money hard to find.
3.The only thing i've bought online were digital goods. My sister however regularly bought clothing online.
4.I've never sold anything online.
5.
5. If you have online subscriptions that renew every year make reminders and notes of the renewal dates so you don't get charged large fees without knowing they are coming.
This one happened to me in particular quite a lot. It sucks having something you don't use anymore suck $60 out of your account.
The biggest issue when it comes to young people buying good online is that they possibly don't know how it works. They could possibly get renewals that rack up a lot of money by accident.

3. When buying online sometimes prices seem too good to be true so be careful of LARGE SHIPPING COSTS designed by the seller to get the real price through trickery.
This could potentially cost you a lot of money.

Assignment #2: PayPal
1.PayPal is a free, secure method of payment that you can use on the millions of websites. It has buyer protection so you can shop fearlessly.
2.PayPal does not reveal your name or your address or your credit card information.
3.Paypal makes money by charging the seller of the product around 30 cents. They also take the money of their users and generate interest from it.
4.If you buy a product from across the world and it does not arrive PayPal will give you a refund. If the seller can not supply proof of delivery they give you a refund.
5.I would allow Paypal. It has 100 million users and is an extremely easy way to pay.
6.Google Wallet is still growing, so my opinion may change. But right now, I prefer Paypal. Google Wallet is still in development and it's user base shows it, there are a lot more users on Paypal. Not only that, but you are unable to send 10,000 in more then a 5 day period, making large scale purchases difficult.

Assignment #1: Digital Shopping Carts?
1.The two biggest reasons that people still shop at stores are:
1:You don't have to wait 4 days for the product to arrive.
2:You can easily return the product if there is a defect with it.
2.The two biggest reasons why people shop in stores are.
1:You don't have to be social and actually go anywhere, you just click a button.
2:The product is delivered straight to your door.
3.I would rather shop in a store. Instead of waiting half a week you can get your product from a short drive.
4.I believe that online shopping will be the main method of shopping due to how fast it's upgrading. Amazon started using drones to deliver products cutting the time it takes to deliver it to your house by a large margin.
5.I think this is a smart business plan. Not many people send letters so there is a lot more opportunities transporting bought products.
6.They should have a support page and a LOT of people checking it.

Journal #5 Digital Wellness
1.What I found most surprising is how far a car goes in meters. Seeing distance as a different unit really shows how dangerous distracted driving truly is.
2.I think that the five pledges were the hardest, only because I was having trouble thinking them up.
3.I think the biggest issue for young people about Digital Wellness is that they use it way too much. Instead of exercising they just sit down at their computer all day.
Assignment #2 (The Pledge)
1 and 2.There are products to make using technology slightly more healthy, but I outright believe that we should be using digital products less for more productive activities. I'm not saying that you should be exercising every hour, but you should not be on your computer for five hours straight, at least stretch if you are going to.
Activity #2: Pledges
1.I pledge to not use technology past 9 to make sure that I go to sleep early.
2.I pledge that I will stretch after being on a computer for a long period of time.
3.I pledge to not use my computer for more then 2 hours at a time.
4.I pledge to be more physically active.
5.I pledge that I will limit my phone usage as much as possible.

4.I pledge to be more physically active.
5.I pledge that I will limit my phone usage as much as possible.
Assignment 1 (One Mississippi)
1.Seeing distance in meters really shows just how dangerous it is to be distracted when driving. You go 31.9m/s when going 115km/h. Just looking down at your phone or glancing to the side is enough time to launch you off the road.
2.The advertisement is done really well. It shows the spectators that looking at your phone for even a second could result in a crash. It may not work merely because they're in a movie cinema. It's likely that most people would disregard it since the situation is fake.
3.I'm not sure if this would be possible in any way what so ever, but the invention would be an electronic device that automatically shuts off all cell phones in the vehicle. Passengers are likely to be frustrated but that's the cost for safety.
4.I don't necessarily care about people speeding, mostly because I trust that if they are going that speed they can handle it, but I will call out them being on their phone.

Journal 4 (Netiquette)
1 and 2.What I find most surprising is the Terms of Service. Companies know that people aren't going to read their 50 pages of nonsense before they use their product, and they use this to their advantage. Companies like Sony put it in their ToS that you are unable to sue them once you accept it. One company actually stated that they would give
$1000 to anyone who seen and called a phone number in their ToS, just to prove that no one reads them. People should definitely read the ToS as it may legally bind them into a deal they had no idea existed.
3. I would give myself a 5/10. I'm pretty neutral online, while I do insult some people I also help quite a few. I'd like to think that those balance themselves out.
4. If I took anything out of this unit it is to read or at least google Terms of Services before accepting them.
5. I think the biggest issue for young people are the comments they make. Since they're anonymous they think they're invincible leading out to quite a lot of insults being thrown.

Online Discussion Boards (Assignment #3)
1.I would say that most of these guidelines are similar to talking face to face, besides the one like no sarcastic tone and all caps, as they would not take effect in a real discussion.
2. 1:Check the FAQ or Google before asking, It's pretty annoying when someone asks you a question that has been already answered many times.
2:Don't badmouth others, for obvious reasons.
3:Be brief, no one wants to read 10 paragraphs to figure out what you're trying to say.
4:Don't write anything that sounds angry or sarcastic, no one can hear your tone, they can't tell if you're being serious or not.
3. I make comments online all the time, and it really depends. If someone asks me a question I tend to be helpful. Besides that i'm relatively malicious.
4.Not really, I don't imagine that they would be much material on that subject, even if there was, it's not very captivating.

NETiquette Do As I Say (Assignment #2)
1.The fine and jail time for getting caught downloading a pirated file is huge they go up to 250,000 and five years of jail time respectively. I would hate to be struck with either.
2.If you pirate a movie, game or film, you are directly taking money out of the hands of the producers, which is likely to cause them to drop making movies entirely.
3.Pirating a film is likely to reduce the quality of it. Since it's a straight file that's not being streamed, the person that pirated it is likely to just take a low quality version of the movie so that it takes less space.
4.Bullying people online could potentially lead to them committing suicide.
5.People put a lot of effort into creating things and it would be a shame to take it without giving them a dime.

Online Standards of Service Use (Assignment #1)
1. Snapchat is popular for being able to send pictures or videos that delete themselves after being viewed, But an update to the Snapchat Terms of Service indicates that Snapchat has the rights to reproduce, modify and republish your photos and save those photos to Snapchat’s servers, specifically in relation to the ‘Live Story’ feature.

Journal Entry #3 Digital Rights and Responsibilities
1.What I find most surprising about Digital Rights and Responsibilities is the shear about of them. Too be completely honest I myself don't follow the majority of them.
2.People do not act responsibly online, mainly because you can make yourself anonymous. You can insult people without them knowing it's you.
3.I would say the one about Piracy is most important. The act of Piracy takes money out of producers hands since consumers can get their products for free.
4.I think that the biggest issue relating to young children is the lack of supervision they're given. The internet gives them access to a lot of illicit things.
