PSA/Video class presentation
My entire project is based on the engagement of students in STEM fields. To this end, I would like to create a video that accomplishes this by shadowing the extremely science popularizer Michael from Vsauce. He speaks on complicated yet exciting aspects of science and is able to connect with his audience by making comparisons to things people see and already understand.

Sight
What were your thoughts on the video -
I really enjoyed it. With the incredible fast pace of technology and the innovation hubs around the world I can see the augmented reality coming into fruition, however the idea of being able to "hack someone's brain" is still centuries away.
Web)
I am still in between because I was having problems with my template. It would not let me open my saved work so I was forced to download a completely different one.
3)
I think importing images would definitely be something that needs to be refreshed.

Web
Web 1.0 was an early stage of the conceptual evolution of the world wide web, centered around a top-down approach to the use of the web and its user interface.
Web 2.0 allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where people are limited to the passive viewing of content.
Web 3.0 This will be about semantic web (or the meaning of data), personalization (e.g. iGoogle), intelligent search and behavioral advertising among other things.
I do believe the web benefits society but I also believe it can negatively impact society as well. The function of the web allows us to all be able to communicate to share our ideas and thoughts on a platform enabling us to be connected. However this also disconnects us from our families, real-life friends and our reality. It has a huge impact on our everyday life. It can really intrude our personal lives, causing us to forget the important aspects of humanity. I think more people are realizing that they should strive for a balanced life, one that is not too dependent on technology but allows us to take advantage of its prowess.

Coding Reflection
a) Well its a bit of both. I recently started learning C++ and I find HTML to be ALOT easier and less tedious.
b) Yes definitely. I really think that's the beauty of coding. It shows us how everything we use everyday works and it can get down to the most specific detail.
c) Definitely. I always thought about branching out and learning another computing language that can be useful in website building and applications to websites. Understanding the how to create the layout for my page will help me in creating my website.
d) I think I'll be a lot more tempted to do so to find out what makes each website to special. Its interesting because a few months ago that thought would have never crossed my mind.
