Reflection on e-waste

The devastion that e-waste has caused or will cause is unimagineable. The toxins that are in these obsolete machines are very harmful to humans and the enviroment alike. The truth is the enviroment is being destroyed slowly, but the more e-waste that we allow to happen, the faster the progress goes.

Reflection on Digitizing books

Digitizing every single book is a very interesting concept. Just imagining how long it would take to digitize all the books ever made is really amazing. I think that having every single book online would be much easier for me to locate key ideas in the book. I also wouldn’t need to go down to the library and waste about 20 minutes just getting the book when i can take 5 minutes to find the book online and get all the necessary information I needed from the book in the first place. Of course, doing this would hurt our privacy. If you go to a library, your privacy is ensured. Online, however, it is a different story. Personally I think it is a great idea to have books online for easy access, but at the same time, I feel a bit uncomfortable with it as well.

Reflection on Weaving the Web

Tim Berners-Lee is a very creative and imaginative person. The idea of the world wide web did not just spawn out of his head, and he did not just figure it out spontaniously. He began by working with smaller things, not really knowing that those smaller things would lead him to creating the world wide web. The concept as a whole was to make a computer more like a human. By giving it a sort of mind of its own, where it can help us with any problems we may have.

About Me

My name is Armando Vernacotola; I am Mexican and part Italian.Many people might see me as a serious person, but I can be a nice and fun friend if you have the patience to get to know me. I enjoy listening to rock and roll, and some hip-hop. My only book series and only books I have probably ever read is the Harry Potter seriesI absolutely love playing guitar hero! I find the game extremely entertaining and nice to feel as if I am really playing the song. I don’t think I am too good at the game but I still have the ability to beat every song on the expert level. My hobbies would consist of hanging out with friends, playing online first person shooter games, Cross Country, Track, and drinking Dr.Pepper like a mad man. I usually spend most of my day finishing homework from school and texting. I also enjoy eating the Texas whopper from burger king!Right now I am a junior and I hope to go to a decent college or university and major somewhere in the engineering category. I take AP classes and I am in the top 15% of my graduating class, for the time being. I do take my school work seriously; I find it serves as great practice for college where you will need the extra homework grade boost to pass the course.Overall I am a down to earth, laid back, and calm person. There is not much that I dislike in this world. I believe everything in this world should be appreciated in some way or manner since we only have one life time to enjoy them all.
