sorry its so late, my internet wasn't working.
To me creating an online persona is not just a way to be informative, it's also an exciting way to share intimate details of my personal life with friends and peers, and do so in a creative and personalized manner. take for example facebook. with facebook i can express myself through all the different applications such as the interview application. with this application, all my friends can learn more about me, without all the formalities of an in person conversation. the facebook community to me is amazing. the internet, and facebook enables me to connect with people from all over the country, as well as in other countries. being part of the online community helps the youth of today to stay connected, and informed, and allows us to do so in a creative and personal manner, without all the formalities of being in person.

my reaction to a space odyssey by Belinda Amouyal
As I watched this clip from Stanley Kubrick's "A Space Odyssey" I have to admit I was a little confused. I wasn't really sure what it was that I was watching, until the end of the clip. It is my feeling that this clip is completely open to interpretation. I feel that Kubrick got it all wrong! while the world we live in today may be full of destruction, it is also full of growth, and personal, as well as world-wide advancements. The fact that we, as human beings, are extremely technologically advanced, does not mean that by definition we are totally destructive as well.
Yes, there are those nations who choose to use their technology for the wrong reasons,
like Iran is trying to do with it's nuclear weapons, but that does not mean that every technological
advancement that mankind creates will be used in a destructive manner. Take for example, the personal computer, or PC. This invention has helped us to stay connected, well informed, and entertained. It allows us to do our work, talk to friends and family across the world, play games, listen to music, and gather information, simultaneously. If everyone shunned technology for fear of its destructive reprecussions, we would still be living in the dark ages. Not all technology is harnassed for destructive purposes. The fact that we are human beings, and have the ability to create, and use our intelect to better ourselves is what sets us apart from animals. An animal isn't capable of creating something like a computer. As intelligent beings, we have the ability and the power to create, and utilize such inventions. With this power, comes responsibility, and it is our responsibility to choose, how we utilize technology.
