Monday the 30th's Class (and technology in my home)

In Mondays class we finalized the syllabus for the semester and continued our discussions about technology.  We went more in depth on our tech articles.  We learned the difference between closed and open source software and the advantages and disadvantage of both. I really don't know which I prefer because I haven't worked much with open source.  We also discussed file management.  I think having organized files is a very important tool for being efficient and not losing important files you might need.

The technology devices that I use in my home mainly are my Toshiba Laptop (yes, I am a "PC"), which has an intel core duo processor.  I love my computer and don't need anything more.  My house has wifi that is not the best.  I use a 1st generation Ipod Touch,  it does the job so I don't complain.  I have an Xbox 360 that is currently not working (go figure). That is about all of the technology I use in my everyday life.

First Week of Class

The first week of IM 260 really opened my eyes to what I'm going to be taking away from this class.  I am hoping to gain more knowledge on photoshop and indesign, because that is required in the areas of study and work I have been looking into.  I think these blogs are a great idea.  Having everyone make a blog will help us all on how to run a webpage and successfully network with others online.
