Journal #6: Digital Business

I found it most surprising how different online and offline shopping are from each other. I found Paypal confusing at first but I learned to understand it better.Yes,I found online purchasing easy and reliable.Yes, I've sold something online and it worked out good. Online shopping prices are good so watch out fro the high shipping budget. When ever using KIJIJI deal in a city and don't send money its safer to be their and give it to them. I think the biggest problem with younger people online shopping is that they don't watch the shipping price.

BBT 10- Assignment #2: PayPal

  1. PayPal seems to have a lot of safety because it has a lot of products trusting it with its products. 
  2. It keeps us safe because it keeps all our information safe and no one can see our bank accounts and personal information. 
  3. PayPal does charge the buyers because it charges the sellers, it adds a little bit on to their price and they take their profit off it when they sell it. 
  4. When your product doesn't come, PayPal knows so it protects you by not giving your information to that store and your completely safe fro the hackers and the people that just want to steal your money
  5. If I owned a company and I needed a place to buy online stuff I would use PayPal because its reliable and people use it all the time. 
  6. Thse two sites are basically the exact same thing. The only thing different about them is the site they are on. They are both reliable and people use them.  

Assignment #1: Shopping Carts

  • the 2 biggest reasons people still shop at stores are because its quicker to go to a store and get the stuff you want if you get it on the internet it could take weeks. Also because you don't know if you can get what you want on-line but you can if you shop at stores. 
  • the 2 biggest reasons people shop on-line because people don't have to go no where they can just order it at home. also you might get a better deal on-line
  • I would prefer to shop at stores no on-line because I think it would be quicker and easier.
  • I think it would strike a balance because people like to shop at stores for some stuff but they also like to shop on-line for other stuff. 
  • Yes I think this is a good business change for Canada Post because it can focus on getting products to the people faster.
  • On-line shopping could insure that there is a 31 day return policy that would make it easier for people to return their stuff.    

Journal #5: Digital Wellness

  1. I found most surprising when it comes to issues around Digital Wellness was that people actually text all the time when there driving and think its ok
  2. I found confusing about this unit was that people still text and drive even if they know it is dangerous. 
  3. I think the biggest  issue for young people when it comes to Digital Wellness is that with all the new video games that come out they stay in the house and don't go outside to get fresh air.

Assignment #2: The Pledge

  • I pledge to never text and drive 
  • I pledge to not go on my phone at night so i get enough sleep 
  • I pledge to spend less time texting 
  • I pledge to not text at all times 
  • I pledge to limit the amount of time I spend on the phone

Assignment #1: One Mississippi

  1. seeing these distances in meter sticks make me feel about looking away from the road when driving is it would be dangerous and unsafe so you shouldn't do it.  
  2.  this commercial is effective because when the people look at there phone the car crashes on the tv. one reason why it may not change anything is because people still wont listen even after watching that video. 
  3. an invention that can help keep drivers from being distracted and summarize it here is to be able to have you phone to read you messages to you.
  4. The next time I'm in a car with a driver who is speeding or repeatedly distracted I will speak up and attempt to correct the errors of the drive because ill tell him it is very dangerous and it could cause him to crash.

Journal Entry #4 (Netiquette)

1. The thing I found most surprising was how we do not realize how unprotected the sites we use really are.

2. No, I do not think they do but they should because if you do not it is very easy for people to find out information and take your information from you.

3. I would rate my behaviour as a 6, I do not read the terms of agreement usually, but my accounts are protected.

4.  Be aware of the terms and agreements.

5. I think the biggest issue is that we do not realize what actually can happen on line and how easy it is for something to happen.

Assignment #3: "Netiquette" Online Discussion Boards

  1. Many of the guidelines are similar to how we want people to treat us in person, because people deserve to be treated face to face the same as they get treated on-line.
  2. I don't think many internet users bother reading the Terms of Service/Use agreements. It is just so many long paragraphs filled with minuscule writing, which looks menacing and time consuming. So just hit "I Agree", or "Accept" instead.
  3. No I never made comments on-line like you tube and stuff 
  4. No, I don't really think I would enjoy a course where I'd get to discuss issues online with other students because it is easier to explain stuff in person. 

Assignment #2: "Netiquette" Do As I Say


  • I do not want to go to jail. 
  •  lots of work and time is put into making movies so they should get paid for them.
  • You should not download anything unless you really have too because that takes time. 
  • Always go why the rules when it comes to the internet..
  • You should not download anything unless you really have too because that takes time.

Journal entry #3

  •  find most surprising when it comes to digital rights and responsibilities are having the right to privacy. They are all things we learned before whether we have paid attention to them or not. 
  • I do not think most people act responsibly on line because most people don't think when they do something on line.
  • I think the most important commandments out of the ones I listed was "thou shall not send hateful emails to other people. 
  • I think the biggest issue around digital rights and responsibilities among young people is that they don't think about both their others privacy, if they have a chance to view something of someone else's they will.

Journal entry #2

 What I found surprising that the maximum period of time you can wait to reply to someone is one week, and by that time by the time you answer its  considered rude. I learned that you are supposed to reply within 24 hours, most people do. I also learned that you should not type in all caps because it makes the person you are talking to think you are yelling  at them and that your loud . Blind Carbon Copy is an email field to which you can add several recipients, and the address is hidden from everyone else.  This can be used when people  forward emails without removing the addresses of previous recipients, which leads to messages that are repeatedly sent to many recipients. Out of this information I think the most important thing young people are to consider is to just think before you send and reply. Like is it good enough? Will they know who you are? How long ago did I receive the messege its  all important because once you send a message, it cannot be unsent so it has to be exactly what you want before you send it.

BBT 10: Digital Communication


  1. The definition of Digital Communication is - any electronic exchange of information. 
  2. In my opinion some advantages of Digital Communication are: 
  •  If you need to get a hold of someone ASAP then Digital Communication can come in handy. 
  •  People have friends and family that live far away, and Digital Communication helps them stay in contact with each other. 
  •  With Digital Communication, information can be stored and retrieved when needed. 
  •  Digital Communication is fast, easy, and convenient for many situations
       3. The three most popular of Digital Communication today are texting, calling, and facebook (posting/messaging). I think these three are the most popular because, well almost everyone from the ages 11 and up have a cell phone, and is pretty much always in reach of its owner, and whenever someone wants to give someone a text or call, the phone is right there for them to use. Or if your bored you could just shoot a friend a text, and get a reply within seconds. Facebook is huge all around the world, and people from all over the place use it for Digital Communication.
        4. Some forms of Digital Communication that I don't think will be around much longer, is Blackberry messenger (BBM), because smart phones are taking over, and blackberrys just aren't as popular as they once were. I also don't think that Facebook will always remain as popular as it is now. I think it will soon die down, and people just won't use it as much. Snapchat is another form of digital communication that I think will die down. It is extremely popular right now, but it will soon die down because it is not used for all good purposes, and it almost like another form of texting.
        5. Five scenarios where you should not use Digital Communication:
  • When making a big announcement, for example announcing an engagement. 
  • Breaking up with someone should never happen over text/call, it should always be done face to face.
  • Breaking bad news to someone, for example a death. 
  • You should never be using digital communication during a bad time, for example at a wake or funeral, or a wedding. 
        6. All forms of digital communication are dangerous. If used incorrect, they can all be harmful.Some people do not use digital communication in the way it is made for, which is very dangerous and harmful. People do not know how serious something they do over digital communication can be.

        7. I think people will continue to be more and more connected, because technology is only going to improve and become bigger and better.

        8.If a person dies, or becomes to sick or injured to communicate or for any other reason to avoid digital communication, I think that their records of online activity should not be touched. I think it should be left alone, because sometimes friends and family like looking at old pictures or messages between one another, to bring back the good memories of that person.
