Wordle #2

This wordle has 25 of the most important words that I used to find my research. The single most important word is "internet" because that what my whole project is about. I chose the color pattern because it matches my background. The blue in the words and on my background represent electricity to me and thats what internet needs to work. The random word pattern is because whe you look at HTML writing it looks like a bunch of random letters and symbols.

Sources reflection

When I was researching information for my Blog I found it very easy to get good information and statistics. I think that is becasue other people see how important the internet is to daily life and they do studys to see exactly how we are affected by it. The best source that I could find was the pew internet website. That whole website is just one big survey and research project that shows exactly what the internet does for people in over time. It basically shows you everything you would ever want to know about the internet effects. The website that had the most bias was the iml.jou.ufl.edu website. It just talked about how good the internet was without giving any bad or negative things. Overall I didn't have any trouble finding information and it was easy answering my questions.

Reflection Paragraph

This Blog project was really fun for me. At first I didn't think that I would enjoy it but once I saw what I would be doing my mind quickly changed. The most important facts that I learned from this project is that the internet has come a long way. Since the early 1990's there was less than a half million people online. Now there are millions and millions of people on every day. That makes me think that the internet is a positive thing to people in their everyday lives. The thing that I found most surprising was how the older people were not using the internet as much as I thought they would. If I had the opportunity to do the project again and could do things differently I would try to make my page look better and try to have videos on it. Overall I had a really good time working on this Blog project.

FInding paragraph #3

My essential question for this last finding paragraph is "Why do we see the internet as such a usefull resource?"

"There is little doubt about how useful the Internet can be. Schoolchildren can receive help with homework, investors can keep track of stocks, sports scores and statistics are just a click away for fans. These are but a few of the myriad ways people use the Internet....Avid proponents of the Internet claim it could feasibly replace print media. The cost of publishing a newspaper or magazine online is far less than the cost of printing one. There is no need to purchase bulk paper and ink, which in itself makes publishing on the Internet more attractive. Moreover, not as many hired hands are required to publish online."

This quotation connects to my essential question because it explains how helpful the internet can be to everyday people. Some of the different uses are in this snippit of the quote "Schoolchildren can receive help with homework, investors can keep track of stocks, sports scores and statistics are just a click away for fans."(Purdy) All of these activities show how usefull the internet is and how it affects us everyday. I think the best example out of all those is how schoolchildren can get help with homework and projects.

"The Internet's number one feature is email. The number of users logging on continues to skyrocket. Most do so for email capability. It allows one to stay in touch inexpensively with family, friends and acquaintances next door, in the next town, in the next state, in the next country and so on. Email is faster and cheaper than "snail mail" (regular Post Office mail)"

This quote connects with my essential question because it tells one of the internets greatest parts. The greatest thing is the email. As it says in the quote, email saves us money because we dont have to pay for paper and the mail men to ship the mail to each house. Now we just have to simply type up a message, add our contacts, and then hit the send button. Within seconds those contacts will recieve the message. No more waiting days to get the letter and no more paying for stamps.

". Yet while the act formally known as blogging seems to have peaked, internet users are doing blog-like things in other online spaces as they post updates about their lives, musings about the world, jokes, and links on social networking sites and micro-blogging sites such as Twitter."

This last quote connects to my essential question because it talks about how people can do things that will entertain them. When we use the internet for entertainment we are usually doing it because we are stressed or we just need to get our minds off the real world. With the internet we can look up jokes and play games, listen to music and watch videos, and blogg about our daily life.
All of these three quotes all connect together to what I found while researching this topic. I found that the internet does in fact keep us entertained and we see it as a really usefull tool.

FInding paragraph #2

My essential question for this paragraph is "In what ways does the internet help people with their everyday activities?"

"According to our May 2010 survey, 78% of American adult internet users use the internet on an average day. Here are some of the things they do on a typical day. Use the internet-78%, send or read email-62%, use search engine to find information-49%, get news-43%, just for fun-38%, social networking-38%, check the weather-34%."

This quote connects with my essential question because it tells us exactly what it is that the internet helps with. The quote contains types of activities with a percentage of people that use the internet for that specific activity. The biggest percentage was general internet usage of all people with 78% and the biggest specific activity was to send or view emails at 62%(pew-internet). The quote proves that the internet is being used in a myriad of ways.       "45% of Internet users who ever get the news get it both online and offline. Of that group, 22% access news more often online; 71% get news more often offline from places like newspapers, radio and TV. 27% of Internet users who ever purchase tickets do so both online and offline. Of those 38% buy tickets more often online; 57% buy them more often by phone, mail, or in person 26% of Internet users who ever do banking or pay bills do so both online and offline. Of those, 34% do it more often online; 54% do it more often in offline. This quote connects with my essential question because it lists three of the most internet uses and they give a percentage of how many people do that activity online vs offline. Since this quote is a few years old, its interesting to see how things have changed since then. Now the internet has a higher percentage in each activity. That shows that the internet use is increasing.  "Some 40% of Internet users who get the news online say they log on daily, and a total of 70% do that at least several times a week. Some 25% of the online weather bugs will check weather daily, and 55% in all will check weather at least several times a week. Some 20% of online sports fans check sports scores daily, and 61% at least several times a week." This last quote connects with my essential question because it talks about how much of the internet users go on the internet everyday. According to the quote, a total of 70% of internet users log on daily several times a week. That is a huge number of people that go on the internet every single day of the week. All of these quotes relate and help prove my point that people are using the internet and that the internet is changing the way people live their everyday lives.

FInding paragraph #1

My essential question for this paragraph "Who has the internet affected the most generation wise?"

"Milliennials, those ages 18-33, remain more likely to access the internet wirelessly with a or mobile phone. In addition, they still surpass their elders online when it comes to many communication- and entertainment-related activities, such as using social network sites and playing games online."

The connection that this quote has to the essential question would be that it talks about a certain age group with the effects of how the internet has affected that specific age group. Internet has effected the milliennials most(ages 18-33). In addition, they still clearly surpass their elders online when it comes to many communication(Zickuhr). Senior people don't use internet for activities like communication as much as the younger generation does. Senior people use internet mainly for activities like checking news, weather, and things of that nature.

"Social networking use among internet users ages 50 and older nearly doubled--from 22% in April 2009 to 42% in May 2010"

According to an article by Mary Madden communication use of old people is growing. Even though older people don't use internet for communication as much, that's changing very fast. This quote connects with my essential question because it shows that older people are also using internet at a rising pace for communication just like younger people are. Senior people are becoming more and more familiar with internet and they are seeing benefits of it. Because of this, internet is affecting not only younger generations but older ones as well.

"Fully 73% of adult internet users (representing 54% of all US adults) went online to get news or information about the 2010 midterm elections, or to get involved in the campaign in one way or another."

My final quote says that a whole 73% of adult internet users got news about the 2010 election with the help of the internet. That's a huge number of people that is depending on the internet to supply them with accurate information at their fingertips. This connects with my essential question because it mentions how 54% of all US adults went online to find information. It shows that the internet is in fact affecting the adult population.

"Advanced technology always has dramatic effects on society. With the ability to work at home, a lot of people are leaving their offices for the greener grass that allows them to set their own hours, spend quality time with family and not have to deal with the often hasslesome commute to and from work. "

This quote talks about how the internet has a very big effect on society. As I stated before, the internet allows us to to tasks from the comfort of our own home while just 30 years earlier we would have to leave our house to do it. This comfort is causeing people to spend more time with their children, relax in thier own home instead of being in a stressful enviroment, and being able to work at home. The internet isnt a bad thing when it makes things simpler for us to do, but I do believe that we shouldnt totally depend on the internet and not ever leave our house again. The author of this article is Rob Purdy. This author uses little propagand in this quote. The only piece that I could find was glittering generalities. I think its that because he didnt say anything bad about the internet causing people to stay home more. He just talked about the positive things about it.

Purdy, Rob. "Internet effects on Society." www.iml.jou.ufl.edu. www.iml.jou.ufl.edu, n.d. Web. 20 March 2011. <http://iml.jou.ufl.edu/projects/students/purdy/index.htm>.

Quotes, paraphrase, and citation #4

"The commercial use of the internet by American adults has grown since the mid-2000s, with 58% of Americans now reporting that they perform online research concerning the products and services that they are considering purchasing. That is an increase from 49% who said they conducted product or service research online in 2004.

Morever, the number of those who do research about products on any given day has jumped from 15% of adults in September 2007 to 21% in September 2010. From February 2004, the number of adults conducting research on any given day has more than doubled, up from 9%.

Additionally, 24% of American adults say they have posted comments or reviews online about the product or services they buy, indicating a willingness to share their opinions about products and the buying experience with others.“Many Americans begin their purchasing experience by doing online research to compare prices, quality, and the reviews of other shoppers,” said Jim Jansen, Senior Fellow at the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project and author of a new report about online product research. “Even if they end up making their purchase in a store, they start their fact-finding and decision-making on the internet.” "

This quote talks about a few things. The first thing that it talks about is how people are now using the internet to make educated decisions on what items they purchase. They do this by reading reviews on that item and asking other internet users on their opinion on that item. Another thing that the author talks about is how people now compare prices from one store with other stores to try and get the best price. Imagine trying to do this without the internet. You would have to find the phone number for each store and call to see the price or drive to that store to ask. The internet saves a lot of time and money because everything is right there. The author of this article is Jim Jansen. The author uses research as a type of prapoganda in order to draw us in and believe the content that he has written.

Chart on my topic

This graph shows how people use the internet whenever they get on.

Quote, Summary, source analysis, and citation

"There is no doubt the Internet is a wondrous creation. The entire world is rapidly becoming obsessed with it. Everywhere you look you're bound to see something related to the Internet. Click on the icon at left to see an Internet growth summary.
There is little doubt about how useful the Internet can be. Schoolchildren can receive help with homework, investors can keep track of stocks, sports scores and statistics are just a click away for fans. These are but a few of the myriad ways people use the Internet.
When television exploded onto the scene in the 1940-50s, it provided much the same things the Internet is providing people today: entertainment and information. However, the Internet has certain advantages over television and, most importantly, it provides instant access to specific information. It is interactive, whereas television is not. Avid proponents of the Internet claim it could feasibly replace print media. The cost of publishing a newspaper or magazine online is far less than the cost of printing one. There is no need to purchase bulk paper and ink, which in itself makes publishing on the Internet more attractive. Moreover, not as many hired hands are required to publish online."

In this article it talks about how the internet has affected our society. It gives really good examples like the one about the tv and how it exploded in popularity. T.v gave people a source of entertainment, news, and information. It also shows how the internet can make things more cost effective. For example, when we print newspapers we use ink and paper plus manpower to get all those thousands of papers ready everyday. With the internet all you need is 1 person and that person can make a webpage that shows all that information in a fraction of the time. The increase in speed of the information helps us know of any important news like a natural disaster or huge event. The author of this article is Rob Purdy. The type of prapoganda that the author used is research because he listed many sources with their hyperlinks. Overall I think that this article greatly helps my blog because it compares the internet of today to the t.v of the 1940's and 50's.

Photo # 3

This picture shows how diverse the internet can be to all age groups. When we think of internet usage we usually think of young people. But, as you can see here the elderly can also enjoy the benefits of the internet. By the look of their smiles I can tell they really do enjoy it.

Quote, Summary, source analysis, and citation

"54% of adults used the internet for political purposes in the last cycle, far surpassing the 2006 midterm contest. They hold mixed views about the impact of the internet: It enables extremism, while helping the like-minded find each other. It provides diverse sources, but makes it harder to find truthful sources.

Fully 73% of adult internet users (representing 54% of all US adults) went online to get news or information about the 2010 midterm elections, or to get involved in the campaign in one way or another. We refer to these individuals as “online political users” and our definition includes anyone who did at least one of the following activities in 2010"

In this survey it shows how people use the internet to look up political information. It says that since 2006, there has been a huge growth in internet usage in finding political information. That information helps my topic because it shows how instead of reading the newspaper or watching the news on t.v people can now find exactly what they want to see on the internet. The survery also says that people that use the internet for things like political information may be misinformed because anybody can post anything they want on the internet. Because of this, using the internet may give you false information.The author wants uses a type of prapoganda that makes people more interested in this article and to hopefully believe it. That prapoganda technique is the use of statistics. Since it is a article there are a myriad of statictics throughout. I believe that that technique has worked very well because I find this surver and articel very convincing and believable becasue it has statistics.

Photo, caption, and citation #2

In this Picture a woman is in the comfort of her own home while talking on the phone and buying items on the internet. This shows the power of the internet and how it affects daily life. With the internet you can talk to a friend, look up any information, and buy items simultaneously while not even leaving your bed when you wake up.

Quote, summary, source analysis, and citation

     Quote:  "The vast majority of online Americans hold a high opinion of the Internet as a place to conduct the everyday tasks and pursue the everyday pleasures of life, such as checking the weather, doing their banking, communicating with friends and family, and playing games. Over the course of the four years in which the Pew Internet Project has been tracking online activities, a growing number of users have acted on their positive opinions of the Internet and gone online to do these things.
􀂄 92% of Internet users say the Internet is a good place to go for getting everyday information.
􀂄 85% say the Internet is a good way to communicate or interact with others.
􀂄 75% say the Internet is a good place to conduct everyday transactions.
􀂄 69% say the Internet is a good way to entertain themselves in everyday life."

Paraphrase:  This article provides the exact information that my topic is about. As you can see in this quote that I added above, many people use the internet for daily routines that other people had to do more labor to find out before we had the internet. People use it to check the weather, play games, online banking, and finding news.

  Summary: The article that I chose supports my topic 100%. It provides many statistics that prove how people are using the internet more and for daily things. One of the best pieces of information that it has is the statistics that are at the beginning of this post. It says that "92% of users say the internet is a good place to go for getting everyday information." This really supports my topic. The type of propaganda that the author uses to get readers to believe his information is the usage of statistics. Without these statistics I don't think that this article would be as convincing as it is.

In this picture a young woman is sitting in her home on the internet while eating pizza. This relates to my topic because it shows how the internet can be multi-tasked with other everyday activities.We can assume that she is looking at some news site that displays an infinite amount of information. If she didn't have the luxury of the internet she would have to do a lot more work to find out the same amount of information.

What I want to know about this topic

This topic has a wide range of possible questions that I would like to challenge myself to find but I am only going to choose five base questions and one overall general question. The overall general question is"How has the Internet affected our daily life?" I chose this question because it is what I want to find out and it is the basis for my whole investigation. The five sub-questions that I chose are  "How do we find information like weather and news now that the Internet is around?,Has the Internet brought humans to being more lazy than times when the Internet was not around?, If the internet goes away in the future, will we be able to live normal, healthy lives?, What about the Internet makes people so willing to use it for everything?, Will the internet come back to bite us one day?" I chose these five questions because I felt that they would provide very interesting information for us all to learn; while being easily understood and debated.

What I already know about this topic

Internet in the Morning

The internet is a relatively new invention and even newer if you count the time it took to make it practical to use. It has had a tremendous impact on everybody around the world; therefore, it is something that mostly everybody uses on a daily basis. It allows you to be connected to everybody in the world and gives you resources to find any type of information and to do anything that you want. I know that It has changed the way people live their daily lives too. When people wake up in today's time all they have to do is simply reach over to their bedside and get their phone or laptop and tap the NEWS app or face book app and they are instantly able to read about whatever they want, as much as they want.Back when you had to rely on news papers to find the news you had to get up and go retrieve you paper yourself or hope that somebody loves you and they will go and get it for you along with your breakfast in bed. I also know that the Internet makes it easier for people to stay entertained. With the Internet you don't even need a T.V to watch live streaming television or watch movies. You just go to a website like netflix and press "click here to watch". Basically, the Internet makes anything and everything way more easier and more enjoyable to get. I have gained this knowledge by experiencing this in-person.

The story behind why I chose this topic

The Internet Drags us in

How many people remember days where you wake up on a Sunday morning and you must get out of bed and walk to your front step to get the newspaper in order for you to know the news? A lot of people probably remember that because it was only a few years ago. In today's time we don't need to get out of bed in order for you to find out what is new in the news. All we have to do is either grab our laptop and look up the news in bed or even look at our smart phones. The reason why I chose my topic is because I wanted to let other people know of how much a great technology the Internet is and how is dramatically changed our daily routine in such a short amount of time; as a result, people have taken the Internet for granted.
