In Emerging Tech class on Monday, Professor Kisselburgh talked about being able to save your pictures and large documents on a website such as Flickr and Shutterfly instead of on your hard drive to save space. One of the biggest factors that goes into how much you pay for a PC is how big your hard drive is and how much it is able to store. These websites are great resources for people because it means they can get an affordable computer and still be able to store their large documents and photos! These sites are also awesome because they allow you to share your photos with other people, like your family! This is great because a lot of the time, webmail services don't allow you to send large files.

Really, trolls?
Happy Hump Day (Wednesday)!
So last night, I am reading for my Emerging Technologies class which is all about trolls and identity deceptions on the Internet. To be honest, I am not a real "techy" person and I have never heard of trolls before...except for the little doll ones I used to collect and play with when I was four.
I don't really understand why there are trolls. Why do they mess with people and frustrate us -- it's mean! Really, do they have nothing better to do? Go outside, trolls -- take a stroll and get some exercise. Maybe you'll feel better about yourself and stop messing with others on the Internet.
Thanks for reading....Have a good day!
BOILER UP!

My First Blog Entry!
Yay! My first blog entry!
In my Emerging Technologies in Communication class at Purdue, we are to create a blog and contribute to it every week. So, I will try to keep this interesting.
I am really excited to be getting into this social media world. I've also been tweeting since May. However, I really need to step up my tweets. I've found Twitter isn't very beneficial to you unless you Tweet every 5 seconds. Literally, I am totally amazed how often people tweet.
I am glad to be taking this class because a good portion of the class is learning about social media which is what the PR world is turning to. Even though my generation has grown up with computers, that doesn't mean we are totally digital literate. PR and communication professionals might be amazed how many communication undergrads aren't familiar with Twitter or blogging, for instance.
I like this blogging, so stick with me! Thanks for reading:)
