Getting Things Done Reflection

     The "Getting Things Done" process consists of five steps which are to collect, process, organize, review, and do. I completed this process by using a Microsoft Word document. This is the first time I have completed this five step process. I started by compiling a list of everything that I am responsible for on a weekly basis; and I concluded my list by indicating my life goals that I hope to accomplish one day. This process was not very difficult, hard, nor time-consuming for me. I believe this process will help me in the future when I get a full-time job, and have my own family to care for thus creating more responsibilities for myself. Until I have a full-time job, I will not continue this process because my work schedule only consists of fourteen hours per week and is not a rotating schedule. The best organizational process that works for me currently is keeping an agenda book with notes about appointments, and due dates for course assignments

Social Networking

      Technology has a very crucial role in the daily lives of thousands of people. Social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn are used by many individuals, as well as companies and organizations. Social networking has a major role in my personal life. The social network site, Facebook allows me to stay in touch with many friends and all of my family members as they live far away. Through social networking, I am able to remain close with all my friends and family removing the barriers of time and space between us. Social networking has also enabled me to be constantly connected to majority of my co-workers which has eased our communication with each other. It has also helped my church to promote events and fundraisers. Social networking will hopefully also enable me to develop connections with those in my career interest area.  I also believe that many of my peers are also impacted by social networking sites in the same capacity as me.

Blogs & Web Pages: Is there a difference?

          The internet has an unlimited amount of information. With the Internet, there are two ways that news can be shared with people around the world which is through a blog and web page. Blogs and web pages are very similar. Both are accessible via the internet to anyone, share news about various events, and provide information on numerous topics. Web pages can be created for individuals, groups, or companies. Majority of web pages are controlled by professionals.

            Blogs are very similar; they can provide information, share news, and also provide links. Blogs can be created by anyone, from elementary students to professional journalists. Blogs are unique because the news on a blog may not necessarily be something that is found in for example, a newspaper. Rather, the one who shares the news, which would be "the publisher", may consider that information to be of high importance to them. Their news may also be considered to be very important to another person. Others who find the information on a blog may comment with their opinion or news relating to that topic. Blogs enable many people to find others who share their interests and work together on matters they consider to be very important. Blogs can also be used in an educational setting, to aid the learning process for students. Unlike websites, blogs enable the user to customize the blog on topics that are important and interesting to them.
