Teens using Spreadsheets

Spreadsheets aren't usually what you find teenagers using, more like business people or adults but there are some ways spreadsheets would be useful for a teen. I think one way is if they're trying to keep up with a sport or activity. They could put the times and dates of practices and games/meetings or maybe even use it to keep up with the people in the activity. Another way might be them using a spreadsheet for school. Teens might use it to put when they have test or when homework's due. My last way I think teens would find spreadsheets useful if they were keeping track of family budgets or savings. See there are plenty of ways teens find spreadsheets useful.

Technology use Today

I agree with those who say we rely too much on technology especially when it comes to communication. The reason I agree to this is because I see everyday people using technology and its like they're glued to their phones or laptops or other type of technology they have. Now if you were to take all the technology away we would be lost, we would be bored and confused. If people didn't have technology to use for communication most people probably wouldn't talk to each other. I think people rely on technology to make it easier, to talk to a person they wouldn't normal talk to face-to-face because they're scared and we shouldn't live like that, where we rely on technology. We should be able to talk face-to-face with each other instead of screen-to-screen. That's why I agree to those who say we rely too much on technology.

Internet Safety

Have you been hacked or meet up with someone you met online? Lately the internet has been turning into a terrible places even peoples accounts are getting hacked etc., For example a girl met a man online and decided to meet up with him and her body was found the next day, she had been strangled by the man. This really disgusted me because the man not only lied about who he was but he murder a poor innocent girl. Now there are some ways/tips that can help keep your self and personal information safe.
Tip 1: Don't give out personal information (name, age, address, phone number, social security number) to strangers.
Tip 2: Never meet in person with an online stranger unless you get your parent's permission and have them come with you.
Tip 3: Never invite a stranger to come meet you in person or call you at your home.
Tip 4: Don't open attachments from strangers (or friends) without scanning them with an up-to-date anti-virus program.
Tip 5: Tell your parents right away if online interaction makes you feel uncomfortable or scared

Internet Safety

I think without the internet being governed and regulated the internet will just get more unsafe and messy. If the internet got governed and regulated I think a bunch of rules would be enforced like they should be. Rules being enforced as they should be would hopefully make everything safer for people and also a lot nicer experiences on the websites. Decisions would be made around bases of the internet for the better. I just think that if the internet got governed and regulated the internet would be much nicer.

All About Me

I'm Alexis, my favorite color is Blue and i love music. I also love to play softball, hang out with my friends, watch movies and a lot of other stuff too. I don't really know anything about computers other than stuff like how to type without looking, or knowing how to get to different websites. One thing I look forward to learning in this course is to learn how to use more websites like this or to work the computer in different ways.
