Ergonomics

Ergonomics is the study of how the human body uses a workspace and it's equipment. Same bad habits of mine are having bad posture and resting my wrists. Our work stations in the Technology Room are not ergonomically sound. Our chairs do not support our backs, which decreases the comfort of the spine. Our chairs do not have arm rests that are adjustable. People should sit strait because they will have back pains if they slouch while on the computer. We also do not have sliding boards under the desks to set our arms on causing pain in the elbows and wrists. Because our chairs are not adjustable, some people's feet do not touch the ground as they should. Your eyes need to be aligned with the top of the computer monitor. Our eyes do not line up with the top of the computer monitor because we do not have adjustable chairs. These positions are extremely essential to your body comfort and you should always keep the rules of ergonomics in your works space at all times.

Google Map Image Blurs



This Picture From


   I do believe that in most inappropriate situations blurring images is a necessity.  Although in some situations the need of blurring images is not relevant, such as on the Google Maps website. Many images that Google Maps blurs are historic places and streets in foreign countries. I believe that it is not necessary to blur these places because the United States has pictures of all of these places. Another reason I am against blurring images of historic places on Google Maps is because the owners of Google do not conference with United States citizens for permission to place the owner's house on the Internet for all eyes to view. Google Maps does check with the government for permission to place their historic landmarks on the Internet. Why do United State's citizens not get any say in the matter of their home being put on the Internet for anyone to see if they have a connection to the Internet or a computer? Many people do not have a problem with this small issue until they have come to a deep thought about it or they are in a predicament about the said website with their child being in danger of someone who found them on Google Maps. Images being blurred/unblurred are a great factor in our society and people should be more careful on what is going on the Internet.

Computer Class

In quarter 3 i was in computer class. One thing i liked about this class was the excel project that we had to fill in the cells and find a picture. One thing i learned in this class was how to make a maze, how to fill in cells, and how to make my projects on Word alot more fun. One thing i wish i could've changed was the second part of the excel project where we had to type directions so that the picture they made looked like ours. I didnt like that project that much because when i typed mine and someone remade the picture by following the directions it didnt look the same. I also liked that i got all my work done and how we were able to listen to music, and how Mrs. Mickley came and talk to us about our future.

This photo make me feel confused. The picture was obviously photo shopped because the Eiffel Tower does not look like that. The Eiffel Tower is in Paris, France. It is one of the very many monuments that is visited in France. Over 7 million people visit this beautiful monument each year. While they were building the Eiffel Tower only one person died! The Eiffel Tower was named after the person who came up with the idea of making it. One day i would like to visit the Eiffel Tower and learn more about it. :)

Lightning Bug

Lightning bugs are amazing! They look like little specks of light in the night sky. Have you ever had one land on you? It tickles! When they Land on you they walk all over your hand and it tickles becuase they are not to heavy and not to light! So when you see a lightning bug what do you do? Do you chase after it? Or do you watch it fly and try to keep your eye on where it goes? When i see a lightning bug i sometimes try to catch it. Other times i just let it fly. Some people take off their lights and stick it on the back of their hands... I think that is just plan NASTY! The lightning bug is one of the very few bugs i can handle.
