I found another site for free web pages. It is http://s1.webstarts.com/
I actually added another web page to my list it is http://s1.webstarts.com/MBullard/index.html
This web site is in between Weebly and Google in difficulty. It has a lot of options and potential if you do not get frustrated with all the extras.
I still am not sure which web page will be my permanent portfolio as of yet. Missy

Web Pages
This week I am in confusion. I hope that I am doing things alright. I am having a hard time creating web pages and am attempting to add links to the three web pages to this blog.

The Next 5000 Days of the Internet - Kevin Kelly
In reflection to what Kevin Kelly, had to say in The Next 5000 Days of the Internet Mr. Kelly talked about what has happened since the start of the technological beginning of computers and the Internet. He also talked about what he perceives to happen in the next 5000 days of the Internet or approximately 13.698 years.
When I think about what he said it makes sense that we will become even more dependent on computers and technology. I mean it is replacing things like the library card catalog system and we need to learn how to use computers just to check out a book at the library. Doctor's offices, and Hospitals are converting to Electronic medical health records so you can go any where and have access to your medical records if there is a computer and you have the correct access codes or programs.
They are trying to program computers to help people with injuries to walk again and people that are blind to give them some sort of sight. People are becoming very dependent on wireless telephones and cell phones. There are some people that actually do not know what a party line is. They think that a rotary phone dial is odd or different. I was on the phone the other day with someone and they wanted me to do something and kept talking to me. I think they assumed that I had a portable phone. I had to interrupt them and say if they wanted me to do what they asked me to do that they had to stop talking with me because I cannot do it while on the phone since it was attached to the wall.
Another example is the fact that music was something you had to go to or play an instrument or sing, then there was the music box where the metal strips twanged when the bumps went by them, Then to more complex machines like Victrola. We Then it moved to different types of vinyl records. We cannot forget the radio. Then to the different types of cassettes like 8track, then tape cassettes. Then there was the big rave the Walkman and the outrageous price that went with them. Then came the Cd's which replaced the Vinyl LP's. And the portable CD player replaced the Walkman. And now their are IPod's and Mp3 players which have replaced the portable CD players.
I do not know what the next 5000 days will bring since technology is changing so fast and the big computers and electronics are getting smaller but also holding much more information and able to do so much more than what it could just a few months ago. It is a scary prospect to think that eventually computers will be in control and know every thing we say and or do.

comments regarding the Internet detective tutorial
Hello,
This week we needed to do a tutorial called the Internet detective. The tutorial had a lot informative information. I would have liked to of known this information when I first started school. A lot if it seemed to be a review for me at this point since I had to learn through trial and error, along with many hours on the web.
