Welcome Post

Hello Bloggers. Welcome to my blog! There are many things I like and dislike, and you will see on this post. Some of my favorite things are cats, books, learning new things, and cheering. My favorite TV show is Pretty Little Liars, and my favorite book is Just Listen. Some things that I strongly dislike are vegetables, rude people, and soda. The classes I am taking this year are Algebra 2, English 2, US History 1, Chemistry, Spanish III, and Web 2.0. I am very excited for this class because I really like to learn about new things, especially when it involves computers.

Why is Technology Bad For You?

Technology may seem like heaven, but really, it isn't all it seems to be. Technology distracts us from the test if the world, and makes us depend on it for almost everything. What if all the technology in the world went out? We wouldn't know what to do. That is why we should use less technology and more dependent things.

   Many people have an Instagram, and many people have a Facebook. But is Instagram's new web page starting to look a little too much like Facebook's? Many people think so.The only differnce is the tiny ifferent looks of the two, and how you can't play games or text your friends. Some people think this is going too far, and some really don't care. In my opinion, I  find the new instagram layout very confusing and looking too much like the Facebook one.
