The World is Flat 3.0

In the video The World is Flat 3.0 it surprised me how Thomas Friedman, a regular MIT professor, could come up with the idea of discovering how our world really is a flat, connected space. It was amazing to find out in my childhood that the amazing innovation of the internet was created.
To be exact it was made in 1995 due to the creators of the first internet browser called Netscape, which then flourished into a major fiber optic network that connected the US to Japan, and many other countries as a whole. I do disagree though, only because our world in the US is totally different to how others worlds are in Bejing, or in Bangladesh.
Friedman also showed a good example of globalization over time with the terms world 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0. World 1.0 was from the A.D times to 1420. World 2.0 was from 1420 until the year 2000. And 3.0 was from 2000 to the present. Over time, he spoke how each globalization period brought new technology into our world. Such as the PC.

I believe with the Flat Classroom project, people can better understand what life is like as a student in other countries other than what its like in other states. I believe the project will help show how others in different countries interact with us to be a team in group work and discover how we really are all alike in some way, shape, and form. I only worry if the groups we will work with can cooperate well, and know the same things we know here in America. But in all I think this will overall be a great experience.

My 3 Fav Websites

http://www.weather.com/
http://www.wdmcs.org/
http://www.youtube.com/

1. I love The Weather Channel online because during school in the winter who doesnt love to know ahead of time that a major snowstorm is coming and that we are to get out of school early :). Lol. No really i have an infatuation with weather! I dont really know exactly why but thunderstorms and practically any kind of active weather, im always tuned in.
2. The district website is also one of my favorite websites cause i always stay online to check my grades out and make sure i stay on top of work for school :) that and theres always some update information to stay up with due to being a senior.
3. Youtube by far is the best website due to being able to listen and watch all music and entertainment videos i want to at any time.

Post 1: About Me :)

WHAAADUP! I am Terrin Hicks, I love to listen to music, drive, and hang out with my friends. Im currently a senior at Valley High School, and im enrolled in the best tech class called Digital Communication Tools a.k.a Digi-Tools. Digi tools was created to help students take the advantage to learn more about the newest technology our world has to offer, and the reason behind the blog is to report out and talk about all the products and software we use everyday.

Just to show im actually listening during class, lol, I am whats called a "digital native". A child who was born into the technology we use today. I know I use my phone to text, call, and surf the web, along with my iPod touch to explore my music and media everyday. Im also apart of the Facebook and Twitter community sharing the best aspects of my life that i can.

But the question is how do you show yourself apart of the digital community? Does the technology today help you  with work or slow you down? And what exactly do you use it for?
