Episode 3 Part 5
It's pretty shocking to know that what you did to your computer, what you did online and what you researched on the website is public to other people. That kind of made me uncomfortable because I feel like I'm being watched by everyone while I go online. This really shows us not to show your very personal information, gossip about others and do hurtful things to others online. They will somehow find out that it is you. Be careful Online!!

Episode 3 part 3
I remember 5 years ago when I first came to Canada, I didn't know that there was a search engine called Google and I didn't use Google. I used to use Yahoo everyday and I still do, I think its a very interesting and efficient search engine. However, now I use Google more often and I even set it as one of my home pages. It is very useful and somehow I think it has more information than Yahoo and its more international. By clicking one of the ads on Google, we're actually paying Google in some way. That just surprised me. I really liked the part of the video that shows how people get their ad on Google, it's pretty cool!!
Episode 3 part 2
While watching this video, I was shocked when I saw what happened with the advertizement with the google mail. I don't understand how the computer can read out our messages and then even find related information about that topic for us. That just blew my mind. I think in like 5 years, everyone will own a computer like how most people own a house right now. I think all the businesses are all going to be online in the future and people with the best pay salaries are not going to be lawyers or teachers, they are going to be people who can work really well online.

Livestream
Venessa, Demi and Bennett introduced the class about the new software named livestream today. The software is used to connect people together and for people to share ideas online. It's kind of like skype but with webcam. It comes really handy especially for the fine arts school because people can share music, acts, dance and arts with each other. Imagine we're using this with the other school say like in Kenya or something, that would be extremely wicked!!

Evernote Speech
One Tool That Takes the Place of Many Others. (Comments from a couple Evernote users)
E1---" When you have to create content for a living (here and my day job), you are constantly processing information. I am constantly looking for new approaches to capture the information and ideas during the day. The best tool that I have found so far is the note taking service Evernote."from Christopher, one of the many Evernote users.
R1---" I've tried dozens of programs that do similar things. In the old days, they were called "personal information managers". Many of these tools are specialized, so to handle it all you might use a to-do list (or "Getting Things Done" organizer), Internet bookmark manager, screen-capture utility, document management system, and free-form database.Evernote does all that, and virtually anything else you throw at it ... yet, it doesn't cost you anything until you throw enough stuff into it to pass its generous monthly threshold. For what it is worth, I clipped over 200 items before passing the limit.Use Evernote to save your ideas, things you see, and things you like. Then find them all on any computer or device you use. For free. It's worth a try, you might like it." This is another comment from Evernote users- Dan
Some Evernote Facts
E2---Evernote is one of the most talked about online note taking applications. One special feature here is the drag-and-drop desktop version that allows you to see your notes and clips offline.You can use the Evernote mobile application for your Windows Mobile phone or iphone to capture pictures and record audio to send to your Evernote account. You can also email notes to Evernote using a secret email address
R2---Phil Libin is the CEO of Evernote. Evernote currently has six million users since its release in 2008. But the latest, more updated version has only been online since November.
It has many competitors: Simplenote, Microsoft One Note, Netvibes
The premium version costs 5$ a month or 45$ a year and it offers you 1000 megabytes of usage a month.
E3---The free version offers 60 megabytes a month. This may seem like a large difference but I use evernote for everything and I have the free version. This tasking system is useful for students because you can basically bookmark scholarship and school pages and have them all in one area, instead of having them clog up your favorites. You also create sub-sections and labels, which I love.
How to use Evernote
R3---Evernote allows you to easily capture information in any environment using whatever device or platform you find most convenient, and makes this information accessible and searchable at any time, from anywhere.
E4---1) You capture the things you want to remember using what you already use—your Windows or Mac computer, the web, and your mobile phone.
R4---2) Evernote runs everything through its recognition technology, and then synchronize the information across your devices. You can then organize and tag the notes, if you wish.
E5---3) When you want to find something, just search or filter and there it is just like you remember it. it across your devices. You can then organize and tag the notes, if you wish.
R5---If you use multiple computers (work and home) with multiple operating systems, don’t worry Evernote will sync your notes to all of your devices instantly. No matter which device you're using you can always capture any information and pull it back up. You can use a PC, Mac, and Phone (text, voice, photos).
