i truley really enjoyed this class. i looked foward to soming here everyday. i love the concept of afull on hand computer class and always really enjoyed being on a computer and its really made me realize how much easier life is while your on a computer. the teacher too is very interactive with the sudents and has a very good structered lesson plan. I also really enjoyed being able to read up on the news every day before class offically started and kept me up to date with the news and really gave me an appreciation for online news reports.

The movie broken glass was in my mind a very mentally stimulating movie. there were quite a few plot twists and mixed emotions towards a lot of the characters. All the twists and mixed emotions really made this movie pop out to me and really got me into the movie amd was very interesting and easy to follow. i would personally recomend this to someone that i know likes these tpes of movies. i also feel that everyone can relate to steven glass. i think that we all have lied at some point in there lives to gain a little more fame or glorey. but in stevens situation he was called out and even got fired for what he did. but all in all a very good and interisting movie.

teens driving distracted

            Teens everywhere are driving distracted and reckless more frequently then you probably know. Teens being male and female seem to be in so much of a rush and hurry they think that text talking on the phone and speed is appropriate in certain situations. 49 percent of teens said they have typed or sent a text message while driving and 82 percent said they have talked on their cell phone. Nearly half, 48 percent, of girls admit they are likely to speed more than 10 miles per hour over the limit, and now 16 percent of all of teen girl drivers admit to being aggressive on the road. In comparison, 19 percent of teen boys admitted to exceeding the speed limits and 13 percent of boys described their driving as aggressive. Those are pretty large percents and means that it’s pretty likely for you to encounter a distracted, aggressive teen driver.

            When a couple of teens were surveyed they stated they both responded

 “Yes I text and drive but I only do while I’m at a stop light unless it’s important.” They were also asked if they ever talked on the phone and drive one responded.

“yes I do so way more than texting, I answer my phone all the time.” The other responded by saying. “I always ignore calls while I’m driving.” This is a positive change from all the negative driving habits projected onto teen drivers. Another question asked was do you ever speed? One responded.

“yes I speed all the time but I only do by 5 over most the time and sometimes 10 over if it’s a street that’s not patrolled.” The other teen said “yes I do, but only when im late to something important.”

Now this all seems like really bad driving habits and that teens are the worst out there but just think about how many people you see pass you on the free way that aren’t teens when you’re already going the speed limit. It seems to be a common trend universally. These teens were also asked how often they noticed distracted drivers they both responded similar.

“Very often, whether its texting, smoking in general or messing with ipods, I see it all the time.”  And its not only teens that are distracted but adults seem to be doing it too. They were also asked to describe the weirdest distraction they have seen and they responded as such.

“Rolling cigarettes is probably the oddest I have seen to date.” The other teen said “putting make on in the mirror while driving on the free way is the  weirdest I have seen.” And believe it or not these weren’t teen drivers either.

There is still no doubt the numbers are there to support the speculation that teen drivers are not the safest drivers or the least distracted but at the same time adults are still driving distracted as well and should be focused on as well as teens. So in the long run its not just the teens we need to look out for but as well with the adults.

Safe driving.
