Class Presentation

When we were preparing for our group project we first had to decided on a book to read and present. We decided on Burn Rate. We evenly divided the chapters for everyone I the group. I was stuck with the last few chapters, which didn’t help me understand the book much.. in fact at all. When we undated Professor Fry on our status of the group project he suggested that we should inform everyone about their parts in the reading and explain from beginning to finish. We decided to e-mail Scott our notes we took from each chapter and he summarized the book with our notes. Thanks Scott! Now that we all have a better understanding of the plot, we now have a draft to go off of and we feel more confident about our presentations. This Monday were planning to get together and practice our presentation and hopefully understand the entire book! Our overall presentation will involve a power point with clear information to share to the class.

Traveling in the Virtual World

After discussing in class how people travel in a virtual world I thought it was quite interesting. People (gamers) who travel to different states just to meet up with a group of other gamers to play computer games against one another is a bit funny. Is that really considered fun? Come to think of it, I feel like my boyfriend and his roommates would do that.. embarrassing ( :

First off, I don’t think I’d ever travel in a virtual world just because it isn’t my style. But if I had to I’d probably meet a group of people somewhere in Cabo to learn about facebook and the works behind it. I think its so fascinating how they’ve came up with a communication online that is personal and your own. I think it would be an interesting experience and it would open my horizons. Can I even consider that a trip in the virtual world? I hope so because that’s the only place I’m willing to go! Haha ( :

I think this website is a great way for people in the Tacoma community to communicate with one another and share there thoughts. Its amazing what the internet can do!

Financing Online

We have embraced the idea of financing online for many reasons. Financing online has not only made the business society evolve into a world that no one could have predicted, it has made everyday actions easier then imaginable. In today’s world, you can find anything you need online, ranging from a doll hand made in china, to eggs from the local grocery store down the street. This is all made possible through online dealings and financing online. Not only can you shop online, internet banking has become possible so anywhere you go you can check your bank account and get a current statement of how much you can spend and not go over. Financing online is not only reliable, it’s quick, easy, and safe as well. You can have anything delivered right to your door just by sitting down and going online.

We have also embraced financing online because in addition to being able to shop online, or order things directly to our door, online financing can bring entertainment into your house that was previously unavailable. For example, many games can only be played by internet access and online payments, as well as internet gambling which many people participate around the world.
