Social networking is websites that you can communicate with other people through, such as Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter. It’s an easier way to interact and get in touch with people you are friends with, family, or people you have not seen in a long time. Digital footprint is a digital footprint is a collection of activities and behaviors recorded when an entity, such as a person, interacts in a digital environment. It may include the recording of activities such as system login and logouts, visits to a web-page, accessed or created files, or emails and chat messages. Social networking affects my digital footprint because once you post something such as a status or picture it’s on the internet forever and you never know who will see it, because pretty much anybody can have the opportunity too.

Copyright
Copyright is the legal rights, given to an originator or assignee to print, publish, film, or to record. Downloading music is simple, but what isn’t are the copyright protection laws that people are breaking everyday by downloading music tracks off the internet. What is illegal is copying unauthorized commercial music. Most sites say that it is legal to download music, but most are misleading. If the site seems too good to be true then most likely it is.

Lil Wayne V.S Rolling Stones copyright case
Lil Wayne sued for stones copyright breach
The music company that owns the Rolling Stones song “Playing with Fire” sued Lil Wayne for releasing an alternate version of the song without permission. They said Lil Wayne's "Playing with Fire" is a clear derivative of the Rolling Stones song with the original lyrics and music altered in a recognizable way. One of the example they used in the suit was a lyric from the Stones song is "But don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire," and the Lil Wayne version has the line, "But you can't blame me if I set this stage on fire." The company also said that Lil Wayne's version uses "explicit, sexist and offensive language" and they didn’t like it because they said it could lead the public to believe the company and the Rolling Stones approved of and authorized the new version. The type of case was about music.

Spain Power Point Project
My Favorite part about my project was my tour stops because I thought they were pretty interesting places to go. My least favorite was the history on it because I couldn’t find that much information on it. What I learned about Spain was that they have running of the bulls in the streets; I always thought it was in a caged arena. My weak point was my sources because I forgot to save them and they did not show up in my presentation. A suggestion on a research project would probably be do a power point on a famous person.

My Year in Review
The hightlight of 2011 was my very first day of highschool. Another hightlight for me was homecoming dance, that was one of my favorites. My low point would be having my Aunt Linda pass away and finding out my Grandma has cancer. I don’t think I would have done anything differently because everything turned out to be good this past year. My goals for 2012 are to get straight A’s and to try new things, oh and too make new friends. If I was given $100,000 to start the new year I would put it away for college.
