Video Thoughts; Sight

The video Sight was very interesting and creepy. The technology is extremely advance and fun but scary. The man in the end controls the girl. I do not think we will advance that far in technology because it is invasive and expensive. The dangers of technology that advanced is exponential and I do not believe people are going to risk it...at least not in this lifetime.

My Website Thoughts

I like how my website is progressing, I have learned many skills in class and look forward to putting them to use for my website. I have found many images to use for my website and I find Dream Weaver fun to use. I can't wait for the end product.

My favorite websites

My favorite three websites are as followed:

 1.) https://www.youtube.com/:  I love Youtube because it's Youtube you have music and videos and it's awesome. I love watching fan videos from different fan bases from books, movies, and t.v shows  and I could be on youtube for hours at a time.

 2.) https://archiveofourown.org/: Archive of our own is a fanfiction website, I love fanfiction .net but that site has seem to be replaced by Archive of our own. There are many added features and is a lot easier to navigate than fanfiction.net      

 3.) http://www.deviantart.com/: This website is a fanart website. It has everything; GIFs, videos, drawn art, painted art, photoshop art, and more. This website has multiple fandoms and it is fun to see how people perceive certain characters, especially book characters. I feel the art brings the book to life. Not to mention there are some amazing artists on that website.


One website I would not recommend would be http://i-hate-walmart.com/. Practically all their links are broken and their arguments don't make sense. I had to analyze this website for class and it was horrible. None of their sources were reliable and there were indistinguishable pictures.
