We eat social media for breakfast

       We use the internet usually every day from the morning to the night. It's part of our lives now. A lot of people use it just to keep up with others. People can do all sorts of different things like finding a job or searching how to do things on YouTube Is the internet a good thing though ?
     First thing is how we use the internet. People are always using the internet for school, work, or just for social media, but others use it for bad things. For example, the Dark web. On there, people can do anything they want and buy anything.
     Second, when we use it. People find it addictive. So many people in class are always on their phone's just on social media or finishing up work from other classes. Like in my 2nd, we have to put our phones in some pockets on the walls, yet no one does it. Some teachers just don't care anymore because they know they'll fail the class.
     Lastly, how useful it is. The internet is useful because it's fast. Say you want to search up a word, people would rather use google instead of using a dictionary. We choose the internet over books anytime. We can learn how to do different things like starting brands, starting music, and other things.
       At the end of the day, we will always be using the internet. Some people may not have it at home but there's still school. Wether you use it for games, school, work, etc. the internet will always help and entertain us.

The digital divide

I believe technology isn't holding me back, and it'll help me with opening up an online store. I don't think anything I do is private or secure. I think people see me online just like I am in person.

Fahrenheit 451 Essay

        Ray Bradbury made an amazing book called Fahrenheit 451. Bradbury's book was about a man, Montag, who was a "fireman" who started fires instead of setting them off. He burnt books and he's always enjoyed doing it. As the story ascends, Montag changes entirely.  He goes from hating them to loving them, and all that happened because of Clarisse.
        Clarisse was different from anyone else in the book, she was curious. In the book, she's always asked questions and had full on conversations. As we can see, Mildred is nothing like that. Mildred only wants to watch her clothes or end her life. Ray Bradbury didn't have her in the book for long, but she impacted Montag. She made him open his mind and made him realize how important books were. There's a nothing person who was different, that's Beatty.
       Beatty was different from everyone else, since he's older, he knows how things were when books were around. I kinda feel like he didn't play such a big role, but I'm sure he was suspicious of Montag. He somehow knew Montag was curious of books, which is why he visited him when Montag wanted to call in sick. I think Bradbury did this to show how people you're around aren't always the best, like how Beatty wanted to get the hound on Montag.
        Both characters played a role, Clarisse was an inspiration and Beatty was like the bad guy. Both knew about books and how they changed things, but they each went a different path about showing it, Clarisse expressed herself and Beatty wanted them gone. I feel like Montag looked up to both at the beginning but his views were different after the bombing.
