A Silicon Valley School That Doesn’t Compute

In the article A Silicon Valley School That Doesn’t Compute , it states how this one school can teach in this century by using no technology at all. It goes on to say how this one school in silicon valley, the Waldorf School, is a private school who teaches theres kid everything without technology, with an exception of a couple of movies, and is fine without it. Its not like they cant afford it, because they charge $17,750 from K-8, and 9-12 is $24,000. This is also very ironic, because many of the people that send there children here are workers for Google, Apple, HP, Yahoo, and so many more. They say their kids do not need technology until they are older and they can figure it out themselves. One man says "The idea that an app on an iPad can better teach my kids to read or do arithmetic, that’s ridiculous.” I disagree, and think they can help you.

Using Social Media the Wrong Way

I completely agree with the article i read. I agree with it because it proves many good facts about how people misuse facebook, twitter, flickr, and even email. The number one thing that happens is SPAM. Everyone hates it, and theres no way to get around it, its everywhere. For example on facebook you always get these links to win a free ipad, but obviously its fake. You can get from 0 to 25 spam posts a month, and esp. on facebook, it clogs up your news feed. Many people also get junk/spam emails. You can delete those, they're just annoying. Luckily theres a folder to block them out, but sometimes, something you need goes to that folder and you delete everything. I haven't seen twitter being misused.....yet. Hopefully our social media will clear up and spam will be deleted.

many people may agree with google and facebook about the filtering of the internet. I don't agree, i hate this. When you search things and it goes to my old search I get frustrated because i didn't search that, I searched this. What if one day you called your friend and said, "hey search Apple on google and click the 3rd link" but when your friend does it, he gets a whole different website. I know some people might say tell him the website, but thats what google is for searching something you want or need, and its growing out of that to things you've searched. Maybe someday ill like this part of google or facebook plus more, but for now its so annoying.
