90's Child

I wholeheartedly agree with all of your comments from your 90's Kid blog post. This next quote stood out from the rest. Jessica states, "Our cell phones have now become walking computers that inform us when someone is trying to get in contact with us through many social media sites like Facebook." People are always going on Facebook to see what's going on in the virtual world around them instead of actually taking a look at their surroundings. In the 90's we had to use a computer to connect to anybody or anything online. Nowadays we can connect to any website or person any time of day through our smartphone or tablet. I have no complaints with dial-up ever. Dial-up is the driving force that sparked my interest in the online world. Where would society be if dial-up never existed? Most people wouldn't know how to use a computer, and people would actually have to talk with each other through face-to-face interaction. AIM was by far one of the best ways to communicate when the internet was new to us. Social media sites have changed the people chat with each other. Now you can post information whenever you want to instead of waiting for that person to go online so you communicate with them.

Web 2.0

Web 2.0 is definitely headed in the right direction. As Jessica mentioned, Web 2.0 definitely made the world wide web more personal. Web 2.0 served as the gateway for allowing more people to interact with other people online instantly. Sites and programs are constantly adding features where you can make your experience totally unique. It's hard to think where Web 2.0 is heading at this point and time. Without Web 2.0, sites such as social media sites and blogs wouldn't have taken off the way they have in the past era. Who would want to use Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Tumblr if you couldn't post your own content on there? It would be a dry and dull experience for everyone. My first experience with Web 2.0 was with the introduction of Myspace. With Myspace, you could make a custom layout where it would stand out from everybody else's profiles. The only thing that was annoying about Myspace was using the dial-up connection to use the website. If someone had user generated content on their page, it would take forever to load their profile. Without Web 2.0, Myspace wouldn't have been as popular as it was. With that being said, it'll be interesting to see what Web 2.0 will be in the future.

Danger, Will Robinson!

Privacy will always be a major concern regardless of what you're doing.  With social media sites, people can access your information whenever they want. Sure there's privacy settings in place, but what happens if someone hacks into your account? By having direct access to your account, someone can essentially do whatever they want to your account. Social media isn't always like that. If that were the case, less and less people would stop using the services all together. Social media has some positive effects as well. A ton of companies rely on Facebook and Twitter for free advertising. This is a great tool for any company who wants to get their name out there. Jessica mentioned, "... younger generations...are always online or have easy access to the Internet which makes advertising through these sites key." If you know where and how to market your product, there's no way that people won't at least hear about it. Anyone can use social media to benefit them in the future. It's hard to draw the line whether social media has more negative effects than it does positive effects. It ultimately comes down to who you talk to. For the most part, people will say that you can't have one without the other. One thing is for certain though, all aspects of social media is here to stay.

Inspire Me!

This is the only blog post that I felt indifferent about. Jessica mentioned how the videos inspired her. I'm glad that the videos inspired you to make a better video. Some of the videos were good, but none of them inspired me that much. I honestly felt that most of the students had better experience shooting a video than I do. I have zero experience making a short movie. Maybe that's the reason why I feel intimidated when I watch some of the videos with better production values. I do agree with your statement regarding the last self-portrait video. That video was done really well. That video is much clearer than any of the other videos because the creator uses objects to describe himself. Whenever you use objects in a video, it's easier for people to relate with your main point because those objects are familiar. That's a better idea to aim for instead of making an obscure video where you confuse the viewer. All of the videos were different so that made them easier to watch. If all the videos were trying to portray the same thing, it would've been a chore to watch. The videos you chose had very little text because too much text can hinder the experience of any video.

What We  Have Learned to Know And Love

Lauren's title says it all. The internet is something that has become a part of our daily lives for better or for worse. All of us grew up in the 90's, and we know how slow dial-up was. It's amazing to see how far we have come in terms of how the internet affected us. Instead of having internet access in one remote location, you can get online virtually anywhere. This post reminds me of the first time that I had to beg my dad to put internet service on my cellphone. I didn't really need it at the time, but it blew my mind that I was able to connect to the internet wherever I had service. I couldn't imagine my life without internet. I constantly talk to people at work, and it boggles my mind that they don't have internet in their homes. The way we used to do things have drastically changed because of the evolution of the internet. Here are a few things I want to mention; sending and receiving mail, shopping, communicating with others, and compiling research, applying for college and jobs, and even taking classes. Technology has changed all of those previous items and made them more efficient. Instead of waiting for, "You've got mail," you can check multiple email accounts in that same amount of time.

Web 2.what?

Lauren mentioned how Web 2.0 allows you to conference anywhere in the world at any given time. As soon as I read that statement, I instantly thought of this video that I watched a few years ago for one of my classes. I forget the name of the video, but there was a company who would host work meetings through a game called Second Life. Second Life is a game where you can create a three dimensional representation of yourself and interact with others. This company mentioned how convenient it was to have these meetings online because they didn't have to physically leave the house, and they could all attend this meeting at the same time. Without Web 2.0, none of that would be possible at all. Web 2.0 allows people to interact with internet websites and web based applications like never before. If Web 2.0 didn't come into existence, a lot of people wouldn't even know how to use the computer at all.  Long gone are the days where you could a view a static website, and it would never change. Whenever you view a site nowadays, there's some way to interact with it whether it's sharing the site through Facebook or Twitter. Web 2.0 has yet to reach it's full potential.

Social Media? I Don't Even Know Her

Lauren stated, "...social media and social networking we are isolating ourselves from the real world and living real lives outside of the internet." I slowly feel myself heading in this direction because I'm always connected to internet applications whenever I leave the house. I can't leave the house without my cellphone because I feel that it's detrimental to my well-being. I try to think back to the days before technology took over my life, but nothing much has really changed since then. Growing up my mom didn't want me going outside too often so she would pacify me by buying me videogames and action figures. By constantly having those items available, I didn't see the need to go outside. I wonder how my life would've turned out if I went outside....Most of my friends go out quite often, but most of the time I'd rather just spend the day with my girlfriend or be lazy around the house. I can still interact with them through a text message or Facebook. Social media has enabled us to be a part of someone's life without actually physically being there. This can disconnect us from our friends. Social media allows us to be connected 24/7 but are we really connected? Social media is by far one of the most popular concepts to date, and it's not going anywhere anytime soon.

The Self Portrait Effect: "You will regret that cell-phone self-portrait in the bathroom mirror one day.

I agree with your statement regarding "Life is a Ride." That's my favorite video as well. I watched that video first, and I didn't think that the other videos compared to what the author was trying to display. It reminds me of a reflection video because he shows you many aspects of his life before and after the incident. The author didn't let the event ruin his life, but he persevered through the situation. That takes a lot of determination because most people would've thrown in the towel, and gave up on life completely. I don't know why this next comment stood out to me the most. Lauren stated, "I am ready to get started on our own self-portraits and trying to produce something that can be almost (keyword being almost) as good as those videos that we have watched." This statement brings the point home that most of us are thinking. Most of the class is inexperienced when it comes to shooting and producing videos on this type of scale. I only enjoyed two of the videos that we had to watch, and wish they inspired me to make a better end product. The videos you mentioned sold their idea well, and that's all the audience can ask for.

The Battle of Social Media

            YouTube VS Vimeo, who will win this bout? People will always have their preference of which video streaming website they prefer to use. YouTube is more popular, but Vimeo supposedly has the better video player. Both websites allow you have a free account, but there are some notable differences between the two.

            YouTube has the bigger audience because it was one of the first sites of its kind, and people instantly think of YouTube whenever they think of hosting any videos online. A few years ago, YouTube was bought out by Google so now your videos have a greater chance of popping up in the in Google search engine. Through YouTube you can upload an unlimited amount of videos as well.

            Some people will agree that YouTube is the better social media platform, but there are some cons along with YouTube as well. One of the first things you’ll notice is the inclusion of ads on every video. It’s annoying when you have to watch a forced 15 second ad, and then it takes forever to load your requested video. Some people will argue that the YouTube overlay will take away the professional message from your video, but I have to disagree. As far as I know there’s no way to pay for a premium account so you can disable those ads. Keep in mind that you can only post videos that cap at the ten minute mark. The only other con worth mentioning is that you have sift through a ton of garbage content to get to what you want to view. This can sometimes make video searching a chore.

            Vimeo’s success is definitely driven directly by their user base. Vimeo allows the user to put their own logos on their videos so you can have a more professional look to them. The Vimeo interface tries to keep you on the current user page by allowing you to select more videos by that user instead of having related videos that’ll take you away from the current page on your own.

            Just like YouTube, Vimeo has its cons as well. Vimeo has a much smaller community than YouTube so there’s a chance that a number of people won’t ever see your video. Vimeo also caps your video at 250,000 views where YouTube will constantly allow people to view your video. In order to remove all of the Vimeo links from your page, you have to pay $59.95 a year. Even with the Plus account, you still have limits on how much you can upload.

            How do the two sites affect social media? The two video hosting sites allow users to create their own content, and this also allows users to comment and interact with the videos as well. This thought ties into the main aspect of Web 2.0 where people can share and interact with their favorite internet websites. Without the advent of Web 2.0, these two particular sites wouldn’t be as popular as they are now. The sites will continue to push the concept of Web 2.0 into the future because these websites will continue improve their user interface. By constantly improving on the platform that the sites were built, more and more people will be drawn to the site.

            In conclusion, it primarily comes down to preference. I’ve been using YouTube for the past four or five years, and I don’t see myself switching any time soon. I have my account set up along with my favorites, and personal videos. It would take too much time to transfer everything over. For those reasons alone, I’ll continue to use YouTube.

iMovie Woes

           Before this project, I never used the iMovie program. I’m primarily a Windows user so any program on a Mac is foreign to me. I wasn’t comfortable with the program until I finished my project. There were a ton of issues that hindered my experience with the program.

 I have to say that this program is annoying to use. The first thing that upset me is that you can’t just simply drag and drop your videos into the program; you have to manually import them through one of the menu buttons. The functionality of the program isn’t user friendly at all. Another annoyance with the program was that it was that there wasn’t a native way to edit your audio. I had to use another program to cut my song clips so they would fit into my project properly. Again it’s not a major problem, but it was another annoyance that hampered my experience with the program. I don’t know how many groups encountered this following issue. There was a known issue with the software where iMovie wouldn’t save your projects properly. Once you encountered this error, you had to start your project over. I ran into that particular issue, but I didn’t mind it all. I was figuring things out so I wasn’t taking my rough cut too seriously. My group definitely experienced the weirdest issue out of all of the groups. For some odd reason, Lauren’s project randomly disappeared after she made some edits to her video. Lauren worked with our professor, but they weren’t able to find her initial project.

Aside from having issues with the program, I also had a hard time shooting video for this particular project. I know how to use a camera and a camcorder, but I didn’t know what I wanted to focus on. There were so many aspects of my life that I could’ve focused. It was hard to condense my overall message into a one minute and twenty second video. It was also tough for my group to meet outside of class because our schedules are different, and we’re pretty busy outside of class as well. I work a full-time job so my schedule between personal and school life is pretty strict. I have to set a schedule for everything I want to do. If I didn’t do that I would lose my mind in all of the madness.

My favorite part of this project was working with a great team. I worked with Jessica and Lauren. I didn’t know them previously, but I’m glad I ended up working with them. From the beginning of the project, my group wanted to make sure we had everything lined up properly. We exchanged phone numbers, and we constantly contacted each other constantly about our project. My group was always open to new ideas, and they were always there to keep me on the right path. There were times where I wanted to give up on the project, but they were there every step of the way to help me push through this project. I know my overall experience would’ve been different if I didn’t work with those two individuals. During this class so far, we primarily do blog posts and exercises that allow us to work individually. I love that the topic for my group was separation, and we pulled together to make a great end product. This project not only put us into a group where we had to collectively share ideas and work together, but we had to rely on each other to do their own part of the project. If one person slacked off during the project, everyone else would be affected.

This project was the hardest to complete because there were so many instructions that we had to follow. We had to produce a final project that met all of the required criteria. I never worked on a project so much that I couldn’t wait until it was over. I always enjoy a challenge, but this project pushed me to the limit. When I couldn’t get the program to do what I needed to do, I wanted to pull my hair out. The only thing that I’m going to take away from this project is that I never want to use iMovie ever again. There are so many other programs that make the video editing process so much easier.

For the final part of the assignment we have to upload our assignment to YouTube and Vimeo. The two sites are different from one another. Vimeo is more lenient in the sense that you can upload your own personal video with music, and they won’t pull down your video for copyright infringement. YouTube on the other hand is less lenient when it comes to sharing your videos. If you use any songs that you didn’t pay the rights for, YouTube will pull down your video instantly. YouTube is more popular than Vimeo so more people will most likely see your video on YouTube.

By using video as your means of communication, you are able to stress a point better than you would with still photos or with text. Most people nowadays are visual learners so shooting videos just makes more sense. With shooting a video, you can also add music into the mix to instill a certain emotion. With video, you can incorporate text as well. Some people use text to guide their viewers through the video and other people use text to highlight important parts of the video. Communication as a whole is dynamic because it’s always changing. The way we shoot, edit, and publish video is always changing whereas print and photo formats will stay the same for the most part. You can incorporate those two formats into your video, but videos will always be the strongest format because more people can relate to video more than they can with text. With the evolution of social media and web 2.0, we need to see things to believe anything nowadays. Communication will constantly change whether you’re ready or not.

In conclusion, the iMovie project was definitely a learning curve for all participating groups. From this experience we can only go forward from what we have learned. We can also share our experiences with others who haven’t experienced the program for themselves.

In Regards to Facebook....

Facebook has become more than a social networking platform. Facebook is one of the ways that people define themselves, or post things that represent them. As people change, Facebook changes as well. Something is constantly being updated whether the users like it or not. Facebook is completely different from what it initially launched as in 2004.

I have been a longtime user of Facebook, and I'm getting to the point where I'm getting sick of it. I'm sick of all the annoying posts, invites, and random nonsense that go on daily. People need to learn what should and shouldn't post on Facebook because they're not the only one viewing the content. There are privacy settings in place, but most people don't know how to use them or don't even care what goes on their page. We all should pay more attention with the content we post on our page because you never know who will come across your page. I'm always careful about what I put on Facebook because potential employers could be looking at my page. You just don't know anymore. We have to make sure that we are OK with what we post on our page along with our friends' pages as well. The second article conducted a survey to see who was OK with people having access to their profile. More people agreed to only post content that's OK to their family, strangers, and friends rather than post inappropriate content.

I primarily use Facebook to keep in contact with my friends. I always say to myself, "If I had all of their numbers, I wouldn't need a Facebook account." I don't think that's necessarily true because Facebook is a part of most people's lives that it would be hard to give it up so easily. I also use Facebook to stay current with my reward sites because all of the new contest information is posted on Facebook. I enjoy having that accessibility because I know what the current promotions are, and what I have to do to enter the contest. Facebook is a great marketing platform for any company.

Every person has their own reason for using Facebook. Some people use it to spread viruses through shady games or invites. Shady games are games from unknown publishers that you never heard of. By allowing them to access your information, they're able to send out spam content to people on your friend's list. As mentioned earlier, companies use Facebook as a marketing tool. The main reason that marketing on Facebook is great is due to the fact that it's completely free. You don't have to pay for advertising, and you can even promote a business on Facebook. That's what we primarily had to do for our latest project. The other reason that people use Facebook is to stalk people. Stalking is a strong word, but people do it every single day. For instance, let's say you broke up with your girlfriend or boyfriend. Nine times out of ten, you'll constantly check their profile to see what they're or who they're going out with. It's sad really. You would never know if someone is stalking you because there is no official way to see who or when someone is checking your profile.

Our instructor insisted that our class make a separate Facebook because she didn't want to know what we do in our personal lives. That's understandable because our personal profiles had nothing to do with our Facebook project. The posts from our secondary account will be viewed with a critical eye whereas our personal page is up to the viewer to decide what's inappropriate and appropriate. It's nice having a page that's not cluttered with garbage for once. The main issue that we are experiencing with our class is that we constantly locked out of our profiles.

I personally don't feel that my information on Facebook is private. I'm careful about what I put on there because people will always find a way to view the information they want to see. If I'm not OK to share something with my family or friends, I don't even post it on Facebook. Employers can access your account, and even the Police department can access your account. There are criminals who were actually caught because they posted some information that linked them to the crime. Regardless of what settings you have in place, people will find a way to access you.

As of right now, they’re any rules of etiquette in place for Facebook users. There definitely should be though. Here are five rules that should be in place on Facebook. The first rule should be you can't post photos or videos of illegal activities. It's just stupid do anyways, and again you don't know who could potentially view your profile. The next rule should be you can't tag a person in a photo or post if they have nothing to do with it. I have a ton of friends who are posted in some sneaker ad for no apparent reason. I normally detach myself from those photos. The third rule should be that you can't send people invites to every single thing that you do. I'm tired of receiving invites to those Facebook games. If they work for you, that's great. I have multiple gaming consoles so I have no reason to play Farmville or whatever it's called. The fourth rule should be that you can't post malicious links that potentially leading a user to infections. I didn't know that my friend's account was hacked. He posted a link on my account, and I clicked the link. The next tab tried to download something to my computer. I instantly deleted that file. The final rule should be that you can't post nude photos on the Facebook. The Facebook moderators used to crack down on that type of stuff, but nowadays it seems like you can post whatever you want on your page and get away with it. Those are just some of thoughts on how Facebook can improve itself. Stay classy people.

I never had an awkward situation arise from what I posted on Facebook because I'm careful about what I post on Facebook. I see it all of the time though. People cheat on their boyfriend or girlfriend, and they post a photo on their page while they're with the other person. That doesn't make any sense to me at all.

In conclusion, you have to be smart about what you post on Facebook. At any given time, anyone can be viewing your profile. A single post might stop you from getting your dream job.

Necessity of Communication

In order to get the word out about a particular event, you need to send out flyers or create an event on Facebook. By creating the event on Facebook, more and more people will have direct access to the event. You have to make sure that all of your information is correct because we live in a day and age where people will quickly go on Twitter and Facebook to call out your company. Bad press is never a good thing. If you're promoting an event for a new company, you might lose your job because you didn't relay the right information. That wrong information can lead potential clients and customers to go somewhere else. Most people have multiple sources that they'll check for their information, but then you have those people that live and die by what they hear and see on Facebook. Another thing you should have on your any event page is the direct number to the person or group who is hosting the event. People can also call them to inquire about the event as well. Here are some things you have on an event page. The first thing you need to have posted is the time of the event. You have to right location as well. You have to let your audience know how much the tickets are going to be. There are certain events where you pay in advance, and you actually get the tickets for a cheaper price. Those are a few things that you have to consider whenever you think about hosting an event on Facebook. If any changes need to be made, you can do them with a few clicks of your mouse and keyboard.

Self Portrait Discussion

Life Is A Ride


Life is a ride is a self portrait video shot by a previous student. This video stood out the most because it was shot so well. At first I didn't know where he was going with the video, and then I saw the photos the character in the hospital bed. That's when it hit me.

The video is entitled, "life is a ride", because you never know where your life might take you. You may think you have everything planned out, but life can throw you a curve ball at any second. For example, this student used to do tricks on his BMX bike, and now he's paralyzed from the waist down. He even stated through text, that he wouldn't want it any other way. He's not going to give up on life because things are somewhat different and complicated than they once were. Another thing that I want to point out is that he constantly showed pictures of his family and friends. It was a rough time in his life, but he didn't have to experience this event by himself.

I completely understand what the author is trying to convey with this video. My life has been a ride as of late as well. When I'm not in school, I'm working and vice versa. Sometimes it's crazy to think about, but I just keep telling myself I have to moving forward. The finish line is in sight, but I'm definitely not there yet. Life is a ride is definitely the best video out of the bunch.

Color and Black/White


This self portrait video attempts to show the differences between color and black and white images. This video is hard to follow at times because I didn't know the symbolic meaning behind the images that were presented. For instance, there's a shot where the girl is clutching a stick with two butterflies on it. I don't know if that means the author enjoys embracing life or she has a hard time of letting things go.

There are some good aspects of the video though. The contrast between black and white was done pretty well. I think this would have been a better video if she left the color aspect out it the whole thing. There were only a few shots of sky which was shot with color. The video was dominated by black and white imagery. The items and objects she used seemed out of place for this video. I also think she would've made a better lasting impression if she didn't use music at all. With music and text absent, the viewer has to process everything on their own without any sense of direction. It's always a good thing to keep the viewer interested. Her transition from scene to scene was done well. They weren't abrupt and out of place.

After watching the initial video, it's hard to discuss the following videos because I expect all of the other videos to have that same level of fidelity and flow to them. This video is definitely worth a watch though.

Overuse of Text


This student made a video that had too much text in it. I felt like I was reading a book. This video had no sense of direction whatsoever, and the images were just random.

I don't think there's one part of this video that I actually liked. I don't mean to sound so harsh about this video, but I felt there was no point to the video. The student also incorporated this weird song that sounded as if was demonic in one way or another. That reason alone made it hard for me to follow the video. When you overuse text, it takes away any message you're trying to portray with your video. If you text when needed, then it'll be OK. For most people it's hard to watch film, and read text at the same time.

The student also reused some shots over and over. Whenever you reuse shots, they're supposed to symbolic. These shots didn't make sense at all. Now that I think about it, this video almost seemed as if it was a cry for help. The author constantly mentioned how he was alone, and he didn't know where he was going. I don't think I would ever put something like that in a video because I wouldn't want people to judge me. This video goes to show you that one small thing such as a song can change the overall effect of your video. There are better videos posted on the blog, and I would suggest that you don't spend too much time on this one.

My Experience with Wikihow

My experience with Wikihow was challenging to say the least. Initially I thought this project wouldn't be that hard because I was passionate about the subject matter. I think this project was difficult for most people because finding a topic to write about is a tough decision. When you're passionate about something, you can write enough about the subject to meet the set criteria. I decided to write my topic about apps for Android devices. I constantly check out reviews for apps, and I always evaluate if these apps will help me out in the future. My experience with the Android operating system has always been positive so I'm definitely a lifelong fan. I have been using the Android platform for the last three years, and evangelize its features too all of my family and friends. Finding corresponding information for my topic wasn't too hard because I knew all of the information beforehand. Once I had all of my information, I was ready to begin my Wikihow post. We initially wrote our blog posts about our topics, so we had an idea of what we wanted to write. Learning how to code your page properly was one of the most frustrating aspects of the page. Sure you can copy and paste your text from your previous post, but you want to find ways to make your article stand out from the rest of the class. The smallest effects require special coding. For example, if you want to bold or italicize your content, you need a special coding around those words. Everything was going fine until I made it to the final edit. When I made it to the end, I thought my project was ready to be published. I made sure all of my spelling was correct; I made sure I had all of the my corresponding photos with captions, and I almost forgot that I wanted to add a video to my page. This video was only a minute and a half, but it shows the features of the program Superpower. It can be a quite difficult program to understand if you don't know what you're doing. All of the settings are dependent on one another so you have to make sure everything is correct.
The main feature of the site that I feel is completely backwards is attempting to add a video to your page. You would think this would be a simple process, but it wasn't. I couldn't figure out how to use this feature which is normally a simple process, but Wikihow made it so difficult. Other websites allow you copy the link from another website, and the site will embed the video for you. There was no way to upload your own personal video to the website whatsoever. You know it's a difficult system in place when you have to read a Wikihow article in order to try and get the video to work at all. Even after trying to follow the coding guide step by step, it rendered my video useless. I spent the entire class Thursday trying to get my page coded correctly. The thing that made me so upset is that I wasn't able to publish my video, and it was my own personal video. I always take pride in my work, and I wanted to further showcase my knowledge of the subject. The site wouldn't let me do that at all. This should be a feature that the site admins should really look into. I'm pretty sure that I wasn't the only one who had a problem adding their own video to the site. My text was formatted correctly, and my own personal photos showed up just fine. In the end, I posted a statement with my video link attached to it. It just took away form the visual aesthetic I was going for. That's not the only thing that upset me about this website.
I recently logged into the website to see if anybody posted positive feedback or criticism about my article, and to my surprise my article is marked for deletion because it isn't a how to guide. I was highly upset by this because my first heading informed the reader how to access the various app stores, and it also informed the reader how to install the various apps. My article wasn't even posted for a week, and it's already marked for deletion. My experience with this site in particular shows you how critical people truly are. Going forward, I will learn how to deal with criticism because people will never hold their tongue when they type online. Wikihow isn't the only site where people conduct themselves like that. To name a few of sites include; Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. I hated using the Wikihow website with a passion. I hope that I never have to use that website to publish another article again. Using Wikihow to find relevant articles isn't bad at all. I was reading a few of the articles before I started mine so I could see how to get started. The article database is immense because people always continue to add articles. Since there were so many articles on the website already, it was hard finding an article title that didn't share the same title as your article.
My final complaint about this site is that none of the posters are professionals in any particular field. You can have any user posting content that they may not have all of the knowledge about. This can lead to problems because many users will try to use this site as a reputable source, and this can lead into problems. I would never use this site as a reputable source, but if I needed general information about a topic, I would definitely check this site out.
In conclusion, I hope that the rest of my classmates had a better experience with the website than I did. Overall this project would've been better if we didn't have to include the Wikihow article.
