Looking To The Future

Everyday I think about what new and cool things will be out next, I always seem to wondering "What if?" I know a lot of these what "if's" are mostly my mind just being crazy but this new project really has me thinking "what if" with technology. 

I have been wondering will they come up with phones that are super slim and small, or are we still going for the super slim but big? And what about the technology in the health care career?







This picture shows what the technology can become in the medical field, people predict that we should be able to take an x-ray with a tablet once technology grows a little more. But what about cell phones? Or even computers?

I believe that one day computers will mostly consist of small devices that are all touch screens, but then what about larger computers? Will they be projectors? If so how exactly will they work? I know there are already little trials of projector keyboards what will they one day proceed to full computer projectors, or just giant clear boards (like white boards) and make them into computers where all you have to do is touch them?? These are the things that I think about.

A little late....

I know I am a little late on this post and am deeply sorry, however I do have a lot to say and it's mostly about our new program. (This is mainly the part-time students that will get what I mean.) I came from the part-time class and I didn't think I would feel like I was thrown into the lions den with this class until now. I was used to doing good work but having two weeks to get through with it. I mean don't get me wrong I am still trying to put amazing work out there but I feel like I could be doing much better work than what I have being putting out.

I know that, possibly, some of the other part-time now full-time students might feel the same way that I do. I try to manage time better, I am trying to get more of my work done in my free time, but when my computer is about to seconds away from being put in the trash it is hard to do.

I know with time it will get easier and I will soon know this coding like it is the back of my hand, but it is taking a little longer to do with the short amount of time I have. Well again I am sorry that this post is a little late, I hope you enjoy reading it.

Getting Easier

This week has been a less confusing time, I have found out that I learned some things in high school that are going to help me through this next week, and that I am not so bad at coding after all. So let me start off with saying, thanks to my high school teacher for making us hand code forms and tables. If it wasn't for that I would be totally lost in this part of class. Also I am super happy that instead of having to hand code everything we get to use Dreamweaver!!!!! I am super happy about this, if you can't tell.

 Moving on to over news, I have no idea what I want to do my next website on, I think its because it just seems boring or it's because I haven't really taken the time to really think about what would be good to do a five page website on.  I guess I really need to jump on that because one, Thursday will be here faster than I want. And two I will need to do a lot of research once  again. Well until next time.

CSS v. ME

I never could have thought that CSS would be as hard as it is being for me. I try to get everything in order and act like I know what I am doing, but honestly I just want to pull out my hair from the stress this is causing me. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I would want to tuck my tail and run from this, but honestly I do. I think it is because there is so much to learn out there about this kind of stuff and even though it is really cool to think about everything I could be able to do in the long run, it still scares me with how much I don't understand.

Now we have this new website that we have to do, it is to inform people about Copyright laws, and these that people don't really understand about copyrights. Anyways, even though this sounds like it should be easy enough to find information to use in your website, it's not. It is also not cool to have to find out how you want to style the information that you do have. Anyways I have to get back to coding before I forget everything I read. Hope you guys have a great one.

Research?!?!?!?!

Hey everyone,

So my last site I am creating for this class is for Abortion...it wasn't something that I wanted to do a whole site on but I am glad that I have started it. I am learning a lot about abortions, like the history, what kinds of abortions, how they do abortions, and why people get them. Now at first I didn't have a view on what stand I wanted to take. I wasn't for or against abortion. And even after my research I still am not for or against it. I don't always believe in abortion but I believe that people can do whatever they feel like it, because it is their own body. However I did have to pick a point of view for my site so, I chose to take the against abortion role. Only because I do not agree with it, after my research I was still not sure if this is what I wanted to do my last website on. But after a long time of thought I chose to stick with it.

In doing this site the research had to be the hardest part. It was non-stop work, I couldn't always find useful information and it took awhile to completely get what I needed. I am still trying to find all the right words that will help people see where I am coming from. I just hope that my site helps people see what problems abortions can cause.

Anyways I just hope that I didn't completely put you to sleep. Well have a good night everyone, I will try to keep you posted on anything else that goes on in the life of Shelby Lynn.

Web Accessibility

Once again I say hello,

I hope everyone has been doing well since I last posted, I have been trying not to rip out all of my hair do to over stressed about these sites. My new site is on Web Accessibility, at first I really had no idea how I could even begin a site on accessibility. After little debate I decide to do a website that touched a little bit of everything when it came to web accessibility. This way I knew everyone could get a little bit of information no matter what they where looking for. Next was trying to find the information and a way to display it that would not be off putting.

I guess I should be getting back to work, this website isn't going to make it's self. Wish me luck.

Creating Stress

Looking at this title you probably won't think that this is about creating web sites, but I am sad to say that it is. The more coding I learn the more stressed out I become. I never thought that coding would make me want to rip every piece of hair out of my head, but it does. For two reasons; one, there is some many different codes that you need to know just to make a website look like someone other than a two year old did it. Two, if you misspell something or even put a dash were there should not be one then everything does not work.

The more I work on this site the more I just want to SCREAM!!!!!! However, I am happy that I am learning new stuff that I will be able to use in the long run. Some of the new things that I didn't know before are; div's, the different codes that can go inside different elements of codes, and of course CSS. Before this class I never in my life touched CSS, and when we first started learning CSS it just looked like a whole bunch of letters, but slowing I am starting to get the hang of it.

Anyways, wish me luck, cause I am truly going to need it.

xoxo,
Shelby
