When podcasts were created

Podcasts were made in 2004 by two men named Adam Curry, and Dave Winer.

Adam created a program called iPodder that enabled him to automatically download Internet radio broadcasts to his iPod.

Right now you do not need a license to do a Podcast. Anyone can podcast if they want to.

 “By podcasting consistently on one subject, podcasters not only assert their expertise on the subject matter but also draw a loyal and devoted group of listeners”

Are smartphones killing the art of face-to-face conversation? We ask the experts

In the article “Are smartphones killing the art of face-to-face conversation? We ask the experts” it talks about how in some ways smart phones are killing communication face to face. It states that in some aspects of communication smart phones ruin the tone of body language or facial expressions when showing emotions. This is caused because in texts you can’t show body language besides using emojis and even those don’t really give the full meaning of what someone is talking about. It also talks about that “29 percent of Americans chose text as their preferred method of conversing with others, compared to 40 percent of millennials” this could be bad because if people are just always texting and never talking to someone face to face it can ruin the purpose of communication in the real world.

Cloud Computing

But cloud computing can be dangerous because hackers can get into the cloud and look at your personal things. If they do get in its essentially a gold mine for them, and millions of peoples data could be shared around the world. But it is very rare, and does not happen very often.

“Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data storage and computing power, without direct active management by the user. The term is generally used to describe data centers available to many users over the Internet”

Article on how to determine if a website is fake or not.

It is very important to know if the website, or article you are reading is fake or not. Some ways that it can affect what you think is true and what you think is false is it can say something that can be false and make you think it is true by making the website look legit. Another thing it can affect is how accurate your facts would be if you were trying to explain the subject to someone. This can cause other people to think that the same article you thought was true, that it is also true. That can cause lots of fake news to be spread about the subject you read about.

Some ways to prevent these things from happening are to always check your sources when reading about a specific subject. It’s good to be re assured that what you are reading is true or not. Another way that can help you determine if an article is facts or not is to see the person who published the articles reviews. If the person has bad reviews that most likely means that they talk about a lot of fake topics.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
