Frighteningly Human Robot

At a department store in Tokoyo, an extremely life like robot has been revealed.

Her skin, hair, and other features make her look extremely human-like.  She will soon be able to speak several languages.

My Spring Break

Over spring break I went to Philadelphia for an overnight volleyball tournament. The tournament was three days long and my team took first place in our bracket.While in at the tournament I met a girl who I will be attending college with next year. In addition to meeting a future peer, I also met the volleyball coach of my college. For the rest of spring break I had softball every day. I either had practice in the morning or a game in the afternoon.

On Saturday, April 11th I visited the college I will be attending in the fall, which is SUNY Cortland. I visited for the accepted students day. While I was there I took a tour of each resident hall to help decide where I would like to dorm in the fall. Additionally, I met my roommate and her sister. Now I know where I am going to dorm and have friends to start off with in August. 

What Does Social Media Say About You (Reflection)

I agree that who you are online should be representative of who you are as a person. If you get people involved with what you post in a positive way, that can help you  in several instances. Fore example if you are looking to start a business, online interaction is important. Although your accounts may be private, you do not know who can see them and for that reason, one should be aware of the repercussions of what they post. Cursing online is an extremely negative action taken on social media because it serves an an indicator to the kid of person that you are. One should use social media for good such as advertisements, employment, or to stay connected with friends and not for something negative such as bullying. Being active in the online and social media community is an important aspect of today's world. Although important, one must be careful of how they are presented online because those who do no personally know you, with make a decision of who you are based on how you are presented online or through social media which, in negatively presented, can greatly effected many aspects of one's life.
