• What university or college do you want to attend once you graduate from high school?

I am not really sure yet on which college I would like to attend, however I do have various options I am interested in: UCLA, USC, UT Austin, Boston University, or New York University

• Why? (Write at least four sentences.)

I like these following schools because they not only have good programs in what I would like to study but they are good schools in general. I also like the locations which is a plus. I still need to look more into all of them to see if they really do fit to my future amd career choice. I might go to some of the college tours.

• Where is this school located?
• California, Austin Texas, New York, Boston
• Explain why a college degree would be important to your future.
• A college degree would be important to my future because it would help me get a better job and help to survive in general by providing for myself and my family all the nessecary needs for living.
• Embed a video that somehow involves the college of your choice.
• Include at least 3 pictures.
• Make sure you write a caption for each picture that is a complete sentence.

DON'T THINK JUST DO!

This is not a typical blog were you find fashion pictures and cooking recipes, or how to get through your daily routines. It is actually quite the opposite, I guess you could call it the craziest of the craziest!

Everyone has fears it just depends on who is willing to overcome them and who is not. Instead of laying in bed watching tv, why don't you go do something crazy! Forget all about your fears and discomforts, go all out, after all we only live once!

If you are having trouble with things to put on your bucket list here are some ideas. It can't get more insane than this.

Volcano Boarding

Snow boarding is old school, why not try it off the side of a live volcano in Cerro Negro, Nicaragua?  WARNING: it might be best to save this one for last on your bucket list…just in case.

Jet Pack Flight

Flying on a plane isn't the only type of air travel these days. Recently Yves Rossy, otherwise known as Fusionman, flew across the English Channel with nothing but a jet pack.

Waterfall Kayaking

There’s not really much to explain here. You need a kayak…and a waterfall, its your choice on how high you wish to drop.

Experience Weightlessness

Although it will cost you a couple grand, Zero Gravity Corporation can provide you with the opportunity to experience zero gravity and that to me seems like its worth the money.

Fly a Fighter Jet

Okay, so chances are that you aren’t actually legally certified to fly a fighter jet, but there are several agencies out there that will let you enjoy the ride from the copilot’s seat.

 

Base Jumping

No matter how many things you try to cram into your bucket list, without the most dangerous recreational activity in the world, it remains incomplete.I mean, what can get crazier than jumping of a cliff with nothing but a wing suit!

Ride Insanity

This one is for the roller coaster fanatics. It basically describes the ride in the name itself, so there isn't much to say other than that it hovers 270 feet over Las Vegas, Nevada and costs only 12 dollars.

Go Zapcat Powerboating

 If anything was built purely for speed, and therefore thrills, it's these inflatable catamaran hulls decked out with powerful racing engines.

Ride around the Nurburgring, Germany

BMW “Ring Taxis” are available from April to October, during which you can be driven around a race track in a BMW M3  by a professional driver.

Have a Dinner In the Sky

What's better than having dinner with the family? Why not have one in the sky.

 Hopefully at least one of these INSANE things has made it to your new and even CRAZIER bucket list.

Just to inspire you even more here is a song.

http://list25.com/25-craziest-things-to-do-before-you-die/

1. Go to http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/new-fantasyland/ and look around it a little bit. Now go to http://www.byteland.org/angeloflife. Now why do you think the .com website is more exciting than the .org website? 
I think that usually people think of educational things when they hear .org, for example most school websites use .org. When you are looking for an interesting website you don't normally choose .org unless it is for informative purpose. Also most worldwide and popular websites are known to use .com. (facebook, youtube, pinterest, etc.)
2. Why do you think the Disney website has more hyperlinks, advertisements, and other distracting options to click on?
I think it is because most people usually know about Disney and rely on their websites to entertain their kids or find vacation ideas. So it is a very often visited website. That is why most people would want to advertise on that website since a lot of people know about it.

3. If you had to construct/create your own webpage from the beginning, what would you want it to be about and why?
I would like to make it about traveling and where go. It would also include tips and facts about the place. It would help book flights and hotels and even tell you do's and don'ts on what to do there.

4. How many programmers do you think would have to work with you to make your website possible? Would it seem impossible to construct/create a webpage by yourself? Why? 
Maybe 3 or 4 I am guessing. It would be possible to create a website by myself but it would not turn out as good as if I would have done it with someone else. It would be easier to have different people who know about specific topics about the websites.


5. What would you want to name your website? Type that name into the web-address bar, is it taken already?
ontothenext.com No it is not taken already.


6. Explain why webpages with flash videos, images, and color take longer to load than pages with only text?
I think they take longer since they have more information and it takes more power to load. It is more numbers than usual that the computer has to process. So it causes it to take a while.

1. What problems does the article mention that children run into when they use search engines?
It mentions that children often have trouble finding the correct things on search engines, specifically google. They have trouble finding the correct key words to use for specific topics.

2. What suggestions have been offered for how search engines can improve their product to lessen children’s problems searching?
They are making the search of results more kid friendly. Instead of searching the specific word or sentence. The alternative would be to show any type of image or video in which they would just click on. Then that would lead them to what they want to search.

3. Do you search using keywords or questions? How does the article characterize these two types of searching? Most of the time I do search using keywords but other times I just type what I feel will specify the results. The article specifies these two types of searching by explaining the differences between them.

4. Have you tried using images or videos to search? How does the article characterize this type of searching? I have since I am better with learning visually than listening. The article characterizes it as an easier way of searching and more user friendly.

5. What advice would you give to Internet search engine developers (like Google or Bing) for how they should improve their product? Do you think any of the improvements mentioned in the article are particularly promising? Why? They should try and leave out Wikipedia as much as they can because it is becoming one of their main sources. I think they might be slightly confusing at times even for younger users because maybe some of them would be better off with key words.

1. Do you think the results are 100% accurate? Why or why not?

Well I believe they are accurate since most of my questions were opinions and and therefore they required opinionated answer/ Actually there really is no accurate or unaccurate in this situation since everyone answered honestly to their opinions.

2. How much of an impact do you think the wording of the questions has on the answers you recieved?

It has a great impact on the questions.Sometimes even the shortest words can completely change the meaning of something. It can also sometimes even mess up the whole sentence, just because of just one word

3. Did you get the results you expected from your online polls? Why?

Some of the were pretty unexpected. Although most of them were exactly what I expected would be chosen. Most answers that were chosen are normally known to be more popular than the other options I put.

4.If you wanted to do an online poll with the students of Technologico de Montorrey asking them how much time and effort they spent doing homework this year, what are the steps you would take to complete that online poll?

First of all I would ask questions separated into all classes and then add one final question asking them to average them out. This would help organize and make it easier to find out how much time.

5.Do you think online polling could help the administration of Tec de Monterrey find out more about their students? Or do you think that the results would not be accurate? Why or why not? Yes, I think that it would help since it helps 

6. How do you think the results of your polls would be different if you asked your classmates the questions in person? I think I would be able to understand their opinions better.

7.In what ways do you think online polling using Google Spreadsheets can be improved? Or was it easier to create an online poll than you originally thought? Explain. It was easier. I thought you would have to do a lot more work. They look harder than they really are.
