My Thoughts On Aaron Takahashi's
Home
Page
Aaron's page is very colorful. His background color is black which
makes his page very easy to read. Although his page has animated
icons it did not take long to download. Takahashi's Home page also
had two links that I really liked. The first link was to a page with
color codes for
html. This page was very helpful because it gave me great ideas on
what colors I would be using in the future. The second link on Takahashi's
home page has that I found to be extremely helpful is the link to, "How
do they do that?" This link helped me with the background, color, title
and other ideas that I may want to use for the creating of my home pages.
Selecting
Aaron Takahashi's Page
Choosing
Aaron Takahashi's Page was not a difficult choice for me. I started
by turning on the power of my computer. The next thing I did was
to get logged on to the Web via my internet server which is Gte.Net.
After getting logged to the Web, I went to Dr.
Leon James's literacy page. This is the page where generation 10, psychology
409b and 459 gets all their homework assignments from. From here I clicked
on to the Part
10 link, and from there I chose to Go
to all prior generations. I then chose generation
4a and browsed through all the different pages because I wanted to
see how one of the original generations did there home page. It is from
there that I chose Takahashi's Home page. I choose his page because
I had a previous class with him and I wanted to see how he did his.

About
Takahashi's Report
Takahashi's
report talks about cyber psychology. In his report,
"My Reaction To Cyberspace", Takahashi tells about his first encounters
with the Internet. He explains that he was cyber illiterate and did not
know what was going on in cyber space. After browsing the Web and participating
in cyber space he realized that this was a good idea and that the Internet
had lots of uses. Takahashi goes on by saying how the internet could be
used by the department of education. He says that teachers can put
up their tests on the web and that their students can all log on to the
web and take their tests. Although this sounds like a good idea,
me being an education major, I do not agree with him on this because there
are too many third variables that can come into play using this type of
system. Also, who's to say that the students aren't cheating.
Once again too many third variables.
Takahashi says that being in Dr. James' class is like being in a class
that will never die. He says that Dr. James can continuously interact with
everyone in the class and while the students learn from him he can also
learn from his students.

My Reaction
With Aaron
Takahashi
My reaction with Takahashi was around 85%. I agree with most of the things
and concepts that he brought up with the exception of students taking their
exam on the Web. Although it is extremely interesting to me that
we can now get a lot of our homework off of the web. This is can be a convenience
for both the students and the teachers, but it can also be a negative thing
because students will no longer feel the need to go to class because there
are alternative ways of getting the notes. This I feel will take
away from one's educational experience. I found that there is a lot
to be learned from the previous generation's work. I also found that
it was interesting to see how the pages changed throughout the generations.

Fred Yuen's Report is about Safety

Selecting
Fred
Yuen's Report
I chose Fred's report of the topic of his report. His Report
was on a very interesting topic and I wanted to learn more about it.
I also choose it because it was written very good and it caught my eyes.
Fred's report has given me an idea on how to do my reports for this class
and made me more interested in traffic psychology.

About
Fred's Report
Fred's report starts out with a really great table of contents. It
made it really easy for me to see what his report was about and what it
contained. His report then goes on to discuss different aspects of
safety activism on the information highway. His report includes information
on motor issues and the art of driving. He also talks about programs
like Teenvue, PAST, MADD, VETA and the NHTSA-National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration.

My Reaction
with Fred's
Report
Like Fred I am very interested in making our roads a safer place to drive.
This I feel can be accomplished if people are informed of the issues and
if people learn how to drive in under less than acceptable situations.
By this I mean if people learn how to drive while intoxicated, stoned,
angry, sad or whatever the occasion may be. By learning these skills
I feel that we will be on the right path to making our roads a safer, stress
free place to drive. Fred did a really great report. His wordings
are really well thought out and phrased. I liked the color schemes
that he used throughout his web pages. Overall I feel that Fred did
a great job.

My
Impressions on Brandi Ashby
Brandi's
report caught my eye the minute I started to read the report.
She had so many links and her report was so organized that it made it so
easy to follow and understand. In her report she compares different
types of television programs with one another. She tells her feelings
about the effect of television on the way people are influenced when they
drive.

Selecting
Brandi's
report
Selecting Brandi's
report was an easy choice for me. I found her topic to be very
interesting and relevant in today's world. I also liked the way that
her report layout looked. Her table of contents was very well thought
out and organized..
Although deciding which reports I wanted to use was difficult choosing
Brandi's was an easy choice. Getting to her report
was difficult at all. I did the same as the last two reports and
found myself at the "all
prior generation's page". From here I chose the G7
Home Page. After looking through the names of people on their home
page I saw Brandi's and remembered hearing her name before so I decided
to take a look at it. It was one of the best that I have seen so
I decided to stay with Brandi's
home page.

About
Brandi's Report
Brandi's Report talks about the relationship between outside influences
and the way that we drive. Here she discusses the importance of her
study. She points out that people do copy the way characters drive on television
and she feels television might be sending out the wrong messages.
In this report she not only points out the way people drive on television
but she also rates the shows she critiques. She starts of with critiquing
a couple of movies. The movies consist of "Jerry
Maguire",
"The Peacemaker", "Thelma
and Louis", and "My
Best Friends Wedding.
Along with movies she critiques commercials
, and Music
videos.
At the end
of the report she claims that she did learn something out of writing the
report. She say's she will be allot more aware when she drives and not
let the television influence her.

My Reaction
With Brandi's
Report
When I first saw Brandi's report i new there was some relevance to my life.
I do not speed very often but I am affected when someone other than I is
driving recklessly. I too, do feel that outer influences do somewhat cause
some drivers to drive the way they do. Being that television is thought
to play one of the more important roles in peoples life than television
must influence driving all around the world. I am really impressed
with the amount of research that Brandi put into her report. It is
all well thought out and planned. This was one of the best that I
have seen so far.

My thoughts
on Mike's
report
Mike's
Report Is one of those reports that caught my attention right away.
The reason that this is so is because of the title of his report, From
the Infamous Bird to the Courteous Smile. This title gave me a feeling
that he had a lot to say about the topic and it made me more interested
in it myself.

Selecting
Mike's
report
Selecting Mike's
report was exactly the same as selecting the previous three reports.
Since I explained how to get there in the previous three reports , here's
a quick look at the path: Dr.
Leon James's literacy page, Part
10, Go
to all prior generations,
Generation 8 (Traffic Psychology), and at last I clicked on Mike
Silva's.

About
Mike's Report
The first thing that I noticed was his title and his rather long table
of contents. This to me showed that he put a lot of time and effort
into his report. In the beginning of his report he goes and summarizes
four different people's reports from prior generations. He gives
a summary of their report then gives his reaction to what they say.
He also goes and gets articles from the web to discuss. This I really
liked because there was a really great article about an act of kindness
which made me feel good to be alive. He then goes into some other
students reports and finally into the textbook and class discussions on
this topic. I have to say that Mike's report was very well done.
It was really easy to read and to follow. I liked the way he his
report flowed.
Before reading Mike's
Report I was already interested in the subject. But, after reading
his report it made me so interested that I have decided to do this report
topic as one of my reports. Mike seems to really have a knack for
doing these reports because I went and read his other reports and they
were all excellently done. Just by looking at his work I can see
that Mike put in a lot of time and effort into his web pages and this shows
that hard work yields positive results.

Comparisons
of My 4 Favorite Generational Reports
|
Takahashi's
report was a little different than the rest of the Generation
4, Cyber Psychology Class. His report spoke mostly of his feelings
and that is what caught my attention.
Fred's
report was also different from the rest of the
generation 8, Cyber Psychology 409a Class. His report was well organized.
He shows his exercises step by step, and there is nothing left out.
Brandi
Ashby's report was allot more organized than the rest of the G7,
Traffic psychology class. She , like Fred, goes through her report
step by step. I feel she had a lot of information and a lot of links to
go with her page.
Last but
surely not the least is the report of
Mike Silva. His structure is extremely organized and the sear length
of his report makes his report outstandingly beautiful. The information,
compared to the rest of his class, is a lot more informative and I like
the way he stays objective while still adding a hint of himself.

My Opinions
on my classmates pages
|
In
comparison to my classmates reports I would have to say that mines looks
pretty good. Some of my classmates pages have a lot of time and effort
put into them. Some are more creative than mine and some are just
flat out better than mine. However, I feel that I did the best job
that I possibly could do with the knowledge that I have.
You

My Suggestions
for Future Generations
|
Computers are crazy at first and it might seem a little overwhelming.
Stick to it and everything will become either fun or challenging.
Remember that computers are not only for work. Also if you know what
you are doing don't be afraid to offer assistance to others because maybe
next time it will be you who are dazed and confused.
