Blog Freewriting

I thought it was very interesting that Julie started blogging about her life including her Journey with cooking all the recipes from Julia Child's cook book. It was very cool that it ended up becoming a book, and then a movie. I think how it's terrible how people get fired over things that they post that shouldn't be discriminated against. I believe that freedom of speech should include published things like posts on blogger. I feel it is import to have this freedom of speech. I believe if we don't have this kind of freedom of speech, our government will end up like China, which puts people in jail for any online activity involving Christianity. People have no freedom over in China to express their feelings towards the government and are suppressed by the Government.

Social Media Free writing

I thought it was very interesting in how may users of facebook, and youtube are. I believe that using youtube will become the primary means of watching any movie, and that people would just pay to watch or rent some movies, and others people could watch free. This transition for the twenty first century has connected us with the internet a lot, and has made us dependant on social media to get the information we want. This includes information on the lives of famous people, and creates an openess never seen before. This also will become more and more of a problem as people's grammer will deteriorate using texting language in social networks such as twitter and Facebook. This gives people the freesom to share information like never before. I was surprised how many videos Youtube has and how they are one of the top search engines.
