Entertainment and the internet

The internet has definitely changed the world as we know it today. Entertainment is just one of many areas that has dramatically felt this change. With just a computer and internet connection we have the potential to spend unlimited hours of surfing, reading, gaming, learning and list can go on. Where else can you learn all that needs to be learned about a particular subject or get the latest gossip on your favorite celebrity right from the comfort of your home or anywhere you can get an internet connection for that matter.

My opinion is that the internet/www has helped us a great deal and over the last 15 years has even helped part in shaping our current culture, but with saying that there is also a dark side which is something that we all need to take into consideration, from aggressive advertisement to internet scams it’s all part of the game of taking the good with the bad.

I'm learning how to create hyperlinks and I learned it at this site annunzitao.org

Here are a few sites that I like and some that are used for referance

Webopedia is a great site for IT references and terms.

Compurtr Hope is another great site that I use often.

Music is a big  part of my life and Joy Division is a band that I have listened to since the early 80's.

Expectations For This Course

My hope is to of course learn new things but to also learn things that I maybe know about but never took into consideration the benefits they may have to offer. I know a little HTML so I am also hoping that this class will help expanded that knowledge a little better as well.

Introduction

Hi, my name is Ray Cabello and I live in the Dallas area here in Texas.  This year will be my second with UMASS and its really going great. I love the convenience that online education has to offer, and in large part was the reason that I chose to work towards my degree with UML.
In my free time I  play the guitar and just started to learn about photography which is more challenging then I thought.
