NET NEUTRAL NEUTRALITY

Posted by Thomas Wallison in Technology- Freshmen - Hull - y2 on Friday, December 19, 2014 at 10:28 am

Net neutrality, the idea that ISPs have to treat all data the same. This principle, which is key in maintaining internet costs and safety, is at jeopardy. It is very important for teens to know about because theyŕe leading the internet charge. They’re going to lead the way for the next long while in “internet years,” changing everything that happens. Teens need to know so they can make the right choices and understand why net neutrality would be bad.

Young people are also the main users of the internet currently.[1] This matters because they are going to be the main users of the internet for a while, perhaps. Eventually, hopefully, there will be 100% of usage of the internet, and it won’t matter, but for now, it does.  Therefore, teens need to understand why it would be horrible for everyone but the ISPs if net neutrality is dropped. Suddenly, everyone will be paying loads more for the “fast lane” which would just be the same thing that we have now.[2] Students may get hurt as well; if you’re trying to learn and just get told “NO” because the website owner didn't pay the fee, that could be a huge boon to you education gone. Just like that.[3]

All in all, it’s very important that teens understand net neutrality. It will help the ISPs, but only in ways that would involve the citizens paying more for something that really doesn't need to be payed more for.  The future leaders of the internet should be educated. The internet is beautiful and extremely useful, and it would be worthy to keep that way.

More and More Net Neutrality Opinions

Posted by Asher Swartz in Technology- Freshmen - Hull - y2 on Friday, December 19, 2014 at 10:27 am

​ My opinion on Net Neutrality? Everyone needs to know about it, teens included, especially even since we are the ones who are going to have to deal with this. We will be voting soon, and we will have influence on the government so it is important for us to make smart, deliberate decisions on how the internet will work. As seen here (http://www.whitehouse.gov/net-neutrality), Obama wishes to address this, and even though we wont be able to vote for him, we could vote for someone with similar ideas.
Even though internet as a utility might have its own problems, it is still better than an internet that is controlled by mega-corporations. Though internet as a utility may cost more, at least it won't be controlled and have the cost vary and be terrible and have everyone suffer. The head of the FCC Tom Wheeler (http://www.fcc.gov/leadership/tom-wheeler) is and has been involved in ISPs, which are completely biased towards net neutrality. That may affect the way he decides, which is important to know. Make good, informed decisions based on facts.
ISPs are negative because they act as middlemen. Middlemen are always bad because they raise raise prices, which is bad for you. Since they want to make money, they will find the ways to make money best. ISPs could get money from you to get internet, extort money form a website for a fast connection, and then that site charges you more money. This (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality#Dumb_pipe Wikipedia article talks about Dumb Pipes, which are internet lanes that just transmit data. ISPs want pipes they can control, so they can get money. It is important to know about this because it gives you information about what they want to do.

Net Neutrality

Posted by James Thomas in Technology- Freshmen - Hull - y2 on Friday, December 19, 2014 at 10:19 am

​   Net Neutrality is a difficult idea to get across to people, especially teens. However, teens should know about this because they are, quire literally, the future. The internet is becoming more popular among people today and ISPs are taking advantage of that. They are slowing down lanes which in turn make people want to buy fast lanes, which don't even speed up the lanes. By doing this, ISPs are gaining money for manipulating the consumers' internet.

   Net Neutrality can easily put a stop to this. If everyone "treated each bit as any other bit," then all internet lanes will run smoothly. Everyone will have the exact same speed for internet. But if ISPs are manipulating lanes and defying Net Neurtral, then no one will have the same internet. In turn, citizens will not be treated equally.

   Generation Y are the people born from the 1980s to the early 2000s. Generation Y is also the generation that is using the internet today. This means that teens today, at this very moment, are definitely affected. Net Neutrality is a serious matter that will force teens to go on cites the ISPs want them to go to. This is why teens should be concerned about Net Neutrality.

Net Neutrality Opinion Seyni Ndaw in Tech 9-016

Posted by Seyni Ndaw in Technology- Freshmen - Hull - y2 on Friday, December 19, 2014 at 10:17 am

Net Neutrality is extremely important for teens to be aware of. It's no secret that teenagers and children growing up in this age are the most frequent users and consumers of technology and the internet overall. It is important for us to be aware of the controversies behind our number one resource for nearly everything we do, ranging from communication to consuming media such as tv shows and movies, and how we do our research for schools and other things. 

Economy and class status is one of the biggest factors that goes into Net Neutrality and how it impacts others. If we as internet citizens were to lose net neutrality, it would be one more thing to add to the list of injustices and unfairness towards those in the middle and lower class. To ask for those with lower wealth to pay more for faster internet is ridiculous. It's obvious it's not the companies' obligation to genuinely care about internet citizens because all they care about is money. Internet providers tend to advertise so called ¨fast lanes¨ as though paying more is the equivalent of faster internet. However, more times than not internet citizens are actually paying for the exact same treatment as before. 

Seeing as we are the Net Generation, also called Generation Y, it will soon be our responsibility to control and adjust the internet and how we use it. We must first educate ourselves and others to accumulate and understanding of our internet and how much control we dont have over it. There is the overall misconception amongst teens that as long as we're careful, our personal information belongs to us. But this is far from true. Our internet and everything we choose to include in it is under the ultimate control of the government.

I learned that I should look at my slide as if it's on a graph, so I made the slide more symmetrical by putting the icons on either side of the larger icon. Then I put my name on top of everything.

Net Neutrality & Teens

Posted by Olivia Cooper in Technology- Freshmen - Hull - y2 on Friday, December 19, 2014 at 10:05 am

I think net neutrality is very good for us as users. It gives us the freedom to do and see whatever we want. This is bad for ISP's though. This means that they cannot charge us to go on certain websites.

Revised Slide (what I learned)

Posted by Mackenzie Harrington in Technology- Freshmen - Hull - y2 on Friday, December 19, 2014 at 9:56 am

I changed the fonts and colors to all the same so it didn't look like a rainbow hot mess. I also scaled my pictures to make it look neater. Then I made my description shorter and blended my pictures into the background. My classmates insired me to change my slide to what it is now. Now it looks a lot better and more interesting to look at.

Revised Media Fluency #2

Posted by Nadia Green in Technology- Freshmen - Hull - y2 on Friday, December 12, 2014 at 6:39 pm

Untitled presentation (1)

​I changed my picture with a clearer one that still focused on the theme of my message. I made the picture take up the whole page and placed the quote on the bottom left corner of the page. I wanted the audience to focus more on the picture and then have their eyes drift toward the quote. I used the bolding technique from Zen. They said bolding can make the words pop off the page. I also want the viewers to be able to read the words easily. What I learned from this is that there are many different right and wrong ways to create a poser that is appealing to people and gets their message across at the same time. I also learned the many techniques that can make your poster or page more memorable and make the people remember the message that you were trying to get across.

Posted by Yafang Wu in Technology- Freshmen - Hull - y2 on Friday, December 12, 2014 at 10:12 am

So I change the anime girl into the anime artist, and make the letters bigger. Also, I made the background blue smaller. and I change the words to match up the "bad girl" more.

William Figueiredo Slide!!!!!!

Posted by William Dos Santos Figueiredo in Technology- Freshmen - Hull - y2 on Friday, December 12, 2014 at 10:09 am

This is the slide i have made. I followed a few directions from some websites like http://therulesofdesign.com/. One thing that this website thought me that i have changed was to never use italics, because if everything is emphithised nothing is. I have also followed a direction that states, texts are meant to be read, and it should never be smalled than 17px in heigh. Lastly this website have thought me that design should be simple and over-complicated is often a poor excuse for deth.
