In tech class we watched a video on bullying. I learned what to do when I see someone being bullied. I should just tell an adult. I also learned what internet trolls are. They are people who just enjoy making us others feel bad.

My ISP(Internet Service Provider) is Verizon. In my house I have a modem/router that connects to a desktop, 2 T.V.'s, and a printer. My wi-fi connects to 4 tablets, 3 phones, and 2 laptops. During this assignment I learned all the components of a home network, such as the modem/router, Ethernet Chord and Fibre Cable, and what it really takes to give the internet connection I take for granted everyday. I think everybody should know what their home network looks like and what is connected to what-that way if something happens you don't have waste time trying to figure it out and you can get right into fixing the problem.

1. Today we watched a cartoon about bullying, googled ourselves, and altered images from the internet. The bullying cartoon was advertising an emoji that is used as a symbol for anti-bullying. 2. In the video you could click the emoji to make the situation better. This reminded me that anyone can stop bullying with something as simple as changing their attitude toward someone or about something. 3. I appear as a warm, fun, pleasant person online. 4. I think people would probably percieve me as a warm, fun, pleasant person. 5. An internet trolls goal is to anonymously disrupt discussions with negative comments and/or posts. 6. A positive to online anonymity is the fact that you can be anyone you want to be online. A negative is that if the user is anonymous it makes them harder to track if they aren't abiding by the rules of the internet.

In class, we watched a video about bullying. There was a little boy that was getting bullied before school, during school, and after school. There was an eye icon that appeared during some parts of the video. If you clicked on the eye, then something would prevent the little boy from getting bullied. For example, after school, the boy was walking home but he had a sign on his back. The sign said, "kick me", if you clicked the eye icon, then the bullies walking behind him would come up and take the sign off and be nice to him. However, if you didn't click on the eye, then the bullies would come up to him and kick him, like the sign said. When I think of bullying, I often think about others not doing anything to prevent bullying. I also often think about suicides, because bullying is often what leads to someone deciding to take their life away. Online, I appear to be a transgender model, even though I am not. There are also Facebook profiles from people named Ashley De La Cruz, which aren't mine, because I don't have a Facebook. I think if someone didn't know who I was, and they decided to look me up online, they might think that I am a transgender model, but I doubt it because I don't model. The goal of an internet troll is to create drama by making up false statements or accusations, in order to stir up controversy on someone. Something positive about online anonymity is that you can talk about something personal, like bullying issues, physical abuse issues, or any other thing, without using your real identity, so that it doesn't affect your daily life. Something negative about online anonymity is that if someone is being rude, disrespectful, or inappropriate towards someone else, you won't know who the person is because they are anonymous.
