View the following You-Tube post from Corning Glass to see where our computer world is going. I just figure homes will come standard with the equipment one of these days, at least for the 2%. Those of us in the 47% may have to morgtage our children. At the end of the video you can elect to see more and it is quite entertaining. Technology is taking us into a total new world.

We all end up now and then just saying it wrong don't we, I mean it is the pitts when it comes out just like we mean it and the wrong person(s) happen to be present. It is really hard remembering sometimes just which special interest group we are in front of, you know, how when you step down to the 47% they just all look alike and who would think that there would be one of the 47% that would sneak into the special meeting closed for the upper 1%?

My Experience Using Blog Software

I would certainly be one of those learners that any blog site might want to use to determine just how friendly a blog is for a beginner to use. I find it rather difficult to find my way around in wordpress to try to set some of the settings like who can view my blog or even looking for a way to attach a picture currently from my web cam. Google+ has me looking rather hard as well but so far it is a bit more friendly in helping me find and understand the different categories and settings that I need to fulfill my class expectations.

I do think in either, once an individual has learned what it is really all about, that blogs are great tools to use for education and for social activity. Where our union activity is concerned it is a great tool to use for discussions on what is happening on job sites, in the District and on an International level. It would also be a good creative tool, governed properly (meaning restricting language and remarks of any racial nature), in getting feedback from members, strangers, friends and family. Educational videos and training sessions of a general nature about unions could also be posted so that there is a greater public understanding of the need for and the productivity of unions.

For our class in learning how to use blogs the exercises are invaluable and I am trying to use somewhat of the method of teaching myself how to swim by just jumping in, but if I go down once more I may have to holler for someone, anyone to throw me a life ring. Now if that doesn’t have you crying for me then view the following video: Hee Haw Blooper
