My goals for today are:
-Learn what makes a picture a good picture. \
-What do professionals have to look out for when they are editing
-What do people edit in casual photos
Research
Goal 1-Learn what makes a picture a good picture

There are many things that photographers watch out for when they are taking pictuers. But they also make pictures better by editing somethings like black and white, color, cropping bad parts, sharpen, and more.
Goal 2-What do professionals have to look out for when they are editing

http://conversations.nokia.com/2010/10/21/three-things-to-edit-on-every-photo-nokia-n8-camera-school/
Although many photographers don't edit their photos since the cameras already take a really good quality picture there are some aspects that they do edit like the black and white because it shows more emotion and colors don't distract the viewer, also it makes good contrast with the lights. Sharpen the image by adding contrast, it makes the subject look more alive.
Goal 3 -What do people edit in casual, fun photos

Most people like to make sure that they look good in a picture so they fix their complexion, skin tone and make retouches. Make the colors pop more for it to be more attractive. They enhance the quality of the picture and eliminate errors like moving or red eyes.
For next class...
My goals for next class are to start editing pictures i get on the internet that are not edited.
One picture will be a picture that will be most commonly edited by teens that want to make their pictures"prettier". And the other will be a picture that would be more professional for example for a brochure or something like that. Maybe I will do more examples of each kind, with different programs. Also start thinking in which media form will I present my final project.

DIGITAL NATION
1. I agree with what they said about making life easier with technology because now we can do things faster and easier with the internet.
2. I agree with what the movie said about multitasking because we can do homework and be watching a video at the same time.
3. I agree in what the women said about all being connected at all times because people now don't go anywhere without an electronic device if they don't have it they will feel incomplete.
4. I disagree on the people who cant live with electronics because now at every second of the day they are busy and don't pay attention to their families or friends.
5. I agree on teachers educating with technology because that is where the future is headed and we need to take advantage of it.
6. I agree on multitasking when you are doing things that are not so serious.
7. I disagree on multitasking when you are working or doing homework because you will do everything worse than if you were doing it one thing at a time.
8. I disagree on the research of the brain while reading and while using Google because in Google you are having more information that is relevant for you.
9.I agree that our society has an addiction to tech that even you have to do it while driving (driving and texting).
10. I agree about what they said about having an addiction to play video games is very bad because people are loosing their time in something that dose not help them.
11. I agree on what they said about technology decreases face to face communication because people now prefer to not speak and just text someone.
12.I agree on having those camps of rehabilitation because you have a rest for a few days from technology and don't have the temptation of using it.
13. But also I disagree with these camps because as soon as the kids return home the first thing the will want to do is go on the computer.
14. I agree on what they said about kids being native and grownups being immigrants because kids always are teaching their parents or grown ups new things about technology.
15. I agree on having technology in all schools because it will teach the students to see the world in a new way and have more opportunities.
16. I agree on having a firewall to block programs out because I think that there are many websites that are inappropriate for school.
17. I disagree and agree on that this is a dumb generation because it depends on how you use your resources many people use them to research more and learn more, but others just to play around.
18. I agree that people don't read as much as they used to because there is now many websites that have a summary so you don't have to do as much work.
19. I agree on the idea of what we need is to slow down on to focus on only one one thing at a time.
20. I agree on that we need to appreciate technology because it always comes with new opportunities.
21. I agree on what they said about connecting people because it really helps you to feel closer, share experiences and relate with others.
22. I disagree on having a virtual world instead of a real meeting because you will have miss interpretations and it is never the same to be face to face than in two parts of the world.
23. I disagree on just having a virtual world because it dose not feel real, we will forget how to behave in front of humans, forget how to speak and will become isolated from the world.
2. I agree with what the movie said about multitasking because we can do homework and be watching a video at the same time.
