What topic in the video did you mostly identify with and why?
Sometimes i get tired of the technology. As they say in the video, we don't take breaks form it and 24/7 we are available to talk. People that text me expect and imidiate response and sometimes i just take a break form it. I like to use it with moderation and balance, not be overwhelmed by it.
What topic in the video was the most unlike your own experiences online and why?
I was really shocked by the boy who committed suicide. These stories are very common but i have never had one that had happened to someone close to me. I think this is carrying things to an extreme. People should be strong and know that there are people to help them, also campaigns and support groups This is not the way to escape your problems, you have to confront them.
What are the biggest benefits of being online for you personally?
I like being online because i get to learn from other places and trends like fashion and music. Also i can research about topics that interest me for example recipes of food. There are many web ages that permit me to do this and are not necessary social connected. These webpages may be Tumblr, Polyvore and others. Something that i really like is that it permits me to be connected with friends and family who live far away. With social pages i can know about their life =s and communicate with them instead of breaking are relationships that were close.

Green Computing
1. I don't know anything about this topic.
2. Is there other types of computing apart from green computing?
What is the purpose of computing?
3.
-It is a way of using computers (technology) and the resources that wont affect in a bad way our environment.
-It is the study of building technology that wouldn't have a negative impact.
Take responsibility for crating ways to dispose electronic waste.
-Also known as green IT (Green Information Technology)
-Started in 1992 with the energy star program that created the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
-Many companies are investing on these research and technology to reduce the dangerous waste and use more recycled materials.
http://www.techopedia.com/definition/14753/green-computing
http://searchdatacenter.techtarget.com/definition/green-computing
5. Summary
This topic may relate to my life because we live in a time that we all should be aware about global warming and the causes of it. This doesn't mean that people will stop using their technology, but if we have the opportunity to make a difference by not getting out of our "comfort zone" will be very good. If I have the opportunity to buy technology that is Eco friendly, then I would, since I am getting what I want but I am also helping out. With Green Computing this will be possible.
6. Is there companies or organizations that are against this? Why?
