BBT 10: Automobile Body Styles and Designs Part One of Two

1.Trucks or pickup trucks are the workhorses of the auto industry. Found with an open, flat bed for hauling a variety of cargo, pickup trucks can be fitted with three cabin options. If looking at a truck, choosing the right kind for a specific lifestyle can prove very difficult. It’s wise for a buyer to seriously realize their needs and not purchase a truck that may be too limited or excessive in capacity. In regards to passenger volume, regular cab trucks provide single row seating while an extended cab adds rear seat room for addition passengers. In order to grant improved rear seat accessibility, crew cab trucks present four-door cabins for ultimate convenience.

2.The Chevrolet Corvette comes in either coupe or convertible with two trim levels to choose from and several sub-trims. The base model is outfitted with 18” front wheels and 19” rear wheels, signature Brembo braking system, xenon headlamps, heated and powered side mirrors, remote entry/start, two-zone climate control, leather seating, powered front seats, powered tilt and telescope steering wheel, OnStar with rolling Wi-Fi, Bluetooth/iPod/USB integration, the MyLink infotainment interface, parking camera and a premium nine-speaker Bose audio system.


3.Sold in LS and LT trim levels, the 2011 Chevrolet HHR is a versatile yet fuel efficient utility wagon. Powered by a variety of Ecotec four-cylinder engines, a 155 horsepower 2.2 liter standard on the 2011 HHR LS can be upgraded to an available 2.4 liter unit producing 172 horsepower. There is a choice of two transmissions, fuel economy is an average 27 miles per gallon with a 5-speed manual or a 26 miles per gallon with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Cruise control, power windows and door locks, remote keyless entry as well as dual auxiliary electrical outlets are standard convenience items on the 2011 Chevrolet HHR LS trim. The LT model adds 16-inch wheels and carpeted floor mats. The 2011 Chevrolet HHR can also be ordered in a panel van version featuring a flat, rear area providing 57 cubic feet of cargo space. An optional under-floor storage 



4.The full-sized Chevrolet Suburban comes in three trim levels with seating for up to nine passengers. The base model is nicely stacked and includes: 18” premium alloy wheels, privacy glass in the rear, roof rails, remote entry/start, parking sensors (rear), parking camera, powered and heated side mirrors, automated windshield wipers, triple-zone climate control, powered front seating, OnStar, Bluetooth/iPod/USB connectivity and a six-speaker audio system with HD radio. Options and upper trim levels can add a collision mitigation system, powered tilt and telescope steering wheel, premium leather seating, 8” touchscreen with GPS, powered folding second and third-row seating, up to 22” wheels, xenon headlamps, premium Bose audio system, towing package and more.



5.The 2009 Pontiac Solstice is a two-door roadster that now offers a new hardtop coupe, with a removable roof panel, which is available in the same base and GXP trim levels as the soft top. New to the lineup is the soft-top Solstice Street Edition, with upgraded standard features and a sport suspension. The base Pontiac Solstice standard safety features include previously optional items, such as stability and traction control, four-wheel antilock disc brakes and a limited-slip rear differential. Also new is Bluetooth connectivity as well as updated wheel design. The base trim is powered by a 2.4L four-cylinder engine with 177 hp and 166 lb-ft of torque, while the GXP boasts a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine that blasts 260 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque.

Part Two of Two - Tech for the Sake of Tech?


  • I don't think our generation would want to go without a smart phone because everyone has them and cant even go a day without a phone.
  • I think that this help's people stay away from dangers but you still have to pay full attention on the road.
  • The importance of technology in a brand new car are very important because you have to know what you are buying and how the technology works in a new car. 
  • One new feature I would look for is having a phone built into the car.
  • One thing they might of thought in the older cars that were not needed was seat belts or air bags.

Monday 7 December 2015

Part One of Two - Technologies in Development


  • Out of the six car technology's I think flying cars will not happened. It would be hard to engineer a car to fly, Planes are made to fly not cars. People would probably have a hard time to control the cars.
  • Out of the six I think the that  will happens would be cars can drive them self, if cars could drive them self people without license.
  • Out of the six car technology's I think the safety features will be the first to happen.
  • The safety can keep both people in the the front seat safe because it tells you if you are to stressed and not good to drive.
  • The disadvantages if we had flying cars there would be a lot more accidents. The advantages of having flying cars is you would get places faster.
  • I would rather drive then get a car to drive me.      

Friday 4 December 2015

Part Four of Four - Automobile Timeline

1901 olds automobile factory starts production 


  • I picked this point because the cars only had 3 horse power and they sold 425 of them.
1908 William Durant forms General Motors 

  • I thought this point was pretty cool because general motors is the best car manufacturer out there.
1926 first power steering system 

  • This is another good point because power steering makes a big difference when your driving any kind of automobile.  
1966 electric fuel injection 

  • fuel injection is a good thing to have because it knows how much fuel to give the motor so it will make most performance.

BBT 10: Digital Literacy


Journal Entry #8: Digital Law

  • What I found most surprising about this unit was how careful you should be on the internet, always keep everything private.
  • The information that I found difficult to locate was two actions that can violate someone's privacy.
  •  It is a very good resource, it gives all the information that you need.
  • Same with this website. It is a very good resource, it gives all the information that you need.
  • They biggest issue is we rely on the internet too much and we tend to copy and paste other peoples information instead of our own.
  • The biggest issue for cyber bullying is that teens will do anything to bring someone down on the internet, and they do not know how to ignore it.

Thursday 5 November 2015

Assignment #2: Cyber Bullying (and Privacy)

1. Non-Consensual Distribution of an Intimate Image: if someone has a sexual/intimate picture/video of you that was created in private circumstances, and that person knowingly posts it online or shares it with someone else knowing that you would not consent to that (or being reckless about whether you would consent to it), the person could be charged.
Voyeurism: secretly observing or recording a person who reasonably believes his/her actions are private and:
  • who is in a place where the person might be expected to change or remove clothing (e.g. bedroom, bathroom, change room, cabin, tent);
  • who is all or partially naked or engaged in sexual activity at the time; or
  • where the recording is done for sexual reasons.
2. Acts that Make Others Feel UnsafeHarassment: doing or saying something that makes someone else scared for themselves or someone else (e.g. making threats, stalking, repeatedly texting/emailing, constantly following).
Unwanted or Illegal Sexual ContactInvitation to Sexual Touching: encouraging a person under 16 to touch themselves or someone else for a sexual purpose (whether in person or online). It includes indirect touching (with an object, for example). When both people are close enough in age AND have lawfully consented, charges may not be laid.
3.  Police
     Cybertip.ca
     Options Other than Reporting
4. You should always include your age. You should always also say if it is you in the picture or not. You should also let them know if you sent the picture or video to someone so it does not cause trouble. To deal with peers you should never message back to a mean message. You could also delete the bully from your social networks.
5. What I found interesting about "Don't Let Others Write Your Story" is that everything they said was helpful, like sticking up for yourself.
6. One way I could help promote the #changeyourstory is if they have a Facebook page I could share it.
 

Assignment #1: Copyright and Copy-wrong

1.The Copyright Act provides that it is not an infringement of copyright to deal with a work for the purposes of research, private study, criticism, review, news reporting, education, satire, and parody, provided the dealing is “fair.”
2.up to 10 per cent.
3. Copying or communicating that exceeds the limits in these Fair Dealing Guidelines may be referred to a supervisor or other person designated by the educational institution for evaluation. An evaluation of whether the proposed copying or communication is permitted under fair dealing will be made based on all relevant circumstances.
4.Any fee charged by the educational institution for communicating or copying a short excerpt from a copyright protected work must be intended to cover only the costs of the institution, including overhead costs.
5. A teacher can copy (or take any other necessary action) in order to display a work protected by copyright. This permits the use of whiteboards and similar tools, overhead projection using a device such as an LCD screen, overhead, opaque, or slide projector, provided the work is used for the purpose of education and training and is not already commercially available in a medium that is appropriate for this purpose. 
6. Educational institutions may not make a large-print book for a student with a perceptual disability without permission from the copyright owner.
7. Yes, you can play sound recordings and turn on televisions and radios in the classroom, subject to all of the following conditions: • it must take place on the premises of an educational institution; • it must be for educational or training purposes; • it must not be for profit; • it must take place before an audience consisting primarily of students of the educational institution, persons acting under its authority, or any person who is directly responsible for setting a curriculum for the educational institution; and • it must not involve a “motive of gain.“
8. No. Copying an entire musical score that is not in a copyrightprotected work containing other musical scores is not permitted. Permission must be obtained. Normally, the music publisher can provide permission. Sometimes the right to copy music is given when music is purchased. The music books or sheets will have a notice stating that copying is permitted. In this case, music can be copied without the copyright owner’s permission in accordance with the terms of the notice. Fair dealing permits limited educational dealings with musical scores. First, copying an entire single musical score from a copyrightprotected work containing other musical scores is permitted. Second, up to 10 per cent of a musical work can be copied under fair dealing.The Copyright Act permits educational institutions to perform music, whether recorded or live, without payment or permission from the owner of the copyright. A person acting under the authority of a non-profit educational institution can: • perform a musical work live if the performance is primarily by students of the educational institution; • play sound recordings containing a musical work; and • play radio and television programs containing a musical work while the program is being transmitted (over-the-air broadcast, cable, satellite, or over the Internet). The following conditions apply. The performance must: • take place on the premises of an educational institution; • be for educational or training purposes; • not be for profit; and • take place before an audience consisting primarily of students of the educational institution, persons acting under its authority, or any person who is directly responsible for setting a curriculum for the educational institution. The Copyright Act permits the public performance of music in schools when it is “in furtherance of an educational object.” Performances that are not in furtherance of an educational object must be authorized by the copyright owner, or by a collective that represents the owner.
9. SOCAN and Re:Sound can provide licences to schools and school boards across Canada
10. Did the music use occur during school hours? • Will the student be graded on the activity involving the music use? • Does the music use involve a demonstration by a student or teacher for other students, teachers, assessors, or parents? • Is it reasonable to consider the music use to be for educational purposes? The phrase “educational purposes” is not defined in the Copyright Act but can be described as an activity that is planned and where the objective is for students to meet one or more subject or program outcomes. • Was the music used on school premises? • If admission was controlled, was it free? • Was the music use for a non-profit purpose?
11. The Copyright Act contains a users’ right permitting anyone, not just students and teachers, to use copyright-protected works to create new works. This users’ right is referred to in the Copyright Act as “non-commercial user-generated content.” This users’ right can be found in section 29.21 of the Copyright Act as amended by the Copyright Modernization Act. The following conditions apply to the creation of non-commercial user-generated content: 1. It can only be used for non-commercial purposes. 2. The original source must be mentioned, if it is reasonable to do so. 3. The original work used to generate the content must have been acquired legally. 4. The resulting user-generated content does not have a “substantial adverse effect” on the market for the original work.
12. The Copyright Act permits showing an audiovisual work such as a DVD or video as long as the work is not an infringing copy or the person responsible for the showing has no reasonable grounds to believe it is an infringing copy. Teachers can show audiovisual works purchased or rented from a retail store, a copy borrowed from the library, a copy borrowed from a friend, and a YouTube video.
13.No. Teachers cannot copy an audiovisual work at home and then show it in the classroom. Teachers can, however, show a legally obtained copy in the classroom. A legally obtained copy includes a copy purchased or rented from a retail store, a copy borrowed from the library, a copy borrowed from a friend, and a YouTube video.
14. Owners of legal copies of computer programs may make a single reproduction of these programs in only two situations: 1. An owner of a legitimate copy of a computer program may make one backup copy of that program. The person must be able to prove that the backup copy is erased as soon as he or she ceases to be the owner of the copy of the computer program from which the backup was made. 2. An owner of a legitimate copy of a computer program may also make a single copy of that program by adapting, modifying, or converting the computer program or translating it into another computer language, provided that: (i) the reproduction is essential for the compatibility of the program with a particular computer; (ii) the reproduction is solely for the person’s own use; and (iii) the copy is erased when the person ceases to be the owner of the copy of the program from which the copy was made.
15.  Yes. Educational institutions, teachers, and students may save, download, and share publicly available Internet materials, as well as use that material in the classroom and communicate it to students or others within their education circle. “Publicly available” materials are those posted on-line by content creators and copyright owners without any technological protection measures, such as a password, encryption system, or similar technology intended to limit access or distribution, and without a clearly visible notice prohibiting educational use. Routine classroom uses may be made of publicly available Internet materials, such as incorporating on-line text or images into homework assignments, performing music or plays on-line for peers, exchanging materials with teachers or peers, or reposting a work on a restricted-access course Web site. To encourage copyright awareness and respect in all circumstances, students and educators are required to cite the source of the Internet materials they use.
16. No. A digital lock is a technological protection measure (such as encryption or a password) that restricts the ability of users of digital content from sharing or copying the content. The Copyright Act prohibits breaking a digital lock even for educational uses that are otherwise permitted by the Copyright Act. For example, the encryption on most commercial DVDs, or the serial-key validation required by many software programs, protects these DVDs and software programs from unauthorized use. These protections cannot be broken even if the purpose of the use is otherwise allowed. I do not feel that this is very safe.17. Mark Jardine  (2015).

Journal Entry #7: Digital Access

  • I found it most surprising at how improved Ecuador's economy improved through technology. Their goals seemed hard to do, however they did it. 
  •  I found it confusing how Ecuador became a more technology based economy because it would be hard to do.
  • I think everyone should have reliable, fast access to the internet because the internet is used for many good purposes and is a big part of our lives today.
  • I am sometimes concerned about my privacy on-line because you don't know what someone could do with it. 
  • I don't usually think about what I post when I am young, because I  don't post anything that is bad. 
  • I think the biggest issue when it comes to digital access and privacy among young people is that we don't realize how easy someone can access the information you share, or what they could do with it. 

Assignment #2: Privacy Please

  • School report cards and daily attendance should be digital and passwords should be issued for parents to log in and check results.

For:
  1. Paper report cards can easily be lost, or hidden from parents.
  2. It would allow the parents to check results whenever they needed 
  3. When report cards are handed out, some people don't like to share marks, and it can be hard for the student when people ask to see what they got for a mark in a class.

  1. Parents may not bother to log in and check how their child is doing.
  2. people could forget there passwords
  3. Information could somehow be deleted, or hacked. 

  • Schools in 2020 should be closed and teachers and students should begin learning in virtual classrooms using digital technology at home. 
For:
  1. It would keep students from missing time due to injuries or sickness,
  2. There would be no worry about being late.
  3. It would give people more time.
Against:
  1. Students may not bother to do anything when at home with nobody to encourage them to do there home work
  2. There are many more distractions at home then there are in a classroom.
  3. If they needed one-on-one help it would be harder to get then it is when at a school.  
  • Digital text books should replace entirely paper textbooks by 2020 in New Brunswick.
For:
  1. Students may be more interested if they have something digital rather than just a text book.
  2. Unlike paper text books, they cannot be drawn on or pages would not be ripped,
  3. It would be fast and easy.
Against:
  1. It would be very expensive.
  2. If broken, it would be hard to replace.
  3. Students could fool around with them causing a distraction. 

Assignment #1: Open the Door to Ecuador

  1. Ecuador's income comes from natural resource extraction as a source of economic growth Instead, they are seeking to create a digital- and knowledge-based economy.
  2. ICT stands for the Information Communication Technology.
  3. If Ecuador increases their connection to the internet, two possible advantages are that they will have over  their neighbours  : They would be able to bridge a digital divide. They would be able to provide rural areas with computer training and internet access.
  4. Infocentros are public places that provide internet training and inter net access to rural areas. I think we are to far beyond this because most people in New Brunswick already know how to work computers.
  5.  Yachay is an important city because it is the "hub" for technological research and scientific infrastructure,inside the city is Yachay University, which is now Ecuador's first research technology institute.
  6. I think their effort is working for them because they need to get advanced in order to get the education they wanted and also the technology.

    Tuesday 20 October 2015

    Journal Entry #2 (Digital Communication)

    What I found surprising that the maximum period of time you can wait to reply to someone is one week, and by that time by the time you answer its  considered rude. I learned that you are supposed to reply within 24 hours, most people do. I also learned that you should not type in all caps because it makes the person you are talking to think you are mad at them. Blind Carbon Copy is an email field to which you can add several recipients, and the address is hidden from everyone else.  This can be used when people  forward emails without removing the addresses of previous recipients, which leads to messages that are repeatedly sent to many recipients. Out of this information I think the most important thing young people are to consider is to just think before you send and reply. Is it good enough. Will they know who you are. How long ago did I receive the message its  all important because once you send a message, it cannot be unsent so it has to be exactly what you want before you send it.

    Assignment #2 (Acronyms Attack)

    LGFAR- lets go for a rip
    GDB- good day boys

    3. The messages can be stored in the device for longer times, without being damaged, unlike paper files that easily get damages or attacked by insects. 
    4. Digital communication can be done over large distances through internet and other things.


     4 disadvantages in my opinion are:
    1. It is unreliable as the messages cannot be recognised by signatures. Though software can be developed for this, yet the software can be easily hacked. 
    2. Sometimes, the quickness of digital communication is harmful as messages can be sent with the click of a mouse. The person  not think and sends the message at an impulse. 
    3. Digital Communication has completely ignored the human touch. A personal touch cannot be established because all the computers will have the same font! 

    4. The establishment of Digital Communication causes degradation of the environment in some cases. "Electronic waste" is an example. The vibes given out by the telephone and cell phone towers are so strong that they can kill small birds. In fact the common sparrow has vanished due to so many towers coming up as the vibrations hit them on the head. 
    (Got answers form yahoo answers.)

        3. he three most popular forms of digital communication today are Facebook, Texting and Snap chat. I think they are popular because a lot of people yours them.

    4. 3 forms of  digital communication that may not be around much longer are are snap chat because its easy for people to hack. ask fm because people say bad words on it a lot. and  maybe Facebook because people hack it also.  

    5. Five locations or scenarios  in real life where you really should not be communicating digitally are;


    1. In the car- Because its dangerous
    2. at school- Because you wont be listing to the teachers you will be on your phone
    3. At work- Because you wont get no work done
    4. When your at a funeral- Because it is disrespectful
    5. On a air plain- Because u could cause the air plain to crash

    6. All forms of digital communication are dangerous to our health and well-being. Whenever we message or e-mail someone, your tone of voice and your emotions don't go through, which may convey a different message than intended when sent. People can use the internet for cyber-bullying and spreading false information or rumours

    7. Given the fact that four and five year old have tablets and smartphones now I don't think that kids will find a healthy balance between on line and offline activities. They are already spending a large amount of time on line, and the amount of time may increase as they age.

     8. When a person dies, I believe that if they have Facebook there account should be kept on so you can remember them more and say good things about them.

    Digital Security Assignment 1


    1.  I think the passwords listed at the worst are easy to guess because they are the easiest passwords to remember. 
    2. Yes I yours one of these passwords before. I still think the list is good because my password wasn't hard to guess.
    3. Yes I think adults are more likely to yours these passwords because they want the password they use to be more easy so they wont forget it. 
    4. 1 is your name. Another one is 1234. Another on is 1212.
    5. To have a strong password it should have numbers and letters and should be 10 numbers/letters long.

    I pick this picture because it looked cool.I made my monster because I thought it would look pretty funny. The whole project was pretty easy and didn't take long to do.

    bonus


    be true to your school

    I think my van represents our school pretty good. The most challenging part was trying to make the pictures look good. I dont have any interests in photo editing. I would not like to do this as a job.

    Before the War

    I selected this photo because it was the first one there. The most challenging thing for me was the faces because I couldn't get them right. The easiest part was border around the picture. I probably wouldn't restore photos as a job.

    Freck of Nature

      
    I selected these animals because I though it would look pretty cool. The most challenging part of this was cutting and putting the moose head on the dog. Mine doesn't really look like a real animal because it has a big head and small body. I have never used any photo editing before.

    pictures

    Point of View-when I go to take pictures tomorrow I am going to focus on point of view because you can use a lot of different angles.When you take pictures at different angles you can make the picture look a lot better.

    Rule of Thirds- for rule of thirds I am going to take a picture of something and have it off to the side for I can have a nice background.

    Fill in the Frame-for fill in the fame I am going to take a picture really close so it does not have a background.

    Framing-for framing I am going to take a picture of something that is in the centre.

    Level Horizon- for this I am going to take a picture of a tree line because it will probably be the easiest thing to take a picture of for level horizon.

    Photo editing

    For photo number one we edited the picture for it would go into black and white. We also turned the shadow all the way down. We kept the rest of them at 0. Also we turned the sharpness all of the way up.
    For photo number two, we edited the picture brightness down to 15 and we kept the contrast at 0. Also we put the saturation down to 15 and the shadows all the way down to 100.
    For photo number three, we edited the picture for the picture would be more bright. We kept the shadow down at 0. We kept all the rest of the options at 0. We turned the sharpness up to 100 and left structure at 0.

    camera techniques

    I watched a few video in BBT today and they were talking about camera techniques. I think we watch the videos because we are going to take pictures sometime this week.In one video it was telling us about what angle we should take a picture and it looks a lot better when took the picture like that. In the videos I didn't find anything really confusing, there was a few things that were but most of it was easy to follow. There are a few things I would like to know more about, but I did understand most of the things they were saying

    privacy and the internet

    It is important to lock privacy settings and make strong passwords because people can get your password and can say things on you facebook or twitter, you should lock you privacy settings because people wont know who you are, if you lock your privacy settings. Things you should not share online is you personal information like your address. You should read the steps of your privacy settings on your mobile phone. I think it is important to use different passwords for different sites because if someone gets your password they could log onto all of your sites.If you put your information on facebook people can find out were you live. If I lost my mobile phone I would be most worried about some knowing were I lived. I think people could learn a lot of stuff from my phone.

    Journal Entry 7

    In the video we watched in class I learned cell phones are taking over the world because everyone has one and they use them. Some things they talked about was how much people were using there phones they said there was millions of black berry users world wide and that is just black berry phones so they weren't counting other phones, i found that was pretty surprising. Another thing they said in the video was there was a person that just played game and never stopped so they had to amputate one of his legs because he never moved.

    Journal Entry 6

    In the documentary we watched in class, I learned people could watch us on the internet and I thought it was really weird that people could watch you on the internet. Another thing I learned was people could control there house from there phone and I thought that was pretty cool that they could turn there lights on just from there phones. The last thing I thought was pretty weird was people could see every thing you do on the internet.

    Reflections On My Digital Life

    Digital Life


    I was pretty surprised because I got most of the answers wrong.One of the questions was have you ever been in a car when someone was texting and the answer was 48 percent and I was kinda surprised by that. Another question was how many people had a facebook in 2011 and the answer was 500 million and I didn't think that many people had facebook. I use my phone the most, because I always have it with me so if I need to look something up I just take it out.


    The Digital Life


    The upside to digital life is you can talk to your family and you friends. The downside to digital life is people could start to say stuff to you and bully you.
