Music listening
I think that music listening will affect me because everywhere you go there is some type of music playing. Like on the radio and on TV, all of those songs and the music must be licensed. I only use music for videos in this class. Sometimes I listen to Youtube if I get bored at school, but outside of school I usually listen to the radio or watch music videos on GMC, but I never realized how it was to copyright a song or music. In today's world music is in a lot of places which makes the music world even more confusing.
Google Drive Privacy
Google drive privacy policy is similar to Drop box, SkiDrive, and iCloud. All of their policies basically say the same thing that they can use and distribute you information to their companies and others that they work with. Also all of them claim that they will never share your information with anyone outside of their own company or companies, with some exceptions, but they can and will share your information with other companies. If I was using Google Drive or any of the other sites, I wouldn't want strangers looking at my personal information. So if you don't want people to see your personal information then don't put your personal information on the Internet.
Online Bibliography
I used Son of Citation, Easybib, and Workcited4U. Workcited4U was the worst one,you had to type in the information about the book and it didn't look anything like what it was supposed to look like. Easybib looked pretty good to me. Easybib looked similar to Owl of Purdue. Son of Citation I had to type in the information about the book, it was a better citation than WorkCited4U. I liked the Owl of Purdue because it was easy and correct and it tells you how to type the citation.

Pinterest, Live binders, and Evernote
Pinterest sounds like a fun website to join. Pinterest would also be a great website to use for school or just for yourself. Live Binders would be great if someone was doing a school project because you can put all of your information in one place instead of having all of your information spread out. Live Binders is also a lot faster way to find information. Evernote would be a good website to use if someone had an office job because you can take notes from a meeting or something and save it online. Plus on Pinterest and Evernote you can add pictures. On all of these websites would be good for school and for fun.

Virtual Revolution
I liked the video. It was very interesting. I learned some new things about the web. For instance, I didn't know that an 18 year old college guy in his dorm was one of the first guys to put piracy on the web. I also learned that the guy who started the web did it so that way people could communicate and research with other people, today people can do a lot more on the web. People can buy and sell things, check market prices, and a lot more things. I think that in the future everybody will be using the web and the Internet, and that the web and the Internet is going to be used everywhere in the world.

Privacy on the Internet
I think that the companies that use the Internet should have more strict and less confusing privacy contracts. For instance, Facebook's privacy contract has a lot of words in it so not very many people will read it and people won't realize what the privacy contract said until something happens to them. Facebook is not the only one with confusing and long privacy contracts, a lot of companies have them too. If people don't read the privacy contract before they join an organization or a website then they won't know if their privacy is kept private. I think privacy contracts should be short and to the point so that the privacy contracts on the Internet is easier to read and understand.
