Wow, A Blog!

Okk, alright, I'm going to be biased about this. I'm not gonna be saying what looks good or pleasing to people's eyes. Phones have been helpful to me ever since I received one. How? Well, phones didn't make my communication with friends worse since we use it to communicate or plan out events on where we can meet up and hang out, which shows that we communicate through phones and by actually hanging out with each other. It has mostly benefitted me when it came to communications with other people. If anything, it made it a lot better. It's like being there for them when I'm really not. What about if they're across the country? We won't be able to communicate without our phones. I don't mean that I depend on it so much that I use it and never talk to anyone in person, I use it to establish communication with someone in order to see them for more communication, since I'm not about to waste 2 tickets and my time and energy just so I could ask a person to hang out when I can just text them. I have to admit, people depend on phones way more, but it's because of the things it brings. Being able to talk without actually needing to meet up with them to plan something out, you could've planned it out if you texted them and did the thing you were planning for at the same time.

When it comes to school, it unfortunately is a distraction, I admit that, but only if it's misused. I use it for texting, snap chatting, Instagram, Twitter, but most importantly, I use it when I need to search something up. This shows that we become more dependent on phones and other electronics, only because of the benefits it gives us. I remember when the school board blocked Facebook. That wasn't really a big deal since who uses Facebook other than parents who want to brag about the place they recently went to or luxurious food that they recently ate. To me, it has helped me more than it became a problem to me. It helps me communicate more, it helps me if I'm bored, and most importantly, it helps me with my school work. Sometimes.

The fact that these things happen is really depressing, and by things, I mean celebrities, who are seen by almost everyone in the country or world, acting irresponsibly. I mean, I'm not saying that they should act all perfect or they are, because no one is perfect in this world if we're being realistic (except Oprah and Beyonce) but they should be good role models. Again, like I said,  no one is perfect and that's alright, but I don't understand why they'd want to look bad to your fans, And what's worse is that fans would turn a blind eye on this and.. well.. I can't blame them 'cause I'd do the same for my favourite artists, but at least I could explain the reason as to why they'd ignore the fact that their favourite artist(s) did something wrong. Think of it like this, if your mom, or anyone in your family, did something illegal or wrong, wouldn't you side with them no matter what? That's almost how it works. I guess.

One example of a really, really, bad role model but people still support, is Donald Trump. Why do people support him? I can be a better president than him, and that says something. The thing is, it's not that I hate him because of some petty reason, but it's because he's racist, sexist, and any "ist" you can think of. Maybe except feminist, 'cause he's certainly not a feminist. But anyways, why support him? Is he the one you want to represent America for some years? What's funny is that, Stalin supports Trump not because he likes him, but because America will look stupid to everyone which makes him look better. He's only one example of famous people doing bad. Would you, the reader, want another one? Too bad you're getting another one. Miley Cyrus. The girl everyone knew from the famous childhood show Hannah Montana, was innocent then. By innocent, I mean that she didn't show twerking and she wears clothes that make her look almost naked. Would that be nice to kids' eyes? Yeah not really. She can do whatever she wants, as long as she does not harm others, or get into some trouble.

Luckily, Mary Ward has services that can help a person who's being bullied. One of them is having school staff you can trust and tell a problem about. For example, guidance counsellors or the principal herself. Another benefit to Ward is that there's a rule where bullying is never allowed. No matter what. And if someone's seen bullying someone or they're informed of such an event then the person who's bullying will be suspended. If done more than once, possibly expelled. Also, the school will inform both parents about this incident and hopefully both parents do something about it. Although this didn't always work, at least they do everything to make the situation better.

I personally don't think that my school needs to improve on anything when it comes to bullying since no bullying has occurred recently. So good job, Mary Ward. Go Wolverines!! Woo.

How gullible people are these days to actually think that $1.3 Billion can be distributed to 300 Million people, which results with $9.3 Million each and ending poverty. Really? How? Just, how? Besides, I don't just believe whatever I see in the internet. I remember that article and news that came out at 2012 about how the world will be ending at December 13 because that's what it said in the Mayan calendar. Hey, I won't judge. Most people probably believed it out of fear, or maybe they just believe things easily. Either way, they believed it and look at the world now, everyone's still alive. That really does say something about how people easily think that something is real just because it's on the internet.You never know, maybe when you search up how to get rid of a headache, it isn't even true. How do I react to people believing things from the internet easily? It's hilarious. Why? Well it's like telling your friends when you were in preschool that Santa is real when you know he isn't and it's just hilarious to see their reactions to it.

Just imagining that millions of bytes of information that comes across my screen is shocking since I've never really seen it that way. All I think of is "Hey look, that's a post" and scroll down and the cycle goes on over and over and over again. Also, the responsibility that we have on posting what we want, we have to be more careful since if people will actually believe in the things we post, then what if we post something about the U.S. declaring a war on Russia, people will notice it, arguments will be made, and maybe it'll actually happen. Nonetheless, we should be careful about what we post and also be smart about if the post we're reading is actually true or not.



I'll remember what you did.

No, no, no no no no, no. I refuse to pay $9.99 just so ads wouldn't appear when I'm watching a video. I can wait for at least 15 seconds just so the ad could end, or just so I could play it in the background when I'm using another app, and I'm not worried about the ads that are over a minute since I'm pretty sure I could just skip it. Unless they take out that function then I would be really mad. So, as you, the reader, could tell by how I just reacted, I, not in a million years, would pay for something that isn't even worth for me to pull out $3.99 from my wallet just so these ads would be gone when I watch my videos, just in case you didn't know.

This function wouldn't even be in my top priorities if it's the last thing I have to do in this world. I just don't see the point of it, why would I need something that wouldn't even benefit me other than taking the ads off or having the option to save it, it's not gonna give me money constantly after I've paid for it, it won't give me any good benefits. Sure, it takes out the ads that everyone (other than the people who made the ads) hates, give you the privilege to save a video so you could be able to play offline on the toilet or something, and it could play in the background when you're on another app, but what else could it do?

Face it, would there be really anyone who'd pay for this function? If you were to be impatient, then there's a chance but really, the length of the ad varies. If it were 10-15 seconds, a person could wait, right? Besides, if the video was 2 minutes long, there's the "skip ad" function that you have to wait 5 seconds for so you could actually skip it. I get how they could be annoying to someone, but not to the point where you'd be willing to pay $9.99 for it. For me, I'm just really too cheap to pay for this. I'm willing to pay, only if it was something important, or something I want. I wouldn't even pay for a $0.99 app since I could live without it, just like how I could live without paying $9.99 so I could save it, and it's not like I would regret this later on because I know I made a good decision by saving my money and not paying for this. Also, being able to play it while the person's in another app, is that really the best they could do? I'm pretty sure that's meant for music, but why can't a person just download music?

I have to admit, being able to save it is different since some programs don't do that, but other than that, I find it useless. It's a nice way for YouTube to get even more money but I'm really not willing to pay that much money just for something that isn't really a problem to me. It's basically similar to giving a $50 tip to food that wasn't even good, it's unnecessary and useless.

I think it's dying. Yeah, it is. If you think about it, not a lot of people use it anymore, not even kids. Most kids just go to YouTube and watch their favourite YouTuber. I don't really watch TV since whatever I need to watch could be watched somewhere else. Netflix, for example. If I wanted to watch a show, I could easily go to Netflix and even watch more of the same show if I wanted to. One reason why I think it's dying is because TV can't be placed anywhere you want to, it isn't portable. If I ever lose my TV, it wouldn't really affect me that much.

I would only turn my TV on just so there's sound in the room, because I'm bored, to find out if my favourite team won last night, or just so I would find out if it's sunny today. Other than that, I would go on the computer or my phone and watch YouTube videos. Some people may disagree to this since they still have something to watch and still finds TV a suitable way of watching a show. I could see why since a majority of older generations don't prefer to use the computer to watch something and they got used to using the TV. To them, everything they need is on the TV such as CP24 to watch news from, SportsCentre to watch sports from, and for the kids, there's YTV. Some people want to watch something different, I mean, I don't think you can watch the content you see on YouTube on TV but you can find the things you want to watch on Shomi or Netflix.

Being able to choose what you want to watch does sound good, but not everything you want to watch will be there. Netflix sometimes doesn't have the latest episodes. You may have to wait a month or so which kind of sucks. I wanted to watch The Walking Dead but the episodes I wanted to watch (a.k.a. the latest episodes) weren't there yet, so that was one thing that the TV had and other streaming programs didn't. But, TV isn't great either. Once you've missed the show you wanted to watch, you'll have to wait until they actually replay it, or find it on Netflix, so it's why I'd much rather prefer that than TV. TV, you better step up yo game.
