Data downloading
                Downloading videos is a big part of internet activities. We all do look at videos from You Tube, Google, or Yahoo. I learned some interesting aspects in CISW 11. I learned that when you download a video the recording is being downloaded using the streaming technique. I think that learning this concept is good to have because knowing what is going on in your computer is essential so you are well inform of all aspects of your machine. Also, I learned the difference between a GIF and JPEG format. GIF are a smaller file size than JPEG. So, GIF will download to your computer much faster than JPEG. Having this knowledge is nice to have because I will know why certain files have a longer to download time than others. In addition, I learned some aspects of JavaScript. I found out that JavaScript is an object-oriented scripting language. JavaScript gives websites a more pleasant appeal by making the site more interactive. Learning about JavaScript makes me more interesting in finding more about this computer language.

Searching For Information
                Searching the internet is an art form. When you Google a subject you get the top five results.  However, there are times when your results do not help you in your intended findings. So, you may need to get some help to find the exact results you are trying to find.  I learned that such experts are available and you can seek their help. They are librarians. Like, the Mt. SAC librarians are available to your every need to find certain topics over the internet. This knowledge is useful to in the future since almost everyone must construct a report for a professor or employer so these experts are at your disposal to search for critical information over the internet.


Citations
                  I found out there are three citation techniques. They are APA, MLA, and CMS. APA stands for American Psychological Association. APA is mostly used in humanities papers.  The other two are CMS =Chicago Manual of Style and MLA= Modern Language Association. These are useful techniques because in every profession people we need to construct reports for their teachers or employers. You could use the citation machine to help you cite your sources so; you would not be accused of not crediting the correct sources. 


Communicating over the Internet
                Using the email feature of the internet has some unique techniques. You can apply emotions or the three letter acronyms (TLAs) to your email. First, emotions are typed symbols to stand for certain emotions within a person. For example, =^D stands for big grin, =^* stands for kisses, :( stands for sad, and .:( stands for crying. These emotional symbols express the composer by using shorthand. TLAs can emailbe letters or numbers that represent certain phases. For instance, 2 stands for to, 411 stands for information, ASAP stands for soon as possible, and ASL stands for age sex location. These tools make emailing easier and more fun because I can use these shortcuts to make communicating over the internet simpler. Also, these tools are useful now and in the future since emailing will not become extinct any time soon. Therefore, I learned the existence of these techniques through CISW 11.
