Websites

My favorite websites include: Modcloth, YouTube, and a Swedish blog called Niotillfem. Modcloth is a cool clothing website because it shows every angel of the clothing showcased. They also give each item a backstory, tell what fabrics they are made out of, give measurements, and allow the website users to rate the articles of clothing. They is a blog attached and a tab that allows the members of the website to vote on the next article of clothing that will be made. This website is exciting and appealing because it is quite clean looking and the color palate mostly consists of bright pastels. If I could make my own website it would allow people to social network while ahowcasing articles of clothing. To explain; my website would sell clothing and allow people to make suggestions as to how to make it better. I would also allow people to send in samples of their own work and if it were good enough I would sell it on the site and give the proceeds to the desiger. They would also be a lookbook and blog tab attached. So that the peoplecould take photos of themselves in their version of the clothing and the people who worked at my website could also post their opinions about fashion. Every holiday their would be a twenty minute period where every article of clothing would be 75% off, therefore allowing people to get the outfits they want the most (because most online stores are expensive).

Living without technology?

Technology is not absolutely necessary but it is definately a huge time saver and helps to regulate the flow of life. If I didn't have technology I would probably be more stressed out (believe me I don not need anymore stree). If we didn't have any technology a mass number of people would die. We desperatly need technology to help us to do surgeries and to regulate our body temperatures. Without technology we wouldn't have as many resources to help us to cool of in the summer so more people would probably suffer from heat stroke. But I think it would be rather nice if we didn't have any cars because then we could ride bikes everywhere. Although having no technology would definatly work against me and my future. This is because it would be a lot harder for me to stay in touch with my friends and family. This might cause all of us to grow apart. I also would get less sleep because I would only use books to do homework. Technology is very important to have for the classroom because it helps us to get information quicker and more effciently. It also helps us to learn more and to have access to more examples of the information we are learning.
