Influence of Technology
The title of my project is, “Top Five Technologies” The purpose of this assignment was to see what we thought was the five most influential technologies in our lives. I chose my most influential technologies randomly because I believe they are too many to name. So I chose the first five that popped in my head. One of the images I chose was of soap. I think soap is important because without soap people would stank, perfume wouldn't help people and dishes and clothes would never be washed. Anther one I chose was plastic and silver-wear because silver is good for cooking and eating food without having to use your hands. And plastic-wear is for taking outside the house, not having to wash dishes and for parties. These are just two of the five technologies I chose. I chose to design my prezi in the shape of a circle because it was simple and plain, but not too simple. Through this design, I was able to better communicate what my most influential technologies are.
I was inspired by no one but myself when I was making my prezi. This shows I don't really look up to other people's art if it doesn't exceed something I couldn't do. Through the use of prezi people able to better see who I am. I used prezi techniques to make my presentation. I use to use imovie to make my presentation. I also used to use keynote and photoshop too. I used garage band to help make my prezi. When the audience saw my prezi they thought it was okay.
I had a number of benchmarks goals to reach as steps to completing my project. First I started the prezi. Next I tried asking for help, but Morgan is not a very good teacher so he barely helped me. So I got help from other students like Marcel. Then I was finished but I knew it could be better so I changed it around a little. Finally I was done and I tried helping other people with their prezi. No one said anything about my project could be better. My teacher also wasn't there. But I did well so it should matter.
Through the completion of this project I learned that I am slow of learning how to use computer and I love to make beats. I learned my greatest strength was music because I am very good composing it. My greatest weakness was being retarded and not knowing how to use prezi at all. At first I was lost and the teacher did not help. If I could do this project again I would choose a different song.

Reflecting for BGP/GP

- narrative- talking from the authors' point of view. Heather then realized that her family came for her.
- myth- a unproven story. When it rains it means God is crying.
- motif-a theme or idea. Today, we are focusing on all the good things in life.
- archetype-an original pattern. Mon. Do hair, wash face, brush teeth Tues. Do hair wash face brush teeth. Wed........
- apotheosis-a worshipped person. That little girl in this one counrty was worshipped for being a princess and they actually sacrificed people for her.
- threshold-still of doorway.
- atonement-satisfied
- boon-something to be thankful for
- mundane-a routine
