Telepresence Technology
I think that this is a pretty neat invention, and obviously it's working very well for those kids, but I do see some possible flaws with it. I think that if it became too widely spread it could very easily be misused by students, not to mention the cost. I also don't think that it's an adequate substitute for real human interaction and would add to our laziness and our NEED for technology as a society.
Social Networking
Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram; they're all ways to express yourself and share your life with the web. I personally only use Facebook because I think Twitter would be annoying and I don't have a nice enough phone to use Instagram. Although I use Facebook it's not very important to me. I get on every once in a while to check my notifications, but I rarely do anything else. I do get a strange sense of satisfaction from poking people though; I do that quite a bit. The most productive thing I do on there is to document my life through photos. How neat!

Lance Armstrong
Honestly, I feel like it's not as big of a deal as people are making it. In the world of sports today way too many people are "doping," especially in baseball, running, and cycling. Lance is far from being the only athlete that has used performance enhancing techniques. I do feel like he needs to face punishments; I believe stripping him of his medals and titles is enough though. He doesn't need all the media attention and criticism he is receiving.
He was still an AMAZING athlete. "Doping" doesn't make you a superstar. There were probably hundreds of cyclists that had been "doping" during those races and they didn't win. True, the way that he went about winning was wrong, but that doesn't change the fact that he would have had to have also been an incredible athlete.
I also have a lot of respect for what he did with a lot of his money. He has founded and helped to build a foundation that has helped millions fighting cancer. There are plenty of other athletes that have made their career and money from "cheating" that haven't done nearly as much as Lance has (ex. Barry Bonds.) And that is all I have to say about that.

Welcome to my Blog!
Honestly, I have no idea what my name means. My mom saw it in a baby name book and she liked it. My favorite flavor of ice cream is vanilla because you can make whatever you want out of it! If I had a million dollars I would probably do a lot of traveling; other than that I probably wouldn't do much. I would probably donate a good amount of it to charities and put the rest in the bank. I would like to live a normal lifestyle.
