How to Get Along Online :)

Three things I've learned and know on how to "get along" online :

• Come off as welcoming when you’re meeting new people, pay attention to hat they say and always make eye contact.
• Be understanding when it comes to conversations through text, things read/typed may come off a certain way because there isn’t really a way to show true emotion through just text.
• Be courteous in every conversation you encounter, even though they are not there in person, face-to-face, they are still taking the time out their day to talk with you and listen to you.

________________________________________________________________

In the short story,”The Pedestrian”, by Ray Bradbury, we the audience get that glance into the year of 2053.  Leonard Mead has been going on very long walks ‘till midnight for years of his life.  Mr. Mead lives all alone, the only pedestrian in his neighborhood, and has never seen any other person ever walk outside.  A police car stops him and asks him a series of question, this is this only police car left.  Eventually they made him enter the care despite his protest and Leonard Mead realizes there is no driver, the car is automated.  Bradbury expresses his tone of loneliness and sarcasm.  This tones are showed when the car policeman asks, “Are you married Mr. Mead?”, Leonard replies, “Not married, nobody wanted me.”

Same Words Different People

2 things I learned from my group about our vocabulary :

1. Some definitions were just pulled off the internet and weren't comprehended. 
2. We all had the same words.  After talking about them, I realized how we all have a different perspective on things.  For example, with virus I thought of diseases and sicknesses, however some interpreted it was an infection that any electronical device can receive.
