While establishing a website may seem intimidating, it really simplifies the process as much as possible, while still presenting the viewer with options (such as various host sites).

Recently, several apps were discussed that allowed individuals to utilize the tool of virtual reality. This is just one additional aspect to the amazing world of technology as we know it today. One app, in particular, is called Space Needle .This app essentially uses the actual Space Needle landmark, and allows users to view the perspective that actually visiting the Space Needle offers via virtual reality. This feature is ideal for those who have a fear of heights (AKA me). Through this virtual reality technology, you don't even have to leave your bed to have the experience. Another app that utilizes virtual reality is Google Cardboard . This app allows users to use the lenses to view apps that are compatible with Google Cardboard in a virtual reality sense.

It is an undeniable fact that the Internet is a vastly growing sensation. New websites are constantly being created, more content is being produced, and ultimately new businesses are being established and are thriving. The Internet is essentially an interminable world of opportunities with many great websites to take advantage of. One of the main platforms that has been used widely by both professionals and students alike is LinkedIn . Similar to other social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, it is a platform that allows for networking between companies and people. However, LinkedIn is special in the sense that it enforces this networking through a professional manner (again, making it ideal for businesses to use). The layout of this site is very similar to Facebook in that you create a profile with your statistics inputted. You then have the option to incorporate your connections from your email onto the site or you can choose to find your connections based on your statistics.

It is such a helpful tool when trying to search for and organize material. There are several tools available that help with content curation, but one in particular that we discussed about in class is Paper.li . This particular type of content curation esse

It's with no question that Google is arguably the Internet's #1 most used tool.

Essentially, Google is literally its own world within the world of the Internet. One of the most utilized tools, both in academia and in the workplace, is Google Docs.
