Freak (not done)

Animals call me weird, different, Humans try to hurt me, but I am just me. Part tiger. Part human. I’m so different. I understand when they, tigers and humans, talk to me. I understand every species. People call me freak, but I not a freak. I’m just different. Many times my halves try to hurt me. When I was seven, the people that I that I thought were close to me and my family tried to exterminate us because we were all “freaks”. But my parents were different kind of “freaks”. They can change in to what animal they want to be. But that one time, when those things happen to them, they couldn’t control it. That’s when people discover who they really were. And everything changed.


My parents want to be “normal”. They pretended to be like humans. I was very little then. I always wanted to leave the house we lived in but they wouldn’t let me leave for my protection. I never understood why they said that. Then one day I looked out the window and saw them running. People cops were running after then. Shooting at them and I didn’t know why. They changed them selves in to cheetahs so they could run faster and ran in to the house. I hid under my bed hoping everything will be over. I can't remember what happen after that. I'm was alone, hiding in the forest. I wanted was to be with my parents again. I still want to know what is wrong with me. Where are my parents? What happen to my parents? What the heck is going on right now?!

Now I know how to change mysef to any animal for a short amount of time. I can't live with the humans yet. I still live in the forest with my new family but (not done)

Emerging Technologies

In a relatively short period of time, our world has changed dramatically because of the creation in 1969 of a small computer network known as ARPANET.
Web sites have evolved over time. First generation sites were static—no interactivity. They included basic structures. Second generation sites included intuitive, user-friendly navigation systems, focused on the content, and animation—blinking text, moving banners, animated images, etc. Since businesses were now online, there was much more interaction than with first generation sites. Third generation sites addressed their audiences based on their objectives, which drove the design and structure. Splash pages were popular, as was the use of cascading style sheets, portals, and forms. These sites focused on content and were easily navigated. Fourth generation sites are participatory and highly interactive. They provide richer experiences for their users. Site designers take full advantage of the new tools of Web 2.0. They frequently include wikis, blogs, podcasts, webcasts, and Web services. Standards are being developed for mobile users of the Web to make their online experience productive and efficient.
E-commerce has exploded because of the popularity of the World Wide Web and the new technologies that have been developed. An example of a new technology the we are using in our classroom is using a BLOG to form journal entries.
