Would You Trade Your Paper Books for Digital Versions?
Write three paragraphs supporting your opinion.
Tell us your thoughts on the growing offerings in digital books and textbooks.
- I would continue using paper books because it is the traditional way. I wont knock the idea of using an Ipad, r e-reader but kid’s always get distracted from the initial topic and they won’t focus on their work. People are saying that kids shouldn’t spend much time in the computer or on the phone, and by turning our books from paper to electronically it’s just not helping out at all.
If everything is electronically based we are more dependent on technology, and we become lazy as individuals, and as a people. I think the paper books are very important because it forces the person to actually sit down and read. With e-reader it is possible to just look up the summary of a book, and people still do it with the paperbacks so whats to say that things will change. Reading is a choice and people will either read or not.

Would you speak up if you saw someone being bullied online? Why or why not? Would you speak up if you saw someone being bullied in school? Why or why not?
- I would definitely speak up for someone if i saw them being bullied because it is wrong. Anyone who is bullying someone has been bullied and they feel that it is only right to continue the pattern. Online bullying doesn't make matters better, it make the person being bullied feel like they are not safe online or outside in the real world. The most important reason why i would speak up is because bullying can effect people for the rest of their lives; it makes tem feel like they dont belong and they began to isolate themselves from the world. No one should have to endure the emotional, an physical pain of bullying.

I think people who use the computer to say unkind things are usually cowards. They use the computer to say these unkind things because they are scared to say it in public. The computer may be an escape for cyber-bullies.It is best to ignore cyber threats. Otherwise report it to an trusted adult.
If someone said something i didn't like to me on the computer, or telephone, i would be very offended and would find away to solve my problem. The easier the problem is solved then the easier it will be to forget and move on. There is reason to hold an internet grudge against someone. You will eventually have to face that person in public.
There is really no difference between the computer and a telephone. They are both very different way of communication, that can still be used for bullying. In many cases the telephone, and the computer are still ways to communicate with people and are still very dangerous ways of Stalking.
