Technology impacting presidential elections

Technology has impacted many things but one thing that we have not really thought of is how it affects presidential elections. One thing that really affects that is social media. Social media has transformed how people think about others. They probably like the person but once they see negative things that other people do not like they change their mind instantly and wants to be copy others. Many people do not have kind hearts and they want to write trash about people online and that affects the people who are electing confidence and how they think of themselves. We cannot listen to anything on the media because they try to bring you down and not encourage them. People can spread their opinions on how they feel about certain situations which is fine but many people get carried away. It just changes the public view of the candidates.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

San Juan was a a beautiful place that I will be going back to. Everything about my trip was perfect and the food was the best food I have ever eaten. The beach was gorgeous. The people were very happy and genuine. Everyone had a smile on their face. They love to dance and that is all we did. We were at the beach, ate lots of food, walked around, shopped and saw historic features. El Morro which is a Fort from the 16th century. It was cool but very creepy because you still see blood on the walls and the dungeons. You also said where they hid and where the canyons were. It is awesome but still scary. Anyways Puerto Rico is stunning and you have to go there. You will have the best time.

Cancun, Mexico

Cancun is so pretty. I love Mexico and want to go back. Everything about it is so nice except for the weather. It is way too hot there and I actually got sun poisoning and could not leave the air conditioning for the last couple of days which was horrible. I wore the best sunscreens and that did not even help. I went to Mexico again after that time and it was more fun. The food was incredible and I was in heaven because Mexican food is one of my favorites. The people were genuine and loved to dance. The culture is spectacular and they are very proud of their Mexican heritage and I love to see that. Go to Mexico because I guarantee you will have an amazing time.

Toronto and Niagara Falls (Canada)

Niagara Falls: This place was beautiful. Looking at that waterfall is breathe taking and is kind of scary because of how big and loud it is. You feel little sprinkles of water. In overall it is beautiful.

Toronto is a place I would want to move to. The city is just WOW. There are not any words I can describe it with. Everything there is so modern and I love it. My god father lives there so I go visit there a lot and every time I am just in awe of how gorgeous and clean it is. Everyone walks around with their families and is so happy. I recommend you going there because you will have a blast and there is so much you can do.

Aruba

Aruba was the most fun vacation I have ever been on. The people there are absolutely fantastic and just very happy.It is absolutely paradise and all you want to do is drink a pina colada and lay by the beach. I went snorkeling and we saw so many fish and that is a must have when you go there. We fed them bread and it was just so awesome and such a great first experience. That is one place I would 100% go back there again and again. Everyone loves to have fun and dance there. They are very welcoming and I recommend anyone of any age to go there. You will not want to go home!! It is a very happy place.

Guayaquil, Ecuador

My other love Ecuador is gorgeous. It is such a nice place to relax and enjoy life. Just sit by the beach eating fresh fruit with my family is so nice. My family is from the city but if you drive a couple hours down there will be the most amazing place there called Montanita. It is full of surfers and hippies and just people by the beach. They have really good fresh food and known for how good the fruit is. The city is surrounded by flowers and shops and will make you full of happiness. The mountains are great and you good a full view of Ecuador!!!

Medellin, Colombia

My beautiful country Colombia is so amazing. Not just because my family is from there but in general it is such a fun place to go to. The scenic view is gorgeous. I love seeing all the colorful houses and the food is so good. The best time to go is for Christmas because they have a celebration leading up to Christmas called "alumbrados" which is when they out lights every where and it is all full of colors. The next tradition is to go on a "chiva"which is a party bus and you go to the "alumrados" on it. Everyone is very friendly and loves to dance. My colombian family is passionate about dancing and cooking and it is very common for families to be very focused on that in Colombia. They love having fun and LOVE partying. Colombia is a great place to go to.








Negril, Jamaica

Jamaica was not my favorite place I have been to. I think it is better to go when you are older. I just felt very awkward because a lot of the locals was trying to sell me marijuana when I was at the beach tanning in a private resort. The beaches were incredible but I just wanted to go back home and it was not enjoyable. The food was not my thing. Everything was too crazy and wild for me. I would not go back. The only fun thing was going cliff jumping. The country is beautiful but I like more historical and architectural places a lot more.

Naples, Italy

Naples was the place I was most excited to go on my trip to Europe. I went on a tour and they took us to Salerno. They took us on a boat to the Amalfi Coast and it was breathe taking. The mountains and the little cafes were so cute. You can do so much shopping there.Everyone is so friendly there and welcoming. After we went to Pompeii and it was great but a little too much history for me. It was really cook to see how their town was and you still saw things from that time that was never fixed. It was very hot so I did not really enjoy walking outside for a long time because I felt like I could not breathe but it was a very enjoyable overall experience.

Rome, Italy

Rome Italy was by far my favorite place in Europe besides Barcelona. Being there was such a dream come true.The Colosseum was gorgeous and so was the Roman Forum. My favorite part we visited in Rome was the beautiful Vatican City right near the Trevi Fountain. It was incredible being there where the pope is. There was sooooo many people and the lines to get in took hours. It wrapped around the whole square. There was the most amazing gelato place near by but closer to the Trevi Fountain. The architecture in Rome was insanely amazing and the food was delicious (lasagna & tomato with mozzerella). Everything in Rome was perfection and I cannot wait to go back.

Florence, Italy

When I went to Florence I was not that impressed because the only place I really went to was the leaning tower of Pisa. I did not see anything inside Florence but I am sure it is beautiful. My experience going to the leaning tower was pretty cool but did not exceed my expectations. There was a lot of people trying to make you buy stuff while you are entering and I felt a little uncomfortable. When we finally got in it was full of people and was hard to take pictures. The tower was beautiful though. After that we went to a little local cafe where they sell wine and gelato. I had coconut gelato and I was in heaven it was so creamy and tasty. My parents had wine and they loved it. The people were absolutely incredible and was kind hearted. My trip in Florence was very short but once I go back I will focus mainly on Florence not Tuscany (leaning tower) was. \

Palma de Mallorca, Spain

Palma de Mallorca was very beautiful. It was a fairy tale there. All the architecture and looking out to the ocean was incredible. The little restaurants and shops on the streets were so cozy I felt like it was home there. The people were so kind and welcomed us extremely well. My favorite part was going to the cathedral. Most of the things were made out of gold and all the details in there left me shocked and amazed of how gorgeous it was. I was a little disturbed when we went to the bull range because I was just thinking about all those bulls dying. After we stopped at a pearl factory and I got pearl earring and necklace and they are incredibly stunning. There is so much shopping to do there it is great, especially for us girls.

                    here are some pictures:

Barcelona, Spain

My dream came true right when I stepped on European land and it was the most amazing place every called Barcelona, Spain. I was such in awe of how beautiful the culture is and it had the most amazing architecture. The lifestyle was so chill and most people were nice. There was so many things to do. To going to the "Sagrada Familia" to "Camp Nou (FC Barcelona soccer stadium)" it was such an awesome experience.

 I am very picky when it comes to food but I had the most delicious flavorful "paella". There was so much seafood in it. As much as the food was great the dessert was not good at all.

My favorite part of Barcelona was just walking around the streets and every part having a historic feature.

                        Here are some pictures below that I have when my family and I visited:

Google Glass

Google Glass: A great piece of technology

A piece of technology that really caught my eye is the Google glass. I have heard about it but never knew what it actually is. It really is an awesome piece of technology. The Google glass looks like a pair of glasses but does smartphone things. It includes WiFi and Bluetooth. You can make phone calls, emails and even take pictures.

Google glasses is great for people who are always on the go. It knows when you are leaving work to go home and warns you about traffic or even if a flight is delayed. It will also give you the scoreboards for sports or news,

Google glass is a piece that is very advanced in technology. I bet there is something even better to come for google glasses. Here are some pictures below of  "Google Glass".

Digital Design: Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs: An inventor

My favorite person in the technology field has to be Steve Jobs because he encouraged his friend to sell his computer that he designed called Apple and once you know it the computer became famous and they were only in high school and were already becoming successful.

After Steve Jobs left Apple was going down hill and the market fell while trying to release new operating systems. When he returned Jobs made the company so much better. He drove the company deeper to electronics and  marketing and made more things in Apple such as the laptop and IPhone.

Steve Jobs is someone everyone knows because he made the "technology" world so much better and it is advancing everyday.
