Digital Story 3 Narrative

Nine eleven was a tragedy , killing many in New York City , but it devastated people all over the world . There are still a lot of questions never answered from that terrible day . There are many people never found , but assumed dead . That day of 9/11 , I was in 1st grade . The phone rang to my classroom & instantly , the look changed on my teachers face . From that moment on , multiple other calls were made to my class with news of students getting picked up . This day changed many lives , both young & matured . There were over 2 , ooo people killed when a plane crashed into main attraction buildings called the Twin Towers , known for being two similar sized building standing next to each other & built at the same time . But , not only one plane hit , there was another . This other plane crashed into the parts of the towers that the first plane failed to hit .  Instantly after the crash , smoke filled New York . Everyone couldn't see , couldn't breathe . Debri was falling from the towers , crashing down on everything around . The worst thing though , was the jumpers . Yes , the people who couldn't get out of the building that just decided to jump . People have stated that the only smell that day , was the smell of dead bodies & smoke . There were about 5 hijackers on each plane , each related to Al-Qaeda . Since this day , we celebrate the lives of those whom we've lost on 9/11 . People have created art , movies , & books . Since then , a yellow ribbon represents our respect for those lost & the troops that George W Bush sent to " keep Iraq in check . I believe the day Bush sent the troops , is the day he lost the rest of the people who believed in him & their respect . Specially since claims were made that Bush had warnings , but did not act on it . Did this day bring the US apart or closer together ? I think closer , because we all unite as one to show appreciation for troops , loved ones , & those who aren't with us anymore .

Digital Story Two !

This is a video about how technology has helped or hurt people . So . . . positive & negative effects .

Story Two Narrative

     Many people would disagree with my opinions on technology , but maybe if you know why I feel this way , your thoughts could change . Throughout the years , technology has become more & more a part of people's everyday life . People have become so consumed with technology , that most of my generation doesn't know the meaning of true work . Although people can list many positive reasons technology should be available to the everyday people , I can list a lot of negative as well . One main reason you can say that it is mostly negative could be how many have been harassed , cyber stalked , and cyber bullied online . Not a lot of us know how to have manners apparently . Behind the screen , most think it's easier to say what you want , say how you feel , & act how you wish you could have the guts to in real life . Thinking that nothing you say or do would get back to you from the internet & so on , is a big part of why I am against some technology . If you don't know how to use it , you should not be allowed . Many children have been pursued by older men or women due to online chat rooms as well . Everyone seems to want to pretend they are another age , until they get kidnapped , raped , or killed . Using technology has opened a door to more than the population can handle . Scams have been a big part of technology today as well , because it's so easy to make fake websites , fake businesses & more . Even things like rumors about celebrities have shown up through the internet , which can ruin their careers & even though it may sound dramatic , their lives . A big part of my opinion comes from the car accidents leading to serious injury or death from texting . There are studies that actually show accident rates have gone up . Also , most of the time , it is shown that texting while driving or talking on the phone while driving , could be worse than driving drunk . A small portion of negative thoughts come from the little fact that most people pretend to listen to you while being on the phone , but they don't . On top of that , most people have gotten so use to using social networks such as Facebook , myspace , & Xanga , that they don't have proper social skills in person . Now most people think " hanging out " with their friends , can be considered as talking through networks like these . Even Aim , Yahoo , & Skype have been used to connect to friends too . A couple positives could be how doctors use technology , scientists use technology , & even dentists . Research has benefitted many . Also , relatives who were " long lost " could find each other easier to re - connect . Tracking devices have helped find kids or cars as well . Other than those , technology has not helped in many ways other than to mass produce creating pollution from factories , & to make our lives too simple , yet too complicated at the same time . It's funny how technology could bring a person closer to death , & save someone's life .
