What I learned: in the university that I most fit in is in vanderbilt but if i raise my average to 3.6 my chances to getting into princeton are 72%. It is a college i am very interested in. I learned that for getting into good colleges you have to work very hard. I also learned that i have to take school seriously. I am worried of my grade but not of the SAT usually i do well in those tests.

Desmos

https://www.desmos.com/
The purpose of this site as the vision says is to make math fun throughthe right tools and teaches. thry believe  learning is a process of exploration and discovery that is why they created this tool.
The use of this tech tool is very easy. you dont need an account or anything its just on the website, it is like a normal graphing calculator. the basic idea of this tool is you make drawings with lines by making the drawings you learn about equations. You start putting equations one after the other to create the drawings. You can put  a polar graph, plot a point, graph a conic section, and graph a parametric curve. But of course you need to know the math.
Step by step use: go to desmos.com
click on laungh calculator
click on the corner right besides the one
right an equation
each equation you want to add you click on create new expression.
and have fun!!!!

Digital Nations

1.I agree that when people are connected to technology they are at the same place but at the same time they are at different worlds, because your brain cant multitask and if your focused on one thing you ignore what is happening in the outside.
2.I disagree that students are not able to multitask, because of friend's and personal experience
3.I agree with the doctor that reading does better for your brain because of the weight lifting explanation.
4.I disagree that you can get addicted to technology because there are no withdrawal symptoms.
5.I agree that today's world is based and dependent on technology because everything uses technology
6.I agree that technology can lower a persons grades if misused because of personal experience.
7. I agree that internet ethics should be implemented in every school so that the students are able to be responsible.

white hat hacking

I really dont know anything about white hat hacking that is the reason for which i chose this topic.
what is the differnce between white hat hacking and other hackings?
How to do it?
  • white hat hacking is also called, sneakers, ethical hacking, white knights
  • The white hackers are specialized technicians that sure the safety of a companies information.
  • white hacker identify the security weaknesses of a system but don't take advantage of it, they expose so that the system security can be more safe.
  • the term white hat comes from a movie in which the bad guys wore black hats and the good guys wore a white hat.
  • there are some white hackers that are very famous like: Robert Hansen, and Greg  Hoglund
This topic relates to my life in the sense that i want to learn how to hack and i'm usually a white hat but in the case of hacking i would like to be a black hat.

Is white hacking a profitable job?
