 Questions:

1)How did you spend your time differently?

Writing

Jennette (My organ Teacher):

1) How did you spend your time differently? 

Reading and practicing the organ and an instrument called the Gamba

2) What things were harder to do?

    Finding information was harder.  You had to leave the house and go to the library to do research, unless your family had a set of encyclopedias. Information was not at our fingertips.  Now you can Google a subject and you can find tons of informaion quickly without leaving your house

3)What things are easier to do?

Communicate with people across town and around the world.

4)What would you change about the internet?

I would like it to provide more personal security. I don’t like it that my personal information is readily available to anyone on the internet who wants to look.

2) What things were harder to do?

I think it was harder to talk to people who were far away or spoke another language.

 3)What things were easier to do?

It was easier to meet your neighbors and see people face to face.

4)What would you change about the internet?

I would make it so everyone has the same version.
