So today is the last day of my Internet tools and techniques class. I learned so many great things that made a difference in the way I use the computer. Some cool features that I learned about using the computer are Mozilla Firefox and using color tabs. Although color tabs don't play a major role in how you browse the Internet,it does have an appeal to the browsing experience. Also I learned about shopping online and how to protect yourself from scammers. Being as though I already know about shopping online because I sell stuff online, I know what to do to protect myself online. One important thing I learned about Internet tools and techniques is how to blog about things you are interested in. Overall, I enjoyed the class and I will miss everyone. A personal dedication to each person in my class:
Professor Harry: I'm going to miss your sarcasm and funny jokes, the times when you slipped up and I felt it was necessary for me to slip some soap in your mouth. Overall I had a good time serving as your student
Latosha: Girl I'm going to miss our little chats and laughter. Everytime I bring food you'd say ooo what chu got up in that bag? I always shared with you. Also, I enjoyed being around you and laughing and having a good ol jolly time
Justin: Sigh....Where Do i even begin? I remember everybody clowned you because you got stuck in your grandmother's car. I always would horseplay with you. Yea yea I still miss you, no details on the blog lol. Im going to miss your ADHD having self. You are the most random person i've ever met. I still dont think youre faster than me, but overall I still got love for ya bud
I'LL MISS YOU ALL :) <3

My Favorite Recipe
As many people know, I have a strong passion for cooking and above here is my most famous dish. I call this creation Oprah's Huneyy Hawt Wingz!. I have introduced this dish to the taste buds of many and watch them devour it in satisfaction. The flavor consists of both sweetness and a hint of spice. Sounds nice eh?
Since I am a nice person and all, I'll list my recipe but....Im not going to tell you how to do it that's the tricky part.
The recipe is as follows:
1 bag of Chicken drumsticks
Louisiana Hot Sauce
Brown Sugar/White Sugar
Honey
1 tb. spoon of cayenne pepper
Parsley
Green Onion (for garnish)

Technology:The secret feature phones have that our carriers never told us about
In recent times, millions of phones have been secretly slapped with a software by the name of Carrier IQ. Carrier IQ is a software that quietly and seamlessly logs everything that the user does on the phone. It logs all information including the simplest things such as pressing keys and returning to the home screen, information that we find useless gets sent back to the manufacturer. The disturbing part about the software is that it even collects personal and sensitive information such as the content of our text messages and every single website that the user visits. Although this seems like it is invading the users privacy rights, carriers claim that this is a tool which supposedly plays a big role in helping them to assess and troubleshoot their networks. It doesn’t stop just yet, in previous years and now there has been a recording app which remained under the radar until security researchers were able to identify it. Because of the recording app, Carrier IQ has raised many eyebrows and set off many privacy and security alarms.
When this was brought to media attention, this showed how little we as smartphone users monitor what goes on with our devices. On estimate, research showed that Carrier IQ is on over 150 million devices. AT&T and Sprint are reported and have confirmed that handsets on their networks use Carrier IQ to transmit information back to them. On the other hand T-Mobile never confirmed any questions but according to researchers, devices on their networks utilize the tool as well. Verizon, on the good note, was able to confirm that none of their devices were accessed by Carrier IQ.
