Why I Opened My PS3

To fix it. So I thought. What happens when you go to diagnose a problem but have no clue what to do? You start digging. You check everything until you find something wrong. I jumped straight to the inside and opened it. Which didn't help at all. The problem was that my Hard drive was corrupted, and corrupted past the point of where the PS3 could fix itself. but it was still interesting to see what was on the inside. Now when I see it the PS3 I don't think of the smooth outside but the complex inside with all the wild mechanisms. This also has taught me to look deeper past what I see on the outside and look at the inside, or true meaning of things.
Long story short, my PS3 was broken/inactive for about a year or two. To fix it I deleted everything and decided that i could always restart everything. Once I formatted the Hard drive, which is just deleting everything, the PS3 restarted and it ways like it was brand new.

On the Inside

I believe that everyone should see the inside of some of the devices they use. This way they can appreciate the complexity of the devices they use. One time I opened my PlayStation 3, I learned there was a lot of things in there that I didn't understand their functions. There so much extra stuff in there that I never thought was in there. All of our devices seem so simple until we actually stop to think about all they do. Then we begin to understand that our electronic products have even more value than we see them as. Maybe then we will better protect them, and maybe then people will find more interesting and unique ways to innovate towards something even greater.

Thing-link

Think-link was very simple, yet unique and fun to do. It was like a presentation but without slides. Having the ability to put all of the information on one page made seem short but you have the ability to input a lot of information. I also believe that with Thing-link you are able to draw the attention of viewers by having a strong background image such as the Think-link example of the moon, space, and stars. My Thing-link only uses a basic picture of the school, but you still get the feeling that you know more about it because you've seen the actual building. Think-link should be introduced to teachers so they can import them into their teaching methods. This way students can be more engaged in what the the class's topics.

The mood

So currently I'm in the mood to catch up on some of these blog entries, yet I don't know why. Its late Thanksgiving night but it seems like a good time to do a few. I realized that many people are on social medias late at night. I believe summing up your day makes you feel better as you're not holding in all those emotions you felt during the day. This is not the case for me and these blog entries but I see it as true for those using Facebook. I also see the same on Snapchat when people give a short description of there day before falling asleep. Its like a habit that most teens have, and don't even acknowledge it. Adults have a slightly different habit. Rather than venting their feelings at the end of the day, they post them on social media immediately after experiencing intense feelings. Teens also do the same but usually I see adults posts on Facebook during the day, and rarely at the end of the day. How does this effect us, I have no clue. But maybe its a sign that many teens seek comfort at night after a difficult day. Or that teens want a person they can tell their feelings to, and those feelings burst out at the end of a long stressful day. When do I post on social media? Basically never. I don't need everyone to see my emotions. Thats why I struggle with journal entries and blog entries. It just seems unnecessary to me, but some people like doing it, and I find no reason to judge them.

Blog Idea

I kinda hate my blog and it looks completely new to me since I haven't looked at in a long time. I haven't gotten any page visits either so I guess its cool. I don't like the idea of me having to explain personal thoughts and ideas that i come up with. Im not so good at it. Which is why I don't do good on journaling. I feel like our school should all have on blog that everyone can look at. The blog can have stuff like upcoming school events and news about the SWW community. This would help put everyone on the same page about things happening at school so no on will be left out of school events. But in the end my opinion doesn't matter. I'd need a group of people maintaining the blog but I can't think of anyone who would want to. Even I am busy with work and school.

Currently

I have not been able to come to class for a few weeks and I've fallen behind. I also haven't gotten an assignments to do for people with technology issues. I haven't even had anybody I know ask me any questions about anything technology related. I've recently joined another organization that takes place right before DS2 starts making it difficult to come to class on time. Luckily the school is in a peaceful period in which the help desk in not needed as much. This is because teachers have started the year printing out papers, rather than sending assignments via Google Classroom. This is already becoming an issues as the school has used a large about of paper. Over 10 "cases" according to Idonia the principle. I hadn't even realized that doing things "the old fashion way," is not only more physical work but a more expensive choice. The help desk will be soon needed again. Once teachers become annoyed with the physical work of the old fashion way, and the constant pressure from the principle. In the meanwhile I believe the we should be focusing on ways to make the helpdesk more organized and stable. We should familiarize all the teachers with the ticketing system along with other software systems we plan to take a part in. We should also take current inventories as it is the beginning of the year so we can really tell what has changed by the end. Overall this is the time in which the helpdesk can help itself and make sure when we are needed we can help other to the best of our abilities.
