My Little Nephew:)

I have a nephew, his name is Micheal.  He's so cute and  he does not want to be left alone.

We are very lucky to have him in our family.  He reminds me those old days when my children were babies. Micheal is so smart when he was two weeks he already knew the difference between natural and artificial milk.

At six weeks he started to move his eye balls to follow everyone's movement and cry whenever no one was around him. Micheal started responding to sound by replying with adorable noises.

Micheal traveled back to his family in Italy and he's five month now. We all miss our little Micheal!!!

Entry#3. Wall-E!!

When I saw the clip I thought it was an interesting entertainment. The way it  illustrated humans was very different from reality. It made life revolve around technology, which is in some way true. However, our world is not that crazy about technology. We still have dates and face to face conversations. 

It is very depressing to think of a world that simply relies on technology. There were no real trees and flowers. Everywhere was surrounded by computers, lights, and robots. People just drove themselves to their next daily activities without looking around. It looked lifeless. There was also no individualism; everybody looked the same. They all wore the same red outfit.

The clip is relevant to certain extents. Nowadays, we do rely on technology. We all drive ourselves, call our friends, and watch television. In fact, our lives would not be the same without all the technology we daily use. Yet, we still interact with each other. We have not forgotten how important it is to socialize and enjoy each other's company. Unlike us, the people in the clip submerged their lives with technology. They still talked to each other, but through screens. 

I loved the woman reaction after Wall-E unplugged her from her computer. She was so amazed at what was going on outside of her conversation. She looked around amazed at how the world actually looked. It was sad to watch how she had never really noticed anything that went around her. Moreover, the scene were the young man fell out of his car was interesting. The guy could not get up on his own, he was basically helpless on his own. I don't think our world will ever get to that point. 

Entry #2. Technology!!!

Videos on technology:

Nowadays technology may appear ordinary and common. However, technology has changed and drastically improved since the 1900's. When I was child there was no such thing as the 'Internet'. I had to walk to the library to complete my assignments and get information. While my kids simply utilize Google. The generational gap between my children and I is not enormous, but the technological gap is indescribable. The two links above are videos that show how technology has transformed our world. The human race has undergone a huge transition in the last century with computers breaking every limit and making every dream a possibility. If technology continues to improve at the current rate, the sky is the limit. 

The second link above shows how families have been affected by technology. As I viewed the video it was very realistic. The old and huge television screen became a flat screen television; while the teenage daughter began to text her friends. Society has changed due to technology. For example, thanks to cars, washing machines, cellphones, and plains people are able to save time. No one has to waste moths to travel to other countries. Even posting this post reflects the effects of technology!

                                           INTRODUCTION

Hi, my name is Rebecca Betiku and I was born in West Africa. I have lived there most of my life, and after I got married I moved to Italy. I have three children, two teenagers and a twelve year old. I love them! I also have two dogs and five fishes. My dogs are named Hero and Cute. 








I love helping the needy. If I happened to be a rich person I would have touched the world. However, since I am a middle class woman I try my best to help in the every way that I can. For example, I have an adopted child in Tanzania she's my twelve year old daughter. She is adorable and I am blessed to be able to help her.




My favorite thing to do is hanging out with my family and friends. I also love traveling!! I have been in many countries in Europe and Africa. I have been to:

• London
• Germany
• Austria
• Egypt
• Nigeria
• Ghana
• France
• Italy (Venice, Sicily, Rome, Palermo, Milan, Verona)
• America (Arizona, Maryland, Texas, Los Angeles, Las Vegas)

My goal in Glendale Community College is pursuing my degree.

Entry #1. All about blogs!

       Blogs are ways individuals and groups of people share their personal opinions, activities of daily living, and information on a regular basis. There are mainly three types of blogs: professional, corporate, and personal. Professional blogs are informative. They inform people about jobs, books, cooking, and any type of professional career or hobby. Their language and format are instructive. Corporate blogs combine both personal and professional information. Personal blogs are used to share personal information. The authors are sharing their entrepreneurial ideas and personal life events with whomsoever wants to know. They're tone are friendly, and the audience are friends and family members.

• I really liked Kelly's fun recipes at http://www.eat-yourself-skinny.com/ . Not only did she have good recipes but she was also able to nicely share her personal life. Her tone and language was welcoming and friendly. 
•  I did not really like the Fast Lane blog (http://fastlane.gmblogs.com/ ). It only focused on cars and I'm not a fan of cars. I thought it was boring and very repetitive. The audience are people interest in cars and the new models. 
• I also enjoyed reading the shootingallens blog (http://shootingallens.posterous.com/). It was interesting and funny to read the posts, because their children were so cute. However, it would have been more interesting if I knew them personally. It would have added more impression.
