Reflection: "From One Second to the Next"
As soon as a car accident strikes, your life changes in a second. The documentary by Wegner Hezog interviewing individuals that experienced the destruction of driving and texting. These people bear with the struggles of what happened to them or to others in car crashes involving driving and texting.
This impacts people to react towards driving and texting. This impacts us to take action and awareness of the effects that driving and texting brings. Taking actions as speaking up like the individuals in the documentary is a way to prevent drivers cause a car accident because they were texting. The individuals in the documentary were affected that the injuries they have can't heal. Charles hit an Amish family's carriage with his van , he had just looked up at his crashed front window from reading his last text. That experience for him was hard and heartbreaking to deal with. He was forgiven by the father of the Amish family and he wished him luck for his family. Reggie had a similar experience.
Overall, the impact of driving and texting devastates lives. People should stop and think before making the decision of texting while driving. It clearly seen in this documentary that driving and texting costs lives and a long way to heal the guilt. "From One Second to the Next" relates to us to many experiences and teach us one simple thing: don't text and drive at the same time.
Reflection
This concept- Texting and driving - is less then innocuous, in a profound quaninity of situations, this has ultimaity resulted in death or severe harm. Quite truthfully, the after-math isn't considerable, nor welcomed. To define fear; an oncoming vehicle advancing, in an unstable manner, towards oneself.
Granting, an unfathomable extent of damage, and price deprivation. Overall, there's a possible life constriction replicating a similar experiance. Death beckons those who trek this perilous path, for both the driver, and victim.

From one second to the next
On the documentary it talked about the people and how they killed innocent people just because texting and driving.nthis is a very but very powerful because it shows actual people who had been in the proses. In my personal opinion it impacted me because every time I see people and they are texting and driving.mi think about their life's and how are they going be in the future and if they are even going to live because it is a huge distraction.
Frontline: Growning up on the Internet
Frontline: Growing Up Online

Overtime technology has been becoming more updated and has grown tremulously very fast over the years. Within the document it explains how throughout the Internet on many sites teens are allowed the opportunity to live and have several personas that would do not go along with who they really are. They purposely have different personas compared to their real life because they know that if indeed the parents were aware of what they did on the Internet the parents would no longer grant them access to it.
Having children/teens grow up on the Internet or grow up with access to such undated technology they don't all use it for the same reasons, although some may use it similar in some ways not every single person out there will use the Internet for. The exact same thing. For some kids will use their alternate personas to try and sprit in with others and have friends, in the second story it tells a story of a girl names Jessica who seemed to be depressed and felt very out of place. She began to live the life of a goth girl online and seen that she had began to gain friends. Like mentioned before On how parents would not like having their children be someone else in the Internet, Jessica also kept her secret identity from her parents because she knew they would also be very judge mental. This alternate identity did not last long once one of Jessica's teachers saw an explicit picture of her on the Internet, she than called her parents and that was the end of Jessica's gothic persona. This is a problem because when kids are at school most of the time they're depressed and feel out of place when kids around them downgrade them and bully them. The Internet is then a door for those who get bullied to see how it is to be popular and like able.
This ties in with the problem of having Internet safety and warning kids about how to use the internet appropriately because a big problem with it now of days goes along with how Jessica got caught. Explicit photos and content on the Internet is a major problem because in generations today, more and more kids think it's cool, funny, and use it as revenge to post things on the Internet of others. For example the Internet has websites where you can be an anonymous user and be able to use it for explicit reasons. They also have apps for such things such as snapchat, snapchat you can choose a username were it doesn't necessarily have to be associated with your real name and for some they think that they can send things that are inappropriate because for snapchat you can only view a photo for a set amount of seconds. But, smart phones are out smarting the use of snapchat because phones give you the option to screen shot things, this was also backfired when snapchat enabled a feature where you can see who screen shots your pictures. This all can be prevented if we teach children to not take such photos because once it's on the Internet it's almost nearly impossible to get it off.
Overall the main purpose of the documentary was to inform the viewers that growing up online could potentially ruin reputations and friendships. It can also take lives through cyber bulling were kids bully over the Internet leaving others vulnerable. This documentary is a little old and already in the generation today you can see the advancements made it can either get better or worse in the future.
Reflection
After viewing the video, "From one second to the next" I have realized that texting while driving impacts multiple people in the case. In the video we saw the texters point of view. They immenditly regretting texting while driving as soon as soon as they crash into someone or something. And most people do not realized the damage it does unless it happens to them or someone close to them. It takes someone to get hurt for people to understand how dangerous texting while driving really is. I really thought that the video was inspiring for people to see how texting while driving impacts people.
Texting and driving
Texting is not cool but I can't say I have a lot of experience with it I do not text or drive and I don't like cars of roads. I think you should pay attenshon will moving a couple ton prices of meatal. Texting kills bees thought and that's not cool so maybe best to just avoid phones in jeniral. The Vedio tried to play toxoplasmosis guilt witch is a evil and it makes me not want to lissin. It's not funny thought cares are serios bisness
Texting and driving affects many people around the world. Thousands of innocent people die from reckless drivers who can't wait a few minutes to open a text message. Not only are people dying but families being hurt. Families can no longer tell their kids that were lost in accicedents that they can't go outside. Imagined myself in the position these people were in and I would just be frightened in type of situation because I would most likely freak out. I hope texting and driving becomes a smaller problem the through out a few years.
Texting and Driving
The documentary "From One Second to the Next" by Werner Herzog talked about the dangers of texting while driving. Personally I haven't had any direct experiences with texting while driving but I do know the effects that it can cause. In my old school there was an incident involving a couple who got into an accident, it cost someone's life. Texting is a serious issue and it's something that can be easily prevented, so be careful with what you do when you drive.
Reflection Brandi Gomez
After watching the video "From One Second to the Next" I would say it impacted me very masively. After seeing how people could change someones life just by texting and driving made me scared to drive. In the video one person said that their text was more important than someones life and that broke my hear because they had plans for the future and then it got crushed becasue someone had to text and drive. I remember watching another video similar to the one we watched and it made me cry because it the video showed a guy preposing to his girlfriend but then a car hit him and he died instantly. It maes me scared because my mom texts and drive a lot and she knows its bad but she just had an impacting experience. I guess I could say that a lot of people died because someone was texting and driving but not many people understand untill till they kill someone.
Texting while Driving paragraph essay
The essay was about the different experiences that people had while texting and driving, and the impact that their actions had on society. For the most part, the results were devastating. An African-American family had a child that is near death, a cowboy can no longer attach horseshoes to the feet of horses, an Amish family was killed, and another woman's sister has lost the ability to communicate properly, among other things. As for how this impacted me, there was no change that I felt, though that could probably be due to the fact that I know what kind of affect texting and driving can create. I have personally seen the effects of texting and driving, and it has not been pretty. Basically, it is just as dangerous as drinking while driving, as you don't have your eyes on the road either time. Therefore I am strongly against such things, and I think that anyone who says that the human body was made to multitask should look again at the human anatomy and what it was made to do.

After watching this documentary the first time, it made me feel bad for those involved in the accidents I also felt bad for the families. From prior knowledge I know that at any split second anything can happen, but with texting it's almost like such a little thing can cause death by high numbers. It makes me personally not want to text and drive, but it makes me also feel like I do not want to be involved in a car accident with he cause of it being texting and driving. Thousands are killed from cell phone related accidents, to prevent this they have created multiple amounts of warnings and propaganda type pieces of art to show the importance and dangers of texting while driving.
Texting and driving 👎
This movie has impacted me in a tremendous way. Because of the tragedy and loss of the families, it's so hard to think that over a few words someone has become disabled and can never have a normal life because of a phone. And what's just as bad is the People that died, the little Amish children that where tragically lost. This impacts me so much because I envision my own family or loved one and me as well. I will make a vow to never text and drive.

The Internet
Some lives on the internet aren't all bad, sure there are LOTS of cyber bullies, inappropriate images/websites, and...trolls. On the internet, privacy is a big thing. Privacy prevents everyone from knowing your identity,and keeps trolls from knowing every little thing about you. Cyberbullying is a major issue on the internet, it causes the same effects that bullying causes. Cyberbullying isn't as effective as normal bullying though because they can only effect you verbally and not physically because it isn't in person. The internet can be a good source for reading, research, math, talking to friends and family members, but sometimes can be used for terrible things like, false information, spam, and something I dare not to mention. not everyone uses this for...this stuff but there are good things people use the internet.
Frontline-growing up online
During the past few years technology has grown really fast and advanced to. According to the documentary it has grown really fast and people now are growing up to it to.
When using this technology that we are all use to growing up to, we use it in a different way. There a lot of bad things out there in the internet world that no one had ever knew. One of the bad things is suicide, there has been a lot of deaths because of this. It is very bad because this has to do with cyber bullying, and it affects a lot of people out there because they make fun of others to hurt their feelings.
Another problem and bad thing about the internet is that there is explicit content. This is something horrible that is going on the internment. Millions of people are posting explicit content because they think that it is funny to do so. Also they are people who just want to troll others in the internet world so they can feel more powerful.
All in all these where the reasons why the internet could be bad, but at the same time could be very helpful and make lives easier.

Social Essay: Computers Then and Now
How Social Networking has Changed the World
There has been numerous reports of online causing more problems than anyone can handle at one moment. On the other hand, there have also been numerous reports of the Internet helping students and adults alike. People often misunderstand the purpose of the Web, and insist that it is a undesirable weapon that should no longer be used. However, it will be shown that the Internet is not to blame for any of this. In fact, it makes for a speedy new way for people to communicate over vast distances and come up with ideas as a group without necessarily being in the same building.
The first subject I will discuss is how the lives of some teenagers are spent constantly hooked up to the Web. In the video 'Frontline: Growing Up Online' students, especially teenagers, are described as "constantly being hooked up to the Web" and the Web was described both negatively and positively, which is entirely understandable. However, things have changed since that video was created. Back then, XP was the dominant operating system for PCs (which is still the case) and the main phone of the age was the flip phone, and cellular data was the thing of science fiction. With the dawn of the smartphone era years in the past communication on social networks changed. Wether it is for the better or worse we may never know, but it has changed in a major way. People can now communicate off of Facebook literally at any time and PC computers are an antiquated technology. Safeguards are now as prominent as ever, yet cyberbullying has gone down dramatically. Now the only way you will find any sign of the dawn of the Social Networking era is if you were looking for it.
The second subject that I am going to describe is suicide rates caused by social networking. While this does remain a threat, and I am not going to put down how important it is that a child is not bullied to the point of committing suicide, there are worse ways that people have been massacred, and most of the prominent killings have nothing to do with social networking. In fact, they are mostly due to the unrest of the killer, not the victim. Also, of all the ways people are killed, suicide is one of the lowest. Furthermore, the social network can be used as a weapon, and I can say that the entire Internet is very dangerous, just like any major city is dangerous. However, the Internet can actually be a valuable communication resource if you know how to use it. And I have been using the Internet for many years, and nothing has happened to me so far because I didn't talk to anyone I don't already know, both in real life and on the Internet.
With these reasons, it is clear to see how the Internet is helpful and not harmful. True, bad thing can happen on the Web and I know this. However, with more and more people becoming educated about how to use the Web, these issues should decline, and the Internet will be used once again for what it was originally intended to be used for: finding and receiving information from anywhere in the world. People are more responsible about the Web now than they were in the past and I believe that they will continue to become more and more responsible as the Web matures and more and more people become educated about Internet safety. And with this massive decrease in instances of suicide or online societies, I firmly believe that more people will become comfortable with this relatively new way to communicate and will embrace it. It is already a commonality, and with the dawn of new Internet-using technologies such as VR, it won't be too long if people are able to communicate truly face-to-face with 3D holographic images. Will people embrace these new technologies in the same way that they embraced the idea of the Internet, which is, to say, not at all? Or will people look at it differently and accept it far quicker than they did with the Internet? Only time will tell.
