Assignment 7
You must write at least 3 sentences for questions 1,2,5, and 6. You should answer in your own words and will need to do internet research to complete the assignment.
1. Go to http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/new-fantasyland/ and look around it a little bit. Now go to http://www.byteland.org/angeloflife. Now why do you think the .com website is more exciting than the .org website?
Because the .com website has 3D images and videos and a lot of animation and colors. However the .org has nothing just the information and any image.
2. Why do you think the Disney website has more hyperlinks, advertisements, and other distracting options to click on?
Because I think that those are just viruses or things that the page put for you to pay something that says there just because it's attractive with colors.
3. If you had to construct/create your own webpage from the beginning, what would you want it to be about and why?
I would want to be about the top magazines around the world and to have a searcher for people to find out the best outfits and if you like it you also can click on buy and then the money goes part for me and part for the magazine where you bought the clothes or accessories.
Because I like fashion and that would be a good idea to earn money from the internet.
4. How many programmers do you think would have to work with you to make your website possible? Would it seem impossible to construct/create a webpage by yourself? Why?
I would need a lot of help by doing my website because it's difficult to decorate and to find it interesting for people and the magazines that want to be on my page.
5. What would you want to name your website? Type that name into the web-address bar, is it taken already?
magaworld.com but it's already taken by a Chinese company.
6. Explain why webpages with flash videos, images, and color take longer to load than pages with only text?
Because there are much more things to charge than just charging text.

gymnastics
Gymnastics
Gymnastics for me is a life style and obviously is a very delicate sport, it is consisted by four apparatus where gymnasts
perform short routines ranging from
approximately 30 to 90 seconds on different
apparatus.
I like this sport because I love doing stunts in
the air. i was on gymnastics about 4 years
ago and i last in this sport almost 6 years so i
went to regionals and nationals around
Mexico, i won lots of medals and trophies
during those years. Finally i left it because i
started to have some knees and backbone
problems, but i miss a lot this sport, it is and
it'll be my favorite always.

They should try and leave out Wikipedia as much as they can because it is becoming one of their main sources. I think they might be slightly confusing at times even for younger users because maybe some of them would be better off with key words.
