meeting deadlines

The importance of meeting deadlines is second to none.  Meeting deadlines could make you or break you in the business world.  It starts with just being on time in general.  No one trusts a guy who is late and never on time.  It carries over to things like deadlines.  If you mess up once you could be fired.  You wont get many opportunities if you constantly are late on things.  Even young kids learn to turn turn in homework assignments on time or their grade will go down.  If anything, spend some extra time to turn it in early and not even flirt with something being late.  Procrastination is a bad thing.  Everyone does it but you need to pull together and get it done.  You feel so much better about yourself once you get it done.  Its so easy to put it off until later, but if you dont get it done there might be very severe consequences.  Meeting deadlines is one of the most, if not the most important thing to do in the business and educational world.  I take this very seriously because i know the importance of it. Meeting deadlines is the most important thing to do.

Twitter

Twitter is a social networking tool that is open to everyone.  Many people often tweet about what they are doing.  A tweet is a 250 character post about what you are doing or something you might do.  Many celebrities tweet.  First you get an account with a user name.  Then you can search peoples user names and follow them.  you can get an update every time that person sweets.  I could use digital communication to present twitter by using a power point or a Google document.  Twitter is pretty self explanatory.  I don't have a twitter account but i could show people how to use it.  By using a power point or a google document i could highlight the need to know points and talk about the other stuff.  Twitter is fun for all ages and is very simple to use.  Also i could use you tube to get a how to video.  Lastly i could video record a speech on how to use twitter and show it to the class.  In conclusion twitter is an great social networking tool.  everyone can use it and it is free.  There is nothing not to like.  Twitter is a great tool to use.

digital communication

The possibilities of digital communication are endless.  It is crazy on how communication has changed even since I have been alive.  Phones have change dramatically.  The only thing a phone was used for when I was a kid was for a call, now its an internet tool and you can do almost anything on them.  Also games have changed.  Through game systems you can communicate with other players, and play online with friends.  Social networking has increased as well.  now there are was for a lot of people to come together, share information, and become friends.  I cant imagine what the world is going to come to in the rest of my life.  In fifty years it will be cool to see where we are and look back and see what it used to be.  Digital communication gets better and better every day and will soon be unbelievable.
