Assignment #2: Social Media Graphs

For assignment #2, I was to make a survey about social media for the IT class to take, and then
put the results into graphs. Afterwards, I had to embed them onto my website.
The first question was focused on the privacy of personal information, so I picked, Do you
post/send information, such as addresses or phone numbers, through social media? If so, which one is it
usually? (Figure 2) I also had to make a table with the corresponding information. (Figure 3)

The second question focused on the security of social media, so my question was, Has anyone
online that you don't know in real life ever asked you for your number or address? If so, how did you
respond? (Figure 3) I also needed to create a table. (Figure 4)

and then embed the graph (Figure 11) onto my website. I also had to create a table (Figure 12) along
with it.

Assignment #4: Technology Prezi/Powerpoint

Pertaining to assignment #4, I had to make a Prezi or Powerpoint that regarded the history of
something to do with technology, such as computers in general, or Apple. I decided to pick the history of
Windows as my topic. Figure 13 shows an initial view of my Prezi.

Figure 13

I talked about MS-DOS, early versions of Windows, Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98,
Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.
