Who do you think you are?

Hello, my name's Lucy Fletcher. I've always known about my family history but I can never remember it very clearly, so I started by asking my parents things about the history in my family interview. I then sent my aunt and uncle an email asking if they had any info or pictures. After gathering information from those, I put together a family tree with as many names as I could get. Although these were good resources, I made a Prezi to explain it all in a neater fashion. I didn't get to the piktochart, but I made a five frame storyboard.

Monday, May 5

The guy seemed to be knowing what he was talking about, and for some people it was correct. I'll admit I'm on my phone a lot but I'm not sure I would ask someone for directions or something without it. And technology has connected many people and created relationships across the globe. I have friends in Australia, some in Canada, Minnesota, New York, California, and Washington. I've connected with my friends from England and Oklahoma on Facebook, but without technology I couldn't have done that. Although it harms some people (attention spans, patience, work ethics), it helps people too. I agree with what the guy was saying, but people seem to only focus on the negative effects of technology when there are plenty of positive things it's done too.
