Evernote

   Evernote is pretty dang awesome! For those of you who don't know what it is, it is basically a storage page where you can keep any files and access them wherever you are. You can access them on any laptop, PC, Mac,  i-Pad or i-Touch, Blackberries and Android phones; it's that diverse! You can download it as a software and have a shortcut on your desktop or you can just visit the webpage at http://www.evernote.com/ to go on it that way. I have downloaded it onto my NetBook and it is wonderful. It is very quick to start up and use; however I do prefer the webpage version as you can access it anywhere you want to.

   I also have it on my Blackberry. On my Blackberry I can access any file that I have made at home, so if I made a note on a book, I could open up the Evernote app and check out what I wrote. You can also make notes as easily as on a computer, you can even attach pictures, videos and links too.

   Unfortunately, the free version isn't the best version available. There is a premium version for $45 a year, which isn't too much. However I thoroughly enjoy the free version and it is worth getting. Here is a link to their video about Evernote http://www.evernote.com/about/video/#zHom6bgqg9Y|1|1.

Storing Information

   Over the past years, technology has rapidly changed. Going from long, drawn-out processes to quick and snappy ones. How we find out and store information has also changed dramatically. 

   Now, people of my generation are probably thinking, 'but nothings changed!', well it has. In the past our parents didn't have Google or other search engines, they just had to find things out the long way, by moving from place to place. People would visit their friends to find out the latest gossip or banter, or go the library to research something for their homework. And those are just a few ways information was passed on! People would check the newspaper to find out the news, they would talk to some friends to find out whats happening and they would read hundreds of books to find what they need. But how did they store all of what they found out? In the past someone would probably just write it in a diary or put it in a shoe box for safe-keeping, but now everything has changed.

   I find out information in many ways. I normally just Google what I wan to find out and it comes up pretty quickly. I also checkout Yahoo! Answers to give me informations on various topics. Another great way that I use to find out information (maybe not incredibly necessary) is through Facebook. Facebook allows you to find out the latest news to do with your friends, you can also spread information around by chatting to them, 'inboxing' them or writing on their wall. I normally share information through Facebook as nearly all of my friends have it and it keeps me up to date with whats happening.

   Finally, how do I store information? I normally keep in on a Google Doc; this allows me to access it anywhere and also share it with anyone I like. I also store information on Microsoft, as this allows a wide range of editing to go on but unfortunately it is not very accessible. Lastly, I like to store some files on a memory stick. This makes me feel much safer with my files as they are actually in my pocket instead of in a huge memory warehouse.

I've lately been jamming to some of these songs, they're all by Dj Earworm and are pretty insane.
