1. Lamplighters- People used to go around at dusk and hand light the street lamps. Now street lamps are run by electricity and automatically light when the sun beings to go down.

2. Switchboard Operators- When people used to us the phone they would have to go through a switchboard operator before actually being connected to the person they were trying to call. Now phone calls go directly from one person to the other.

3. Milk Men- People used to deliver milk in glass bottles directly to people’s homes. Now milk is packaged by machines and sent off to stores for people to purchase on their own.

4. Cotton Pickers- People used to hand pick cotten which was a very grueling job. Now there are machines that pick the cotton.

5. Shoe Makers- All shoes used to be made by hand. Now shoes are made by machines.

6. Telegram Delivers- Whenever someone would receive a telegram it was delivered directly to their door. Now most people communicate through mail or even email.

7. Street Sweeper- People used to walk through the streets late at night and hand sweet the streets. Now there are large machines that do this job much more efficiently.

8. Service Station Attendants- There used to be people at service stations who would pump your gas for you and wash your windows. Now people have to pump their own gas.

9. Icemen- Just like the milkman there was a person who would deliver ice to your house. Now ice can either be made in your own home in a freezer or ice can be bought at a store.

10. Piano Player for Silent Movies- Before movies had sound there were people who would play music at the movie theatre so the movie would not be silent. Of course, now movies have thier own sound.

This  picture captures an  early, foggy morning. I like this photo because it is so enchanting, almost heavenly.

This picture is of a rainbow, an entire arch and only the outer lines are visible. It is so serene and unusual.

This picture is of a tornado with a huge bolt of lightning right next to it. This picture is amazing because it is such a rare sight but also although it is very frightening it also is beautiful.

This picture is of two palm trees with the outline of the sun behind it. This picture is just gorgeous, peaceful, and so inviting.

This picture is of the golden gate bridge with huge waves underneath it. California is knows for its great weather but this picture captures not-so-nice weather which is fairly ironic. Although it is stormy it is still very gorgeous.

All of these pictures capture the amazing wonders of nature and the world we live in.

1. “Sexting” is the act of sending sexually explicit messages or photos electronically, primarily between cell phones.

2. Sexting can be dangerous because it can get the sender or the recipient of the message in serious trouble and possibly ruin their future. Some teenagers have been charged with child pornography which led to severe consequences.

4. My friends have never done anything to violate my trust but I still would not trust them with revealing pictures of myself. I would not even take revealing pictures of myself in the first place so this should not be an issue for me. Even the friends you trust can change and something as small as a little fight can cause them to do something that may hurt you significantly.

5. Besides from getting in serious trouble sexting can ruin someone’s reputation and future. No one should take that risk. It is pointless.

In this lesson I learned how to record and play back an action to automate a series of steps, add guides to help me place and align images precisely, save selections and load them as masks, apply color effects only to unmasked areas of an image, add an adjustment layer to color-correct a selection, apply filters to selections to create various effects, and add layer styles to create editable special effects.

In this lesson I learned how to import a layer from another file, clip a layer, create and edit an adjustment layer, use vanishing point 3D effects with layers, set up different layer comps to showcase my work, manage layers, flatten a layer image, and merge and stamp layers.

In this lesson I learned how to differentiate between bitmap images and vector graphics, draw straight and curved paths using the pen tool, convert a path to a selection, convert a selection to a path, save paths, draw and edit layer shapes, draw custom layer shapes, and import and edit a smart object from Adobe Illustrator.

In this lesson I learned how to use guides to position text in a composition, make a clipping mask from type, merge type with other layers, use layer styles with text, preview typefaces interactively to choose them for a composition, control type and positioning using advanced type palette features, and warp layers around 3D object.

In this lesson I learned how to process a proprietary camera raw image and save it as an industry-standard digital negative, make typical corrections to a digital photograph, remove red eye, remove noise, bring out shadows and highlights to create more detail, adjust the visual perspective of objects in an image using the vanishing point filter, apply optical lens correction to an image, prepare a PDF presentation of my corrected images, and understand the best practices for organizing, saving, and managing images.

This was the most difficult lesson I have done thus far. There we so many steps and instructions to follow. I learned how to use the “quick mask” tool to refine a selection, save a selection as a channel mask, view a mask using the channels palette, load a saved mask, apply filters, effects, and blend masks, move an image within a mask, create a layer mask, paint in a mask to modify a selection, make an intricate selections using the extract feature, create and use a gradient mask, isolate a channel to make specific corrections, and create a high quality gray-scale image by mixing channels.

This lesson was about layer basics. I learned how to organize artwork on layers, create, view, and hide layers, rearrange layers and change stacking order, blend layers together, link layers to work on them at the same time, apply a gradient layer, add text and layer effects to a layer, and flatten layers.

In the extra credit portion I learned how to blend layers together and erase portions of the top layer to reveal the bottom layer.
