Week 7

I once thought that people who job was to on their butts all day and play with a computer (web designers, etc...) had it made. Man was i wrong. As we have learned thus far, there are many things that technical communicators have to consider when writing or creating anything. They have to pay attention to the smallest things. For example copyright and privacy. Just the other week our assignment was to publish a web page.I don't know about ya'll but i found some pictures on the Internet that i thought would be good to use on my page but, what i forgot to consider was copyrighting and privacy. These are some of the simplest things to forget when you are "on a mission" to complete your work. As i began reading the chapter my heart beats started to speed up a little bit and to be quite honest, i felt bad because i didn't consider these facts when i was creating my web page. After i read the chapter i got kind of scared because for one, i don't know if the pictures that i used were copyright -free and for two, i don't need anybody trying to sue me for some pictures that i used for school. To all of the web designers, text book designers, technical communicators, etc........., I must give you your props because you have a hard job and i know i couldn't do it.
