TECHNOLOGY and the ENVIRONMENT
Emery C.I.: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:11PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Hi! We are from Toronto, Ontario. We are just experimenting with this new
interface...
Bell High School 3: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:12PM EST (-0500 GMT)
We're also experimenting. It's quite interesting what a very old version of
Netscape can do.
Centennial webmaster: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:13PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Bell High School3, WHAT version of Netscape are you using?!!!
Bell High School 3: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:14PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Bell high school 2 and 3 are using Netscape 1.22 if I am not mistaken.
TWIG at Notre Dame: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:15PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Hi, we're a bit late, and we're not very efficient at communicating like
this...
Centennial webmaster: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:15PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Bell, you should upgrade to Netscape 2.02 if you can.
Bell High School 1: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:15PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Lame-o Bell HS 2 and 3 are on Netscape 1.12. Bell HS 1 is on Netscape
2.01.Visit Bell HS at button
Auburn High: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:16PM EST (-0500 GMT)
I hear that Microsoft Internet Explorer is supposed to blow the doors off
of Netscape. Does Bill Gates have to own everything?!
Centennial webmaster: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:16PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Oh yeah? visit us at button
Bell High School 1: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:16PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Sorry that should be button
Auburn High: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:17PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Version 3, that is. I took a look at the Beta version and it
looked impressive, much faster than Netscape. Anyways, back to the
enviro-chat people :)
Bell High School 1: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:31PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Centennial: BEAUTIFUL web page. -- Bell H.S. webmaster
Centennial webmaster: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:33PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Bell High 1 ... Thanks for visiting our web-page I can't get into yours
right now but I'll be sure to check it out later.
tgmag@tgmag.ca: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:17PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Relaxe, everyone is experimenting with this technology, including us. We
hope we will all be working together on Agenda 21 issues next year! This is
a beginning!
Spruce: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:49PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Bell: what are the *buttons*?
tgmag@tgmag.ca: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:50PM EST (-0500 GMT)
If you click on the buttons, you go to a web page
Bell High School 1: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:51PM EST (-0500 GMT)
The Buttons are links. Click on the button to go to a web page (but don't
forget to come back). You can bookmark it and come back right away.We're
really looking forward to seeing this book.
TWIG at Notre Dame: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:17PM EST (-0500 GMT)
What's the current topic of discussion?!
TWIG at Notre Dame: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:28PM EST (-0500 GMT)
What do you all think about technology's effect on the environment? I think
this type of conversation is great because of the Internet, but do you think
all this fast technology is making us lazy, and then, not wanting to get up
and do anything?
Bell High School 3: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:31PM EST (-0500 GMT)
TWIG: We feel that this tech stuff has its ups and downs. You made a good
point about it making us lazy, but if you are careful about how you use it,
it can be an essential asset to any issue.
Auburn Drive High School: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:27PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Hello people, some one talk to us too, we are people too, is there anyone
out there? HELLO!! What is with everyone? I have just joined this thing, and
so far no one has said anything about what we have to say, you people should
all feel SHAME! SHAME SHAME!!
tgmag@tgmag.ca: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:32PM EST (-0500 GMT)
TWIG: What sort of effect do you think technology is having on the enviro.
Personally I think technology is both destructive and progressive.
WHCI/NN: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:33PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Auburn don't cry you should see our message to you above. Twig at Notre
Dame, I agree with you completely, technology is slowly killing
society.No one walks any more it is too tiring. That's why society weight
average is increasing there are a number of people in the world too fat to
get out of their own bed .This is ridiculous! We need to get up and
exercise.
Bell High School 1: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:34PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Technology is making is more dependent on energy and resources (silicon for
computers, etc.) while at the same time we can monitor these resources on a more global basis.
Bell High School 3: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:35PM EST (-0500 GMT)
TWIG: We agree. In one sense, technology can help us fix many of the worlds
problems, but it also helps create them.
tgmag@tgmag.ca: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:35PM EST (-0500 GMT)
WHCI/NN: On the other hand, it would be a really long walk to come talk to
you guys.
Centennial webmaster: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:37PM EST (-0500 GMT)
...Does anyone know how to set up a MUS* for chatting?
Banting Memorial H.S.: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:38PM EST (-0500 GMT)
TGMAG & TWIG:It is hard to dismiss the importance of technology,so as the
youth of our society the best thing to do is communicate and relate
solutions to maintaining a balance of environmental security and
technological advancement. We usually sacrifice the environment.
Centennial webmaster: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:38PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Hellooooo? Any one know how to set up a MUS* for chatting?
TWIG at Notre Dame: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:39PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Technology questions: I think technology is making us used to quick answers,
such that we don't want to think. Technology is helping us in a way figure out what exactly the
problems are with the environment.. we have to be careful how we use it... we
also cannot rely solely on it to fix our problems. After all, nature has
all the answers to everything, and we don't know comparative anything
tgmag@tgmag.ca: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:40PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Let's keep talking about the enviro. If you want to know about MUS* talk to
School Net.
Bell High School 1: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:38PM EST (-0500 GMT)
tg mag: how long is this chat scheduled to continue for?
tgmag@tgmag.ca: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:39PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Bell H.S.: the chat goes on for another 20 mins. but they won't kick us off.
Spruce: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:43PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Anyone: Technology may be making us lazy. At least we can talk to people
that we wouldn't be able to talk to on a regular basis. It is also
important to know what is going on around the world!
Cawthra: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:45PM EST (-0500 GMT)
If you think technology is so bad, we're using technology to communicate
about the environment at this very moment.
Spruce: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:45PM EST (-0500 GMT)
tgmag: What if we feel like staying on for the rest of the day?
Cawthra: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:49PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Technology should also be viewed as a way of helping society such as medical
technology.
TWIG at Notre Dame: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:51PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Everyone has good points... but this is a great chat, and I'm glad that technology
is at least giving us the opportunity to do this.
tgmag@tgmag.ca: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:51PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Yeah, can you imagne how useful these chat can be if we used them in schools
on a regular basis. There's so much to learn, to talk about, to explore....
Everyone is experimenting with this technology, including us. We hope we will all be working together on Agenda 21 issues next year! This is a beginning!
Bell High School 1: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 2:01PM EST (-0500 GMT)
We'd be happy to participate in chats in the future.. this is quite an
experience.
West Park: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 2:02PM EST (-0500 GMT)
West Park is definitely interested in further chats throughout the year.
tell us more about these chats.
Banting Memorial H.S.: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:53PM EST (-0500 GMT)
It is very difficult to keep track of all these good comments. TG Mag are
you documenting this? Is CBC involved in any capacity?
Bell High School 1: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 2:02PM EST (-0500 GMT)
To get a record of all this chatting, just put "300" or something in the box
that says "Scroll Back" and save what you get.
tgmag@tgmag.ca: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:55PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Banting: Yes we are going to save the chat when it's finished, organize it
and put highlights up on the web page so that we can build on the ideas
shared here and share them with others.
Auburn Drive High School: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 2:03PM EST (-0500 GMT)
I think these chats are great!!: )
