Video Review/Web Progress

Video:

1. The video's technology was definitely amazing to even imagine; however, I do not think I could comfortably function in a world like that. It seemed true human interaction was taken away from that world. In addition, the fact that sight had a possibility of temporarily crashing seemed way too scary to even test. That and the manipulation, also pretty frightening. There were some aspects I do wish existed, such as the introduction to the video. If gaming became that advanced I would definitely get on board with that, and the fridge/cooking idea seemed so fun. In the end, no I don't think I could live that way 100%, but there were a few things I definitely wouldn't mind.

2. With the way things are going, I'd say we have a pretty good chance of getting to that level of technology if we really tried to strive for it. I think, however, that only the extremely wealthy would be able to obtain such a tool.

Website Progress:

I don't exactly know how I would do on my own. I assumed this template was temporary. I think when I get around to making my own site, I will be a lot worse off.

Future Website

Theme:
I plan to design a website for a fictional business in the field of baking, my dream career. Although I would love to be a dentist, one of the main reasons is due to their automatic success. The bakery industry, on the other hand, is an iffy career, because you may or may not be successful. 
Goals:

• To create a visually appealing website 
• To make a fictional company as realistic as possible

Tips For A Quality Site

1. Publish High Quality Content: The idea is to not over do it with the updates, this site stated the most successful businesses only post around 24 posts a year.

2. Create Effortless, Predictable Navigation: This is pretty self explanatory, don't make your website too difficult to browse through.

3. Use quality graphics and photos, including Flash elements and photo slideshows. Poor photography can lead to less trust in what you're offering. Remember: a picture is worth 1,000 words: No one likes a plain website filled with text, a picture can help separate mass text amounts and also give the reader a visual look into your website intentions.

All the sites I posted as my Top 5 are great with the easy navigation aspect and high quality graphics and photos for the most part; however, they aren't experts when it comes to always publishing quality content. On the other hand, all of these websites are pretty successful and these recommendations were specifically targeting small businesses.
