Weebly
www.weebly.com
This site allows you to create a free website. It seems very straight forward, you choose the type of site you want site, store or blog. Then you choose a template, each template has multiple color options. You put in the text, picture or video data you want in the site and create a website. This seems like a great way to start advertising a new business.

Highrise
https://highrisehq.com/
This site allows you to keep track of all your business contacts and set reminders and view a client history. This seems like it would be helpful if you were an independent business owner so you could keep track of your appointments and previous history.

This site allows you to create schedules, send them electronically to employees and keep track of attendance. This seems like a quick and easy way to keep track of schedules and hours of employees.

Sara Lewis: the loves and lies of fireflies
http://www.ted.com/talks/sara_lewis_the_loves_and_lies_of_fireflies#t-31113
This is the best use of power point I found, she uses images and scientific information to make it easier to understand what she is referring to. Her presentation is fascinating.

http://www.ted.com/talks/robert_full_the_secrets_of_nature_s_grossest_creatures_channeled_into_robots

4 Software programs I use most often

The 4 software programs i use most often are Adobe Photoshop Elements, Microsoft word, Google Chrome, and League of Legends. All of which have very different purposes. I use Photoshop to edit my photographs, I can do anything from crop and auto fix, to adjust curves and exposure. I use Word mainly for school and resumes, my personal life rarely needs word documents. I use Google Chrome for everything from social networking to checking email to downloading new programs I need, I also use it for school and job searching. League of Legends is a PVP based game that is played online with people, I use this for my me time, to relax at the end of the day. I' m sure I could live without these programs but they definitely make my life easier and better.
