Ehternet cord allows you to connect to the internet using game systems that help you communicate and play with other users all over the world.
you need the networking cable, two RJ-45 jacks, and cable cutting pliers. You may want to change the font color to match for the order.. just an idea.) cut cable into desired length, make sure the blue is inside the RJ-45 jack, spread out the wires and twist them so that they are fanned out, place wires in order from left to right light orange, dark orange, light green, dark blue, light blue, dark green, light brown, dark brown.
you test by making sure the wires touch the copper at the top and that the blue is inside the RJ-45 jack and that it shows the light on the machine thing to show that it is working.
My personal reaction to the ethernet cable was that it was very easy. I did not mess up any times. Nothing i would do the exact same thing and create another just as easy.

What is the purpose of a blog? What pros and cons do you see about blogs? Are they safe? Why/Why not. Explain how blogs could be used as an educational tool.




The purpose of a blog to me is that you can communicate with friends, family, and anyone in the world with it. Some pros i see about blogs are that they are very helpful. Cons for blogs i really dont seen anything. I believe that the blogs are safe as long as you dont put anything on them that is not supposed to be. They can be used as an educational tool because you can create things on it and you can add stuuf to the blog that can be school related.
