Digital divide

I stand on the side of which I think our phones do record I've been where I have talked to my friends about something and got an add for it a day later. My use of my technology is for my personal use but now I use it for the blog and for my homework. Technology holds me back sometimes because when I want to do homework I sometimes get preoccupied doing other things. My darts isn't that private I just make sure I don't post anything I will regret later. I think people see me as just a regular person but I don't want that but I also don't want anyone to know who I really am I put up a front at school and online only my real friends know me.

Ignite talk

My big question is how does our voice go to different pitches?
Over break I researched by going to different websites and read about how our voice can change.
I learned that people's voices change when they talk to people that they love and that  vibrations in our lungs can change the way way we talk
One connection I see is that in great gatsby when nick is watching the women singing when she crys her voice gets more high pitched.
What I'm gonna do next is try to email my expert that I chose about what he study's.

info I gathered 3

The 3 parts that help to make voice
1. Lyranx- the voice box, the vocal folds are apart of the lyranx and vibrate to make the sound of voice
2. Pharynx- the throat, goes up from the lyranx and divides into the laryngopharynx, oropharynx, and the nasopharynx
3. Trachea- the windpipe , the tube that connects your lungs to your throat, the larynx sits on top of your trachea

Info I gathered 2

The process of converting the air pressure from lungs into audible vibrations is called phonotion. The vocal folds give singers a wide range of control over the pitch of sound and produce the muscles of the larynx change the elasticity and tension of the vocal folds determine the pitch of sounds.

Info that I gathered

I found out that the vocal cords are a big factor to how we speak and make sounds and pitches  some facts that I learned about the vocal cords are composed of a gel like matter and as the vocal cords mature fibers on the vocal cords develop within the gel and they soon form a multilayered laminating string. Most people call vocal cords , vocal cords but most researchers call them vocal folds.

Post 3

Ingo titze is someone that knows more than me on my topic of choice he is the director of the national center for voice and speech at the university of Utah. Ingo and his colleagues study how the lyrinx can determine how your voice will change and that the vocal cords can make many different sounds that vary from low to high.
"It's absolutely amazing how nature has created a compound, laminated string to cover a pitch range that is difficult, by any stretch of the imagination, to cover with one string," Titze says.
