Organizing Data On A Computer

There  are  many  different  ways  you  can  organize  information  on  a  computer.  Folders  and  websites  such  as  Diigo  and  Digg  can  help  you  save  information  such  as  websites  and  articles  and  RSS  Feeds.  Your  E-mails  can  be  saved  through  google  or  yahoo  and  can  be  saved  through  whoever  sent  it  to  you.  Blog  posts  are  saved  through  chonological  order  and  you  find  them  through  different  links.

200,000 people apply to live on Mars

When  I  was  younger,  I  used  to  watch  the  Looney  Toons  and  watching  Bugs  Bunny  and  Marvin  The  Martian  always  duel  it  out.  But  here  we  are  in  2013  and  4  people  may  be  sent  and  actually  find  out  if  rabbits  fight  aliens!!  A  Dutch  company  is  going  to  send  four  lucky  humans  to  Mars  so  they  may  start  colonizing  the  red  planet.  Whats  the  catch?  THEY'LL  NEVER  COME  BACK!!!!  The  application  period  is  now  over  so  sucks  for  me,  but  for  everybody  else  who  applied,  they're  chances  are  as  good  as  any.  Bas  Lansdorp,  Mars  One  CEO  told  reporters  that  the  technology  to  come  back  doesn't  exist,  and  that  the  hardest  part  is  yet  to  come.  If  fortunate,  they'll  be  gone  by  2025.

Smart Bras?!

That's  right,  technology  has  gotten  so  smart  the  your  underwear  is  showing  signs.  I  really  don't  understand  why  Microsoft  would  do  this;  they've  already  got  phones,  and  documents,  and  computer  networks!  So  why  a  bra?  They  tried  to  down  play  it.  Make  it  seem  like  it's  less  than  we  say  it  is.  That  it's  only  purpose  is  part  of  a  bigger  project,  which  I  find  highly  disturbing.  Anywho,  the  bra  works  like  this.  It's  got  two  sensors,  One  for  heart  rate  and  one  for  respiration.  What  the  bra  does  is  that  it  helps  woman  stay  healthy  by  advising  them  on  what  they  should  eat.  This  all  revolves  around  the  theory  that  your  emotions  control  what  you  eat,  which  is  true.  So  it  tells  you  not  to  pick  up  that  seventh  brownie  after  your  dog  died,  so  what?  It's  pretty  neat  but  how  would  you  even  wash  it?  Also,  you  gotta  change  the  batteries  a  lot,  it's  ridiculous!  And  why  would  you  only  get  one?  Do  you  feel  moody  once  a  week.  

The Social Media

As young Americans we see more and more how the use of social networks has dictated what we do in our everyday life. Just a few years ago no one knew what these "Social Networks" were or how they worked. Today, everything passes through that little blue bird icon on your phone. It has changed  our views on celebrities, politicians, even the Pope. But how has contributed to education? Well I'm going to give you an example. A few friends of have this teacher who actually has them follow them on Twitter for assignments and what not. This is a true story, swear to God. How else might it contribute to education? Well social networks are big blogs of information, information most people couldn't care about, but it could become useful. Let's say your making a biography on Charlie Sheen. You follow him on twitter then you find countless Tweets about things he does. Next thing you know you got an entire report on his new catchphrase "Winning!" Well I personally don't like it, not after 2010. But it's still a damn good source of information.

RSS Project

I  chose  the  sites  I  did  because  of  the  level  of  interest.  My  personal  folder is  just  a  bunch  of  stuff  I  like.  Though  the  government  and  news  websites  needed  to  be  a  little  more  credible.  It  was  in  general  pretty  easy  to  find  these  feeds.  Though  a  few  other  websites  I  couldn't  use  because  of  how  hard  it  was  to  find  these  feeds,  it  was  pretty  easy  to  just  copy  and  paste.  Overall  the  burger  site  is  my  favorite.  It  may  not  be  as  accurate  as  all  the  others,  but  at  least  I  can  follow  all  my  burger  news.  A  close second  was  the  Green  Bay  Packers  website  but  I  guess  the  reason  they're  not  first  is  because  of  how  bad  they're  doing.  They  still  have  a  chance  to  make  the  playoffs  if  Detroit  looses  two  more  games  which  is  possible......  besides  the  point.  Anyway,  back  to  the  RSS  feeds,  I  can  use  them  for  research  or  to  make  a  presentation.  It's  a  pretty  handy  tool,  beats  all  the  damn  tabs.  My  future  with  RSS  feeds  is  kind  of  dependent  with  my  future  of  technology.  I'm  not  big  on  technology,  but  I  guess  the  future  is  uncertain.
