In the video called "A Vision of the Students Today" by Dr. Wesch it tells us about how students don't use most of the books they buy and all the other interesting facts that goes on in school like half of the kids in class don't listen and take notes. I thought this video was very amusing but at the same time if you buy books that you don't use once then why are they making you buy the books? I believe the fact about half of the kids don't listen in class and don't pay attention. I think it's ridiculous that mostly kids don't pay attention in class.

Today I read an article called "Afghan War Needs Thousands more Troops". It amazes me that they need even more troops to go to Afghanistan they've already taken a bunch of troops to the war. When is it going to stop? I thought that it was going to be over with Barack Obama as president. I just think that we have more than enough troops in Afghan.

I read an article in the Denver Post called "Global Network Detects Sign of Atomic Bomb Testing" in the article I read that Iran, Israel and five nuclear powers that are permanent Security Council members of a global network to detect signs of atomic bomb testing. I thought that was really fascinating because I mostly read the articles that have to do with the war today and this article caught my attention because I think it's amazing how they can detect this stuff and I think its amazing how efficient our technology is today.

In the Denver Post I read an article about a guy named Najibullah Zazi who lives in Aurora, Colorado was planning to cause a terrorist attack and throughout the whole investigation he started to lie and towards the end he started to admit that he had something to do with the terrorist attack. I thought that this article was very interesting because they found him off of the Internet. So they used technology to stop him from causing an attack that will cause many deaths.

In the article "New Literacy" by Clive Thompson it tells us that the new technology can be used as a good or a bad thing, I look at It as a good thing because the only time I go on to the computer to do school work or look for something that I could buy. Before they made computers or the Internet, kids who had to do essays had to write it out with a paper and pencil. Now kids can type there essays up and look up info off of the Internet for there projects. So when I think about the technology, I think of it as a good thing but I think it also relies on what you do on the Internet to make it a good or bad thing.

The video "The Machine is Using Us'' by Dr. Wesch tells us that if we use the computer right then we will have a lot safer and better computer. So if you do anything bad on the Internet than your making your computer a lot worse for you. So the things you do on the Internet could effect you later in the future. I thought the video was very fascinating to watch and i would recommend it to anyone. I think i need to tell my little brother about what will happen if you don't treat your computer right because i wouldn't want it to backfire on him!

When i was reading the gender article about how the girls are more educated than guys are, i agreed with the fact that the girls are smarter than guys but at the same time i believe that we can try harder and become more educated than the girls. I think the reason why girls do better in school than guys is because guys are more dedicated in things outside of school such as sports or clubs. More guys are involved in sports than girls are so that's why i think girls do better in school than guys because girls are more dedicated than guys are. If guys were more dedicated than girls then we would be better in school then the girls.
