How Guilty Would You Feel?
A global news article reviled that a father trying to protect his wife and daughter accidently shot his baby girl. As the man’s wife and daughter just got home and started to walk to the house a car pulled up with a man inside telling the ladies to get in, the man in the car had a gun as well. The girls started to yell for help the father heard, grabbed his licensed gun and hurried towards the door. As the father came out of the house he slipped causing the gun to fire the bullets hit his daughter in the abdomen and died in the hospital. I feel very bad and sorry for this man I can’t even imagine how bad or how he feels about what had just happened. I can see that he blames himself and puts all of the guilt upon himself. It also states that the family is helping out about the cause by being there for the family. I can’t help but to wonder why this came about did god mean for this or was it just bad timing, if the father had never slipped what would the outcome be, would any one die or get hurt, but that is something that can never be reviled.

Boom Boom Boom
Boom Boom Boom
A global news article described the reasons of three bombs going off in Narathiwat, Bangkok. To start off the first bomb went off in a in or by one a car owned by one of the local officials, once the village chief and local officials had got out of their meetings and progressed towards their cars. The next two bombs went off near one of the local fruit markets. Both of these bombs went off as they targets were cited these bombs were either a bad attempt of trying to kill the village chief and the local officials or this man was trying to make a statement. No one will know until this man or woman is caught.

Illegal Immigrants in Colorado
Illegal immigrants in Colorado
In the Denver post news there was an article about illegal immigrants in Colorado and Wyoming. In the article it states that the Denver police department had deported 6000 illegal immigrants in Colorado and Wyoming over the last twelve months. They also say this was a 7 percent decrease of immigrants that they deported. I think they are trying to do what they can get rid of the illegal immigrant factor but we can try as hard as we want but we will never get anywhere if we don’t do anything about it at the border. I want to know where they had brought these aliens and if they are making an effort to keep them out of the country or if they will just come back into America again. America‘s government needs to make a statement and show the illegal immigrants what they are doing is wrong and that they should not and cannot any more. Then possible the immigrants will think twice about coming into America illegal.

Some High School Fun
A 17 year old boy was arrested for streaking across a football field in Boulder at one of Boulder High’s football games. He ran down the field with nothing on but his shoes and he also carried a fake sward with him while running. Personally I think this is hilarious, what’s better than watching a guy run down a football field getting chased by the cops. I say give the kid a break let him off with nothing but a warning. Let me ask you this, who is it going to hurt watching a guy run down a field naked? No person in the stands would be able to see anything on the streakier 50 yards away. So what do you say give the kid a break or convict him of sexual assault?

A Del-Taco Surprise
While a couple was sitting down to eat they found a surprise topping they did not order. As the couple started to eat their tacos they found a bag of marijuana inside. The couple called the cops and the chef Dennis Klermund was arrested for possession of the drug. I find this very stupid in every way possible. First of all why do drugs, all that is happening is you are throwing your life away, it’s illegal and not healthy. Next, how ignorant do you have to be to put it in a customer’s food when you have a whole locker full of the drug. Maybe next time Dennis will be smarter and take better care of his marijuana.

Did You Know 2.0
o Today’s learners will have 10 to 14 jobs by their 38th birthday
o 70% of 4 year olds have used a computer
o Today’s 21 year olds have watched 20,000 hours of TV, played 10,000 hours of video games, spent 10,000 hours on the phone, sent or received 250,000 texts or e mails
o 1 in 8 married couples met online
o If MySpace were a country it would be the 8th largest in the world
o “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” -Albert Einstein
In this video I think there were many interesting facts about humans and our habits. It is crazy what 21 year olds have done and how much time they have spent on technology. I believe that in the future the 21 year olds will have topped that by an outstanding amount. I also think that everything we do will be in contact with technology.

The machines are useing us
Mitchel L.
The Machines are using us
- Ø You can do anything with digital text
- Ø It is unliner on paper
- Ø Are we teaching the machine or is the machine teaching us
- Ø Every time we click the mouse the machine learns
- Ø Who is the machine
In the video "The Machines are Using Us" by Michael Wesch, I thought the video was very interesting and had many fascinating facts. In the begining of the video he starts to type on a word document page and demonstrates how you can do anything with digital text. He links pages to the paper, he puts hyperlinks onto the page, and moves stuff around with the touch of a button. He also says that paper is unliner and you can’t do whatever you want with it. Last, he is going through the web and changing things as he pleases, he is also looking at a website that talks about how we are teaching the machine. As he is scrolling down the page he stops and zooms in on a sentence that talks about how many links are clicked on per day by the user. It also states that every time a page is clicked on and opens the machine learns. Last, he states that we are teaching the machine we are the machine.
