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.
