I read an article named No More Librarians by Karl Fisch and it is an article about another article he read. It states that the man of the first article does not see the use of librarians anymore, because most learning is used on the internet. Personally, I have never read a whole novel over the internet ever before. Maybe, text books aren't needed on paper anymore because mostly all my text books are online that I can look up. Librarians at our school always look busy to me, checking in books, writing fees, helping students, delivering printed papers, and checking out books. Students still use the library to check out novels or biographys for papers in class and out. Some just read for fun but I think librarians are needed, because there's still work to be done.

I read an article called, RDU New! by David Warlick and it shows that the RDU terminal has suspicous outlets under the seats. The man who wrote this article doesn't believe these outlets are used for anything good. He doesn't know exactly what but the only wifi in the terminal is TMobile and he finds that kind of weird also. I don't exactly know what these outlets are for but I believe this man is driving himself crazy over just outlets, how could these possibly be harmful?He says he will not trival with this airline again, because of these sketchy outlets. I don't believe American Airlines can be harmful in any way.

I read the article, 68-year-old Evergreen man killed in crash by Kirk Mitchell, the man drove his truck off the road and drove into a tree. He was not wearing a seatbelt and it happened last thursday night. What matters in this article is safety counts when your driving on the road because it can come out with dangerous consiquences. I think that you should always make sure your in a condition that you can drive. The man should of left earlier or just stayed where he was if he was that tired. It's so sad what a little thing can do to a persons life.

For my third PLN I read 2 Cents Worth “If it’s Not About Technology, Then what is It About?”. While reading I noticed that we use technology to do our work a lot more then we should. Students use the internet to do their homework and work rather than books, but the internet isn't always right.Technology, is upgrading daily and its uses are practically anything. Computers learn alot about everything because people ask questions daily. As technology increases more students will go to technology even more than books. Students don't realize how you can't just find the answer all the time and learn something, you need to search for it and figure out what is wrong and right. But it's another story when it is an online book that teachers pass out because the book will always have the answer that will be correct. Technology is changing lives more than we know, Is it a good change or a bad change?

The Machines are using us paragraph

In the movie, "The Machines are Using Us" it demenstrates the near future and how technology is going today. In the movie it says that typed text is easier and I believe they state that fact because there is many different types and styles of handwritting and some are sloppy, too small, too big, well its just really hard to read. Also links are very easy to use because you can click on onw word to take you to any site on the web, like sources. Different font codes define different styles and exaggerations in your writing. The movie pretty much believes we teach machines to be smarter by searching things that tell the machine about what is important.

Did you know video

In the video Did you know by Karl Fisch what matters is that the world is changing very fast. It also made me realize, in the next 8 seconds 34 babies are born, and i think its a huge amount of number for just 8 seconds. It practually shows India is full of great education because 100 people in india graduate speaking english, and our graduating students know some language but not really all of it very well. The video shows how some people cant keep there jobs very long, 1 in 2 workers have kept there jobs in 5 years, and I think that is pretty sad how much americans just give up and/or get laid off. In ten years they made new jobs/college majors which I believe is amazing because were finding a new job to do to help all of us out. The video also shows that 50% of 21year olds have created web content and that proves we are getting smarter with technology every year. At the end Mr. Fisch this is exponential times, but i believe everyone and everything is just getting more populated or smarter.
