It seems like one of the big deals with technology anymore is how energy efficient it is. This is why I chose to bookmark this site. This site fills you in on all of the current news about green technology's. This can be useful to anyone because anything that uses electricity can be made to be more energy efficient. This also includes computers which we all love so dearly.

I chose to bookmark this site because of recent class discussions about fast food and its negative effects on the United States. This article does a great job illustrating just how fat America is. It includes a picture that shows how much obesity has increased in the United States over the years. It also has a table that shows the percentage of people in each state that are obese. Last year 26.3% of people in Indiana alone were obese. This is insane to think about! More than a quarter of the people in this state have problems with their weight. I wonder if this is a direct result of all the fast food restaurants we have here in America.

So have any of you ever considered building a new computer and not know what processor to get, and the best processor for the least amount of money? I found this article which helps clarify things immensely! This can relate to CIT because at some point, if we stay in this career plan, we will all need to know something about processors and their performance. It also proves a great source if you are just wanting to work on a project at home. It can definitely help you find the best deal for your dollar.

The New America Foundation's Open Technology Initiative has published a report called Bandwidth Caps for Residential High Speed Internet in the US and Japan I remember us talking in class one day about the bandwidth limitations we have here in the United States. I found this site which clearly supports this fact. The table that is posted on this site give a clear visual example of how much slower our download speeds are here in the US, and also that we pay an absurd amount of money compared to Japan to surf the internet. Not only is the United States ranked 27th in average internet download speeds, but we are paying a lot of money for these slow download speeds. For example, you could pay $60 a month for internet whose download speed would max at 10mbps, and an upload speed of 512kbps when you could pay $60 a month over in Japan for a download and upload speed of 100mbps! So essentially we are paying the same amount of money for internet that is ten times slower than what we could get it for over in Japan.

Here is a site that shows how the bible contradicts itself numerous times throughout. It also gives examples of rape, murder, and other things that you can find in the bible. Here's a funny quote from the bible: Deuteronomy 22:23-24 NAB "If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her." What kind of lunatic would make a rape victim marry her attacker? I just think its hilarious how the best selling book in the world is so contradictory, but yet such a contradictory book is used as the basis of so many religions.

I chose this site because it goes along well with the 5 rules that Ernest Hemingway mentioned, and it also relates to what we are reading in Style.One of the main points that Hemingway had was to not over-emphasize what you are trying to get across to the reader when you are writing. This statement is backed up by Lewis when he suggests to clear language so that you don't confuse your reader. Style is all about making sure that your writing is clear and easy to read. Lewis clearly agrees with this idea, stating that you shouldn't always use longer versions of words or abstract nouns. The main purpose of writing is to make sure that the reader understands what you are writing about, not to confuse them.
