funny idea

"Never has a communications system played so many roles in our lives-or exerted such broad influence over our thoughts-as the Internet does today." This idea is extremely true in my life as I feel much of my communication is via text, facebook, or email. I at times almost finding myself losing touch with reality and physical contact and becoming complacent sending some non emotional or important information to a friend. The lack of physical communication can at times make me feel like a recluse. But at the same time, the easy and quick nature of this new technology almost makes it difficult to go back to the way things were

"Just as there's a tendency to glorify technological progress, there's a countertendency to expect the worst of every new tool or machine." This too is another really important point, the efficiency of the Net and other sources via the computer should not entirely take the place of reading of books and other sorts of literature that existed far before the Net. Much of what I read on the Net is useless chit chat that is merely for my entertainment. And the useful and thought provoking information on the Net is simply a copy of literature from a book or a law journal, it just is easier to access on my computer from my bed. In this regard, the Net is a great service, you just have to remember what information is useful and what information is not.

The recurring theme that the Net is an extension allowing Google and other companies to feed us more advertisements and learn more about us is somewhat startling. The fact that every website and email we write can be tracked and looked at is a little invasive to say the least. In this sense, the Net's alluring attractions are also a trick to market us and use our information to exploit our monies.

similar system to what we are thinking of doing our website on

"First of all, this blog looks boring. I was thinking why is he adding a picture of a pit crew in an education theme? Plus, the whole blog design is full of cluttering and is very difficult to navigate through or search for new things. HOWEVER!" This post has a great voice, that by the first few sentences, is clearly very conversational and informal. The use of questions replicate a real conversation where in you interact with the listener or reader. Then the dramatic use of HOWEVER shows expression and excitement. This in general makes the blog for me much easier to read as I don't have to be so serious and pay attention to every word. I like this voice for these reasons.

"Black applicants are more than five times as likely as whites to be accepted to private schools, and 220 times as likely to be accepted at public schools." This is a use of statistics that does more than merely display numerical data. The extreme nature of these statistics shows her voice in that it calls into question the validity of affirmative action and those that fervently support it

"Her words and voice shall enlighten the many ignorant who naively call opponents to affirmative racist. America is a land of opportunity, freedom, and most importantly equality. It is the barbaric mechanisms of discrimination such as affirmative action, that erode the perilous work America has done to establish itself as the great country it is today." This clearly shows my voice and my tone towards the issue of affirmative action
