Reflexion

Really can you imagine going to research a topic for an important paper on this search engine?!? ,I know I couldn’t. I mean backrub sounds so spa-ish, I wouldn’t think it would be a search engine in the first place; but that’s how Google started out with a bad name and now with a changed name and owning 65% of the internet’s search traffic. Click , made me realize how we the users made these pages that only 10 people used rich, but not only we by using their websites have made them rich but their effort and their key to success their promoters!

Reflexion: E-waste

Everyone use these electronic devices, but when they become obsolete do you realize were they are ending up? They are ending up in countries where day by day they work on these fields covered in e-waste trying to get what is useful in order to sell it. By doing such a thing, they are exposing their selves to harmful toxic chemicals, their putting their lives in risk; and now not only their own but their children’s lives as well. What would you feel seeing your kid in all this toxic e-waste like the child on your right?( http://stevehavas.com/Tess/?page_id=14)
These companies instead of doing a good job on “recycling” the e-waste, their sending it out and with this killing people slowly and or exposing people to their harmful chemicals. Bottom line e-waste is killing the people and the world. Can you believe: “about 25 million TVs are taken out of service yearly.” Also, “Currently, less than 20 percent of e-waste entering the solid waste stream is channeled through companies that advertise themselves as recyclers, though the number is likely to rise as states like California crack down on landfill dumping.”(http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2008/01/high-tech-trash/carroll-text/3)

Reflexion: Digitilizing Books

Digitizing books is a good thing if you’re a student, but it would not be such a good thing if you were an author trying to sell your book. Being a student and not having to go to a library and be there for hours trying to find information on whatever topic you’re looking for, and as easy just to type in any keyword and find “THE” book is a life saver; also is less time consuming. Now that we have that point across think about an author, one who works very hard to create a book and then once you get published and start selling your books; suddenly it stops because a company decides to make your book digitalize and you won’t get a profit, it’s a bummer. If they can weight this controversy and make it balance, I think that it will work just fine; students having their lifesaver and authors being recognized and being paid. I found an article talking more about this controversial topic, the link is http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jwX47cmpyiEWp7aVdG5nvCnbiPwA

Reflexion: Weaving the Web

When I read the 1st chapter of “Weaving the web”, personally I was confused I had to read it twice to fully understand what the author point he was trying to get across. I liked how he talked about his family, that gave really good incite and explanations on why he had become interested in such ideas and his creation. Also, I like how he gives credit to other inventors and not only call it his own giving his self full credit. This chapter is a bit tricky as I just said but If you get to read this chapter and you are interested in learning about who created www, this should be the book you should read.
