In the article ''Is Google Making Us Stupid?'' by Nicholas Carr the author claims that if the engine ''google'' is some thing intelligent to use or it just our ability to find a lot of information quickly. To begin with a brain scientist have discovered that when our minds are calm and attentive the greater our concentration is the more richer our thoughts are. If we distracted we remember less,we understand less and learn less. Additionally  the net bombards us with messages and other different data every one of those interruptions break our train of thoughts. we end up with a  lack of connected thoughts. The true is that we never think deeply if we always googling,texting or surfing. Finally google doesn't slow us down in contrary the more we use google the more money its making. The more ads google is showing us the more it gain.As google give us all the information it a negative way to help to develop our mind we have to turn off our cell phones and computers to really start thinking. We can google everything we want but the true is that to be some one very brilliance not even gooling will help you.
   One idea in the passage that i thought that is very significant is when the author states that ''If we get  distracted, we understand less, remember less and learn less''. I agree with this because if you doing something and suddenly you have a call or message you stop doing what your doing and pay more attention to what have you receive or to who is calling. You forget or don't pay any more attention to what your was doing. I can relate this with me because there sometimes or most of the times that I'm doing homework and if i receive a message i answer back and start texting and don't concentrate doing homework anymore some times i even stop and leave it a side. Also while getting distracted we end up doing the things wrong or for example we don't pay attention to the directions

In the article ''Rewired'' by Rosen,PH.D. Talks about the way people or kids learn. They author gives several reasons on how technologies such as the Internet and mobile devices are use as teaching tools. And how they related them as social life.Firts if school work involves technology's then students need to be directed doing there work for period of time followed by others activities and then back to there studies and the cycle continues until homework is done school work is done with technology or without tech should social networks,texting and other tech pipelines. They considered it there social life and we cannot deny them that with helps them develop and grow. But you can use there love of technology to make school work more fun. An idea in the passage that i think is especially significant is when it states that we can use there love of technolgy to make there school work more fun. I agree with this because in the Internet you can find sites that  help kinds and adults to study and learn more about  there weaknesses in materials in school. Its less boring  using technology there also some sites in the intenet that while playing you are learning. You can have fun and learn with out noticing. Most prefeir to study using technology than reading books. I find that studing by reading books it so boring and it just makes people go to sleep. While using a computer there more things happening. Also in this days when some one wants to know about something they just go directly to search it in the internet. They use technology find it more easy and fast to find the information they want.

According to the article ''Let them eat fat'' by Greg Critser the author claims that eating unhealthy food is not so good to our body because some times we just eat food that our body don't need. The author give several examples of why people go to buy fast food and ignore that they eating unhealthy. To begin with fast food and national restaurants chains like''krispy kreme'' has been criticism by nutrition's and dietitians. But however most of them owned sprinkled in to the stuck portfolios of many striving Americans. For example one of every four hamburgers at Mc Donalds is purchase by inner city costumer.Secondly the cheap meals and the sales ''gimmuck'' also know as ''supersizing encouraged people to go eat to out side there home for example a kid for an extra senty nine cents can order a cheeseburger, small fries and small coke or will said a cheese burger plus a super sized coke and super size french fries. Super sized French fries is more that the weight of a regular order. Thirdly we have to know how many calories we need each day in our body's.Fast food and eating orders like the one with the coke and fries can add up to 680 calories or more than 1.340 calories. According to the very generous U.S dietary guidelines about 1.340 calories represent more than half of a recommended daily caloric consumption. And the added calories are protein poor but fat and carbohydrate rich. Most people don't think of the calories they eat and when they hungry they want something fast. They don't think it twice to go to a fast food restaurant. Although they don't see  that they doing a bad to there body and health.And idea that i think is significance in the article is when it talks about the supersizing because sometimes is often that in restaurants they have great deals like a dollar menu or like in Burger King that they have the two for four. It very cheap and people prefer to eat that instead of cooking also they don't waste a lot of money and don't wait a lot to get their order. I have experience this because sometimes when i am very hungry and don't feel like cooking i go out to buy fast food. But after i eat i start thinking how many calories i just eat. But know when i hungry  i reject to go out side to eat unhealthy food and instead i eat a plate of cereals with plain low fat milk. also eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. I also has been stop of drinking sodas and liquids that have gas. I drink now water or juice i think that is more healthy.

Blog 3.4

Leo a pig meets Moopheus a cow and  ask him if he wants to know about the Meatrix. Tells him that the meatrix is all around him also tell him that is the story were we tell our self about were meet and animals comes also tell him that he lives in a fantaci world. He takes the red pill to view the truth.There several reasons that he sees and starts believing in the meatrix. Firts, He sees animal cruelly were the animals are tread bad. whera cruel conditions can cause fights and disease among the animals they also started adding constant doseasesos antibiotics to there feed just to keep the wreches alive. Second, antibiotic resistant germs were 12 millions pounds of excrement pollutes the air and ground water. That the reason why communities near factory sometimes suffer of high levels of related sicknesses. Third the massive pollution factory farming corporation have been destroying communities since 1950 over 2 millions of hog farms have been disappeared if they keep like that they would not bee any real independent family farm.Finally the matrix is a lie were we tell our self about where our food comes from.

Secoun summary                                                                                                                                  
A moder day daily factory is were most cows spend there hole life and with unhealthy conditions. To begin with antibiotic abuse are giving to the animals were they pump the poor animals with RBGH, and artificial growth hormone. Secondly artificial hormone were the cows are being separate from there mothers at birth and are being feed with cows blood instead of milk.Finally mad cows were the disease can be spread by this unnatural profit. These are several reasons why they live unhealthy.

Third summary
A factory like that can process five thousand cows in a single day. But there are two unfairly conditions for example the dangerous work conditions they getting injured in the insame of spreed. Meat packing is teh most dangerous jod in teh nation .Secountly manures is the meat were manure's get everywhere for example leaking from the intestine right to the meat.

The article ''The net is the real world'' by Jake Simms and Larry Madid. The authors claim that invading other privacy is wrong and could end in tradegys.They give several reasons why invading others can lead to traragys. Firts, Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei were found guity of invating Tyler Clementi pravacy. Ravi activated a wed camara in the dorm that Ravi and Clementi share. Clementi ask for the room till midnigh and Ravi went to Molly room turned on the camara and saw clemeti making out with a dude. Images of Tyler and the man were spread out live on the internet. Clementi had jumped from the top of the Georgina Washington into the Hudson River. New Jersy's privacy law makes it a crime to trasmit or view nude images or sex acts of someone without the person approval Rutgers students were upset and one said ''It my private space'' i expect my privacy to be respect and to be able to do what ever i want.. There should be no one invading my pravacy. Secound  Anne Coller pointedout that this story is not about technolgy, but inhumanity. Grag Sandoval made a similar point he said that humans, not machines are responsable for clementi death. Third professor Jonh Suler put it in his free1996 online book ''The psychology of cyberspace'' were people say and put things in the cyberspace that they would not ordinary say or do in the face to face world. It was real for Tlyler because real people were witnessing an intimate act from his dorm room that he had right to assume was taking place in private. In my opinion i think that it inrespectful to invated others privacy because it something personal that people dont have to care or know about what they doing or were they are at. The athors explaned that invating others can have an negative effect like the story of Clementi. A personal experience that

Blog Entry 3.2

The article ''The Cybor Advantage by Clive Thompsson wired magazine'' April 2010. Is about who are smarts people or machines in the days. Several examples were giving to decide. First example was back in the 1997. Where IBM'S Deep blue // super computer beat Garry Kasparou at chess. Deep blue won because these machines can perform endless lighningbots fast calculations and humans cant. They decide that instead of competing why humans and computers work as a team. To find out if this work they created what was call advanced chees where each player were assisted by off the shelf software. Each competition enter a position of there piece into a computer and used the move that the program recommended them. This time the winner was not one of super computers. It was a pair of twenty something amateurs using run of the mill pcs and inexpensive apps.They knew better how to enter moves. They decided it when to consult the software and when to Deni it advise. They were average brained people who are very good at blending their smart with machines. Now in these days most people use a computer to find everything they want to. They find music, movie videos, news, TV programs. They are related to the wed of facebook,hi5,music,videos,news or even t.v programs and other different ones where they get to know people from others different places they chat and make new friend.Most people shop by the Internet. And avoy those long lines to pay or the crow it people that are in the stores. My opinion is that is good that the technology has increase rapidly. Because we can do a lot of things that before we couldn't. Now there a debate about when we should use technology. There is no answer because everyone things differently. Its a personal quest.

Blog Entry 2.1

My archetype is Magician. It involves in concepts such as knowledge, confidence,action and creation.Some strength about this archetypes are that magicians don't seek to find answers from someone else, but goes withing to access inner truths. I think that this archetypes relates a lot with me because i am a person that went want to find information about something i look it my own. It also says that magicians choose to  live beyond the ordinary and realize that the opportunity to enter the realm of the miraculous lies in every action we make. in other word any opportunity we have is lead to the decision we make.
  We have several example of magician in the media.''In the Hero within'' Carols,Peaeson writes that the warrior has an elistist myth that personify the notion that some people take their heroic journeys while others simply serve and decide to sacrifice. She claims that killing the dragon set to solve the problem will not bring us closer to the world peace. Differently the warrior who fights to overcome challenges believes that she or he cannot have what they most desire. While the magician believes in infinite and potential. Medicine men, wizards,shamans witch doctors,scientist and inventors have been connected to the archetype of magician.. We have examples of magician in the media.
                                                                                                                         
  In the novel ''Keeper Of The Dream'' the prominent archetype that dominates the early years of earth Ma'es life is described as the martyr. She represents her own feeling sacrifice her health and focuses on helping others. She change out of this stage of her life and archetype becomes dominant in her soul. She makes her own way in the world and learners independence. Then during her vogage down the Mississippi river as earth Mae begins to discover the depth of her own personal power. She develops qualities of the magician.
     Magicians can have a good and a dark side, for example the audience of Lord Of The Rings learns that magical power can destroy the world. In Tolkiens Triology the hobbit Frodo receive the if the ring falls into the world so the story involves to destroy the ring.And the destroyer of the ring by that act gives maximal power for the good of all. In the lord of the ring various character lead by the power of the ring and were understand that the true battler between good and evil is no so much out there as inside ourselves, as we learn to decide the positive over the the evil.Also the archetype of magician is powerful in spring and it relates directly to transformation.

entry 1.4

How could you react if you find out that your being watch by millions of people ,24 hours of day on television all around the world.You might be a little scared .

In the show of Truman directed and created by ,Cristof.Use the protagonist Truman Burbank as the main character in the move.In which he makes his life in a perfect world.where nothing is real .He does not count and does not have any decisions to do what he wants.Always been watch by all the people .The town is being controlled by the "Creator" Cristof. Its based on a person not having freedom and hallucinating that's lives in the real world,but is not like that.

Trueman a common man and somehow innocent person lived on the town named seaheaven and never had left the town .When also everything was perfect to him did not had any problems on his life .Truman's life has been film thouht out millions of hidden cameras all 24 hours of the day transmitted on life all around the world .Since he was burn.But he was not aware of the things around him until some.

Thought  the movie he started to discover thats there wear things going on for example when a lightbuld almost hit him .When he hears a conversation going on about the Trumans show by mistake on hims radio  car .These events made Truman ask about his life.He realized that all the town revolved around him.Truman tryed to escape of seahavent But  a series of problems .Like there were any fight and damages on the buses.

Finally at the end of the movie he cansee the purpose of the show and the creator that considered Truman his creator.He takes care of him ,but he really dont.

The background of the movie show Truman world terrible .Where absolutly everything is a lie Truman it only the object of the cruel experiment .The protagonist even determin Trumans fears witch were the water, dogs and the risck  to tracel in general .Truman is the prisiner of his own life ,he does not know other world only the one he lives on.

And occasion when i feel like Truman that i was not living on the "real world" was when i just started high school everything was fine.I did not work and my parents gave me what i needed it.It was from home to school land ,school to home , and doing homework and nothing else .But it was a time when my family had economic problems .So i decided to work .I had never work before .A friend took me to her work.She worked on a factory .It was summer and it was very hot .In my first week it was horrible .The second day i was very tired and was thinking to quit.But i knew that i handed to stay.I realize that life was not easy, and getting the money either .At first it was hard going to school and working, and finding the time to do homework.I never thought that would be so difficult .I started seeing the real world.

Entry 1.2

Joseph cambell states that we all heroes every day. I agree with him because we always go out to an adventure every where we go something happens or something positive we do to help others.                                                 
      September 21, i had no classes and thought that i was going to be sleeping until 10.00 or 11.30. But it was not like that i receive a call from my brother at 7.00 am. And told me if i could go leave my niece to school because he had to go a little early to work. He told me that she had to be at 8;30 at her school. I told him that it was okay. I had to to get up from bed and get ready. I was kind of angry and wish i never receive that call. At 7,30 i was ready and my niece was waiting for me. She was happy because i was taking her to school. When we were there she hug me and game a kiss on my cheek. I was surprise i never waited for this. On my way home i was thinking how joyful my niece was and i was not angry.
    I never though that she would surprise me this way. After i came home i try to sleep but i could not so i decided to do some breakfast for me. After that i did some house cleaning i finish at 11.30. I call my brother and ask him who was going to go pick my niece. He told me that he was about to call me again so i could go. Because my sister in law could not make it i say okay i will go. At 2.30 i went back to her school and waited for her to she saw me and came to me and din not even ask why her mom did not came. She looked so exited and on the way home she told me everything she learner in school. My brother came to pick her up later and gave me the thanks and gave me $20.00.                                                                                                 At the end i realize that i was my brother hero because they could not find anyone available to go leave her to school and call me to know where i was and if i was free. My reward was money but some thing more valuable was when my niece kiss me and hug me. I will never forget that moment.
