BLOG POST #1

 My first and always go to for news has to be BBC. Through all the other news sources we have this day and age, I consider BBC to be the most respected, unbiased and most trustworthy. Although it is more world focused since this source is based in England, if there is any major event that ever occurs, I immediately check BBC. Although I am being redundant, BBC in my opinion, is the best source of reliable and unbiased news.

Another source I like to use is The Economist. It is decently non-partisan and the research and information is very thorough to say the least. Growing up as a kid, my father would ask me to read an article from the economist once a week. I believe not only is it useful for information in terms of the business world but will also just keep you more informed on life as well. Especially since I am tackling my way into the professional world as a talent acquisition specialist, keeping up to date on the economist will only help me out in the long run

Growing up my dad working on wall street, every morning he would read the Wall Street Journal before he started his day at work. Usually he tackled this task on his morning train rides to work. Since it is a news resource I have been so familiar with as a child, I use it as a resource from here and there. Although I did have a conversation with my Uncle recently on how he believed the Wall Street Journal is too biased nowadays to be a dependable resource, I've chosen to look the other way and continue my loyalty to this news resource due to my longtime rapport with it.

Another news source I use is NPR. I only recently started using this news source to really just double check information I see on BBC and the Wall Street Journal. The reason why I use this outlet is because a lot of my friends told me that's there number one source they use when it comes to news. So I use NPR here and there just to "keep up with the Joneses" in terms of my friends.

The last source I usually use is Vice News. This kind of source I use just for joy. It is definitely a source of news that millennials and Gen-Z's only use. Whatever I read from Vice News, I take with a grain of salt. Just a nice source to use if you're trying to read something different and mix things up.

Our Relationship with Technology

     This week, my weekly screen time on my cell phone is down 43%. With a daily average of 2 hours and 51 minutes. To be honest I am disappointed that my daily average is that high. And that’s 43% down? Incredible… I am always trying to make sure my phone screen time gets lower and lower every week. It is tough to do that though since my job incorporates me being on my phone making calls. But I want the best of both worlds. I want to be free of technology while still being able to get anything I want at the touch of my fingers. I know, that doesn’t really make sense now does it? I do appreciate everything technology has given me. Access to any information I want. Updates on current events in an instant. Knowing where a gas station is whenever I need gas, I am truly thankful. But I am always wary on technology having a negative effect on my life. I want to appreciate the life I have in front of me instead of wasting my days away on my cell phone or laptop.       Even though I am alwa

Some major topics we have discussed so far in this class have been the six clauses, or freedoms, of the first amendment. In addition, we have also gone over the eight values of free expression. A current event I can easily relate to these topics has to be the storming on the capitol that happened January 6th. What was supposed to be a protest spiraled into a riot, and what others may call a planned coup. Of course, the right to protest is protected in our first amendment. "Of assembly, to Petition". These two clauses of the first amendment made it possible for that gathering to happen. But what the first amendment did not condone was the proceeded storming, breaking and entering, and destruction of government property! That is just a perfect example of one of the 3 bedrock principles which state that the first amendment is not a shield against laws of general applicability. Some rioters tried and are still fighting that they should not be convicted because the President told

In the Age of AI

 For class, we had to watch a video on Artificial intelligence. Of course I have heard about artificial intelligence, but I have not really done much research on it myself. I never really understood the idea of how artificial intelligence would work. But the video started out explaining how artificial intelligence really works through the coding of deep learning. Deep learning is where the computer is given a specific goal and is given many experiences and trials of how it can complete that goal, in the end making it to that goal in ways a human could not even think of. Overall, there are some positives when it comes to artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence in the realms of medicine is going to be a huge help in the future. Not only will it make it easier for the doctor to process information and data, it can start by helping in early detection when it comes to cancers. In terms of national security with the use of artificial intelligence, I believe there are pros and cons.
