“But today, at this moment, we can and must design the media, design the molecules of our new water, and I believe the details of this design matter very deeply. They will be with us for a very long time, perhaps as long as man has left; perhaps if they are as good as they … Continue reading Computer Lib / Dream Machines Nugget →

Computers are simply a necessary and enjoyable part of life, like food and books. Computers are not everything, they are just an aspect of everything, and not to know this is computer illiteracy, a silly and dangerous ignorance. I chose this nugget because it is relevant to how I think of computers in my personal … Continue reading Computer is Food Nugget →

Any nitwit can understand computers, and many do. Unfortunately, due to ridiculous historical circumstances, computers have been made a mystery to most of the world. And this situation does not seem to be improving. You hear more and more about computers, but to most people it’s just one big blur. I chose this nugget because … Continue reading Computer Nuggets →

“We are coming to recognize that schools as we know them appear designed at every level to sabotage the supposed goals of education. A child arrives at school bright and early in his life. By drabness we deprive him of interests. By fixed curriculum and sequence we rob him of his orientation, initiative and motivation, … Continue reading Computer Lib / Dream Machines Nugget

One thing I have found to be amazing about the internet is how accessible it is; however, I know that the technology that is so easy to access in the United States and other developed countries, I’m curious how widespread internet-access has become in developing countries and extremely rural areas of the world. From personal … Continue reading Inquiry Project Proposal 1

I am taking this class called Intro to African American Studies, and my professor introduced the “concept” of authenticity to us. Authenticity is used to distinguish the value of something, while devaluing the thing it’s distinguishing. In simpler terms, it is the concept, or the lack there of, of valuing something that has just happened […]

Engelbart mentions how as man in population and gross product increases, so does the complexity of his/her problems, as well as the urgency for the solution.  I think that the two variables kind of correlate with each other in an interesting way.  To further elaborate, I agree with Engelbart that as our human activity grows, so do … Continue reading Augmenting Human Intellect Nugget →

I love reading my classmates blogs. Most of them are very intellectual and others are funny. I actually get inspired from their blog posts to write mine. I try to be creative and write on the spot what I feel, which is what I do sometimes, but sometimes I just like getting a feel of […]

I always stumble on the though of happiness. I never know how to explain it and it gets frustrating. Happiness is a thing that one always desires, because who wants to be miserable all the time? I always think of where I am in that certain point in my life; I do so because I […]

Wow! Has it been five weeks already? It felt kind of quick. That may be due to the work we do everyday. Granted, I am fairly slow on my work, I still think about the class everyday which probably makes it seem even faster.

I was looking in the rain one day and thought to myself, “do I like the rain?” It seems common for people to associate rain with sadness. Let’s think about that. Why does the rain create a sad mood? I suppose the lack of sunlight might play a factor into it. The fact that most … Continue reading Fun Time In The Rain (Random Post) →

This was definitely the hardest assignment in the class. I found it extremely difficult to make sense out of random sentences. It took me at least 6 hours to set everything up let alone write it. My confusion and frustration was reduced when I read some of my other classmates’ post. Everyone seemed to have … Continue reading My Reaction – Integrated Domain Review →

For my project, I want to focus on social media (Facebook, Instagram, and maybe even YouTube). More specifically, the psychology of the people using it. I want to know why people use social media so often, why they feel that it’s safe to put so much information online, and the possible dangers or benefits of … Continue reading Danger of Identity (Inquiry Project) →
