Myspace, My place

Myspace is a place to be anyone you want.  You can upload pictures, add friends, make friends and upload videos.  Myspace is very popular in todays generation.  Every teenager, ages 14 to 19 has one and even some older people.  
I did a test on myspace and made a wild profile nothing like me at all set up an account and just added random people to see who would add me.  I had over 100 friends, and I didn't know a single one of them.  Myspace can be a very dangerous place if your not careful incase of stalkers, sexual pedophiles and cyber-bullies.

Going Shoeless

An Iraqi news journalist threw his shoes at President Bush during his last visit to Iraq as President.  The man felt like President Bush was a tyrant to the Iraqi people.  Throwing a shoe in Iraq is one of the greatest forms of disrespect.  I think it was a ridiculous insult, because we have helped them in many ways, and they disrespect our country like that.

Journalism at its Best

Semantic Journalism is a vision of the future for journalism.  In this class we are taught how to deal with a form of Semantic Journalism.  This process of Journalism is all done on the web through sources such as Wikipedia and other online sources.  Semantic Journalism is a faster more efficient way of writing, you can check yourself, your topics; anything from the base of your own home or wherever you write.  Semantic Journalism is becoming a very popular writing method in todays generation.
Some people do not agree with Semantic Journalism due to the fact that they like the old way things were done.  They would rather wait until; it is issued in the paper and read it there.  Semantic Journalism is very up to date and I believe that it should be embraced rather than pushed out.

Where in Space

Space,  such a controversial topic.  We see it in movies and it looks so real, but it we know it is just a movie, we see pictures and we wonder "Can this be real?".  Space has always amazed me in so many ways.  We know it's there, and yet we still question ourselves.  If a man can make the Universe look so real in movies such as Star Wars or Rocket Man how are we to know if space is real.  What is space, is it real?  We see the stars, Sun and Moon and yet we can still question did someone really land on the Moon, are there really satellites floating out there somewhere.  Is this picture manmade or is it real?  I couldn't tell you.
