Five sources

 The first source that I use for news and information is The NY Times. I use this for many different reasons, for example, it’s one of the oldest newspapers that is sent throughout the country, which sort of makes it reliable enough to read and believe most of the information. The NY Times also keeps you up to date with many different topics of information compared to some of the other sites. Adding to all different topics, they also tend to have way more international news when up against the rest of the sites for news in the US.

The second source I will talk about is BBC World news. Since I am an International Business major, I always tend to be more interested in the news happening outside our country to really compare the things that happen in both places and see if there are similarities. There's sometimes cultural, political, or even similarities on how the population is reacting to whatever event that is occurring. Then also, BBC helps me see stories that if I find interest in, I can go dig deeper into what happened on other news sites based in the country to find even more.

The third source is the Associated Press. This website ever since high school has been drilled into my brain that this is one of the most unbiased news outlets in the world because the journalists don't have a side politically on stories, but also the stories they do tell, normally have evidence to back up what their saying. Unlike, many new sites who just report whatever they hear first from the public or from source. Another big reason on why I like using this site is they get directly to the point and not telling a whole story for one little important piece of information.

The fourth source I will be talking about is PBS news hour. This isn't a site used by many people from my experience throughout the years but this source is pretty reliable when trying to get everyone's side of the story. Freshman year of college I believe, a professor told me about this website because it showed both the left and the right's views on the information. I have always been a centrist person for political views and always like hearing from other people's points of view to have more clarity on the subject at hand.

The fifth source I will be talking about is The Wall Street Journal. This site has tremendously helped over the four years at High Point. With all the business classes I had to take, at least a handful of times we used this as a resource in almost every one. It keeps you up to date on all of the current business and other information. If mostly all my professors were using it as a source for their work, it sure seemed smart to start looking through it, as a source for me.

In the age of AI

 In The Age Of AI Right from the beginning I knew it was gonna be an interesting video because one of the first things said was, we're not searching google but their searching us. This makes total sense just because the amount of personalized ads that happen throughout the day, that are specifically targeting something I am looking for or something that I had talked about recently. I truly don't know how ads pop up randomly for something I was just thinking about the other day, this just creates more doubt in how truly safe are we using the internet or electronic devices. On the plus side though, AI has benefitted tremendously with work in the medical field. What i mean is that, they were able to use technology to scan through hundreds of patients and after the AI goes through them with code installed to check for certain things within the documents, to determine results of cancer, like if they have it or could be developed in the next few years. This is huge for the community

Privacy Online and off

 Privacy Online & Off My family hasn't been personally hacked or anything but I know many people that have been and it ruins their life some but it normally just is in inconvenience to some ones life to have to go through the process of getting stuff back or having to start from scratch, because they had to change all new accounts. The information in the videos was very alarming in some aspects. For example the faces company selling millions of face identifications to Facebook and nothing was really done about it. I truly never heard anything about it really and that's pretty significant, just having them be able to sell that information without any notice to the people is alarming. Then the fact that there is only like three things that is really protected from anyone to see, and its only apple friendly or WhatsApp. I am very happy to know that my iPhone does that, but now knowing that everything else isn't secured is scary. The government should be looking into ways s

Bluetooth

 What Is Even Bluetooth? First off, whenever I think of Bluetooth, I think of the car, wireless headset, cell phone, and so many other devices, but truly until now, I had no clue what Bluetooth really was and how it even worked. It all started in 1994 when Dr. Jaap Haartsen had the task to figure out how to find short range radio connections. He used UHF radio waves to create technology able for Bluetooth, but he also had to make sure it was able to hop through the WIFI because it used the same frequency to make it as reliable as possible. Interestingly enough, ever since, that year they created the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) to help advance the technology as we progress, and involves many leaders from leading tech companies. This all happened because the discovery of radio waves, if there was no such thing, we wouldn't have many things we use in our daily lives. The progression of radio waves started from Heinrich Hertz proving a past scientists theory on radio waves,
