Book Evaluation

The book I had to evaluate it was “The Twilight of American Culture” by Morris Berman. I’m going to evaluate the author of this article. According to the book, “Morris Berman is an innovative cultural historian and social critic. He has taught at a number of universities in Europe and North America, and has held visiting endowed chairs at Incarnate Word College (San Antonio), the University of New Mexico, and Weber State University”. However, “The Twilight of American Culture” book is discussing the decline in American life and seeing the future for American life and expressing his disappoint of that future. I enjoy reading first few pages of the book and I hope I have the chance to read the whole book.  Here Mr. Berman talks about his book...

I cannot Think

What stated in the article happened to me exactly sometimes. I face this when I have a lot of homework to do during the week. So, I must agree with what this author mention because I make mistakes when my mind is busy and full of thoughts.  Also, I think that people sometimes try to move quickly and they end up mixing it up and confusion.
      With the generally accepted theory that we can do process only seven types of information at one time people try to deal with a lot of information. One example is cited reservations for airplane flight. There are too many companies and every one of them has various offers, discounts, and commitment. Trying to book that trip just overwhelm people make them choose the wrong option. And people keep trying to absorb information even if they cannot deal with it.

 Murray State provideds for its students a Worldcat  which is a database worksheet. Worldcat provides lists of all forms of media to the Internet at Murray State Library and libraries of other universities. I was able to find articles more useful by studies conducted by other universities, which was very difficult to find otherwise.
         I have searched for Computer Science article in worldcat only by using the Computer Science as keyword. Included the types of materials that have been indexed by worldcat; book, photos, audio, articles and more. Computer Science such a broad term I could come with huge number of results. These results are about everything do with Computer Science. Worldcat is helpful and wonderful because of the function controlled vocabulary, which was built in because it needs very little knowledge. Database also allows you to control what type of media that you want to see. There was also another post that worldcat was available that enables you to narrow your search.

Google Growth

Google will continue to grow at a rate that is now growing source of great concern to competing companies and investors. Investor hope that Google will keep the expansion and the acquisition of rival create huge profits. I think that the dot.com is still growing at a rapid rate, but I think it would be up to the selection of its relatively soon. When that happens, the strongest companies will swallow the smaller, resulting in an oligopoly. It will probably boil to Bing, Yahoo and Google. Google still has a head start on the publicity, and perhaps in the future will be that while some people think that this will be an issue, especially for fraudulent clicks. Since the groups believed that the rate of inflation for the fraudulent clicks and that they have programs to get around it. I think that Google is here to stay and continue to grow, and perhaps not with the same speed, but it remains to take the largest piece in the ads. Here is a video about how Google is growing fast....

Wikipedia

What was most suppressing me in this article and the most ironic is that Wikipedia was planned to be an online encyclopedia written by experts only. Also, the articles were planned to be peer reviewed and adjusted. However as we know anyone can change and edit a Wikipedia article and anyone can post on his article. Even though the reason for making Wikipedia what it looks now not as dependable or valuable since you would have to find and confirm the resources. The advantage the site being sit up this way is that it is not a traditional encyclopedia at Wikipedia there is everything that you can think of. Wikipedia hosts information in every filed that you would think about.

Subway Food

This week I needed information about Subway food is it really healthy so it could make me loss some weight. First resource I looked at was YouTube web site, I found the video above saying that Subway is ready to pay that lady a $ 1000 dollar each pound she is losing by eating Subway food.  I think that means Subway are sure of the quality they offer to their customers. Also, I went to Google search engine to find some information I found that some people share their own experience in Subway with others and most of their experience is interesting to read. Mostly their feedbacks were positive and encouraging other people to do so. What made these information worth to me is that they were experienced by others and gave a good results.

Copyright Questions

I think informational copyrights should be for 10 years as maximum because after 10 years the information will be old. Also, that could encourage people to raise their efforts to be more creative. I know that businesses live and profit because they improve and sell their information or software. It has to be protected or no businesses will no longer existing that make this type of product. Peer to peer networks seem to be overpowering and a waste of time trying to govern them and finally closed them. Peer to peer networks are cheap and can be moved quickly so I trust that they should be skipped while other issues are more important. The laws are confused to decide what would be the best, but a one year limit with penalty then after that keep everything the same. This is the best for businesses and users.
