The aggregator that I chose to use was Google Reader. Because I am so familiar
with google, this was easier for me to use.
The first web site that I added to my RSS feed was energybulletin.net. I found this
site interesting because it shows people the other side of addiction to modern technology.
It is important for people to appreciate information about the effects technology has on
the world. This web site discusses effects such as global warming and the peak oil crisis.
The other blog that I added to my feed was “Scientific Advances of the Future.”
This blog talks about the future of technology. As I was reading, it reminded me of the
first three articles I read for this class. Like Bush, Licklider andEngelbart, the writer
predicted what he saw as the future based on the current technology trends. It would also
be interesting to see if any of his predictions come true as well.
The next blog that I have chosen to add to my aggregator is entitled “Social Networking and Searching are not
Revolutionizing the Web as We Know it.” I chose this
blog because the writer talked about social networks such as facebook and myspace, and
the debate on whether they are revolutionizing the internet or simply a waste of time.
This is an ongoing debate among many people and the author’s opinion was interesting.
The final blog that I chose for my aggregator is called “Modern Technology.”
This blog was interesting to me because the author talked about how far scientists have
come in fifty years. The author discusses how the tools that enable scientists towork has
advanced and significantly improved their research. It is rather interesting to see how the
advancement of technology has improved many aspects of the social world.
Interesting. So why did you pick these certain sites about technology?
