Journalism being written off?

Journalism. The topic of us humans receiving current news and events. Everyone is involved in journalism somehow. Whether it be watching the news, reading the newspaper, or going on the web to read some news. Not into news? Journalism is also involved in the sports world, where they would talk about either the best team in world, or the most iconic player in the nation.The whole world would pretty much be a wreck without journalism, cause again, how would we get our news? How would we keep up with current events? Without that, we would not know anything about the place we live in.
With everything being said so far, journalism is not what it used to be. Back then everyone would need to purchase newspapers in order to keep up with the ongoing events. But everything has to keep up with the times, that means that newspaper industry has been slowing down. People have been layoff, and for those companies to make a profit, it has been a real struggle. Companies like The New York Times has been offering subscriptions to members that want to keep up, probably to keep in business.
So, with the newspaper industries slowly dying. One, maybe multiple might ask; Where is Journalism going? My prediction is that it would be HEAVILY involved with technology. Why? People are involved with social media as it is, so for example, if a disaster happened, like a plane crashing, someone can just take a photo of it, upload it to twitter, instagram, or facebook and it will start trending like crazy. But from a journalists standpoint, it adds a level of convenience for them because they can research and post from where. The New York Times also started to step foot here by having an app that people can just open to read news about politics, natural disasters, or just local events. That is where I think journalism is headed, getting involved with technology and eventually killing off the newspapers.

Intelligence is artificial?

Believe it or not, artificial intelligence has existed for a long time. It all started with a person named Alan Turing. It first starts with his cracking of ‘enigma’, which was an enciphering machine, used by the Germans to secretly send messages with a security blanket over it. Turing was determined to crack the codes, which then resulted him having the title of The Father of Artificial Intelligence. He also had a testing method called; The Turing Test, which is basically a human evaluates conversations between a human and a machine in order generate human like responses.   In 1956, Artificial Intelligence was born at Dartmouth College. Along with that, ELIZA was created on 1964 until 1966. The concept of ELIZA is an early natural language processing computer program. Moving on, there was someone, who of course was concerned of Artificial Intelligence. His name was Marvin Minsky. He was actually the winner of the Turing Test. And the funding for Artificial Intelligence was heavy.

Online Shopping

We had to present a topic we were interested in one of my classes, Living In a Virtual World. My group chose to research drones and everything about them. Every topic that was being presented were all interesting, from cyber crime, to Artificial Intelligence. But one of the ones that I am choosing to write about is Online Shopping, one of the other topics that a group presented. Online shopping is starting to become way more common than anyone thought it would be. It brings in a different experience from driving to the store, grabbing an item, and then lining up to get ringed up at a register by a cashier. The similarities between regular shopping and online shopping is that there is a cart of some sorts that carries your items. At a store, there is a shopping cart to put your items in. In online, there is a section that is named ‘cart’ to bookmark the items you plan on purchasing. There is also customer service available for both, if needed. One of the differences is that, when y

When I chose my courses for my first quarter, I chose to be in this class called 'Living In a Virtual' because I needed an elective credit. But I did not just choose this just because it was an elective. I chose this because I wanted to learn about the virtual world. The course name attracted me, all the other courses seemed interesting, but not attractive enough for me to sign up for them. As a kid, I always had thoughts about how does technology work with other sets technology. I am not the biggest expert of social media or video games, but I am also the person with the most knowledge about social media and technology in my family. So I pretty much use it well enough where I want to learn about the internet, the history computers, the communications with other technology, and how technology has changed over the years. So I hope I get to have a better understanding about the 'virtual world'. I hope I get to have the knowledge necessary to teach and tell others about
