Personal Experiences


I completely agree with the article “Rigor Redefined” because I have had my own personal experiences with this. I was volunteering over the summer and when I went in for an interview the lady said that I needed to ask good questions. Asking good questions is a key thing is school to because your just learning how to do these things and same with in the work world. Leadership and teamwork is another thing that is taught in schools today. We use these when we are put in groups with other students. There are some cases where one kid does all the work but others where every body does there part and gets the project done. That is why I completely agree with this article because of my personal experiences.

The video "Wed 2.0...The Machine is Us/ing us" is a very powerful video on the machines we use. This made me think about all those movies like Terminator and I Robot where we put so much information into the machine that it kills us. I'm not saying that the internet is going to do that but maybe the internet is leading to greater advancements in technology. These advancements might be able to hurts us. Like people think that it would be so cool to have a car that can drive itself we will think that right up until it fails or crashes. So that got me thinking that we might have a machine that thinks for itself? If we do how are we going to fix that problem? We can't build another machine. We will have to face the fact that we can't go to far with this, some things we will have to do ourselves. That is what the video made me think of that we can't try to fix whats not broken.
