I read the article "Man killed outside Springs Walmart identified" by Kieran Nicholson when a man gets killed outside of walmart what matters from this is innocent people are being shot for no reason because some people are crazy. In this article it expalins a guy was walking outside of Walmart and he got shot for no reason. This matters to me because I go to Walmart and other places where I could be shot for no reason. This matters to education because if this happens at a school kids will miss school days. This matters to the world because there are millions of Walmarts and places like it where Innocent people could be killed. To conclude Innocent people are being killed by crazy people for no reason.

In the video Web 2.0 ... The Machine is us/ing us it made me think that the machines aren't using us we are using them. I think this because we are using all of their capability for our selves. This matters because if the machines start using us they could take control of the world. This matters to me because if the machine starts using me I will be forced to do whatever they want. This matters to education because if the machines start using us then we won't be able to learn stuff and we will slowly become less smart. This matters to the world because if machines start using us we may never gain control back. To conclude we must never let the machines use us.

In the article Denver sets record temperature for Sunday at 96 degrees by Tom Mcghee and it made me think if global warming keeps on getting worse soon the temperature will be to hot to live with. It matters because we may die if the Earth gets to hot. If the Earth gets hoter and the sun gets hoter then it will be impossible too live on earth. This matters to me because It might be too hot someday to ever enjoy live. This matters to education because if it gets to hot students will be to hot and sweaty to focus on their work. This matters to this world because the Earth might be too hot someday to live on. To conclude global warming has raised our temperature records at it need to stop.

I read the article Footprints in the Digital Age by Will Richardson and it made me think whatever I post on a social network it can affect my future. It matters because it can make it so people don't get accepted into the collage they want to go to. This matters to me because it can effect what collage I get into. This matters to education because kids might give away their answers on a social network to a friend and it will make their friend less smart. This matters to the world because anyone can know what you're doing where you live or what you do and figure out other information. To conclude you should think about how each post can affect your future.

In the article At least 63 structures burned in fire near Boulder by Joey Bunch, Bruce Finley and Kevin Vaughan. It matters because forest fires can damge a lot of difrent things. It says that at least 63 structures have been burned in the Boulder area because of a fire that has been burning many areas and has burned 35,000 acres. Nobody knows the cause of the fire yet but they will investigate once they stop the fire. It matters to me because if the fire keeps on burning it could cause a lot of damage and pollute more of the air to cause more global warming so my future will be worse. This matters to education because schools might have been burnt down and the kids have to leave the area and miss shcool so they wont be able to learn.This matters to the world because it is causing globel warming and also killing a lot of trees making it so we have less oxygen. To conclude this fire is causing a lot of damge to the area and the world and it needs to stop.

I read the article Is Google Making Us Stupid by Nicholas Carr and I think that Google is making us stupid and it is making us smarter. It matters because a lot of people us Google so if it is making us stupid then a lot of people will be stupid. It is making some people dumber because they look up an answer or something and don't even read about it they just copy it. It is also making some people smarter if they look up good websites that have good info and if they read it all and think about it can be just as good as a book. I think Google is making me a smarter because I can read all of the info and think about it instead of copying the answers. I think Google will make the world smarter if people read the facts but if they copy it or skim it I think it will make the world dumber. To conclude I think Google is a wonderful invention if used in the right ways.
