MLK

I believe that MLK was writing to the general public. Even though he had an implicit audience of those who have power and an influence over people for a "better good", he was writing for a variety of audiences. He was writing to these in little power too, so that they would do something...anything. Sitting back and not doing anything is worse than doing something and being denied access or rights.  Being denied leaves room for improvement and the clergy were bound to listen to this letter and its proclaimed  determined statements.

Final Thoughts

My opinion about technology has not changed. Recent technology has made our lives easier as to quicker accession of information. Computers and applications on phones have created apps that allow you to order food, get directions, reviews, etc at the touch of a finger. You must be carful of what you read on websites and must make sure to check sources to make sure that they are credible. I am very interested as to what the new years will bring in accordance to new technology.

Want to get out there

Information on the internet is not always correct..wikipedia. People use wikipedia and believe that the information is correct when anyone can edit information on each page. Granted, some of the information is correct, but a majority of the information posted on the website is not up to date or inaccurate.

This is a clip from the office tv series. Michael is describing his love for wikipedia and explains why it is so awesome.. This is definitely sarcasm as wikipedia is an unreliable source.

Internet

I think these internet sites like google, wikipedia, etc, are making students lazier and less likely to read a book. Rather, students go on spark notes and e-books to get summaries of books instead of actually reading the book and getting their own understanding. I think it is important to read and write to express your own opinion instead of reading someone else's opinion and basing your thesis or ideas off of theirs. These sites have put in depth summaries of articles and books online that make students and other people feel it is unnecessary to even buy the book anymore.

journalism vs blogging

I believe that journalism and blogging are very much alike both exercising the importance of free speech. There really are no limits to either one of the writing techniques. Both express different views such as personal, political, or scientific. Neither writing techniques restrict the author to one topic or idea which allows the author to write as much as they want but, with that freedom obviously comes criticism. Not everyone who reads the authors article is going to enjoy their stand or opinion on a certain topic so the author must be open to criticism. Like they always say, "If you can dish it, you can take it".
