Hello Class,

Looking for an article for the assignment has not been the easiest for me. I made a large list of articles that I just glanced at and have been reading through them one by one. I have found few that actually caught my attention. I think I will find something soon but one of the difficulties I was having was finding good tech sources because I read articles from the internet that can be from not so scholarly sources so I have to get used to looking for more reliable sources.

Sincerely,

Jose

I had been looking for good sources regarding Bitcoins. I got hooked to this topic because the freedom and benefits Bitcoins offers to business seems like a very interesting point. I had been using the school library database to search for peer-to-peer reviews.

The many ways of researching for an article.

To write a good article we definitely need good and most importantly reliable sources.

Such sources can be scholarly ones, or reputable news sources, like Reuters, New York Times, The Gardian etc. Unfortunately, I haven’t started looking for an article yet, but when I start, these are the sources I will be looking at.

I have been did some work about researching the articles of “AI” field from NY times or other scientific magazines. But it was really difficult to choose a good topic for my presentation. However, I really gathered some materials. And I will finish all the preparation work soon.

For  my  summary  topic  I  chose  to  explore  different  sites  such  as  CNN,  TheGuardian,  and  TechCrunch.  I  was  having  trouble  looking  for  an  article  that  wasn’t  simple  but  not  complex  either.    I  came  across  various  articles  that  were  about  technology  with  a  sprinkle  of  politics.

So far in my article research for the presentation, i been searching on google for articles that have to do with how technology is changing our everyday life and economy. Something around the lines of an article that is similar to the article that we had to read for today’s class. So far i haven’t found anything exciting, but soon i should be able to find one.

While I was totally prepared to write about yesterday’s article about AI’s threat to the middle class–I have also been looking for an article for next week’s assignment. I’ve been looking on Mashable.com, and TechCrunch.com which are two of the places I like to read about technology, and I’ve also noticed that Wired.com has good articles. But it’s not easy finding lengthy articles, that are wonderfully  interesting to talk about.

I have not made much research for the presentation, but the other I was in one my classes yesterday and we went over an article about virtualization that really caught my attention. Therefore, I asked the professor if he could suggest me some articles about the topic. Also i been researching on google and the School’s library Database.

Looking for my article i have searched technology sections of certain websites however many of them ranged from too short or just videos. One of my criteria is to not search for things we discussed in class to bring a new topic to discuss. I also tried searching for topics related to what i have read before.

I have been reading up on a few different topics that are topics of discussion that I may present. I have been reading up on Virtual Reality technologies and how they are being used, installation and overall adoption of virtual reality units in the market. I think I would like to break away from that and maybe focus on how Virtual Reality can be used in rehabilitation environments and if this allows individuals that did not have or lost  the motor skills to enjoy video games to get back into it using VR headsets and body motion instead of fine controller hand movements.
