The instructional manual is the first paper that i’m actually having fun with, my manual is about how to deadlift. I chose this specific workout because it took me months to actually figure out how to execute the movement correctly. And making an instructional manual on how to deadlift, is not just an assignment to me. Because it is a way to actually share my knowledge with others.

I find myself being more engaged in the assignments and reading. I really enjoy being able to pick the type of topics to write about. Since it allows me to learn more about my major which is computer system information. But my main focus is the security aspect, i find that the expanded definition will help me understand more about why security is important. Aside from that i am enjoying the class but i am nervous about my presentation today.

The Shallows by Nicholas Carr, was a very interesting. Chapter two really caught my attention, it describes how maps advanced and the evolution of how maps makes us think. Instead of looking at just a picture, our thoughts are more abstracted. Also how the mechanical clock changed the way we saw ourselves. An interesting argument in chapter two was how intellectual technologies was viewed. For example one side was against how technology is changing the way we think and the other side was how technology makes us better thinkers.
