Digital Revolution (Computers)

1. Why haven’t computers overtaken humans? 

How big is the world of computers?

1. Computers are a great tool, we use them in almost every single aspect of our lives. There is so much that we don’t know about them. When I think of computers I see them as a new world, we can do almost everything in the digital world. There are so many restrictions and people that really understand how computers work at the expert level they can pay around and literally do what they want in the digital world.
2. I want to know how computers really work. I want to have the freedom to navigate the internet and do what I want in a good way of course.I want to have the power to create my own digital world. Coding will be my third language.
3. .
4. We started in the 90s with huge computers. Now we have devices that fit in our hands and can work much better and faster then back in the 90s. We communicate much more around the world, the information travels in seconds. The capacity of computers is increasing exponentially until the point they surpass humans in knowledge and distress.

1. What is the name of the Twitter account? Do you know anything about this source already? (Although it’s okay to start with something like the Twitter profile, you also need to go outside the post!) 

The name is Lois Beckett . I tried to read the poster, I couldn’t. I just know that they are protesting in silence using posters outside of the middle school.

1. What can you learn about the person behind the Twitter account? (You will probably need to leave Twitter to do this!)

I could not find a lot of information on twitter. She is a reporter on social media, her main focus are gun violence and  gun policy.

1. What sources did you use to learn about the person behind the Twitter account? How do you know that these are good sources?

I use her twitter account and a website known as propublica that has a short summary of her.  The website has a good structure and it’s domain is .org

1. Based on your lateral reading, do you think this account is a trustworthy source of information about the school walkouts? Explain.

Yes, I think it is because the data proves such as pictures.
