1017 Homework burr

1. Briefly describe what each segment was about.
2. What do these three segments have to do with one another? What is the common theme?
3. What are your reactions to these stories? 
4. What do these stories have to do with you? How do they affect you as an undergraduate researcher? (In other words, why on earth did I want you to listen to these stories?!)

The three segments were all about how technology has changed over the last couple of years. The segments were about academic journals and the internet. The videos talk about how the internet has made information more widely available that might not have been available a couple of years ago. Also from the videos I thought is was interesting how if someone has enough power or money they can choose what we here or what information becomes available first. The article Trouble For Elsevier is about people boycotting a major article publisher because they felt that the were making way to much money of colleges work. Now they have started their own online database. The New England Journal is an interesting journal that has been around a long time. The segment talks about how things have changed so much over the 200 years it has been around. The Changing Nature is about how the internet is changing nature to reflect a new medium. It also talks about how peoples way of thinking and the way we connect is changing. I think these articles are great. I enjoy change and technology. I think the technology helps use to be better informed. I enjoyed the New England Journal the most. I think that it is awesome that they have been around so long. I thank that the article Trouble For Elsevier is awesome, I like when people stand up against something that is bigger than them that they feel is wrong. These stories affect me because this is the time I live in and technology is becoming more and more advanced everyday.
