1. Introduction
Learning LIteracies - Find it
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/03/business/media/beer-cereal-food-waste.html
This is one of a very interesting article in the Find it selections. This article writes about a company in England producing beer by wasted cereal in a project about waste and environment issues. Concerns about food and environment have become a global issue in that the uncontrollable food wasted each year have a great impact on the environment and especially the unpredicted climate changes. The article also points out the inequality around the world in terms of food consumption. This idea is absolute genius and the world needs more of startups like this.
Online Community Service

Translators without border allows you to be a translator right at your home. The documents that need to be translated include medical documents and emergency subjects. In this volunteer organization, you can have opportunities to learn new languages and also run the organization I choose this website because it could bring opportunities of finding jobs more to people since a lot of people in the US use more than two languages. The job is quite simple too because it only requires people with college level.
2. Privacy and Freedom of Speech
Blogs/Vlogs of Internet
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClQubH2NeMmGLTLgNdLBwXg
ZHC is a channel runs by a drawing artist, his channel has plenty of interesting challenge such as a challenge to finish a drawing in 48 hours straight. I absolutely recommend watching this channel, especially if you're into arts and drawings, you can learn a lot from him. I think that he is very innovative and hard working since he draws 10 hours long every day.
Learning Literacies - Protect it
https://www.aclu.org/other/privacy-america-computers-phones-privacy
The article talks about privacy in America in that the government wants to control our privacy by planning to break in to our private information because of the fear of terrorism. This article should be one of the best one that I've found in this class. The topic is quite understandable since Facebook recently has been investigated because of the suspicion about stealing information from the users.
My question is how are they planning to control all the information including texting and phone call.
3. Intellectual Property
Learning Literacies - Use it
https://www.gapingvoid.com/blog/2019/03/27/why-should-you-be-a-continuous-learner
The very short article but it contains a very simple and important question is that in anything that we do, will we continue to learn that in long terms and forever?

4. Crime
Hacked - now what?

Drawing is better than writing for memory retention. I really love this article a lot. I've been practicing this drawing for memorizing technique for a long time and I really love to see someone proves it to be true.
Computers and Crime
https://www.computerhope.com/jargon/c/compcrim.htm (Links to an external site.)
The website provides a definition of computer crime and a variety of examples that considered computer crime for you. My question would be if anyone know other examples of computer crime that are not mentioned.
5. Employment, Education, and Entertainment
Learning Literacies - Make it

The article provides the two important skills that students should have for their success in the future. Those skills are the ability to master computer science and the US constitution.

6. Midterm - Grand Challenge
Grand Challenge
http://wikieducator.org/User:Duchuynguyen (Links to an external site.)
I did a research on transforming personal health. I've found this team and their idea very interesting. The idea is to create a self-health care system in that you can track your own health anytime. The benefit is to reduce the huge funds that we spend on medical every year.
Challenge Solutions and Technology
https://www.environment.gov.au/climate-change/climate-science-data/climate-science/greenhouse-effect (Links to an external site.)
Human activities such as burning increase the greenhouse gas in the atmosphere which causes global warming. I don't know if there's any technology available to solve this problem such as devices that can evaluate the level of the gas.
7. Evaluating and Controlling Technology
Evaluating and Controlling Technology keywords
https://www.quandora.com/5-benefits-knowledge-sharing-organization/ (Links to an external site.)
The author writes that there 5 benefits of sharing knowledge in an organization. They are increasing problem-solving experiences, better decision making, stimulating innovation, improving delivery, and reducing the loss of know-how. I think that this article is great in providing and encouraging organizations to share knowledge. On the other hand, I think that they are a bit typical, so I would give it a rate of 3/5.
Internet of Things
https://medium.com/datadriveninvestor/10-powerful-iot-examples-worth-your-attention-1c06276a2e54 (Links to an external site.)
The article provides the benefits and applications of internet of things such as autonomous self-healing systems, caterpillar, and predix. I wonder if internet of things would be harmful in the future since the power and the development of it have been increased a lot.
8. Risks, Failures, and Responsibilities
Medicine and Computers
https://www.healthcarefacilitiestoday.com/posts/The-impact-of-medical-computers-on-patients--8931
The advantages of using computers and technology for medicine.
Medical computers are another area of technology that is becoming more commonplace in hospitals. You may already know some of their benefits, such as their ability to store, access and share patient data. Medical computers are specially designed for healthcare settings, making them more convenient for healthcare providers to use.
Interactive information discovery

The New Yorker released a visual map with interactive data representing bike availability. The visualization used live data from people’s bike rides over the course of one month of the program.
9. Anytime, Anywhere
Smartphones
This app helps people to find a place to stay during their trips. The app has helpful search filters and in-app messaging for contacting hoss,s, and takes a lot of the stress out of finding a place to stay. It also helps people to make money from hosting their house.
Politics and the web
The website provides everything you want to know about the politics of the US. It gives us some very interesting fact such as tracking the politicians' promises. One thing that I think this website needs to improve is the number of politicians that the website has is a bit little. I would give this website a rate of 3/5.
