for this influential conference. Now imagine that one of the colleagues entering the room and not saying a word; having no portfolio in their hands of topics to discuss. Throughout the entire conference, they say nothing and are on their phone or computer the whole time. Also, when they are asked a direct question they have no response and avoid eye contact, along with stuttering and questioning any words that they actually do say.

Devices like smartphones, tablets, and computers are the most common machinery that people use. Unfortunately, not all content in the Internet, which…
Ancestral Brothers Astronomy, being an actual natural science, and not just predictions and magic, is a much more useful practice than its ancestral brother, astrology. Though, long ago, astronomy and astrology were once thought to be the one and the same, in the modern era, these two "sciences" are different in both the way they are practiced, and the tools with which you practice them. Astronomy, considered to be the more "real", respected science out of the two, has been around for a long…
One of the differences between the two texts was in audiences.

The author assumed the readers would have a basic knowledge, so they would be acknowledged through this article about "CS". While in Thurk et al.'s text (2016) their targeted was certain audiences, who have a strong academic background. Another deference was in the in the…

One of the key tenets of transcendentalism states that, in so many words, technology is wrong and the advancement of such devices only serve to create problems.

From inventions to make farming more efficient to creating a phone that does everything with a tap from your finger, technology has transformed the way the world works for the better. Technology, despite its negative consequences, has led to many important…
