Blogs?

-

I really don't know what to write about for this week's blog. I'm currently out of ideas. 

But I figured I could perhaps blog about blogs?

Try to say "blog about blogs" three times fast. XD

    According to Themeisle, a site on the history on tech-y things, says, "Most experts agree that the first blog was Links.net, created in 1994 by then-student Justin Hall as a place to publish his writing." 

Blogging is actually newer than I expected. I expected blogging to be older than Jesus himself. I was expecting to find evidence of blogging egyptian hieroglyphics.

    But what is blogging? According to google, blogging is "writing about (an event, situation, topic, etc.) in a blog."

    If writing about something could be considered a blog, setting aside the online part. Could the hieroglyphics I mentioned earlier, or caveman paintings also be considered blogs? If so I feel like the bible could also be considered a really big blog.

    Setting those aside, blogging in it's entirety is the telling of one's day to day life in short paragraphs without having to be as thorough.

Now I'll be signing off as I've been at this computer for the past 3 hours and I am tired.

Also side note, I can't believe we only have 3 weeks of classes left? When we started the first week it felt like it would feel longer than I expected it to. Luckiliy I'm doing well in both classes I am taking and things are going okay.

Signing off,

Fatima :)

Facial Recognition ?

-
     In this blog post, I'll be writing a summary on facial recogintion as I'm writing my second formal writing paper on it. I haven't started it as I'm typing, but I thought it would be good to kill two birds with one stone and write a blog post about it? Perhaps I'm being lazy. :')      The general arguement made by Chistopher Koopman in his article, "Should we fear facial recognition?" is that facial recognition is to be feared. More specifically, Koopman argues that facial recognition is a violation of our right to privacy. He writes, "In July, a report from the Washington Post detailed how the FBI and ICE conduct facial searches on driver's license databases, scanning photos of millions without their consent." In this passage, Koopman explains how facial recognition can be used on us without our permission. Overall, Koopman's belief is that facial recognition could hurt us more in the long run than we expect.

Bigfoot Summary

-
     So in my freshman English class I was practicing writing summaries for an upcoming essay we have due in less than four days that I haven't really known how to start.      I wrote this summary on an article on Bigfoot called, "Why Wikipedia Is So Tough on Bigfoot," and I'm not really sure how I did as I'm still learning how to write proper summaries. I haven't written a proper summary as of Spring of 2022. So it's been definitely been a while and I'm a little rusty. Here is it for you all to read and critize, for the better of course. I'm open to all constructive critisism! Stephen Harrison in his article, “Why Wikipedia is So Tough on Bigfoot,” argues that both Wikipedia and the two sides of Wikipedia's Never-Ending-Cryptozoological War should come to terms that they both can agree on to keep everyone at peace. More specifically, that Wikipedia should label cryptozoology as pseudoscience, in order for non-believers to make an acknowledge...

Do Universities pay professors less in cheaper schools?

-
    This week  in class when my classmates and I were revising a couple of sample paragraphs. We revised a paragraph talking about if a university had to pay more for buildings, if tuition would also therefore be more expensive. But my first thought was, would professors also be paid more? I did a quick google search to find if my assumption was correct.  This is what I found. Professors paychecks don't only come from tuition. Acording to, CollegeRaptor.com   in an aritcle called, "How Much Do Professors Make: A Quick Guide," they said, A professor’s salary can be increased by money earned through grants, published articles or books, summer teaching, sabbaticals to work with private or public organizations, overtime, and incentive payments. There also are annual raises which can impact pay especially for tenured professors. (explained below) If you're an adjuct professor, or a part-time faculty member who is hired on a contractual basis.  They get...
