Research Personal Sites

 Home/Landing Page: I really liked the look of a slightly dramatic, black and white picture as the first thing when you open the page. I think it adds an eye-catching factor without being too over-bearing. I would prefer to have some sort of slogan or motto on the black and white image as well. Other than that I dont think i want anything else on the home page that is too distracting. Ill probably just have the links to the other sections of the website. I think i will have a small bio about myself and a link to my resume.

About Me/Bio Info: I want this to be as straightforward and professional as possible. I think if i have a full page on this i'm going to break down my bio into a couple different portions that talk about growing up, jobs i have worked, hobbies and similar fields that go a bit more indepth.

Resume: Resume.docx, I would like this to transition from the about me to my resume. One of the websites had a fantastic transition from their bio to their resume and I would like to show a smoothness in transition. I will probably make another page that displays my full resume so users dont have to pull download anything if they dont want to.

Portfolio (various work by student: writing, design, art, photography, research, experience, etc.): I think for this portion I sort of want to have maybe a picture or two, maybe a paper I'm really proud of, but then add. to it. I know over my working career I'll have more designs I have to make and I think that if im actively adding stuff to my online profile rather than something I was just trying to make an A on this page will look much cleaner. I also want a small bio for each image as I know there probably won't be a ton of images to put in my portfolio.

The 25-year Bet About Technology Reflection

     Kevin Kelly is a well-known writer and founding executive editing editor for Wired magazine. He is also a former editor/publisher for the Whole Earth Review. One key thing he preaches everywhere he can is how he tries to remain positive or optimistic despite the news and media. In his article "The Case for Optimism, " he says there are two main reasons why you should remain optimistic: "One is the general case for optimism at any time. The second reason is a handful of forces at work in the world that make specific cases for optimism at this particular time, in 2021." He is a man that is constantly looking forward to the future and what it holds.      Unlike fellow writer Mr. Kelly, Kirkpatrick Sale was a massive anti-technology author who wrote books promoting the luddism way of thinking. He despises the idea that technology has become such a significant part of our society, leading to the butting of heads between these writers.      The main disagreement betw

Reflecting on the way we read.

    Imagineanentire20 chapterbookthatiswordedlikethis,nospacesorinterruptionsbetweenwords . Infuriating right? Well , as Mr. Kevin Kelly points out in his article " Reading in a Whole New Way ," he states that until the 10th century, books and sentences, in general, were being written like that. Now that may seem like a long time; however, that was only about 1000 years ago, give or take, and if books were read like that now? I promise you I wouldn't dare pick up a book. Mr. Kelly's article talks about how drastically we read today and how it may not be such a bad thing. While reading on screens leads to action more than ordinarily persuasive books, sometimes action isn't bad. The article also does an excellent job of laying out the advantages both media provide while arguing that reading on screens isn't as bad as it is usually portrayed. Mr. Kelly also provides some rather interesting statistics to show that reading on the screen is much more productive, sta
