Prezi seems kind of cool to use. Personally i am a hands on visual learner and prezi is filled with visual aid that compliments people like me. So a big pro is how prezi uses visuals to help get ideas and messages across. Cons it can be confusing at times because at first you essentially do not know what the website is about and what is going on. Also wix looks pretty easy and hands on. Not to much confusion when starting your website. You go to their site and everything is right there for you get and started if you want your site up and running.If you wanted to look for yourself here is the prezi site http://prezi.com/
For the final project i think i am going to do a digital poster really to show the sign of the times, and really use my knowledge and skills i have obtained in the class. I am still coming up with a cool way to present my project. I just know anything that i do will be different.

misrepresenting someones aremuemnt to make it easier to attack someone is called the strawman approach. It is not very ethical when handling a argument or situation. It means you a really dumbing down a person or a situation. Also black or white where two alternatives states are presented as the only possibilities exist. really a means of undermining someone
I used twitter, facebook, newsvine, and instagram. On facebook and twittter i found more opinions rather than real valid information. my topic is real opinion based so it hard to find precise real in depth information. But i was able to find a lot of pretty cool things. For example i would have never known that the word hope dates back all the way to ancient Greek mythology. I must say newsvine is pretty cool, it is like a new twist on the news that make things interactive with its user. Personally i use social networks for many of things, to network, connect with my friends old and new, to be nosy to see what other people are talking. Because in one fashion or another we are all uniformly nosy to want to continuously read what others are talking about.  Right the social media that has majority of my attention is Instagram. That social sight is very addicting, it is basically like twitter but with pictures.

Apple is under fire from dissident shareholders for hoarding cash. Why sitting on money isn't a smart strategy |

Basically this article is about apple sitting on excess cash. Large cash reduces shareholder value because they create reduced returns on capital. Which means good for the company, but not good for the shareholders. The author is stating his opinion in the mater  of he doesn't think it is a wise decision for Apple to sit on cash like that, because essentially at the end its more work, stress, and hassle the company has to deal with. The author doesn't really emotionalize the topic, but he does do a good job of showing the cause and effect of the topic at hand. This article is really information based, and lets you know mischievous mishaps by the company.

My topic is very different, in a sense that the topic that has many different meanings to many people. One may look at hope through a religious point of view, or one can look at hope through a personal level that dear to them. Psychology could have a hand in my topic because when you examine the word hope you can look how the word and term effects one's Pschy. When you hear hope, expectancy comes to mind, when you expect things out of a situation or someone you have hope in them or that the task will be fulfilled. This now turns the term in a social debate as whereas what is hope? and what is one's own definition of hope. The word is so broad that anyone or any group could have a op pinon, and automatic association with the word. The word is Omniscient, its all around us , its up to the individual to where they fit the word into their life.

alot of things you can do, help formulate what your looking for. things that i looked at to help me search for my topic is who and what. the reason beings you want to know exactly who, or basically what it is your looking up. Other thngs i try to examine was my topic broad enough for me to research, and will i be able to garner up enough information on my topic. i feel as if the topic i have is very different and abstract enough to require a deeper analysis. i try to find the essence and the background of what i am looking up.it was great how we learned a new researching database Credo reference, so there will be no excuses on the lack of references. Class that we had helped narrow my topic because it made me realize other elements in researching i was ignorant to.

Picking two topics is very broad in a sense that you have a wild spectrum to pick on. First thing that comes to mind is what interests me. I love sports i am big sports fan so I would like to do research on a sports player. Not someone real notable, but someone who has a story or a message to convey. The second topic I would pick would be something dealing with money. In what' particular I don't know , but money is something that interests me. Lastly if there was a third option it would be a music.I have a deep love and appreciation for the art.   So they may be my second topic depends how things play out
