Break Out Box

The directional lock was the most diffuclt for our group because we did it wrong the whole time and did not understand exactly what to do. Me, Emily, and Alex worked as a team to get a few puzzles done. Our collaboration of ideas helped our group a lot. People in our group each contributed differently in a positive way, Each people had different strengths and we utilized them to our advantage. Overall, my group was very successful and we had alot of fun.

Soccer

One thing i love is playing soccer. Soccer is my favorite sport. I have been playing it since i was 6. I play on a competative team right now. The position i play is center mid-field. I plan on playing it in high school. Soccer is a sport played with your feet and it is very simple and fun. A few famous soccer players include Neymar, Ronaldo, and Messi. Here are a few images and links that you might be interested in!

Filter Bubbles

                        https://www.ted.com/talks/eli_pariser_beware_online_filter_bubbles



              Have you ever struggled to find information you needed when looking in Google? This could be because of filter bubbles. Filter bubbles occur when a web company, like Google or Netflix, provide you with personalized information based on what you like or its relevancy to you. This could be good because of the individuality and the local or more relevant information may appeal to you more. This is bad because you may not find or struggle to find information you need at the moment. I have experiences with filter bubbles on Netflix. I watch a movie or a TV series and it recommends other things similar to the show or movie I watched. The recommendations are not what I want, I would much rather get things that will be appealing or not get things at all.

2016 Tech Review

Bad Idea: Apple Airpods area bad idea because they are easy to lose and they are completely unnecessary.

 Bad idea: SCiO Food Scanner is a bad idea because is a food scanner is a Bluetooth scanner that scans the chemical makeup of your food. This could help people eat healthier but could open their eyes to what is in their food

Good idea:Polarized Zip Instant Printer is convenient and printers are used frequently and this makes it so much easier to print things.

Good idea:Google’s Photoscan app is useful and easy to use, I have used it before on many occasions.
