star Trek or Star Wars????

How will you decide which to watch?  Star Trek or Star Wars?  A question that many have asked themselves.  First off let me say that the Star Trek movies came around as a result of Star Wars.  After star wars cam out the creators of star trek said hey we have something like that.  However they really never planned on the Star Trek movies to become so big.  In a interview Leonard Nimoy who played Spock said “After every movie was done the tore down the sets or sold them because they didn’t know if another movie would happen.  Then they had to build the exact set again for the next one.” 

Now when you think about it Star Trek fans are called Trekkies.  First off what is a Trekkie and how is it different from a Star Wars fan?  According to http://www.squidoo.com/startrek-vs-starwars  Trekkies are often fans of using great restraint when possible and overwhelming in nature. Most of the aliens they meet look vaguely like humans who had a bad experience with a wax factory, and fans of Star Wars are gluttons for sci-fi punishment. They either love being the all-powerful evil being or the scrappy underdog. Trekkies are rarely underdogs. Star Wars aliens seem to have either scales or fur and are also roughly humanoid in nature.

The choice is up to you.  http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2009/08/great-geek-debates-star-trek-vs-star-wars/  has a good article that tells about both when breaking it down. As for me I choose both.

George Boole

George Boole was born on November 2, 1815 in Lincolnshire, England.  He died on December 8, 1964 in County Cork, Ireland because a high fever.  George Boole is well known for the being the inventor of Boolean Algebra.  Boole’s acquaintance with general literature was wide and deep.  His favorite poet was Dante.  He preferred the Paradiso to the Inferno. Aristotle, Spinoza, and others were also centered as his favorites.  He was marked a true genius, and his life was given to the single-minded pursuit of truth. He received an honorary degree of LL.D. from the University of Dublin. 
He is important to research because of his contributions to mathematics.

The Decision

We all remember when LeBron James went on ESPN and announced one of if the biggest decision in sports over the last ten years.  He was scrutinized over his “decision” for weeks after to go to Miami and join Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh to form the so called “Big Three.”  When I watched the show over the summer I asked.  Why in the world he would announce something like this so publicly?  What kind of affects would it have in Cleveland?  How will he be treated when he goes back to Cleveland?

Little did James know that once everyone in Cleveland listened what he said it would be his downfall as “The King.”  Following the show Dan Gilbert, owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers wrote a letter to the fans and stated that "I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER 'KING' WINS ONE"

The following is the letter to the Cavaliers from owner Dan Gilbert and part of the decision.   http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/lebron-james-cavs-owner-dan-gilbert-writes-letter/story?id=11123866    

                                           

Censorship

Topic 3

Question- What are the different kinds of censorship and how are they being regulated in today’s society and how does this change the outcome of the future for children and adults? 

Search Terms- Censorship regulations, future regulations.

Source-Internet and books about the FCC.    http://www.efa.org.au/Issues/Censor/cens3.html

 

I created this question because there are times that we all wonder what is right and what is wrong on television programs and on the internet.  This question can help us have a better understanding on how they decide what to censor and why.

What is Information??????

What exactly is information???? Everyone has their own interpretation of information but most describe it as something that passes between two people.  In fact to me information is a natural concept to the facts of life.  Every day there is some sort of information that is passed between on another.  In school we learn and study the information that is given to us by our professors to help broaden our aspects of things in the world we know today.  According to Edward M. Houseman information is many things.  It is a combination of what is said between two people, it occupies space, it cannot move without noise, occupies space, and many other aspects he describes.  He goes to say that there are two types of information, the physical and biological.  Different organizations have their own definition of information.  The business definition of information can be found at the following link.  http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/information.html            

Even though there are many different definitions of information I believe that everyone is entitled to their own personal feeling on it and how it is used over time. 

Entertainment!!1

When buying music and movies you tend to wonder different things.  Should I buy a CD or buy from ITunes?  DVD or Blu-Ray?  Netflix or Hulu?  Many people have wondered this in the past and it is no different today. 

I have asked these questions to some of my friends and found out that for them it’s all about quality.  Now for Netflix and Hulu are both for streaming TV shows and movies.  The main difference between the two is the fact that Hulu has shows that are up to date with today’s TV instead of having to wait for it to come out on DVD and then wait an extra month for it to be placed on live stream.  Here are the links for both Netflix and Hulu.  http://www.hulu.com/released?h=23      http://www.hulu.com/released?h=23     The best part of Hulu and Netflix is that they both offer a free trial period.  Netflix is a free month and Hulu plus is a week. 

As for DVD or Blu-Ray it is a preference.  Blu-Ray sounds and looks better then DVD but then Blu-Ray is fully hi-def 1080p.  Blu-Ray requires a special disc player and if you want the full hi-def feeling a HDTV.

Now to everyone’s music choice!  We all know about iTunes and the main difference between purchasing your music from their or in CD form from places like Wal-Mart, FYE, Sam Goodies, and other music stores.  For this it is also a preference on which you like.  If you like spending $9.99 on an album from iTunes, or a few dollars more and buy from a store.

For all of these media choices it is your own opinion on which to use and purchase from.
