Blog #6

My first source is called Technological Visions. The book basically explains the hopes and fears that shape new technologies. I choose this source because it looked intresting when i read it in the Technology Matters and when i looked up the source it was intresting. I believe this book was perfect for Nye's book. Because it talks about the good and the bad about new technology and thats what the controlling purpose of his book is anyways. I dont think it would complicate his book since it is pretty simple when talking about new technology. My second source i could not get it at the moment because i have it on recall so i can come back and add my second source when i receive it.

The focus on the essay to me was to introduce technology in a good way and the negative way. I choose to construct my essay in the way that i give a fair response in a good way and the bad way about technology. I didnt take my time when i wrote the essay. I do like the ideas where i am going with it but i do have to expand it and by expanding it i am getting more ideas about the same things but in a more depth way. I didnt do the peer editing online but i like the face to face editing where i can see the person if they really want to help me or are they just writing on my blog because they have too.

" Told him Papa was dying in pain. Cancer of what. Cancer of everything"(185)I choose this quote because it is different i believe from anyone elses quote. When I read this first i wanted to know why he said cancer of everything. What does that mean. Is he not loved so he has cancer of love, or things like that in that nature. I found couple of other quotes but this one is so different that you can intrepert it in many ways. I for example had cancer of english when i first came here. I thought i was never going to learn it because i needed to learn it quick and fast. I know it might not make sense to some people but having cancer of everything doesnt just mean medical as Vonnegut explains. I wonder how Vonnegut thought about it when he said cancer of everything.
