Thesis: Due to increased levels of CO2, it is believed by many scientists civilization could come to an end sooner than expected.

     In the last 10,000 years our climate has raised 1.5 degrees above average. That may not seem like a lot, but it has been enough to start melting away the arctic. David Ray Griffin quotes Lonnie Thompson, who received the U.S. National Medal of Science in 2010, said that virtually all climatologists "are now convinced that global warming poses a clear and present danger to civilization."

     This has lead to an idea that if our climate can stay below a raise of 3.6 degrees, then civilization just might make it. Other scientists are lead to believe that if this 1.5 degree climate raise has started melting away the arctic, what will happen once temperatures get 3.6 degrees above average? They aren't yet sure because there is no evidence humanity could survive temperatures that high.

     The leading cause for this possible disaster is all of the burning of coal, oil and other gasses. So, how do we keep our climate from exceeding inhabitable temperatures? It would take the world to start replacing dirty energy with clean energy ASAP.

Article read: How Obama's Hacking Laws Could Make You A Criminal

Summary: The whole time reading this article I was thinking, "What good would this law do for the country?". So what if I choose to share my password to my accounts with my family or boyfriend? that would be my choice and its doing no harm. If the government were to try and fine everyone who has shared access to accounts it would be a major waste of time and money. This law, if it is even actually happening, is very vague and poorly thought out. Plus, if the government is trying to use this "law" to try and stop cyber terrorists and hackers, then I'm sure they already know of ways to not get caught.

Thesis: Is the internet eliminating the use of books because our methods of reading have changed, or because the way we think has changed?

Summary: We all read the same way we have been taught, with our eyes processing the words we see. Unless you were to go blind, that won't change. As the internet continues to evolve, it influences the population more and more and how they go about doing things. Many believe that we can learn things quicker and more efficiently by looking something up online rather than in a book.While that is true for certain subjects, people are still oblivious to the fact that not all things on the internet are true. Some of us don't even have the attention span to read a book anymore and just give up to search the web.There are still people doing their research by gathering information from Wikipedia and other unreliable sites with no reliable facts on what they are writing about. Back in the day the concern was that having such easy access to books would cause a lot more laziness and weaken our minds; isn't it funny how times have changes? Now something else has come along that we question in the same way that books used to be questioned.
