"Quiet gender gap hits collegiate balance" The post editorials: Author unknown. In these articles the people being interviewed talked about how girls were taking over the college campus's. It also talked about how the dating scenes were diminishing and that the girls were dominating in the class room and the boys weren't as much. They only interviewed 3 or 4 colleges about this gender difference so its probably not that big yet. It's just happening at a few colleges around the United States. We should still think about this and its affect that it might have on society, good or bad we should think about it.

Did You Know/ PLN 1

After watching Mr. Fisch's video I have learned what matters is about students,world and education is that we should slow down our technological evolution because in the 2049 computers that cost $1,000 will be able to surpass the human brain and the human race. That 1 MySpace page, on average, is visited 30+ times a day. And if MySpace were a country, it would be the 5th largest in the world. And during that video 67 babies will be born in the US, 136
will be born in China and 396 babies will be born in India. It also talks about how in 2049 a average computer will cost $1000 and will be smarter then the human race. This information is mind blowing and we should all think about how fast we are integrating, moving, updating and every thing in between.
