Google.com Search: My full name.
As seen before [when I looked myself up, haha] I got a couple results. The first link when I typed in my name was actually about me! It was the Direct Athletics page: The Women’s track and field summary of my meet results. I thought that was awesome, since I did work hard during track seasons in High School. The next link was the people directory to my facebook account. Followed by “About your teacher” website. My moms an elementary teacher and she talked about my sisters and I on her web page [how thoughtful ( : ]. Then the next four links were about an Eastmont invite, Renton invite, and Washington runners. Very exciting.
Intelius.com Search: Last, First, United States
No results.
Search: last, middle, First, Washington
Fabulous. When I typed in every detail you could there were no results on my name. I’m happy with those results since when Professor Fry searched his name it stated what city he lived in, his age, etc. I think it’s important to keep information about you private. That’s why on my facebook account, I don’t give out too much information. Also I make sure no one unless you’re my friend on my account can access or see my profile. There are way too many stalkers/creepy old men that try and look up young girls (or guys). Now I know, there’s no way of looking much information up about me online. Yay ( :

The Future for the Newspaper
Since technology is advancing so quickly, I believe the future for the newspapers popularity will slowly fade away. In seconds you can view the latest news from your laptop, cell phone, radio, the airport, your home computer, on you’re way to work, etc. Why waste your time paying for something when it’s free so many other places? Honestly, I was never a big fan of the newspaper; I think its old fashion, dry, and boring. Like many other people, my mornings are always rushed and I never have time to actually sit down, eat a healthy breakfast and read the newspaper. I think its much more convenient when I’m working on homework and I need a break to check out the latest news online at anytime of the day.
I work at Starbucks and mainly the people who actually pick up and buy the newspaper are elder people. You know why? Because its old fashion, there used to it. They grew up only having the newspaper as an option to gather important information. But in the next ten fifteen years I believe everyone’s going to use the more advance technology to pick up the latest gossip. Especially since Go Green is on the move, newspaper is wasting paper.
On the other hand, small newspaper articles informing us about the High Schools football scores or how troop #65 for Girl Scouts sold the most cookies are important to parents. I think community newspaper articles will stick around because it’s special. Other than that, I think the future for the newspaper isn’t worthwhile and the Internet will become the new, newspaper.

Email vs. Postal Service
E-mail wins this comparison easily. Honestly, I can’t remember the last time I used postal mail besides when my dad sends me money or when I had to pay for my parking pass here at University of Washington Tacoma.
E-mail gives you access virtually anywhere you are. In a matter of seconds you could write an email, send it, and the receiver would get it automatically. It’s so convenient, even cell phones have e-mail access. Best of all its free! Unlike postal mail you don’t need to worry about adding costly extra stamps to the envelope because your document was too long or worrying if the address to your receiver was correct. E-mail allows an endless amount of space for your document and assuming the e-mail address is correct, there’s no way it wont get to your receiver.
On the other hand, postal mail does have some good. I do believe that its more personal and meaningful if you receive a letter hand written by someone you care about rather than getting an e-mail over the internet. Also when you order clothing off your favorite website (Nordstrom.com), that’s always a highlight of my day ( : !
Although I do enjoy receiving a meaningful holiday card through postal mail or getting my new favorite pair of jeans, e-mail is an everyday activity for me and I know I can reach someone much quicker and easier.
