RSS Feed Discussion Questions

1) Why did you select the sites you subscribed to? The sites that I've selected were based on meeting the criteria of the project while picking from my own interests for the third folder. Most of the third folder consisted of computer and technology related topics and companies that I find interest in.

2) Was it easy to find the feeds and subscribe to them? Most of the feeds were easy to find because when I googled for the sites, i added, "RSS," to the search so it brought me directly to the url. Adding them was very easy due to the ease of use provided with digg.

3) Which sites were your favorite? My favorite sites would have to be The Walking Dead feed and the CDC feed because the CDC played a big part in The Walking Dead.

4) What else can you use RSS feeds for? RSS feeds can be used to show people who are not that technologically advanced to keep up with things they are interested in since all the sites they could be interested in are all in one place.

5) How likely are you to use RSS feeds in the future? I will probably not use RSS feeds in the future because I am already accustomed to going to the different websites and see no need to have all of them in one place.

Ghandi Quote 11/18/2013

Seeing the struggles people face ignite my desire to help. I'm very involved with helping the things my church does and one of those things is feeding the homeless. I went to help for the first time, jut because it seemed like a nice thing to do, and I had nothing else to do on a Tuesday night. Upon arriving to the place, I saw the few people lining up to come in and eat. After the night started, seeing all the people come in and how happy the food made them really ignited me to continue to help. I happily served everyone for the rest of the night and now, I go to feed them whenever I can.

In the future I hope to become an architect. This career can not only serve as my dream job, but it can help whichever community I may be living in. Being an architect means I can created buildings that are, "green," or environmentally friendly. This could reduce the pollution of the community and help strengthen it's environmental aspects.

Recent devastation has brought pain and awful circumstances to the Philippines. The death toll and total destruction is unimaginable.  Hearing of the occurrence of these events has caused many different thoughts to run through my head. The biggest thought going through my head has been, what if something equally devastating happened to me? The closest I've come to this was witnessing Hurricane Sandy.  Things can be done to help though. There are many sites and organizations that help the ones in trouble and to help those organizations, the donation of money is the biggest factor. The best thing anyone, or even myself could do would be to donate money to the organizations that help the ones in trouble.The most prominent organization helping out now is The Red Cross. Here is a link to help out.
