"Who's the better translator?" Humans or Computers

          This article is about how in different countires how they arent able to use facebook and google.  So thats why they have hired translators to do it for all the diffrerent languages.  They even made a pirate language, so if it would say "share," in pirate it would be "blabber to yer mates."  Also if you lived in China, you should be able to use american sites also, but they cant read it.  Again thats why they got translators.  It is very cool.
           I think these are both very good how they are doing this.  Because facebook and google is for everyone all around the world.  But there are somethings they just can't read because they are in English. I am very glad they are doing this, so people all over can experience what we are with these fun web sites.  Also, I think it is very cool how they are doing languages like how a pirate would speak, even how they are doing it in our slang.  Its very clever how they thought of doing it in those languages.

"Sleep Deprived"

          This article is about Teenagers who stay up all night texting, or on the computer.  Technology is keeping teenagers from going to bed.  Some teens will sleep with their phone right by their head.  Others will turn it off because they want their sleep.  Kids pull texting all-nighters, it is just crazy!  It also says how parents need to put a technology curfew.  Also, how it only used to be about 700 texts a month it is now almost 3,000 a month and they should limit to how much they are sending, even if they have unlimited!
          I think that what they are saying is true.  Teenagers should have a technology curfew!  I only text people when i need to ask them something, or need to get something,  then i turn it off.  I get all the sleep i need and it is wonderful.  Also my parents shut my texting off by 10:30 so that also helps.  I think it is just getting too crazy with us teenagers spending so much time with technology!

"Selling your friends on facebook article"

           The article about facebook was about how people put their businesses on and get millions of fans. It is also just how that is how people advertise their businesses today.  One of the video's from the Fifa world cup this year got put on by Nike, and in one weekend it went from 1.6 million fans to 3.1 million fans.  So other businesses saw that and started to put their businesses on and just with that click of the like button, it can just begin to make your business popular.
            I thought it was so crazy because how fast things can become so popular.  I also think it is a great way to advertise your business because of how many people have a facebook.  Things spread so fast because one of your friends will like something, then the rest of your friends see that so they like it too.  So that makes your business popular all over the world!  So I think it is a very good idea to put your business on facebook to advertise.

What I thought about the Article

   I thought those people were crazy for spending all their times just writing a post for their blog.  They've probably wasted a lot of their life doing that.  It is just a competition to some of them and others do it so people can enjoy reading it.  People who think it is just a competetion are wrong, because it is not.  Writing blogs is for fun and for other people to enjoy it!

New York Times Article

        This article was about blog writers and how much time they spend on writing their blogs.  It is like a competetion to them!  They just want to have to best blog and the most readers.  Most bloggers get paid by each post or popular it gets.  Some bloggers have died, they might think its from blogging so much but it might not be.  They hardley ever get sleep and when they do it is amazing for them!
