Online Reading Overview and Topic

Lauren S. and I read the article about "Literacy." It was very boring and was hard to read mainly because the author wrote it as an opinion paper with some facts. There was way to much "I believe", "In my opinion" ,and "My experience." I really was not interested in what this guy thinks. I did however agree with some of the points he brought up. In today's society you kind of have to have some knowledge about technology. Every where we go and almost everything we do involves technology in some way. Our cars, cell phones, self-checkouts at stores, ATMs, credit cards, gas pumps, computers, calculators the list goes on and on. I think the article posses a great point, but it is possible to get the point across in a much shorter and more attention grabbing way. He talks about all this new technology why not use some to prove his point??

On a more interesting note I think for my web thingy I am going to do something with bowling. Probably explain the sport a little bit and talk about how it is growing. I can add the links for all the surrounding bowling alleys and pro-shops. I have been bowling since I was 4 so I know a lot about, I am good at it, and it is something that interests me.
