In the article Ringo Starr: No more fan mail, there are many things that matter to Ringo such as his own privacy, relaxation, and no more fan mail. Privacy is important to him because Ringo is tired of people annoying him and he just wants to live his life, but because he is a Beatle it is probably hard to relax. Relaxation matters to him because he wants to relax and take a break from answering fans. Ringo doesn't want any more fan mail and he announced it to everyone, that he doesn't want anymore fan mail because he is tired of it. What can you expect he was the drummer for the band that started many genres of music and one of the most famous bands not just in america, but all over the world.

In David Warlick’s, “Chris’s Quotes” what matters to him is intervention. He thinks that in
the 20th century learning environment, teachers still are trying to teach us the way they did
before. The teachers will try everything they can to teach the students, but it just won’t work. I love the way that computers are being used in the school. They give students more access to a more understandable amount of information and gives us more knowledge then being taught the old way. I think that Chris is proving a very important point and I believe many other people would agree with him including me. This is what I think and what matters.

After reading the article, "A Customer Oriented Airport" by David Warlick, What matters is having all costumers comfortable and at home. This is important because without keeping the costumers happy they would never get any buisness. The Air port put in Cafe's, places to sleep and rest if a flight is delayed. So I think this Airport isn’t that bad. Saftey of the costumers is very important because if someone gets hurt they could sue. Without the people feeling safe and at home they wouldn't get any more service there. This is what I think matters.

In the Nata Village blog, What matters to the Nata Village is shelter, saftey, and having a plan for any natural disaster to occur.This matters to the people of Nata village most because this is a way for them to know they can be safe in a natural disaster because they will be prepared for it. This can help people make sure they are always confident and safe from natural disasters. But, if they do get their plans for disasters they will have the insurance of being ready. This is what I think matters to the people of Nata Village.

machines are using us Kalvinp.

In the video, Machines are Using Us, by Michael Wesch, its talked about how electronics are taking over our lives and controlling what we do. Not only in the present but the future and the past. The video shows us how electronics have advanced. It's getting hard to tell what is controlling what. Are we usig the machine or is it using us? Every time we use a computer we are teaching it more and more. In the video it shows us how many things we can do in one simple click of the mouse or a simple push of a button. It's amazing of what we did with technology and it's also scary at the same time.

Did you Know? Kalvinp

Did you Know

I thought “Did you know” by Karl Fisch was very interesting because it talked about facts
Of the world, for example he said that china will soon become the number one English speaking
Country In the world. He had facts and other facts to back them up and you can clearly tell
That he worked hard, took his time, and did his research. Fisch found out that there were over
2.7 billion Searches performed on Google each month! He also found out that if MySpace was a
country it would be the 11th largest country in the world between Japan and Mexico! All
Together his video is a good six minutes and seven seconds long filled with very interesting
facts. I thought “Did you Know” by Karl Fisch was very interesting.
