Wii IS FOR MEE

The Wii system has created hype throughout all age groups. I have to agree that this is console is more then a hype. The Wii is a gaming system which all game system’s wish they could do; be more then a game. I don’t think you could comment on this question without playing the Wii. Before the Wii I had realized that all game systems where the same and I was waiting for a revolution. When playing the Wii, it’s more then a game its life. It brings you into the game and lets you experience hands on exactly how gaming should be. The Wii system is the 5^th console made by Nintendo, and one of the best. The best part of the Wii is the distinguishing feature of the wireless remote controller which detects rotation and motion. The Wii game system was made in Japan and it was envisioned by Nintendo’s DS system. Another important factor was the name Wii wasn’t trying to be like other game systems, but to create a revolution which was the codename of the console. The name was spelt like that because the two lower case ii represent two people standing side by side. As well Wii sounds like “we”, meaning that this console could be played by everyone, and could easily be remembered. For someone who has experienced Wii they will agree with me that it is one of the greatest game consoles every made. Over 3.25 million+ have bought this console worldwide and each minute that number grows. The Wii system is more then a hype it truly is a “technological revolution”.

THE GENOGRAPHIC PROJECT

WHERE DO I COME FROM??

The Genographic Project was made to study the human journey and explain how we arrived to where we are today. The genographic project feels that we are all from Africa, but the question was how so many ethnic groups grew. The Genographic projects consist of collecting DNA from over 100,000 people and find which haplogroup we belong to. It explained that we are all part of a haplogroup which describes our genetic marker, and the history of humans that share the same DNA markers. The science behind this project is Phenotype data is collected and transmitted to the Genographic Project DNA analysis in Washington D.C. Scientist then use advanced technologies and data sorting to interpret the samples and discover new patterns to help us learn more about human history. This project is a great idea and it’s something that everyone would have wanted to learn a long time ago. This project couldn’t of happened 100 years ago because I don’t think there where as many ethic and diverse places as now. Indigenious groups are very important because they contain key genetic markers. Both traditional and indigenious groups need to be sampled to complet this. The Genogrpahic Project hopes to be a 5 year effort, and to collect DNA from people around the world. There are 3 core-components involved in this project which are, Fied Research, Public Participation and Awarness Campaign, and Genographic Legacy Project. Hopefully when this project is completed it will let us all know our history and journey of how we got where we are today. This project was a great idea, and the migration patterns should still continue to be watched even after this Genogrpahic Project. In 100 years the next generation would wonder the same question. How we arrived to where we are today?

>>Reading Iin Cyberspace<<

It seems as though Google has been expanding more and more throughout these years because of how modernized the Internet is. The Google book search is broken up in three parts. First is Pd which is the section where you get full contexts of books that you are searching. Next is OPP which allows you to get only what the publishers chooses to give you. Next is IP which is only little snippets of words that your working with. It seems that when we look around the Internet more and more “suing” is going on from music to movies and now books. Yahoo and Microsoft want in on it to. Of course they would because there not getting the same attention as Google. The information that is accessed is the information that publishers give. So in the end it’s the say of the publishers, if there aren't any publishers then Google is safe and only gives snippets. Liberians shouldn't’t feel threatened because nothing wrong is occurring. If someone doesn’t have access to a library or doesn’t have a card then why are we holding them back and telling them no. Of course the Liberians want a piece of what Google Is making because it will get larger and larger as people realize what a great idea it is. Personally I am 100% for it, for one I don’t even have a library card anymore, and to get one its complicated. This way it’s easy, and fast, and a great way for authors books to be seen. Google is an amazing site for information that you need others shouldn't’t be upset just because they didn't think of it first.
