Pictures that Lie

I chose to discuss the picture of CBS's New Year's Eve broadcast. Shown is a CBS reporter with his back to Times Square, right after the ball dropped at midnight. The picture originated as a single frame of CBS's live television broadcast. However, due to the unfortunate NBC logo in the background of such frame, CBS decided to use digital technology to conceal their competitor's name, which could have been used as a form of advertisement against CBS if not concealed. This act of covering up company names, sports logos, or anything that could be considered unnessessary or unwanted advertising is performed all the time and, therefore, should not be seen as a misuse of technology in this particular case.

Wireless Internet

Here at Trinity University, I prefer to stay connected to the internet via my dorm-room's ethernet cable; for, I find that I get a better, faster internet connection than going wireless. However, many of my friends here have no problem going wirelessly. In fact, they find it quite convenient to sit outside on the balcony or under a nice, shady tree to do homework on their laptop.
