Reflection of my first two weeks in this class and the research project.
The first two weeks I was in this class I did a research project on how technology effects sports and how they make sports safer. I think my project went pretty well but if I could change anything I would probably change the amount of information I put into the presntation.
I think the bigest advancement in technology is the telephone because it makes communication over long distances easier. The technology that impacts me the most is computers becaus a lot of the assignments and a lot of the information I get I use a computer to get it. Between each invention there is a lot of time but the time gets shorter between each invention creation. In the future I can see technology becoming more environmentally friendly and more usefull.

Perdue Online Writing Lab(OWL)
OWL explains the different sides of online searching. OWL says there is a lot of information, but not all of it is the best. They say “the internet is a good resource, but library resources have more information.” Search engines only look at (index) a fraction of the available information. Not all of it is up to date. Also, OWL says search engines don’t always search the entire page, so the information could be hidden from you. All of the information on the internet isnt found on search engines. search engines are not the best way to find material on the web.
Autonomy, Mastery, Purpose
Autonomy, mastery, and purpose are very important things in a person’s life. Autonomy is if you get compensated for good grades or when you were a little kid; you would get a piece of candy or a quarter for doing something good. Then there is mastery which is when people do something just to be good at it. Also everything a person does is with a purpose.
