Debate Over Music Piracy


A huge problem within our society today is the process music pirating. The effect of piracy continues to be intensely debated in the entertainment industry. many studies have shown that it negatively affects sales, and makes a consumer less likely to legally purchase their favorite music. This topic will long bring heated arguments between artists and legal copyright laws. I felt this situation didn't effect me but it effects our generation greatly because we appreciate all types of music and I am sure have all committed some sort of music piracy or just even listened to pirated music. I enjoy the thought of free music and i love the fact i can get free music on the internet but in the long run someone is effected negatively.
      So the question i'd like to bring up is why our generation so likely to not oppose or fight against music piracy?

Google Glass



Google released a video showing what it would look like if you were wearing the Google Glass. but unfortunately the only thing we have seen about the device is what is shown in that video. This is a cool idea to everyone and it would definitely be a technology breakthrough, but why has google gotten everyone so excited over a product that does not exist yet? I know there are prototypes and models that have been created and there is a maximum amount of potential for this product, it just seems a little too unrealistic to expect google to pull it off. 

if you have not seen the video or the website,
