      #3 is not just for video games. Do you play an instrument, board game, soccer...? Anything you enjoy doing with friends that involves some sort of strategizing.

The Power of Blogs

The great thing about blogs is that they can be about anything and it is a fresh perspective from outside the mainstream. Do you love to travel? Start a travel blog and it becomes your unique view on the topic. For this post I want you to pretend this is your blog. Write a post about a recent experience you had with something you have a strong opinion about. It can be negative or positive. Your post should be 6-10 sentences at a minimum. Compare and contrast what you are writing about with other things similar to your topic. For example: If you are writing about a record from a particular artist, compare it to similar artists or the artists earlier work. Same for restaurants, etc. See examples for ideas. The key is to be passionate. Ideas:  Movie review - Compare two movies you recently saw and what you like or disliked about them. Book review - see movie review... Music review Travel experience Restaurant review Fashion review Technology  Examples:...

The Internet is Beautiful

The idea for the Internet was born from the launch of the Russian Sputnik satellite in 1957. The US government was worried that the then Soviet Union possessed superior technology capability and could potentially strike the US with a nuclear missile. So it began to prepare for the consequence. The Internet essentially began as way to communicate if part of the country was destroyed. In 1969 the technology was advanced enough to begin testing it at universities and the first successful test was completed between the UCLA and Stamford campuses in California. It wasn't until around  1991  that the Internet was introduced for individual and commercial purposes. Today we see more an more users clustered around the same sites. Facebook, Google, Apple and Amazon collectively consume most of our attention and that's sad because there is so much more to it. For this post I want you to visit this site:  https://www.reddit.com/r/InternetIsBeautiful/  and as part of Digi...
