THIS JUST IN...

My Top 5 Sources of News and Information.

Fox 8 News

Fox 8 News is my local news network. I included this on my list because this is the news that I grew up watching. I recommend Fox 8 to my peers because it focuses on local news around High Point which includes the school that I go to, High Point University. When I was in High School I occasionally got the pleasure to appear on the news. I recommend this news outlet to those who are looking to learn about what's going on outside of the gates passed what they can see. I will also add they do a good job with the local weather as well.

CNN 10

CNN 10 is a collection of the 10 most popular new stories developing around the world squeezed into a quick 10-minute news segment. CNN 10 was a replacement for a very popular news program known as CNN Student News. While this may not be the Student News that we all know and love, it still does a great job of highlighting global news stories. I recommend this to my peers because it is a quick 10-minute segment that will fit into our busy schedules and keep us connected to the news that going on outside of the US.

IGN Entertainment

IGN Entertainment is a news network that used to only pertains to a certain demographic of gamers. IGN is more popularly known for its game reviews but they offer much more than that. I recommend IGN to my peers even if they aren't big into the realm of gaming because they may find something interesting that relates outside of the gaming realm. They recently have been broadening their coverage of past games and into more pop culture stories. Many people may be familiar with their small news segment The Daily Fix.

Apple News

Apple News is the news source that I use the most due to its easy accessibility on my phone. I get notifications whenever a news story comes out which helps me keep up with breaking stories. I recommend this new source to my peers because of its feature where you can filter your news to show you what you are interested in. The reason that Apple News falls fourth in my top five list is because of its Apple News Plus feature. I don't mind that they hold back certain stories for members, but what I don't like is how they post a partial story, and then you have to buy the membership to read the rest. I don't think that I need to explain how easy it is to spread false information when you only have half of the story.

Tik Tok

I debated heavily on whether or not to include Tik Tok on this list but after some deliberation here it is. As unreliable as it can be Tik Tok can sometimes show you a side of a news story that normal reporters might not always capture. Not all of the News on this platform is fake or slanted. I recommend that if you choose to use Tik Tok as a source of news that you do some research of your own outside of the app. I often find myself coming across interesting news and looking it up on Google news to get the rest of the facts.

  The Age Of AI The Impact of AI On Our Society https://research.uga.edu/presidential-interdisciplinary-seed-grant/wp-content/uploads/sites/93/2022/01/AI.png Based on The Video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dZ_lvDgevk      I think that AI is really cool and that there are a lot of cool things that are going to come from it but currently, AI is on a path that is leading it into a dark age. I don't like the idea of AI tracking our faces and everywhere we go. I know that we have face-recognizing technology because I use it every day to unlock my phone but this video gave me the idea that they could be using that technology in places. In class, we also talked about how AI can mimic voices and that makes things really scary. What is really dangerous is if AI makes its way into the courtroom. Because of the skills of AI, you could discredit and video or sound evidence that you have against a person and that really scares me. Movies are always being created around the idea of evil AI

 The Rise of The iPod Touch A Look At iPod Touches Through The Lense Of Diffusion Theory https://www.idemigods.com/v/vspfiles/photos/2G_FLLNT-2.jpg?v-cache=1645793973 What Is Diffusion Theory? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_of_innovations Diffusion of innovations is a theory popularized by Everett Rogers, a communications professor, in order to explain how, why, and at what rate new technology is spread. According to Rodgers, there are five main elements that influence the spread of ideas; innovation, adopters, communication channels, time, and social system. Adopters can be further put into the categories of innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards. What Was The iPod Touch? The iPod touch was introduced in 2007 and the last generation was released on May 28, 2019. I can remember when I got my first iPod Touch like it was yesterday. My parents got me one for Christmas and they tried to have me open the iPod and then the case and some add ons but
