My powerpoint

I am going to do my powerpoint presentation on the current presidental candidates. I am a political science major and very interested in the upcoming election.

Powerpoint

1. Do not use complete sentences
2. Do not use too many colorful backgrounds that make the text hard to read
3. Try to be consistent throughout the presentation with fonts, colors, etc.
4. Always have a title slide
5. Each slide should have a title

They stole a picture of my son..

This is a very shocking story. Using people's pictures without their permission is quite illegal and I would be outraged as well. I am surpised that the company was not more apologetic when the woman contacted them. They should have immediately realized what they did was illegal and inexcusable. I think they should have had to pay even more than 4000 dollars, especially because of the rude way they responded.

Chris Nolan's Presentation

Mr. Nolan's presentation was very interesting. I liked learning about the different search engines and which ones provided better results. One thing I found out that suprised me was that .org websites are not automatically reliable. He showed us the martinlutherking.org website and it was completely ridiculous and racist. I had always thought that anything with .org at the end was definitely scholastic and reliable.
