day without technology

The day with out technology was very hard. I failed the challenge to not use technology first thing in the morning when I used my phone's alarm clock to wake up for school. I again had to use technology to get to school by car. In my photography class I had to use the camera and computer, thus failing to stay away from technology. I can't go a day with out technology in my everyday life.

Thoreau's View of Technology

Thoreau views technology as a pollution to earth. A lot of technology does disturb nature and pollute, but it has become very important to everyone's lives. Technology is becoming better and more efficient to reduce pollution. I use my cell phone and plenty of other technologies everyday. I wouldn't be able to go with out technology for a day unless I was away from the city and I was in the wild.

Thoreau podcast

1. The host views Thoreau as a tester of American citizens and someone who questions the government.
2. Katelynn Todd views him as an uncaring person.
3. Living like Thoreau would allow people to be themselves and have their own opinions.
4. Thoreau faces many opposers and you would have lots of problems.

civil disobedience

I am against the government censoring the media and news. The best way to prevent them from censoring information is doing something to protest when they do censor something. The best way to have a successful protest is to have a peaceful and nonviolent one, like Martin Luther King Jr. It is wrong to be kept from information.

renegades of funk

Chief Sitting Bull, Tom Paine, Dr. Martin Luther King, and Malcolm X are all mentioned in this song. Zack de la Rocha admired that they were renegades and stood up for what they believed for.
