A week without Google or Facebook
I’ve spent the past few years off of Facebook after I canceled my account to escape the anxiety that I felt it was giving me. I only rejoined in the past few weeks because my community board only meets on a Facebook page for this rural Florida town that I own property in. I deliberately …

So if someone were to look up “Funky Cabinet” and that person has a history of looking for Alice in Wonderland, then anything that could merge …

App Idea and Article Review by Michael Li
Through my personal experiences with social media, it seems like social media can be both a blessing and a curse. A hundred years ago, one could take a picture and save it if they choose. If they didn’t want it or if the photo was very embarrassing, one could simply rip it up and throw …

Google 2.0
Honestly there isn’t much I’d change about Google, so here is my Google 2.0. The biggest change I’d like to make to Google is adding a filters button.
