Final Exam




How is the Google Living Stories approach different than other news sources?
It provide a new, experimental way to consume news, developed by a partnership between Google, the New York Times, and the Washington Post. In Living Stories, you can read the same reporting and analysis that you expect from the Times and the Post, delivered on a highly interactive platform.
Do you think this approach to stories will help to reduce bias in the news? Why or Why Not?
Yes. Since it puts all the resources from News sites, so we could read all the articles by the same topic at once, which reduce the time and we can compare with each other at one time. All of these traits give us a new way to read the news.
What features would you like to see added to Google's project?
I think Google should add a feature as we can vote and see which article get the most support by audiences.

Black Friday

My friends and I went to New York last week. We planned to do some crazy shopping at Woodberry,so our mood are very high. However, we didn't get anything we want, because there were so many people. These stores opened at 12am, every store has a long line. we waited 6 hours and still can get in store. we felt very cold and tried, so we decided give up. This is a bad experience for me and I found It is not good for in-store shopping on Black Friday. I think online shopping on website is more convenient. I found some good online shopping website that have some discount in Black Friday.
