TERRA NURRRRRVA
I chose to watch Terra Nova. It airs on Fox from 8:00pm-9:00pm, starting September 26th. I chose this show for many reasons. For one it just seems really awesome. The story just highly interests me. Also, it has dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are super cool. For obvious reasons. I saw a preview for it awhile ago, and as soon as I did I wanted to watch it. Watching it for school is a win-win situation. I'm really excited for it, and I feel it could be a real success.

Computer-Generated Articles vs. Human Journalists
This is the article involved with this post. :D
Computer-generated articles have recently been used to create news for the people. This leaves the question as to how human journalists will continue on, as they might be replaced by this new software. Personally I think they have nothing to worry about. A person's personal opinion is more interesting than some technology that rambles on about the same thing and just giving straight facts. A journalist can get up front and personal with the incident and get quotes or add in personal experiences.
A human journalist can also get facts wrong and exaggerate what really happened, when a computer can give it straight forward as to what exactly happened. Computers are basically all-knowing and therefore can get all the facts right in an articles posts. It just lacks the personal opinions/experiences. So I believe that both will always be around, providing the news to people who want interesting stories and those who want facts.

Birds = Dinosaurs?
This shows what scientists think of birds being dinosaurs.
I find that this idea could go both ways, It's true that many dinosaurs developed feathers at some point in time and some even share a similar bone structure.I believe that birds may have evolved from certain dinosaurs that lived millions of years ago, but birds today are most certainly not. Dinosaurs are more reptilian than avian in general, which is why I think they evolved.
Dinosaurs that had feathers even showed more reptilian traits, being scales or sharp teeth.Thought it is true the bone structure is similar, bone structures can change over time to accommodate the situation at hand. This is all reason to believe as to why birds evolved from dinosaurs, but are not dinosaurs themselves.
