Altered Picture



I chose this picture because I have always been very interested in Egypt and I actually have this issue of National Geographic at my home in Tulsa, OK. The picture originally showed the two pyramids farther apart. They are two of the four Great Pyramids at Giza. Again, National Geographic altered the photograph by moving two seperate images of the pyramids closer together to better fit the page. I do not believe that the manipulation was harmful because the magazine shows the pyramids exactly as they are. The issue addressed by the manipulation was just that of a formatting problem.

Wireless Networks

Here at Trinity University, I have yet to find a location where I cannot recieve an internet connection. This is incredibly helpful when I desperately need class information from Blackboard or when I just need a break from writing a paper to get on Facebook. For that reason, I believe that attending a university on the Top Ten list for most wireless campuses is great for both social outlets and academic help. Here is some information on a new wireless breakthrough for Canada's Concordia University: http://news.moneycentral.msn.com/ticker/article.aspx?Feed=MW&Date=20080130&ID=8111828&Symbol=CSCO
