I am not quite sure if we’re supposed to write about our volunteer project or our group project for the New York Times Front Page articles, so I’ll write about both.

For my New York Times Volunteer Project, I went to a library at 67th street and helped seniors for roughly an hour. The seniors at the library were relatively new to the technological advancements that we have taken for granted and I decided to commit roughly an hour to helping the older folks with computer problems. Some needed help with e-mail problems, others just went on Facebook and scrolled through their family member’s pictures. Either way, I enjoyed my time helping the elderly with deleting emails and conversing about their grandchildren.

Coincidentally, for my New York Times Front Page assignment, my group and I focused our analysis on technology. We each did separate work for each of the categories: local, national, and international. Although one group member did shine and get us through our lazy slump, we each tried to summarize articles about technology to the best of our abilities. I specifically focused my attention on an international article about technology. I found an article about international spamming and Ddosing and found interesting theories of the state of our future with technology.

I found these two projects very interesting and helpful mostly because I believe that we need to focus our attention on technology for others, as it is the future.
