The first blog I visited was a blog on my favorite show, Entourage. Named after a popular quote from easily the greatest character on the show, Ari Gold, it is titled Entourage: Let's Blog It Out (Ari: "Let's hug it out"). A product of News Day Magazine Let's Blog It Out discusses recent episode including opinions and interesting facts about the episodes. Although I love Entourage I honestly don't see a need to read a blog about recent episodes, I watched them I know what's up.

The second blog I found centered on a topic of my choosing is The Fasted Blog On Two Feet by the Washington Post. Named after a term used to describe lacrosse the fastest game on two feet, The Fasted Blog On Two Feet covers college lacrosse and discusses teams during the season.

dumbest generation? sike

While I agree that certain facets of teenage life in the 21st Century do lead to short attention spans, disinterest in learning, and a host of other unproductive behaviors, I find the theory that we are the dumbest generation as a joke. I agree that many of us should care more about the world around us, as well as history because of the many benefits its teachings offer, yet to say that because we lack knowledge of these events we are dumb, is naive. The way our world is evolving, into a high tech based, fast paced society, is breeding us to thrive. What used to be knowledge that could contribute to one's overall standing, is now easily accessible to all with a few keystrokes and a little deductive reasoning. Not to refute the ideals that history is important, quite to the contrary I do believe learning history is important. I simply find the fact that you could much more easily teach a teenager how to use a computer software program, that have become the mainstay of the modern workforce, in a fraction of the time that it would take a aged individual of similar mental capacity to become familiar and comfortable the only evidence needed to prove our not so "dumbness."
