january 27: Difference between scientific and science writing

I think that scientific writing involves presenting facts, figures, and studies about any subject. You take the approach of presenting and trying and prove a theory. Scientific writing has traditional components such as a hypothesis that answers a problem. It’s a writing style that models the steps of scientific research. Science writing is more of a description of the theme of what you are writing about. To me science writing is about things like engineering or biology and says more about the subject matter rather than the writing style.

January 29: sobriety programs I don’t believe that sobriety programs are effective at all. The way and whether or not you consume alcohol have much more to do with your personal convictions and the people you associate with. In my personal experience all of the mandatory alcohol education programs I’ve completed shoved tons of impersonal information at me that I would have forgotten by the next day. The details about what harm you cause to your body I think are largely ignored by heavy drinkers. The people who drink to get drunk know the consequences but continue anyway.

Feburary 5:"What is one way by which we could adapt traditional research methods to make better use of current technology?"

Research done in libraries could benefit the most from technology. Libraries should model the trends of internet research. The online form of research has done a pretty good job of incoporating technology in forms such as ebooks and with online databases having the abillity to access millions of different materials.This technology makes research super easy, fast, efficient and pretty stress free. However, library research involving sorting through reference books and periodicals is somewhat old fashioned in comparison to how the internet is simplifying some many other areas of our lives. One application of technology that would be particulary useful in libraries is touch screens in front of periodical locations. Information could be located and sorted through with a touch of a finger. The screens should have a full options menu to ensure that the right material is found relatively quickly and without the feeling of having scowered the whole library for one peice of information. I think the overall theme of making traditional research more modern is disregarding the word traditional. Research should take full advantage of the technology's ability to make things faster and more efficient.
