Websites like anitwar.com and The American Conservative both have articles written in a strong antiwar voice. This means that these sites are expressing their opinions opposing war of any kind. We are hearing these views on sites that many people have never heard of and these thoughts are never expressed on mainstream news networks. So why is this?
You watch the news on FOX or CNN. When they talk about politics they somehow always bring up the possibility of war and how the President may get us involved in a war. But never to they talk about the antiwar campaigns and how their views the affect the world view on war. This is because the speech on these news shows are regulated. The people on these shows follow scripts that keep things professional and cause drama.
People who write for antiwar sites are not professionals and their opinion doesn't seem to matter to anyone. But when war is brought up by people on television it raises eyebrows. In a personal opinion I do not believe that the topics of war discussed on news shows are factual or true because what a newscaster can say is regulated to be a proper opinion. I believe this is the wrong thing to do considering that you should be able to speak your own mind, which antiwar sites do but not the professional TV news stations.

The Creation and Importance of Cloud Computing
Today, consumers are able to access their personal data and work files from anywhere with the use of cloud computing; a pool of network access to a wide variety of computing resources. Ever wonder how you can save all of your work to your computer? It is because of cloud computing.
Origins
Research on cloud computing began in the 1960s and was then refined in 1969 by J.C.R Licklider who developed a primitive internet with the ability to share scientific sources. But the credit goes to John McCarthy for developing the software as he developed a concept where multiple users could access the same data platform at once on the world wide web. So when one person could access something online others were now able to at the same time.
Modern Breakthrough
The first big breakthrough in cloud computing was the creation of salesforce.com in 1999 which was a general public cloud software. But it wasn't until 2006 when Amazon Web Services developed a large cloud that provided storage of data and was an affordable efficient way to keep hold of work. Shortly after, google apps came out with their cloud services that most students use like google docs and slides. And today you can store all of your personal information on your iphone with the development of apple's icloud.
Cloud computing seems to be an industry that continues to develop as it broke out just over 20 years ago. The prediction for cloud computing is that it will continue to grow as people in technology are always looking for a better internet. More software apps like adobe cloud are coming out and cloud computing is the reason that those cloud based software apps are always being developed for a better more efficient internet for the future.

The History and Importance of Radio
Throughout the 20th century there were many breakthroughs in technology that have changed the way things are done today. One of these breakthroughs happened very early in the 20th century. The discovery of radio and radio transmissions was one of the first wireless advancements in digital technology.
Beginnings of Radio
Discovered by Guglielmo Marconi in 1901, radio waves were able to be transmitted across the country and messages were first sent in Morse code. Radio became important early on even though speech was not yet a factor. An example of its importance was the Titanic crash in 1912. The ship had radio to signal for help which saved many lives. After this incident it was required that all ships have radio to communicate with authorities on the shore and other ships. This led to an even bigger expansion of radio.
Speech
In 1915, speech was first transmitted across the United States as it was sent from New York City to San Francisco. This was a big step in the history of radio as this allowed radio to be a form of entertainment for people. With speech people could listen to music, talk shows, and even sporting events.
Big Breakthrough
Once speech was invented, their came many different stations and shows one could listen to. So their needed to be a way to separate the stations from one another so you could hear them clearly. In the 1920's AM radio was invented by Reginald Fessenden which intensified radio waves to allow easy listening to music and voice. Later in 1933, Edward Howard Armstrong invented FM radio to separate stations from one another. AM and FM radio are easily the most important part of the development of radio because without it radio would not be what we know it to be; an entertainment platform with a variety of different stations and genres to listen to.
Radio is widely considered a major breakthrough in 20th century technology. Radio was a cheap way of entertainment and it could be taken with you anywhere. Today, radio can be listened to anywhere. In your car, in a restaurant, and even on your phone or computer. Without the invention of radio it is safe to say that the world of communication and entertainment would not be the same today.
