Technology Article

In this article it talks about how Yahoo is thinking about taking over Tumblr. Yahoo is offering Tumblr 1.1 billion dollars in cash by Chief Executive Marissa Maye. Also Tumblr will still be separate business and independently operated. Dave Karp, the founder of Tumblr in 2007, will still be the CEO. Yahoo is trying to get Tumblr because it is one of the most used sited by teenagers and hope it will attract them to use yahoo. Yahoo also thinks it ill increase there audience by 50 percent to more then a billion mouthy users.

Career Clusters

The clusters that were most suited for me was Hospitality and Tourism. Hospitality and tourism is workers that help people enjoy there vacation, and entertainment activities. You could work at a restaurant, resort, sports arena, theme park, museum, or hotel. The attributes you need to have are outgoing, friendly, and easy to talk to. In my opinion I think this was a decent match for me because I like talking to new people and making people happy or helping them but I don't like waiting on people. I enjoy helping people or taking care of them or help them get to wear they need to go or lead them on the right path but I do not like doing everything for them.

Google Docs

One of the things I liked about Google Docs was that you were able to work on the same paper as your partner and that it didn't just have word it had excel, power point etc. One of the things I didn't like was sometimes when my partner and I would try and write at the same time on the paper it would freeze for a second or would slow down a lot.Yes I really liked being able to work on the same paper as you partner because we didn't have to keep emailing it back and fourth or brainstorm on different pages and this way we both new what the other one was doing and how to fix ours. Google could improve there Google Docs by fixing the slowness when we would try and type at the same time. I think our project turned out really well because we were able to know what the other one was doing and we could help each other easier and overall I don't mind using Google Docs.
