AMNH

Kelp forest exhibit was set up like a tv show... in that it showed visually what a kelp forest looked like (with a model) and had information on what it feeds what lives there how it ties in with global warming etc.

• Besides providing food for animals,humans use it for food fertilizer, and alginates.
• Sea otters are effected by pollution and arent there to protect kelp from being eaten by the urchins.
• Global warming causes warmer waters, and violent storms(which loosen the kelp). Hotter water also makes it difficult because kelp needs cold water.
• Harvesting destroys fish nurseries and nutrients.

NYPAL

What did I learn in the new york performing arts library...
First I learned there are two entrances (lol). Ok seriously I learned they have alot of books on art dance,music,film,media.They have cds which you can listen to including orchestra music from ballet.There was a weird man that kept laughing really loud as well (why didnt they tap him or something?). The section on media had titles like:Behind the media, White and black and blue. Books on finding the truth in media. I also saw books on musical groups like Destinys Child and Black Eyed Peas. Alot of information on Arts only .

A vision of students today

I think the video shows us how much technologyhas influenced us.Especially technology in the classroom, students spending more time online then studying or reading.It also shows how busy a college student is 26.5 hours a day being spent on sleep,school,and work etc.I think sooner rather than later were going to be rid of the classroom and have online schools only.Maybe better and cost efficent anyway no more papers, chalk, spending money on books we never use etc.

Sim0ne

Sim0ne is a story about the "perfect" actress,singer,role model etc. Her only flaw is that she isnt real, but actually a virtual simulation created by a computer programmer.Sim0ne comments on are now because she made everything she said and did lovable to her audience and she was fake, also like al pacino commented in the movie at this present time actors make ridiculous demands , when a couple of years ago the directors told them what to do. I think its more of them commenting on how everything is all about the money and glamour and not about the art . How al pacino working his but off as a director making movies because it meant so much to him and he got fired because the highest paid star didnt want to be in his film.The culture is following the stars and not the directors who have the vision, kind of screwed up in my opinion.The American Dream is either bought or stolen...
