Aboukhadijeh and Romero

    My first official homework assignment was to read two educational narratives.  "How I Learned to Program Computers," by Feross Aboukhadijeh and "How I Learned to Live Goggle Free," by Joshua J. Romero regarding the online world.  I can't really say I had a favorite, but if I had to choose, Romero's story would be more relatable.  Romero goes onto say how although he wasn't purposely trying to become a Goggle addict, it just happened.  When thinking about it, Goggle is a trap.  Like Romero says in the beginning, we've all at some point done business with Goggle.  The amount of time we spend on Google doesn't dawn on us until someone points it out. 

    Where is the first place you go when you want to find out information about something?  Most likely Goggle, correct?  Romero took a bold step in cutting himself off from the Goggle world.  Romero provided a step by step process on how he is going to exclude himself, which ties into our first paper.  Say my first paper is going to be on learning how to play a musical instrument.  I'm going to use a step by step process on how and when I learned how to play.  I'm going to talk about the different challenges that came about during my experience, just as Romero did.  

    Both writers had well written papers and can both be examples on how I can write my first paper.  They both talked about their process from start to finish, and what their ending results came out to be.  When it comes down to it though, Romero wrote a piece on something a lot of the world can agree upon and understand.  Which is why I prefer his story over Aboukhadijeh.
