Welcome to my blog! Here is a link to my blog in its total entirety.

I will be taking on the topics and issues corresponding to the recent developments in the technological world and their effect on society. The Menu on the upper left hand corner has links to all three of my projects. I would love to hear your thoughts on my writing, and I hope you enjoy my site!

Here is annotated bibliography and expanded prospectus for this project.

The essay describes the current state of our society and the possible outcomes that may occur in the future, depending on our actions. Here are some links to some of my drafting steps:
