Week 1: Opening Thread: Post your Blog Entries as Comments to my Main Post Each Week

Your Name
2. A Title (Implying the Future Scenario You Picture Would Happen that you want or fear)
3. A comment: this is a short personal future scenario based on what you learned from the news article about a major trend, or what made you curious about discussing such a trend given the week's class content. However, it doesn't have to be about the week's content, only something related to proposing a future scenario or two.
4. Then put a long line ('-------------------)'.
5. Then cut/paste A SMALL PART of the article or topic you found. (This is because blogger.com now has a limit of "4096 characters" in blog comments. However, that should be enough to concentrate on your own comments, and provide an excerpt and a link to the original article. If you do want more space, and I encourage it, post a second time to get another "4096 characters".)
6. Then a small line '---'.
7. Then, finally, paste the URL (link) of the post.

Post for the first week on this thread. I'll set up a new main post each week, and then we will do the same.

    2. My Comment's Title Concerning a Scenario or Two about the Future(s) Possible, Probable, or Preferrable Based on the Trend in the News Article Below

    3. There is something about the following article that interests me, fascinates me, and/or makes me wonder what the article leaves out, etc. I can write as much as I want on this blog about my view on the article and the issues that it discusses. I can write about personal experiences that the article reminded me about. I can write about a different view of the same issues that the article mentions. I can convince people of something, express my intelligence, and express my emotion in this comment. I discuss some future potentials related to the post about its trends--and whether this is a possible/impossible, probable/improbable, or preferable/unpreferable future idea. If I have an idea, I can discuss how to get to a preferable future instead as well, related to the trend below. If I have little clue what to do about the trend, I can say so as well. I am required to use some combination of the words "possible, probable, or preferrable" in my post.
