Photo Retouching

I chose the the photograph of the smoke rising from the buildings in the Lebanese capital. I chose this picture because I thought that the editing in this photograph was the most harmful. The picture was taken by Adnan Hajj in August 2006 after an Israeli air raid. Hajj added more smoke to the photograph and made the smoke look darker. He did this to make the destruction look more dramatic. I think that this manipulation is harmful because it misinforms the American public and could influence our views on the international issues.

Here is a link to the photograph: http://news.com.com/2300-1026_3-6033210-1.html

Trinity's Network

I hardly ever use the wireless network here at Trinity. I mainly use my laptop in my room, so I have it plugged into the wall. There have been times when I have needed to use the wireless network and it is so nice that it is available throughout campus. I think that it is a huge academic help because it allows professors to communicate with students 24 hours a day.
This article describes how wired different campuses are.
