the smart phone i think are going to become more and more involved in our privacy because the technology is just getting better and better while our government is getting more and more nosy, the iPhone x is going to be worth grabbing i just know it and the virtual reality Facebook is making is pointless in my opinion its better to be somewhere that you could be hands on

For the article about tinkering with code, I really liked the quote:

"If the web no longer has a simple on-ramp, it could easily discourage curious amateurs. We don’t want the field to de-­democratize and become the province solely of those who can slog through a computer science degree."

Interestingly enough, cs was always a career for those who did not have a degree in computer science, in fact, for the most part, no degree at all. If you had the coding skills, you were in. Looks like the website: Glitch is trying to keep that alive.

For the article, "Facebook announces a wireless $200 VR headset", I'd like to add that it may be difficult to get users to interact with Facebook with a headset. People like using facebook to look up posts or news quickly with their own eyes. I cannot imagine pulling out my headset, putting it on and waiting for the T to come by.

For the article, about it being pronounced the iPhone X or as my idiotic brother said the iPhone 10, I'd like to add that I dont care because it a damn roman numeral and people need to calm down about the all these new phones

The technology in these devices are cool, but I think privacy is important. They shouldn't listen to everything.
