Informal Writing #7 The modern information landscape is flooded with thousands of news and “news-like” sources. The sheer volume of these sources presents a unique challenge to each one of us being news literate ourselves. To be truly news literate today, it is no longer sufficient to be familiar with just a handful of news sources you trust solely based on their reputations. Nor is it sufficient to rely on a handful of shortcuts or “tips and tricks” to determine what to trust. Today’s news literacy requires being able to evaluate the unfamiliar. It requires acquiring, developing, and continuously practicing a series of ever-evolving information evaluation skills. To get us started on this process together, I’d like you to spend some time reflecting in a paragraph or two on the following question: What type of news consumer are you? I know this is open ended and will make some of you nervous! There’s no wrong answer – just really think critically about your habits as a consumer of information. Do you sit down and watch the nightly news with your parents each evening? Do you discuss news at the dinner table? Do you receive most of your news on your cell phone? Have you customized your home page to include news from particular sources? Have you contributed to the creation of news via postings on social media sites? You have the first 20 minutes of class to work on this assignment. When you finish, please submit it to the Dropbox. If you need more time, please submit this to the appropriate Dropbox (Submit Informal Writing #7 HERE) by midnight tonight.

In discussion 5, we looked at networks in general; however, in this discussion we're looking at wireless networks, mostly focusing on mobile networks. Mobile networks in a global economy can be a challenge for multiple reasons. First, governments in other countries control the mobile networks. Second is the technology. Mobile networks in other countries might not be as good as the mobile networks within the US. As a global company, how can we deal with this? With a big push for 5G, which has speeds well over 2Gbps, how does that change the way you do business? What are some things you need to think about when it comes to doing business globally, using a wireless mobile network? Please make your initial post and two response posts substantive. A substantive post will do at least two of the following: Ask an interesting, thoughtful question pertaining to the topic Answer a question (in detail) posted by another student or the instructor Provide extensive additional information on the topic Explain, define, or analyze the topic in detail Share an applicable personal experience Provide an outside source (for example, an article from the UC Library) that applies to the topic, along with additional information about the topic or the source (please cite properly in APA) Make an argument concerning the topic. At least one scholarly source should be used in the initial discussion thread. Be sure to use information from your readings and other sources from the UC Library. Use proper citations and references in your post.
