Technology Article

The article I read was about how bosses and colleges are now demanding you Facebook passwords. This act violates the first amendment and violates Facebook's terms of services. This is a violation of privacy for everyone. Many people are now actually giving their passwords out which is not good. people are now starting to rebel against this and starting to say no to their bosses and colleges.

Teddy Roosevelt and the River of doubt

Theodore Roosevelt, the youngest and 26th president of the United States, had just come off a terrible election in 1913.  The former president was humiliated and had to get away.  He was invited to Buenas Aires, Argentina by his son Hermit who lived in South America.  This was the perfect escape for the outdoorsman.  Him and his son decided to go on an expedition through the wildest part of the Amazon in
Brazil.  They went to find a supposively "unkown river".  Candido Rondon, Brazil's most famous explorer would join Teddy and his group of explorers.  Little did Teddy know that this trip would nearly end his life when his leg was cut and infected on a rock.  him and his crew had barely survived as they explored the 1,000 Amazon Tributary.  One of the most amazing parts about this was that Teddy was in his 50s at the time.
