Pictures That Lie
I chose the picture of Oprah Winfrey on the cover of TV Guide. This picture has pieced together two different people. Oprah's head and the body of Ann-Margret from a publicity shot. They did not get permission to use the body of Ann-Margret in this picture from 1979. I do not agree with splicing these pictures. First of all, it was illegal. Second, I feel like they manipulated this picture because they are trying to tell the public through the picture that everyone should look like this if they want to be the richest woman. This was very harmful because Ann-Margret's fashion designer noticed the picture and ratted them out.

Using the TU Wireless Network
The Trinity wireless network is my life.
Ok that may be a little exaggerated...but I do use the wireless network daily. Facebook is huge distraction for me. I check it all the time. That is not an exaggeration. I use facebook to look up people that I have recently met and I become friends with them so that I can talk to them more.
I also use the Trinity e-mail to get messages from professors, swim coaches, and friends that prefer to use e-mail over facebook.
The Trinity wireless network is not just a distraction for me, but also a huge help academically. Some professors post their lectures and power points online. This makes note taking in class easier because when I get back to my room I can just print out the notes. Google is also a huge help. I can find a lot of information on this search engine for research papers and to find pictures for classes.
Here is a link to information about how Lynchberg College deployed an outdoor wireless network and its benefits to the school:
