Welcome ! This is my  English 259 _Intensive Writing blog.  

 My name is Karina my regular writings are  lab reports, research papers, essays, formal letters emails and posts. Starting today this list includes blogs!.  I enjoy reading news or post regarding the discovery of new species, advances in the medical field and humanitarian programs created to help individuals help themselves such as Global Health Share Initiative. I am majoring as an electrical engineer at La Guardia Community College. Upon completion I plan to find an internship and continue my studies at a four year college such as City College of New York.

 I am interested in environmental, biological, chemical, psychology and neurological fields of science. All aspects of science are fascinating especially since they help shape our lives. Today everyone has a direct or indirect relationship with technology' however everyone's relationship is different especially since technology covers nearly all aspect of our lives. According to Merriam-Webster technology is the "application of knowledge to change and  manipulate human environment through the use of tools, ideas [etc..] to make life easier and more pleasant" this means that even your ball point pen would be consider a piece of technology, after all  it only took "three different inventors and almost 60 years to develop" it .

A  farmers might use insecticides, tractors and seeding equipment, corporate employees may need computer programs for accounting and power point presentations, students may use computers with a working internet connection to gather information, pens, calculators, USB hard drives and much more. Technology to me and many others gives us more time and energy because a laptop with working internet service allows us to talk to relatives out of state, pay bills, manage bank accounts, buy groceries, books, easily obtain research information, compare prices, share data and information with teachers, peers and employers; and it also keeps us entertained... of course the list is never ending these are just a few examples of what a computer with internet service provides, can we possibly fathom all that technology has given us? Let's just look at our  kitchen and the very structure that keeps us warm at night!
