January 20th 2020

     Because we couldn't get the computers, Mr. Parterson introduced us, the app called Zotero. Zotero was a reference managing app, and I felt it was a high-performance app. Using this, we do not make any mistakes in writing references which we can not have any mistakes.
     Writing references looks easy to write but actually, it is difficult for writing it perfectly. I still do not understand the correct way of writing references for websites and academic journal papers. I don't understand the differences between these two of the way for writing references. Also, many people think writing all of the references is exhausting. For people like this, this app will be a very convenient app. However, I think I won't use that much because I don't write many references yet, so maybe, it will be easier for me to type all of it in my own hands.
     The interesting thing Mr. Paterson talked to us is, is the reason the BBC does not write the name of the person who wrote the article. The reason was if people research the name of the journalist, people can know the bias in the article. However, I think it is impossible to write an article without any bias, so it will be better for people researching the person and recognize the bias.
     Also, we got introduced an app called 1Password. It was the app to memory all of the passwords for you in the online. However, I thought this app is meaningless because as people write the password on the app, maybe, the owner of the app can know about your password. Even though the owner says that they are not able to see the password, there is no evidence to believe the app. I think it is inconvenient a little, but it is better to make a notebook to write the password in it. It is not always good to depend on high-tech.
     In today's class, I had a chance to think about high-tech and low-tech. I thought it is important to use convenient high-tech, but also essential not to depend too much on high-tech, and also accept low-tech.
