Response ''The Conscience Hacker''

This article reminds me of how some people assume things. For example, some kids are using technology to do good things while some people assume its all bad. Another thing is that its giving us two different perspectives his and a second perspective that think technology is bad. Like he said its his world and he's not judging people how they look, like they are. He sort of uses irony when he mentions that how the other perspective thinks he's a criminal when they are all being racist, start wars, are murders, and are liars. And I  think this makes the article interesting, by using two different perspectives.

While reading "The Right to Your Opinion" I realized that people argue just to be right and I have to admit I do it sometimes. When people say "I have a right to my own opinion," they just want to end the argument because they realized they are wrong and don't want to admit. I find this very true and always hear that excuse.

In "The Laughing Heart" I think its about even if your feeling lost, there is always a way out. You just got to stay positive and that there is way more to life than you think.
