CE 1.5

1. It would be in this newspaper because it has the news value of prominence, since it features a meeting between two newsworthy people.
2. Texan support of gay marriage has gone up from 29% to almost half. Support of legalized marijuana has gone up 13%.
3. Other key findings were that nearly two thirds of Texas supported the Legislature's funding of border patrol, 65% supported not deporting illegal immigrants in college or in the army, and 28% oppose the policy that provides these students with legal and renewable work permits.
4. It surveyed a younger and more diverse cross-section of society, unlike many political polls just surveying older, registered voters.
5. This season was amazing for Spieth because he won a green jacket for tying the record at the Masters, closed with a 1-under 69 for a four shot victory at the Tour Championship, and won $10 million at the FedEx Cup.
Wearables: A wearable is a piece of technology that you can wear on your body. We are seeing more and more of them because they are useful, and there is a convenience of having technology you need always on your person. The AppleWatch seems most appealing to me because it is very portable and has many capabilities. I think as the technology improves, there will be more wearables in the future with even more diverse functions. I think wearables will go as far as fitness devices, virtual payment, and internet access, but it will never fully replace or match all the functions of other technologies. It also can be inconvenient to do things on a small screen like the AppleWatch. I think as the technology improves, wearables will become more available and affordable. In that case, I can see myself owning one for internet and payment.
