Working knowledge

I first got interested in this subject when I began to watch alot of birthing shows on discovery. My son beleives that the doctor is going to cut the baby out of mommys tummy like the doctor on the shows do. I heard that c-sections are every one in five nowadays and am fasinated by something that was so frowned upon growing up and considered so dangerous is so popular today. I have a step sis who has had three c-sec already the latter two being elective. My doctor frowns upon it and will only do it if necessary.

Why is there such an increase in c-sections?
Are C-sections still considered dangerous?
Are you limited to the number of kids that you can have if having c-sections?
Are they more cost effective?
Is there danger to baby when an elective c-section is done?
Are c-sections done more often in heavily populated areas?
Is the sucess rate of having a vaginal birth after a c-section also on the rise?
What is the reasoning behind elective c-sections?
Are doctors more comfortable doing this surgery than a vaginal delivery?
Is it easier and more time saving to just do c-sections than waiting for baby to come?

In the article “Google Zooms In Too Close for Some” it introduces a product on Google Earth called street view. Street view collects photos that show what a person might see it looking from the street. The articles main focus is on the negative perspective that people have with the product. There are people that find that it intrudes on their privacy, and it many examples of people caught doing things less than desirable for public view. With the introduction of the product people are on the search to find photos and submit them to a blog in a contest for “Best Urban Images”. Google has offered to delete images if requested.
I do not think I will necessary base a lot of my research on this article as it is mainly focused on one tiny part of Google Earth. Also it only gives a one sided opinion of the product which is negative. I will however keep it in mind and might throw it in to prove some of the turn offs. Peoples opinions are very important for this product to be successful. So I would find this article reliable in some of its context.

Steven Musil wrote and article on Cnet called “On the go with Google”. In the beginning of the article it explains the upgrade that Google Earth has came out with recently. Regular Joes can view Mars just like the scientists from Nasa, but with all the comforts their home computer provides. Nasa and Google have teamed up together to provide more information on oceans and then back up to the stars. A cool new feature that I checked out myself was the historical maps. Google also just a product called latitude which helps people locate and track others making the electronic leash shorter and the world a bit smaller. They worked on the privacy issue connected with this by having it password protection. The rest of the article in my opinion, is pretty irrelevant to Google Earth it self. This would be a good article to have handy when introducing the new features but not alone as it mainly talks about a few of the features very briefly. I also didn’t like it going way off into other subjects that really didn’t pertain to the title. I will most likely wouldn’t use this article as I am fairly sure that there are better sources for this kind of information
