Radiolab

The first radiolab grabbed my attention when it mentioned a community defining itself. Or rather, the analyst asked an uneducated individuals within a community and uneducated answer followed. This was interesting to think about in relation to our class. The class before our radiolabs were due we discussed our code of conduct. It is interesting we began by defining how we want our class or community to be, before we let it play out.
The second part I found very interesting was when they mentioned google. They described how no one in particular decides which search results appear first. However, everyone decides which results appear first based on which results have the most hits.
In the second radiolab, I found the story about Zelda smoking quite intriguing. Her commitment to stop smoking by forcing her friend to withdraw $5,000 from her bank account and donate that money to the KK shows how tough it must have been to stop. She forced herself into a grueling situation with horrible consequences, and was able to come out on top.
