"since everything is on the Internet, I don't need books ... right?"
I don't think this comment is right because not all of the data that find in the Internet is valid and like we discussed in library research there is different types of ways we can check if the information in the Internet is right. I also think that in book we can find more detailed information that is more credible because I don't think author go around publishing books with false information other than fictions books that required most of the information to be false. I also think that books are more accurate and easier to find because you can go to your nearest library and ask the librarian if they know where they can find the information you need. But sometimes in the web you can get connected to the author of the book and ask him/her a question about your topic, then again it could also be false information because some people just like to mess around and invent something up and make the other person waste their time in something that was not worth it. A good example of this would be the page we saw about the pregnant man in library research, we saw that this page was well elaborates and that it could probably full people that pulled it up but it was easy to detect that this page was fake because if you pressed on the links it would not take you anywhere. You could also see that it was fake because you press on the information tab type of thing and it would talk about another topic.

What do you think librarians do? What do you think would be really cool if librarians started doing it? What do you think the library of the future might look like?
I think that librarians arrange the library and can help you when you need a type of information or a book that could help you.I think librarians should be more fun, because we sometimes think of them as if they know everything and they don't have fun doing their work. I think they should have a smile and a more enthusiastic tone of voice. I imagine the library of the future with allot more of technology and less books because they would all be in the computer or in a tablet.

What do you hope to study when you go to college and why? How is the pre- collegiate program helping you meet your goals?
When I enter college in want to get my PhD in pediatrics. I know that it might be along way but its going to be worth all of the time spend on it. I also want to have a minor in arts, its something that has interested me since I was in elementary school. I think that the Pre-collegiate program has helped me because its preparing me for college. It is also giving me challenges that will make me a better student and a better human being. Other than that it is also giving me college credit which is really important because i will not have to take the same course twice.
