Three Key Takeaways: Deeply democratic. Building something needed on an already existing model. I do enjoy the notion that hacking could be considered 'by the people, for the people'. The values of the internet are the values of democracy? Which is a nice thought that I believe used to be true, but in order to have a truly successful democracy there must be choice. Most sites now are owned by the biggest three or four and those are driven by profits. I can see the argument for 'clicks' equaling votes, but if I can only upvote an add and not downvote it, it is not truly democratic. Her use of 'empowerment' is perfect. People want to help with in their community and often do not know how. Civic hacking is a great way. Goverments are notorious for spending obscene amounts of money, civic hacking can really reduce the rates that countries spend.

I believe that we did ok with out agile mentality. Each day we retroed and discussed the next step or two and how we were going to attack problems.
When we got together, most of the work was done driver/navigator. This had its benefits and takeaways. We all knew the code quite well, but it ate up a lot of time when we could be working on other things.
If we had a further goal- maybe a month or so out, I can see how an agile mentality would be beneficial. Attacking things and regrouping as necessary.
With the short timeline we worked in, though, it seemed like we were just working on the next thing in the rubric.
I also believe that expertise is required for true agile implementation.
Project: Number-Guesser Doubles
Group Member Names: Gregory Anderson and Edward Cheatham
Goals and Expectations for the Project (What does each group member hope to get out of this project? What do we want to achieve as a team?

Why is it that a software development school is preaching empathy before the first day of school? I don't believe that you have to look further than the first article provided where a designer doing field research is interviewing a visually-impaired woman and realizing that the program being designed will have a profound impact on her life. What greater satisfaction can be extracted from hard work? As our days move closer and closer to the Age of the Machine, it is important to step back and think about how these machines that we are designing are impacting the lives of humans in need.
What does empathy mean to me? For me, I believe it means to listen. There are things that I will never fully understand. When I am faced with an issue that is impossible for me to understand, it becomes my job to listen and find out what it is that I can do to make the situation, at least, tenable. Hopefully, I can do even better than that! I have led large g
Imaginative-Inspirational
Imaginative-Inspirational thinkers enjoy bringing new ideas and tangible products into being. They are often attuned to atmospher, mood and aesthetics. Their thinking draws upon intuitive processes, emotion, expression and interaction with their external world. They like to picture both past and future scenarios, and to discern underlying elements of order in disorder, harmony in disharmony, and even sense in nonsense.
- The purpose of HTML is to provide the fundamentals of what you see on the web browser. From my understanding, it ranges from the text, the markup, the images, and videos. The HTML code alone is clunky and antiquated, but without it, there is nothing to build upon.
- The difference between a element and an tag is that an element represents a different type of HTML code. For instance
<h1>and<p>are different elements representing 'Heading 1' and 'Paragraph'. A tag is a set of a particular element that open and closes the function. For instance,<h1> This is a header </h1>would be a complete tag. - An attribute indicates what kind of extra information is being applied to the element. For example, a language code can be affiliated with the
<lang>element. - The head, title, and body make up most visible parts of the web browser. The body is most of what is seen on the page of the web browser. The head is u
