Understanding Youtube

Jada's blog post taught me a lot about the beginnings of Youtube. I didn't realize that the site was meant to be used as a dating website at first! That really goes to show what all can change in ideas in a very short time. When people think of these ideas, some of the downfalls of them are that they are too stubborn to significantly change their idea. For these creators, changing their idea to adapt to how people were using it worked out for them big time!

Many startups think that they need a shiny new office space with high-tech equipment to get started. What these people don't realize is that many of the big companies started off way smaller than that! Youtube was founded in a garage and was later sold for 1.65 Billion dollars. They needed very little to get their idea off the ground. Of course, once they grew they probably needed a lot more, but at the start, many ideas don't need grand foundations!

Employers can find your social media and be able to find even deleted posts and updates in order to learn about who you are as a person and to find out if they would want you in their work environment. I personally don’t post to social media often. It creates ...

The Supreme Court

The Supreme Court The Supreme Court is the head of the judicial branch of the U.S. government. It consists of nine justices and has the power to check the other two branches of government. It was “established in 1789 by Article Three of the U.S. Constitution, which also granted Congress the power to create inferior federal courts” (History.com). The first Supreme Court justices were sworn in my President George Washington. The original Court only had six justices including Chief Justice John Jay and were to serve until they retired or died. It wasn’t until 1869 that Congress set the seat number to nine and it has remained that way until today. Their first meeting was on February 2nd, 1790 and were only tasked to work on organization procedures. They made their first decision on a case on August 3rd, 1971 in West v. Barnes . It was a dispute between a “farmer and a family he owed a debt to” (History.com). Over the last 200 years, the Supreme Court ...
