About me

 My name is Yuliya, but I like it better when they call me Julia. I am Belarussian girl from Belarus who speaks Russian. I came to United State three years ago. My English isn't good enough, but I am trying my best and I think I am making progress. I want to achieve my goals to finish school and become a nurse. I like making new friends and hanging out with new people. I am spending a lot of time at work (Jimmy Johns). I love my life the way it is.

   Thomas Edison Did Not Invent The Light Bulb.      Thomas Edison shouldn't be credited as the inventor of the light bulb! The light bulb was around for a long time before Edison started working on it. How it says in the article: "Ernest Freeberg shows that the light bulb reflected the work of many inventors, rather than Edison’s lone genius." At this point I can say that Thomas Edison stole —ideas from other inventors who were also working on an incandescent bulb.   Two Canadians, Henry Woodward and Matthew Evans, successfully produced and patented an electric filament lamp before Edison had seriously turned his mind to electric lighting.

Social Media

     Social media has become the main source of news online with more  with more than 2.4 billion internet users , nearly 64.5 percent receive breaking news from Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Snapchat and Instagram instead of traditional media. But, can we trust everything what says in social media? "There are  many "fake news" websites that compete for attention with sensational headlines and ridiculous storylines that tend to get shared more often due to the lack of readers fact checking or reading more than the headline. That means that authentic content is hard to come by now. In fact, fake news is actually more likely to spread than the truth," said Martin, Nicole.  I agree with it. It seems like we can't trust social media. Most of the time they make up the news. That way more people want to read the news and the website gets more views.     News happens fast now.
