This maze was easy at first until every higher level after 3 made it difficult with the amount of moves you could make in order to get to your destination. It was a mind stimulator; it caused you to really sit down and think about what your next move would be. It frustrated me.

I love to randomly read articles from the NYTimes and so I consider this to be a website that I like. I traced nytimes.com to 1996. In 1996, the website looked very plain and it’s my least favorite because it doesn’t even catch my eye. It has one little picture and the font is small. It’s just really unattractive! I would not have visited this website in 1996.This is how the NYTimes website looked in 1996:
How NYTimes.com looked in 1996
It got better in 2006. There are actually more words on the screen and actual links but I still don’t like this one too much because there are barely any pictures and that catches my eye on a website. Here is how it looked in 2006:
This is my favorite version of the NYTimes website because it has more pictures, videos and several links to different things, including advertisements. This website is more interactive than the others and it grabs my attention right away. In the 1996 one there was barely any differences in the text sizes and it’s just boring to look at period. Here is how it looks now in April of 2013:

Click on the link above! Here is my chart using the application Wordle. It doesn’t necessarily exhibit an actual historical event, instead it talks about the changes of technology overtime and how it will be detrimental to life as we know it in the future. This was taken from my 25 page research paper written a few years ago. I think using wordle to display the information in my paper is useful in that the viewer can see the major topic just by the big bold words and surrounding words as well. At least, it gives the viewer a general idea about what my text is about. Now in order to get a real glimpse at my arguments, you’ll just have to read those 25 pages of pure masterpiece!
