1. Is there something you collect (physical or digital)?
1. I have a small collection of cool colored pens.

1. How does the digital world affect the way we collect? 
1. Collections are now easier because you don't have to physically own an item.

1. Think about the digital collections you have...for example: I have years worth of photographs, a hard drive full of music I haven't listen to in 5 years, resumes dating back to 2001...
   

Set up collecting parameters (do a search or two to see if it's plausible):

1. What? (swimming pools in philadelphia)
1. running trails in Philadelphia
2. How many? (example 25… less is more)
1. 15
3. Where to source (must be online - google maps)?
1. google maps/ visitphilly.com
4. Why? (What does this say about you, society, why is this important?)
1. Running is something that is very important to me and since I know all the trails near my house, I decided to look up trails in Philadelphia because it is my new home.

10. What is the relationship between computers and visual studies?

13. Write a five line story.
1. "What is that?' I wonder as I walk down my stairs and immediately step into something wet. I look around and realize with horror my living room is completely destroyed. The curtains are pulled down, trash is strewn everywhere, there is mud all over, and the potted plant is smashed on the floor. Who possibly could have done this this much damage? Then out of the corned of my eye I see it: my extremely untrained puppy.
