News ATMs are Going Cardless


BMO Harris bank, a bank owned by Canada’s BMO financial group, has announced has installed ATMs that will not require debit cards. They will install 750 hundred of their ATMs, 400 in Chicago.

I find this piece of news interesting because I never thought there could be a chance that we wouldn’t need debit cards anymore. I don’t know if it will not or not, we’ll need time to tell. I believe these ATMs that BMOs is installing will be a trial run and if it is a success then other banks will follow the trend. Click on the link above to find out more!

The Dress Debate is Over


About a couple of weeks ago, someone posted a picture of a dress that started the national debate: blue and black or white and gold. I have heard lots of heated arguments over the color of this dress while walking around campus. This past week, the debate finally ended and it turns out that the dress it actually blue and black. Honestly, I was stunned to when I first heard the news. I thought the pictures I seen online had to be photoshopped. There is a scientific reason to way people see the dress in the two different colors, according to this article I found on CNN.com. There are tiny cones in the back of our eyes that make us see things differently depending on our genes. You can see more of this scientific explanation is the video above.

My News Take




Hey everyone! My name is Sidney and I'm a Telecommunications major at the University of Florida. I am an aspiring sports broadcaster, an avid puzzle solver, and Christian. I'm originally from Miami, when I was seven years old, I moved to Coral Springs, Florida; I'm a fan of everything Miami. I figured my why not go into sports broadcasting: I love sports, telling stories, and providing people with information. Unfortunately for sports fans, this will not be a sports blog. I actually write another blog for sports. I write this blog for an online class that I am taking and they said no sports.

The thing I will be writing on this blog is on a news story that I believe is worth talking about, whether other are discussing it or not. The stories I will share about will be topics from national news to technology. Anything that catches my attention will be the newest post on this blog. You guy can feel free to comment on each post that I published. I'm open listening to anyone who agrees or disagrees with my take on the story that I post. I'll looking forward to reading the comment on my posts and hope you guys the stories that I put on this blog.
