I didn't find much that drew my attention right away in today's paper. I scanned the headlines, reading an article here and there before I decided to stop and write about the front page article boasting Google's wildest dreams. The article is about Google X, a secret lab facility that only a select few know details of where Google staff dream up their next big ideas like the driverless car and space elevators. Situated in an area only those who work there know about, the information given was very limited and all from employees who were briefed on the topic, not first hand accounts.
This article was interesting because most of the information used by the reporters was not first hand. Since its such a top secret place, they had to use other sources a bit farther away from the center to get any information at all. In my experience so far, going directly to the source and then those around it has been the best option for writing articles. I never really considered what it would be like to write a piece about something so secret no one would speak of it. Either way, the technology they are dreaming up sounds fantastic and a bit reminiscent of irobot.
