Choose one of the assigned articles. What is interesting to you in this article/work and why?

I chose the Fruitful Presentation by Min Guhong. I found it interesting how simple this website is, but it's effective in conveying its messages. I also like how the website alternates the color scheme every few pages so that the user doesn't lose interest in the website. I also love how the green and yellow color allows the user to read the text regardless of what color the background is and what color the font is.

Do you agree with the author, why?

For the most part, the website talks about the creator talks about their favorite HTML tags and CSS, but there is a stament that stuck to me. Technology has always been something that you can access easily, especially around these times. AI is a very good example of how a tool can be used in either a good or bad way. There's websites that allow you to submit slideshows from a class and it gives you flashcards or a simplified set of notes. However, people take advantage of AI and ultimately grow dependent on it.

What other media (writings, images, etc.) this article reminds you of, and how are they related?

This article reminds me of the 1985 Mushroom painting from Yayoi Kusama due to the brightful colors that contrast with one another.
