As we look back through the records of histroy, humans have made and continue to make an extraorindary advancment in technology. These transformations in technology have worked and cooperated with humans to make life better. In the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming," new advancements in self-driving cars are presented. Though there are many drawbacks of the idea as of right now, humans will make another historial breakthough as they always have. I believe the idea of driverless cars should be promoted due it being more safe, efficient, and helpful to our everyday lives.
The first reason of why I support driverless cars is because of how much more safer it is. If you look out to our world today, machines have replaced so much of what used to be the works of humans. That was because of machines being more capable of precision and safety. Many factory works have been transferred over to machines who do not have to rely on anyone else and additionally does not have to be concerned about safety. In the same way, we can see how much more safe driverless cars are. Google has proven this because their "cars have driven more than half a million miles without a crash." In our world today, there are car accidents occuring every minute of our lives. If we can reduce the amount of accidents through driverless cars, then the lives of people will be more safe. Because of how driverless cars can ensure the safety of humans, I support it.
The second reason why I defend the idea of driverless cars is because of how dependent society can be towards these cars. Although driverless cars are not as developed as we wish to, they will be completed to perfection in the near future. With driverless cars being perfected by manufacturers, they will be more cooperative as they can coordinate themselves with other driverless cars so accidents will not happen, and they will find out the shortest distance and time to a certain destination. Google's cofounder Sergey Brin envisions of a more sophisticated car that enables more efficientcy than that of the human: "The cars he foresees would use half the fuel of today's taxis and offer far more flexibility than a bus. He believes such cars would fundamentally change the world." With the development of these cars, they can replace all the cars humans drive with a great transportation system for public-transport and commuters. I support driverless cars because of how they can steer the world into a better place.
Lastly, I endorse self-driving cars because of how helpful it will be to humans. If you were in in an emergency situation where you couldn't drive but needed to go to a hospital, driverless cars would literally save your life. Not only that, but if you are a child and you have no one that can drive you to your game, or grocery store, or friends house, you never have to ask anyone ever again for a ride. A driverless car would always be there to help you in your times of inconvenience. Because of how convenient driverless cars can be, it is one more step of why I defend driverless cars.
No matter how crazy an idea or an invention of technology may be, they were made to make the lives of humans better. Every invention had its own times of adversity: The lightbulb, computers, planes, and even the car itself. Every piece of technology had to go through numerous amounts of trial and error to become what it is today. This concept applies to driverless cars as well. We are merely in the stage of development and trial and error so that driverless cars can be made to perfection for the comfort of human lives. I support the idea of driverless cars because of how safe, efficient, and life-changing it will be to humans. | 4 |
In the story "A Cowboy Who Rode the Waves" is about a man named Luke. Luke first started out working two part-time jobs at a grocery store and at a bank. Then his friend Don invited Luke to go on a cattle boat ride to Europe, but Luke couldn't say no.
Then the reason Luke started to work with the "Seagoing Cowboys" because he wanted to help the people with their cattles, horses, and mules. Also to help countries recover their food supples, animals, and more, 44 nations joined to help to form UNRRA. Luke also join to travel across the ocean and se new places too.
Then Luke work hard to feed the cattle, horses, and mules twice or three times a day, Luke started to work hard by bring up bales of hay and bring bags of oats from the lower holds of the ship to feed the cattle, horses, and mules everyday, and cleaning the stalls for the aniamls to comfortable when the animals are on the ship. Then on one rainy night after Luke made his hour report to the captain. He slipped on the leader and landed on his backside, but he was stopped by a small strip of metal on the edge to keep him from flying overboard. Luke broke his ribs and could not work for a couple days to his engary.
In conclusion Luke and other people had a hard life during the year that they had, but they still had a good life during the year with their families and friend that are there to support you no matter what happenes during those year they had together.Also you should always work hard to complete your goals in life like Luke did in the story. When Luke completed his goals he got the best out it and he was happy all his life and his dream came ture to be a "Seagoing Cowboy" because he worked hard with the cattle, horses, and mules by getting them to places the animals need to go. | 2 |
Venus one of the hottest place I wouldn't recomand going there too study, it's too dangerous to go study at venus , you could get stuck there or something. The planet surface temperatures is over 800 degrees Fahrenheit and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what our own planet. The percent of carbon dioxide is 97 percent. People study about venus, how is and how hot it is and if there is people/animals living there, but they know it's not easy conditions but servivable for humans.
Comparison systems that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces. Exploring venus is dangorus because if NASA is planning someone too venus wouldn't be a good idea is better sending them in a group but sending someone alone is not a good idea. Venus is the closest planet to Earth terms of density and size and occasionally the closet in distance too. Earth, Venus, and Mars and the other planetary neighbor orbit the sun at different speeds. The differences in speed mean that sometimes we are closer to mars and other times to venus.
Numerous factors contribute to Venus's reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study , despite it's proximity to us. | 1 |
In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" I disagree with incorperating the Facial Action Coding System into classrooms. Mainly due to paragraph 9. In this paragraph the author states tht the actors are putting on someone else's face. The way I see it is if students know this project is happening the won't be themselves. Another factor would be that some individuals don't produce the same aces as others.
Students often don't ask questions because they don't want to seem as if they don't understand. Forcing a person to get help isn't terrible but it also isn't anyone's decision except that persons. Most students woud probably manipulate this program by seeming confused to get an easier lesson. Who's that helping?
Once students are aware of that this is happening they're more then likely going to take an approach of paragraph nine. A majority of individuals don't show they're emotions because they don't want to burden others. That is they're personal decision. And to be completely honest, that isn't something you can take away. There are ways around everything, as in "feeling someone else's emotional state."
Nick D'Alto, developed an amazing idea that can be used in important situations. Such as mental hospitals. Children, adults and elders spend they're lives locked up for various reasons. A major population of patients just can't express themselve's verbally or don't know how. This causes them to be stuck in a home for years, never getting better. How can you get better if nobody knows there's nothing wong? I do disagree with the FACS program in schools but i would strongly insist the program was trialed in mental hospitals. | 2 |
It is the morning after the election, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and you are joyful as can be, Why? Last night's vote showed that your president that you wanted to win was going to be the next President of the United States of America. You go to your laptop, open the screen, and there, in bold letters it says that the candidate you did not want to win was sitting there in the Oval Office. You are in shock. Your friends call you and ask you what happened. Did something go wrong? Did we miss any extra votes last night? You go look at the votes, they are still the same. Then you relize that the Electoral College did not care what the people of this country said. The Electoral College did not care in one candidate had 100,000 more votes than the other. All they wanted is everything to go their way.
I think we should get rid of the the Electoral College. And I know that many other people in this country would agree. I think that is should be changed to the popular vote for the President of the United States.
As you can see, for the past few elections, there has been a lot of contriverse with how the votes turned out. Many people don't agree with the decisions that the College makes in the elections. In the Artical, "The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong," says, that the electors can be anyone not holding public office. It also states that the presidental candidates can also vote for the electors not just the people and the state. But what is not fair, is that the voters can not always control who the electors vote for. The citizens should be able to vote for the president they want. The man or woman they want to run their country. The people of the United States vote to make this country a better place for everyone. Because they believe their candidate that they vote for will make this country a better place.
Furthermore the Electoral College is the stupides thing I ever heard of and i think we should get rid of it. I agree with the aritcal "The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong," because it says, "that the electoral college says is unfair, outdated, and irrational." "Bob Dole was right: Abolish the electoral college."
People might say that the college might help keep out trouble in the voting but let me tell you something, YOU'RE WRONG!!!!!!! The electoral college is the main reason that this country is such a mess! They vote for the wrong candidates because they want their own way.
In conclusion, the electoral college is the most lamest thing | 2 |
Imagine having a teacher that always helps you because they know how you feel about the class. Well this dream might not be too far away because prefessor Thomas Huang, of the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science at the University of Illinois, and his colleagues have made software that can precisely calculate human emotions. This technology can be especially beneficial to us students because it conveys our exact feelings and emotions to our teachers who can then help us and give us feedback on the material. This new breakthrough in technology could mean massive changes in modern education.
As Dr. Huang coherantly demonstrates, there is no reason to doubt that computers can accurately read your emotions. People say things like "Computers will never know feeling" or "Emotions aren't just ones and zeros" but the facts hold true, this new mathmatically based software is both trustworthy and accurate. This new technology is a game changer because as Dr. Huang says,
"Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication" (Huang) and to students that might be shy or not clear when they talk, this means that they will be heard. This means that nobody is left to figure it out on their own.
As we all know, there are some teachers that are not the best. But with Dr. Huang's new software, every classroom could be at maximum efficiency. Dr. Huang ensures us that "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored" and that this would cause immediate action because it would then "Modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor" (Huang). The time of students suffering through class is over, personalized lesson planning is in.
As you reflect on this article, try to imagine how easy it would be to communicate with your teachers if they could read your emotions. New technology is the future of the classroom and as shown, it can be more than beneficial to both teachers and students when it comes to conveying emotions. Nobody should have to make a big effort to tell someone how they feel, and nobody should be left behind because their teacher can't understand what they are trying to tell them. | 3 |
In this essay I will be writing about an arguement about the face being a natural lanform. I'll give evidence to my essay to support my claim of the arguement. I'll also do an introduction, a body, and a conclusion to my argumentative essay. I'll will do this in order to my arguement for this essay and I'll first start with my arguement of the scientist or person of the Face being created by aliens and then I'll support it with evidence from the article and last I'll ended it with refreshing of what I was talking about in the essay.
I'll tell the person that thinks that the Face being created by aliens by saying that how will the Face be created by aliens if they would make more of those faces. We humans make building and later on make better or different than before and do think they should have made it bigger or different than before because it has been 25 years since that Face has been there and mothing has change from it but only of how we took the picture. The Face from paragraph 5 shows the face and looks like it had a nose, mouth and eyes from the picture. I can support all of this details from telling you that in paragraph that it said that " NASA's Viking 1 spacecraft was circling the planet, snapping photos of possilbe landing sites for its sister ship," the reason I told you this is because if the spacecraft was taking photos of the planet then it could of took a photo of an alien or other more of the Face. They been circling the planet to take the photos in 1976, 1998 and 2001 they done this and they never seen the alien or more Faces.
So I was able to show of what to tell to the person if the any person said if it was created by the aliens. Also I was able to tell what would say and gave evidence to the person from the article. I did the introduction, body and conclusion to the essay and made sure if I put of what to be sure to include in this essay. I also check the checklist of any mistake I'd put on the essay or forgot to put in the essay. That is all of what to put in this essay to make sure I got everything to finish this essay. | 2 |
Imagine constantly coughing. Would you like that? Car ownership is decreasing becasue: of pollution, people use other people who can drive, and the dangers. It is just not needed anymore.
Pollution is everywhere you go. THIS. It goes from China, to Europe, and to America. But what causes it? In Paris they banned driving after having near-record breaking pollution. France blamed it on their people wanting to use diesel fuel instead of gasoline. Cars that run on diesel takes up 67% of France. Paris has the most "smog" compared to the other parts of Europe. IS. After many days without driving any cars, car companies lost revenue, but the "smog" cleared up. A. By limiting the car useage pollution has goen down, making Paris a less of a polluted city. WASTE. (Source 2: Paris bans driving due to smog. by Robert Duffer)
Before you go somewhere do you tend to call a friend to see if you can car-pool? Now in America car pooling has been becoming quite popular. OF. With social media it is easier to contact your friends to see who is going where and when. Driving two separate cars is a waste of gas, time, and money. TIME. So car-pooling is the most efficient. Many Americans have a love with cars from Mercedes, to BMW's Americans are big fans. But are they dying out? Statisics say that the percentage of peopel getting their license is 16 to 39 years old. With the entertainment at home what is the need to transport anywhere. (Source 4: The end of car culture. By: Elisabeth Rosenthal). The need for cars is dying out.
Everytime you get into a car there are dangers. Car accidents happen every single day, and most of them happen where you least expect it... One mile in diameter from your house. (Source: Google) There are also dangers of spending too much money on your car. Many Americans purchase die for cars (Source 4: The End of Car Culture. By: Elisabeth Rosenthal), but can most of them afford it. Lets thing. A Mcdonolds worker who makes $7.50 an hour, purchases a $100,000 Ranger Rover plus the insurance they have to pay every single month. Even though on your way to work people will see that you have a nice car and adore you, but a few months later the outcome will not be pretty. That person will eventually become bankrupt, have to sell their house, and their car, and live in a box for their entire life.(Yahoo news) And no one wants to live in a box. So limiting car use will help. If that Mcdonolds worker never bought a car, and instead purchased a bike he/she would have money to buy food, and keep a roof over their head. Even though people now are fat and lazy it would also decrease the number of obese people in America.
To wrap things up, we should limit the use of cars. From Paris limiting it they decreased pollution, from car-pooling you save money, and from not purchasing a car you will decrease your chances of dying. But the main question is.. Who would actually get rid of their car? | 3 |
The Mona Lisa painting is hard to tell what her emotions are ,but that's why there's science. They can figure out your emotions by looking at your muscles in your face or just by looking at how your eye brows are place or your mouth is placed. They have
computers that can see faces off of paintings emotion. All they have to do is make a 3-D model and make the same frown as Mona Lisa to tell what her emotions are. The students expressions are most likely to be happy and amazed
because a computer can do all of this. The students must want to try this on their emotions to see if it works.
The students must think
the computer does everything , they want to know
their emotions even though they know
their emotions
because they are thinking
about it in their brain. Just like the Mona Lisa painting they said that was her
happy face because she has 83 percent happyness in her emotions. You can have more then one emotion in your
face. They just have to see the muscles in your face and see how they are placed. It is a cool thing that they can do this so if someone can't talk they can check there emotion to see if their sad ,hurt , or happy.
That is really a good thing also doctors can use this to use on a unhealthy person to see how there feeling because not everyone want's to let everyone know their emotion.
They can do this on animals even they would have to do a 3-D model of it. This must of took a lot of scietists to do this because they could get lots of money for this. Science can do alot of things dealing with muscles and body movement. This knows how you are feeling because your movement in your body. The students must think that there is a other man using the technology to this ,but it's the computer.
They have to use the computer to get the 3-D models out then the scientists use their brains to figure where the muscles go.
The last thing is scientists may want to use this on children at school because it is a fun thing for the kids and it can give them more feed back on more emotions and how they look on students faces. That will help them out with maybe more emotions on certain people they can use it on more painting. They used it on the Mona Lisa becasue you can't tell her feeling because she has no movement and she's not smiling in her drawing. The students like this because it is a cool thing to look at and see it's emotion because it's its a drawing ,but with alot of details. | 2 |
A face on mars! NASA found a face on mars that is said to be a natural landform but many think it is alien creation. There are many reasons that shows that claim of it being an alien creation is false for example there have been 3 pictures of the "face" the face looks different in each, it is a lava dome, and there is not a reason for NASA to keep it a secret.
In the article they give 3 pictures to look at and in each one the landform looks a little different because of the new advance technology. For example the picture in 1976 yes it does look like a face but that could be just because of the low camera quality at the time of the picture taken. The picture could've been anything at the time a rock formation is and was the logical explanation for this. For example in the second picture taken in 1998 the landform is a little blurry but easier to see and in this picture it doesnt resemble a face at all it was revealed to be a natural landform. The example shows that NASA confirmed that it is just a natural landform and is not an alien creation. It does not even look like a face in the sharper picture take in 1998. The last example is the picture taken in 2001. Many thought that the picture taken in 1998 was not proving anything because it would have been winter in mars so the picture had to be taken through wispy clouds so they went again in 2001 they went on a cloudless summer day. For example in the passage it says," Malin's team captured an extra ordinary photo using the camera's absoulte maximum resolution." The example shows that NASA took an amazing clear photo revealing that it is just a land form.
In the article there are three different missions. In the first mission they fiqures it was just another common Martian mesa. For example in the text it says," Scientist fiqured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia, only this one had unusual shadows." The example shows that they said that it is just mesa with unusual shadows. The next mission sais that it is indeed a natural landform. For example in the story it says,"Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the orginial viking photos and posted on a JPL web site revealing a natural landform." The example shows that the new cameras showed that it was just a landform but that still wasnt enough evidence to some. The third mission was in 2001. For example in the text it says," a cloudless summer day in Cydonia- Mars Global Surveyor drew close enough for a second look." The example shows that this mission was on a cloudless day so there would be nothing blocking the view of the landform. All three missions they all agreed it was just a natural landform
Why would NASA want to hide it and there is enough evidence that it is just a natural landform There would be no reason to "hide" if aliens were found. For example in the text it says,"Meanwhile, defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization on mars." The example shows that if there was a civilzation they would not keep it a secreat because they could get more money to study it and in the long run more money for discovering it. Another example is in the story it says," As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital 3 times bigger than the pixel size. So, if there were objects in this picture like airplanes ont he ground or Eqyptian-style pryamids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!" The example shows that if there was ancient civilization there they had to live somewhere and we would be able to see their shacks. The last example is in the story it says," What the picture actually shows is the Martian equaivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American West. It reminds me most of the middle butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho." The example shows that it is a butte or mesa and it even looks like the middle butte in the River. There is no way the "face" is anything but rocks.
In conclusion there is no evidence what so ever that the landform is an alien creation. There was though 3 missions that have evidence showing that it is a landform, there were three different pictures,and there was no reason for NASA to hide this dicovery. The "face" is just a natural landform. | 5 |
In the article it states that a " Long time ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth today ." This shows that Venus wasonce probably just like how earth is today . You couldve probably lived there and made a whole new life there . Also the text says " The planet has a surfave of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters." This shows how Venus is just alike to earth and that maybe we should consider exploring Venus more.
The idea in the article that they came up with is that they wanted us to imagine a "vehicle hovering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and out of their way. At thirty-plus miles abover the surface, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level om Earth." This is showing that humans can possibly live on Venus . Its not "eady conditions" to live in but they can. They should explore Venus some more and come up with a idea so people can possibly start a life there. This would benefit a lot of people because what if something really bad happened to earth then people could stay on another planet and we can have Venus as a back up plan if anything goes wrong .
In conclusion, NASA should consider exploring Venus because its would benefit a lot of people. Having another planet to live on would possibly lower the population on earth and would make it easier for everyone. It can also be a "backup planet" incase anything happened to the planet earth and lastly we can see how it is to live different as surive in a different planet . | 2 |
In the article ¨Driverless Cars Are Coming,¨ the author talkes about positive and negative aspects of having diverless cars. Driverless cars can be very dangerous for they can only operate correctly in the right condicions. These smart cars could be putting peoples lives at risk and cause serious problems, and the only way these problems could be truly solved is with a great abundence of money. Aruguments would accure about whos fault it would be if someone were to get into an accident. Driverless Cars need to be highly improved or not put onto the roads, you should always be more safe than sorry.
Therefore, in this article it says, ¨ all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and aroung accidents¨(7). Showing how dangerous these smart cars can really be. If the car can not work properly in the condicions that are all around us, what makes them safe to have on the roads? As the cars keep devoloping the more dangerous they will become to us humans, if smart cars ever get to the point where they truly are driverless it would not be neraly as safe to be out on the roads. This is because these cars are know to have problem with changes in the road and when they notice this change they are programed to alert the human driver. Thinking of that, what if a child were to run out onto the road, how fast can this car really react, or how fast could this smart care alert the human driver? These driverless cars should be concidered hilgly dangerous to humans for they will never have the power to oberate just as a human could.
To futher explain why these cars could only hurt not help human kind, ¨Originally, many futurist believed the key to developing self-driving cars someday was not so much smarter cars as roads¨(3). This idea would help solve many problems that come along with the diverless car, but therfore would cause a great problem of its own. These smart roads would be highly expensive and the only way to pay for them would be the peoples money, and that seems almost impractical. These smart roads used electrical cables and magnets to help guide the car down the road, and with these ideas you would be putting the power into the roads not the cars. And with that these driverless cars would be much saver for everyone. But these roads could never be used for that they would take way too much money to be instaled, saying that driverless cars still remain unsafe.
Overall these cars would also be very hard to get llegalised. ¨Most driving laws focus on keeping drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe, and lawmakers know that safety is best achieved with alert drivers¨(9). Therefore, it is already hard enough to keep the drivers alert and watching the road while they are driving now, could you imagen how hard it would be to keep people alert when they have nothing to do? These laws are there to keep people safe and smart cars are the easy way to go not the safe way. Also, serious arguments would accure that would only cause problems not solve anything. Because what if this car gets into an accident while self-driving, would it be the drivers fault or the manufacture? Could you blame it on the driver and say they should have been more alert or say that the manufacture should have made/programed their cars better? These arguments and cases would be never ending, because almost all humans do not want to be saw as guilty so they would do and say anything to get off the hook. As to say, these smart driverless cars would do a lot more harm than help.
To justify my argument that everyone should be against the development of these driverless cars, just think about if it was you. These cars can not be pradictable and no one can be postive what will really happen. But what if it was you who got hurt or maybe a family memeber, because they let these unsafe and unperdicable cars out onto the roads. You would have no one to blame because it was just a machine or just a accendent. They are never meant to hurt but everyone would rather be safe than sorry. Make the right choice and do whats right to keep people safe, not to make their lives easier. | 4 |
Experiments and new ideas are paving the way for new cultural changes. Cars are emitting more and more pollution every year. Researchers and studies show that by limiting the use of motorized vehicles the harmful gases trapped inside the ozone will eventually diminsh.
In Vauban, Germany they have given up theirs cars. "Street parking, driveways and home garages are generally forbidden in ths experimental new district" says Elisabeth Rosenthal. According to the article, 70 percent of Vauban's families do not even own a car, and 57 percent sold their car just so they could move into this suburban lifestyle.
Paris, France decided to give this experiment a try. After five days France recorded that 60 percent of the capitals congestion went down. This has made more clear skys and easier breathing habits for residents.
The United States is now thinking about trying this new change. Researches say that since the recession not many people are buying cars now a days. They dont have a need for them as much as they did before. Numbers have been going down steadily since 2005. "If this pattern persists-and many sociologists believe it will-it will have beneficial implications for carbon emmsions and the environment" says Elsiabeth Rosenthal.
With this new cultural shift, it could be better for people, industries and most importantly the air we breath! | 1 |
From reading the article, Driverless Cars Are Coming, it is a good idea to have driverless cars. They can really help with the world. It is a great idea to use these new cars because they use less fuel than today's cars, it allows betters response and control than a human, and if there is a problem the car can notify the driver.
Everyday humans use up a lot of gas. The gas that is being use harms the earth and makes it dirty. Using the Driverless car would help the enviorment more in terms of keeping it a clean place to live. In the article it states," The cars he foresees would use half the fuel of today's taxis and offer far more flexibility than a bus." We can save more gas and the enviorment would be cleaner. Everyone wants to live in a clean and healthy enviorment so the driverless car would be a step in the right direction. It will also help with car accidents.
Another way that the smart cars would help out is by causing less accidents. There are far too many car accidents in the world from people who either cannot drive or they dont push the brakes in time. The driverless car controls that. In the article the authors says,"The information from the sensors can cause the car to apply brakes on individual wheels and reduce power from the engine,allowing far better response and control than a human driver could manage alone." If the driverless car could respond faster than a person than we should have the driverless cars. It would cause less accidents and more people would survive. The driver would still be in control of the car though.
Lastly, another reason there should be driverless cars is beacuse even if some of the stuff cannot be done by the car, the person driving it can do something too. For example lets saythe driver is driving in a work or school zone and they have to slow down, they can do that without the car doing it. In the article it says,"They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills,such as navigating through work zones and around accidents."
The driver would not have to let the car do all the work. In some cases the driver is going to have to do something and actually drive. The articles says that the car can run 90% on its own. Therefore the other 10% is the driver. The driver is going to have to stay alert and be ready when problems arise.
The driverless car is a fantastic idea and invention to have. The world needs more cars like them so that the world could be a better and more safe place to drive. Having a driverless car that can use less gas, have better response and control,and notify the driver in case of an emergency is a great car to have. The world could do a lot by having it. | 3 |
Many people thought that the face on Mars was created by aliens. I do not agree with that statement because there is no evidence supporting that theory. However, there is evidence supporting that the face is merely a landform that was created naturally. Throughout the article, it shares ideas from NASA, which is the foundation that discovered the face on Mars in the first place.
The first statement that the article makes about the face being a natural landform is, "New high-resolution images and 3D alimetry from NASA's Mars Global Survey spacecraft reveal the Face on Mars for what it really is: A mesa." This one statement shows that NASA, one of the biggest names in space industry, believes the face is only a mesa. The people back in the Jet Propulsion Lab must have been surprised to see such a startling sight, but luckily NASA provides more information to show that the face is only a simple landform.
The text provides a caption from the message unveiled by NASA. The caption states, "huge rock formation... which resembles a human head... formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." This exact caption says the exact proof that the face is clearly just a rock formation. Every person should already know how shadows can, well, cast shadows that may give illusions of other objects.
Some people that believe in aliens may say that it would be crazy to think that a rock formation and shadows could form the illusion of a face, but I've seen shadows that are casted when the sun hits them just right. Isn't it completely logical that the sun could hit the shadows to fill the holes in the rocks? I sure believe so.
The last quote I would like to give as my evidence is, "As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size, so if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you couold see what they were!" This single statement shows that the cameras they were using to the maximum resolution, would in fact show if there was actually an alien artifact on the planet. But the strongest possible photo showed no ancient alien artifacts. It only showed a natural rock formation with shadows that formed what appeared to be a face. | 3 |
We should not keep the Electoral college because; first, it's unfair, and also, it can quickly turn into a disater.
To begin with, the Electoral college is an unfair system. In
The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong , " Can voters control whom their electors vote for? Not always."[Plumer, p10].When voters vote for the Electoral college the person they put in might not even vote for who the people want for the President. The system is not only unfair when people vote, also when campagins happen in states. In paragraph 13 of
The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong , the author states "Because of the winner-takes-all system... candidates don't spend time in states they have no chance of winning, focusing only on the tight races in the "swing" states.". With this system, we have some states that are left out of the campaign of candidates going through states, because they are not important to the candidate for winning.
In addition, not only is the Electoral college unfair, the system can fail at any given election. Plumer wrote in paragraph 11 "...what if a state sends two slates of electors to congress." the Electoral college is only to have one slate of electors from each state. With two slates from one state it would give both the state and the candidate an advantage over the rest of the states and the other candidate, that would turn into a disater. Not only can the states destory the Electoral college system, the system can destory itself. Included in paragraph 12, " The election is only a few swing voters away from catastrophe.". Even the people put into the college can ruin themselves by one or two electoral voters changing their minds.
Not everything about the Electoral college is bad. The article
In the Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our reasons despised method of choosing the President said, "..it's less likely than a dispute over the popular vote."[Posner, p18]. Even the other vote systems are strongly disliked. The Electoral system is not the most disliked system but it can also get the President everyone wants. In paragraph 19,"... a candidate with regional appeal is unlikely to be a successful president.". A candidate for the president can't focus on one region, because it will make other states feel that they are not important.
Finally, the Electoral college should no longer exist because, it's an unfair system and can quickly turn into a catastrophe. | 3 |
When one thinks of cars, or any vehicle, one may assume a driver is a primary necesity for the operation of such.
Automakers are changing that.
As technology advances, new opprotunity arrives on several fronts.
One of these opportunities is the possibility of a driverless vehicle.
This concept comes with its fair share of hurdles to overcome, however it can be made into something great for both commuters and the environment.
Driverless vehicles have the capability of doing more than simply getting occupants from point A to B.
They can reduce accidents.
Because of the computerization of these vehicles, there can be less margin of error than a human driver may be able to provide.
Autonomous vehicles can also help the environment.
Driving patterns and behaviors affect a vehicle's overall emissions.
Since these vehicles are electronically controlled, they can be pre-programmed with the most efficient methods of driving.
For those who are wary of these new vehicles, there is no need to fear.
Driverless vehicles can be built such that a human can take full control of them when the driver sees fit, or when the vehicle itself is not apt to handle the situation.
These cars can certianly change the way we get around, but it is also evident that driverless vehicles can bring more benefits.
They are capable of reducing accidents and emissions, both of which will help us as a whole.
Autonomous vehicles can also turn control over to humans when necesarry or when convenient.
Car manufacturers such as Tesla, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and Nissan are already in the development stages of such vehicles.
Software designers such as google are working on the computer related aspects of this engineering feat.
It can be concluded that we would all benefit from putting these vehicles on the road, and, for once, taking our hands off of the wheel. | 3 |
Hello my name is Luke, I work for the seagoing cowboys. We have many fun jobs. We travel, play games,and care for animals. we need more recruits so come join us. I will give you a little more information.
We travel to amazing places! We once went to China and I just adored the Panama Canal. We went to Venice, Italy and went on a gondola ride it was beautiful. When we went to Greece, the Acropolis was the grandest thing I have ever saw! So if you like to travel why don't you just travel with the Seagoing Cowboys.
We also play games on the long trips. we play baseball and volleyball in the animals old holding rooms. We also do fencing, table-tennis, reading, and even more fun sports. So if you want to play sports, read, and even more come join the Seagoing Cowboys.
We also care for animals that are being shipped overseas. We care for young cows, horses, mules, and even more animals. We once had a cargo of 335 horses but we had enough hay and oats to feed them and we traveled from New Orleans to Greece. So if you enjoy caring for animals you should join us and help us care for them.
Do these things interest you in any way?
So if you love animals, playing sports, and travel you would be perfect for the Seagoing Cowboys. When I became a Seagoing Cowboy so many new oppertunities opened in my life, so if you want new oppertunities in your life you should sign up and join. | 2 |
Do you like helping animals and taking them to safe places?Well thats what we do,we take the horses, Young Cows, Mule and other animals that were shipped overseas and take care of them. You can be hurt, worn out, tired,and even afraid but it still dosen't mater because think of how afraid the animals are before peple like us helped them out.
Do you want to become a seagoing cowboy? Well I bet your like what's a seagoing cowboy. If you participate to be a
Seagoing Cowboy then you get to explore the world, help others, create memories and get an amazing once in a lifetime oppourtunity.Or you can be like Luke and have a friend convince you or even join with you.
You could be going on vacation but also taking tasks all around the world. For instince say you have to check on the animals every hour, well on your freetime you could be exploring. Being a seagoing Cowboy can be risky but your doing a good deed and at least you tried. In paragraph 7 Luke got hurt but did that stop him from helping? No he jus waited to he was all better and went back at it.
Think about Luke he had two jobs and left to help the UNRRA with Don. Just remember your not choosen to do this you have to have the courage and sign up yourself. Yes , your taking a risk to lose your life, family, and childhood but the animals dont. You have to have patients, time, and love animals. n
Well now that you know what a Seagoing Cowboy is and what we do, maybe you should think about becoming one. It's not really a hard job, its actually entertaining and shocking. If you do sign up and participate you could learn new places and animals. You get to ride the waves, take care of animals, learn new things and meet new people. Think about it and spread the word with your spouse or even family and friends | 2 |
Driveless Cars are Fascinating
Imagine if a car can drive by itself without any assistment from the driver. The car has all the requirements for driving safely. Wouldn't it be nice for the driver to relax while the car drive by itself? It would be, especially when the driver is tired and doesn't feel like driving or any other reason to not want to drive. The driver can relax and take a nap even when traveling from place to place. Driver can talk on the phone, text, take pictures of the roads or other great things. It is state by the law that no one should text while they're driving but driveless cars makes it possible. Therefore, driveless cares being invented and are in the process of developing.
Driveless cars are fascinating. It would be dangerous if the car drive by itself without any attention from the driver. That is why automakes are working for driveless cars to have sensors to alert the drivers when it needs the driver's assistment. Sensors are nothing new, but automakers are developing more sensors everyday and are considering to make autonomous cars. Automakers will make laws for the safety of the driver and to prevent the arguements between the driver's fault and the manufacturer's fault when someone get injured.
Automakers are increasing the amount of sensors everyday to keep the driver safe. "The driveless car can handle driving functions at speeds up to 25 mph, but special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel." The sensors let the driver know when it need assisment of the driver. For example, GM has developed driver's seats that vibrate when the vehicle is in danger of backing into an object. Other options under consideration are flashing lights on the windshield and other heads-up displays. Automakers are even thinking to use cameras to track drivers. "Manufactures are also considering using cameras to watch that drivers are remaining focused on the road."
From the development of cars to driveless cars, there has to be a change of law in order to keep the driver safe. There also has to be a law that state when the driver is at fault and when the manufacturers are at fault when there is an accident. There are laws that limits the number of semi-automous cars in one state. Many of other states are using this law to keep people and the driver safe. Manufaturers believe that many other state will follow this law for safe of all people.
Automakers are doing their best to develop cars to smarter cars. They're also giving their best to change the law of cars as the cars get smarter in the purpose of the driver's safety. Manufacturers are increasing sensors to alert drivers for assisment. Not only the manufacturers are trying to develop the style of cars, they're also changing the laws for safety of the drivers. If all of these are invented, then it is easy to say that driveless cars are interesting. | 3 |
Venus is the twin of earth in earths terms of denzity and size plus its the closest to earth. although earth ,venus and mars all circle faster than he other planets mars being closest gos faster. we at some times are closer to mars and sometimes were closer to venus. humans have sent drone after drone to venus witch is draped in clouds.each drone is unmanned because each time one lands it dosent last but for a couple of hours. the atmosphere that blankets venus is almost 97% carbon dioxide. with is a very poisonis gas to humans. the pressure on the suface is 90 times that of earth and the tempetures can reatch 800 degrees fareheit nothing humans could survive. venus has the hottest surface tempeture of any planet even though
mercury is closer to the sun. freaquently beyond the heat there are erupting volcanoes, very powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes. its all around a dangous place to be. although venus has shown sighns of a atmosphere like earths long ago. Our sister planet could be a possible escape to venus if we can no longer rely on earth to suport us. scientists think that building a structure that hovers 30 miles plus above the surface would work although it is still 170 degrees 30 miles above. Striving to meet a challenge scientists stillneed time to take sample and get more resurch done but think about the future generations and what they myght find that could help humans reach out to other planets. | 1 |
Dear state senator,
I beleive that we should throw out the electoral colledge and not use it anymore. Today it is irrelevant and it does not help out the elections, in fact I think it only causes trouble.
The electoral colledge is the last deciding factor of who acuatlly gets president. How is that a democracy? The people vote for who they want to in the main election and then by popular vote is usually what party gets to send the electors that would vote for them(source 1 ph 5-8). An example of this is the famous 2000 election. That election Al Gore and George Busch were facing off fo the right to hold office. Now Al Gore had won by popular vote, but instead what happened is the electoral colledge voted in favor of Busch instead of Al Gore(posner ph16). So this shows that Gore should have won because he had the most votes by the american people, but then the electoral colledge voted someone else. So why did the people even vote if the person they wanted in office did not even make it in. That is why we should do away with the electoral colledge.
Now if for some reason the majority voted in a really crazy man into office that would completely corupt the government then it would be good too have something else that can change teh vote so that America does not get anymore corrupted. The only problem is how many times would you vote for a crazy person who you know will affect you in a very major way? My guess is not very often.
Now there is some perks but they are really only for the losing president. If the pesident did not win all of the popular vote he could have won a lot more swing states than his opponent which help him better in the electoral election(posner ph20). So there is only one way that the electoral colledge is helpful and it is not even to the American voters. This is why we need a change and to get rid of the electoral colledge.
So in conclusion, I have shared many reasons why the electoral colledge needs to go. I hope that you mull over these ideas and that you bring them to the governments attention.
Sincerely,
A student | 2 |
the author
represents this idea very good since for each problem that venus gives the author gives us a solution a way to overcome it and he presents this idea of life in venus which is what we have searching for a long long tieme .The author suggest that is worthy becaus venus had a major comparason with the earth often this called
the Earth twin , venus despite there conditions has a major chace that there is life on it since there ages ago before it was that corrupted since it had planes mountains and all sort of this meaning it was hopitable ages ago,
also in the closest planet (sometimes because of the planet rotacion making venus sometimes and then mars sometimes) despite the dangers which to be honest there a lot of them like melting also the temperature is dangerous but there can be testing on this planest and we truly got what we need since we got those old computers that can resist the big temperatures and since all the danger can just b hover carefully it would not be a big problem we got verything we need to overcome this problems that venus present us .
over the author ideas is really good and should be done and someone becaus whatever research there is done in venus it bring us a lot of information which can lead us to further explration of venus or other planets like mars. | 1 |
Personsonaly, I think that being able to read students emotion would help in the classroon more for the teacher than the other students. It may show when the student is unhappy, tred, mad, or sad. Believe it or not i think this is huge especially in a classroom.
In the exerpt it says that Mona Lisa is 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. Two minuets ago i would have never guessed that, but it's a good thing to know that. If it were to be a student, to knwo that he/she is maybe angry is very helpful in that it shows that we cant push them or tell them to do something the same way we normally would. We need to descelate the situation and make this person more on the happy side before we do anything else.
Yes it is a little odd to think that a humans facial structure can be generated on on a comuter, but at the same time it was only amatter of time before this would happen. in fact, this happens all the time for movies and video games. The face has 44 muscles and the computers generatin of the face must have the same exact 44 muscles in it in order to read and produce a human like analyzation of a face.
Weather what we have right now is that acurate, i'm not sure, but what i do know is that it is impresive.
People like Dr. Huang relie on the work of a psychologist like Dr. Paul Eckman who is the creator of FACS which stands for Facial Action Coding System. The exerpt says that Eckman has descovered the following emotions due to the muscle movements. Happy, sad, angry, disgust, fear, and sadness. The example given in the text is the frontal pars lateralis muscle or above your eyes rise when you are suprised.
Overall i do believe that this would be helpfull to read a students emotion to show how to aproach him or her and to show what to say and how to say it. Everything is dependent on how you say things nowadays. If you say one thing wrong that person may go off on you or may take it really well you just never know, but if that person is angry then you may want to aproach that person with care instead of just going at them full speed. | 2 |
People think about today's world as the era of technology; constantly advancing and creating new ideas beneficial to us all. But are they really benefiting all of us? That's where the car comes in. Automobiles are one of the highest polluting machines out there. People are constantly worrying about greenhouse gas emissions while they use their cars consistently. Now, when us stubborn Americans try to imagine a life without cars, we immediately oppose the idea. But can you blame us? Society has been built upon the idea of cars since World War II. Cities are so widely spread out that the mear thought of walking or biking to the nearest shopping mall makes you appreciate your car even more. It could take a matter of time before any civilization modernizes into a car-free society.
But people must realize what the real matter here is; less driving equals a healthier planet. Think all of how much less pollution would be around if people did not use their cars so religiously. Our earth is sacred. If we continue to destroy it with fossil fuels and car exhaust, there will not be anything left for generations to come.
Not only would the environment improve drastically, but people would also save money from not having to buy gas! If you pay $3.50 for a gallon of gas, that can add up extremely quick. Imagine all the alternatives you could use that money for instead of gas. Why pay for oil when you can simply ride a bike for free? Biking and walking rather than driving is much healthier for your physical state as well. Altogether, people will be much happier and at a better state of mind with cars banished from every day life.
As you see in cities such as Seattle, Washington for example; hardly anyone owns a car. The people have revolutionized into using the trains. The subways create less smog, more efficient car pooling, and will still get you to your destination in a blink of an eye. Seattle is a booming city, teaming with life. If that is not proof of sufficient life without cars, then I do not know what is.
Humans' lives revolve around automobiles. Just think about your average day. I can gurantee you spend a good amount of time driving hastily around town trying to get to your many destinations. This can be stressful. As stated in one of the articles above, a media trainer and mother of two who resides in Vauban, Germany, a car-free city, said, "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Nobody wants to spend their evenings in their car while they could be spending quality time with their family, but that seems to be the way everyone lives nowadays.
A car-free world is the ideal society us as people should strive for. There are extinential benefits to life without automobiles and many downfalls to life with automobiles. If people can all stand together on the idea of a better way of life, then why not try it? | 3 |
Are you looking for a job that gose oversaes? Then I have the job for you! You should come join me in the Seagoing Cowboys progam. We go over seas to all kinds of countries. Here is some information you might need before you decide to join.
This isn't one of those jobs you hate and want to get over with and go home. It is really fun and a lot of responsibility. Something that is really cool and I love to do, is go sight seeing when we drop of the animals. Since we go a lot of places to give animals away, there is a lot of things to see. That is something that is always fun, if you love going to foreign countries to see things. Like the time I went Crete and and explored an excavated castle.
You are always on a boat, so you can't be scared of boats or the water and you can't be a person who gets sea sick a lot. That's not the only thing you have to mind, though. Because we are taking animals overseas, there is alot of animals to take care of, like 335 horses, plus we have to have enough hay and oats to feed them. It can be a stinky, dirty job, too. You don't really have to be good with animals, though. You just have be good at remembering and giving them food and water up to three times a day. But it would also help if you were good with them, so then you wouldn't scare them. If you are strong then great! We would need you to carry a lot of bahles of hay and bags of oats onto the boat.
Just think, sailing all around the world! You can see places and go to places that you've always wanted to go. If you're thinking like, oh! They don't need me. They've already got enough hands on board!, then you better think again. We can always use a new person to help us. | 3 |
Emotions and facial expressions can sometimes be difficult and complicated to understand. Everyone has emotions and facial expressions and you cant always detect another persons emotions and feelings. In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" by Nick D'Alto the author describes a new technology, FACS (Facial Action Coding System) is a technology that allows you to detect how other are feeling and improves accuracy in perceiving the emotions of other. A computer constucts a 3-D computer model of a face and there are "action units" which are one or muscles moving, the action unit is the associated with 6 different basic emotions and it lets you see the emotions going on from just detecting the moving muscles on the face. I believe that this new form of technology is valuable when it comes to reading the emotional expressions of students.
FACS could be the start of a lot more important and beneficial technology in the future. This new technology could be either very valueable or not valueable at all. I believe it will end up being very valuable in the future because it will help computers understand emotions and will help students and there education. Some students hide there emotions and thoughts on the way they are being taught even when it isnt beneficial and helpful for them. Everyone can have different preferences on how they are taught and FACS could let the computer know how the student feels about it, ""a classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," Dr. Huang predicts. "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor"" stated Dr. Huang which helps understand that the way the lesson is being taught can be changed by the computers because it can read the emotions of the students and will change the lesson in the prefernence of the students which allows them to benefit more. I believe that everyone being able to learn in their prefernce of learning is the most beneficial and valuable thing FACS can do. FACS will be valuebale all over the world because of its capability of reading human emotions, being able to do that is a very important thing because then the coputer can change the things you see and do in your preference.
I believe that FACS will be a valueable use of tecnology to read students emotions. A computer being able to read emotions will be a beneficial and positive thing in society and will help students succeed in there classrooms. Students being able to have there lesson taught differently in there prefernce will help students feel more confident and heppier when learning. The outcome of computers having emotions
will most likely be a great value in society in the end. The enabling of computers to identify human emotions will change be a beneficial thing. | 3 |
After the unmasking of thepictures of the face on Mars many people had their own opinions on what created the face and why it was there. Personally I believe the face was not created by aliens and that there was not an ancient civilization on Mars. In the prompt they explained there were shadows that made the mesa in the ground look like it has a nose,eyes, and a mouth.
but there is more evidence like on april 5,1998 the mars global surveyor caught a picure of the "face" that was ten times sharper than the picture in 1976 which had no alien monument in the picture. Then on april 8, 2001 which was a cloudless day on Mars the global surveyor caught a photo using the cameras maximum resolution. Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters which is better comapred to 43 meters per pixel in the 1976 photo.The picture shows is the martian equivalent of a mesa or butte which is a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the face on Mars" said garvin. but their were still no signs of airplanes or eyptian style pyramids or small shacks. So their is no evidance at all that their were aliens or even civilizations on Mars. | 1 |
The Electoral College process involves the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors the votes for VP and the President, and the couting of electoral votes by Congress. In my opinion, I think its only fair to change the election by popular vote for the presdident of the United States. I say that because its OUR president not just the 538 voters president. Also, if we go by the majority of the votes, thats not fair to the president either. what if it just so happened that they picked a lot more people who dont want him to be out president and they just took there verdict from there?
Changing the election by popular vote would be a lot more fair to the presient and to the people. I say that because, you cant tell what every body wants just by 538 votes and with the majority of 270 electoral votes. Like I said before, what if you just so happend to pick a lot more people who dislike the "new" president, but their were actually a lot more people who liked him?
To Conclude, changing te election by popular vote for the president would be a lot more fair instead of having an Electoral College vote. Popular vote will let everyone have a say in the President and not just 538 people. Its also just as fair for the President as it is to us because it gives the president more votes to count on and not just 270. | 1 |
I think they should because the electoral college is a process not a place. The founding father established it in the constitition as the compromise between election of the President by a popular vote. The electoral college cobsists of 538 electors. A majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the president. Your state's entitles allotment of electors equals the number of members in its congressional delegation: one for each memeber in the house of representatives plus two for your senators. Each candiate running for president in your state has hin or her own group of electors. The Electors are generally chosen by the candidate's political party, but state laws vary on how how the electors are selected and what their responsibilities are.
The presidential election is held every four years on the tuesday after the first monday in november. You help choose your state's electors when you vote for President because when you vote for your candidate you actually voting for your candidate's electors. After the presidential election, your governor prepares a "Certifacte of Ascertainent" lsiting all of the candidates who ran for president in your state along with the names of their respective electors. The Certificate of Ascertainment also declares the winning presidential candidate in your state and shows which electors will represent your state at the meeting of the electors in december of the election year. Your state's certificates of acertainments are sent to the congres and the national archives as part of the official records of the presential election.
Under the electoral college system, voters not for the president, but for a state of electors, who in turn elect the president. if you lived in texas, for example, and and wanted to vote for john kerry, you'd vote for a slate of democatic electors pledged to kerry. On the off-chance that those electors won the statewide election, they would go to congress and kerry would get 34 electoral votes. Who are the electors? They can anyone not holding public office it depends on the state. That is how it works this is my reason. | 0 |
My opinion on this whold driverless car deal is that it's not a terrible idea. I just don't see to much to offer besides a car that is just a waste of time on the road for everyone else. They have to test the car to be better and I understand that it's just that maybe we're not ready for cars like this so soon. As time goes on humans are more dependant on technology and we can't do that forever sometimes it's good for us to not rely on it so much. With cars we drive ourselves around and are alwayed focused on the road and what's around us at all times we become more alert in a way. Now with self driving cars we sort of loose that awareness of being alert all the time while on the road.
This idea is another great idea to keep the crash records down but it doesn't change the fact that humans almost everyday depend on everything to do something for us no matter how simple it is. Humans are getting lazier and lazier by every new invetion that is being produced. Sometimes it's bad sometimes it's good but in this case it's kind of a bad thing because it's another thing that a "thing" can do for us.
Untill they can find a way that this will truly work I will be against it. | 1 |
State senator,
Unfortunately we may not always please everyones needs because that is impossible, but it is a smart decision to maintain the U.S. president election style. Electoral College is not as time consuming as a popular vote, most of the time the outcome of the electoral vote is certain.
Keeping the Electoral College in order to elect our president every 4 years is certainly the best idea. You see an electoral vote is technically a voice for the people of the state depending on the population of the state. Many states are large in size meaning that opinions, beliefs, and needs are not all the same. That's where the Electoral College comes in, they voice the votes. Majority rules most of the time, now it may not be what some people want but if it is what most want then I believe its fair.
Only the 2000 election was disputed over. Al Gore had more popular votes than Bush yet Bush was elected to presidency because of the Electoral College. Even though this election was disputed it has only been one out of 50 elections. If our presidents were picked directly by the people (popular vote) there would be a dispute because of needs and what the people want. Not only that but peoples favoritism would show. Even though the Electoral College vote depends upon many peoples vote towards one president it is smarter.
Last but not least elections as it is already are time consuming, can you imagine if instead of looking at those "4" electoral votes we had to look at each persons vote per state. Instead of knowing within a year or a couple months we'd know by the time the presidents term is up. Americans don't have the patience to wait all that time, "Time equals money." Electoral votes are much quicker and the certainty of the outcome of what you as a civilian want living in a certain state is very likely.
Therefore Electoral College should be kept instead of Popular vote, because it is time consuming, it is good for big states, and it is less likely of a dispute. Even though this method is not liked by all it is the smartest and most efficient. | 2 |
There are many advantages and many disadvantages of limiting car usage. Car usage may not be entirely good or bad but we do it anyways. In "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars" by Elisabeth Rosenthal it speaks of how in Germany life continues to stay without cars being around. In "Paris band driving due to smog" by Robert Duffer he speaks of how paris has limits on not to drive during the smog because it can cause damage and can crucially effect many people in Paris themselves. In "Car-free day is spining into a big hit in Bogota" by Andrew Selsky, he speaks of Columbia rules and regualations and car information. These passages provide valid information of how the car expectation rules and regulations in areas succeed.
When you hear Germany you think of a place where everyone doesn't want to be, but were not hear to talk about that. In Vauban Germany street parking, driveway parking and home garages are generally forbidden in this new distrcit on the outskirts of Freiburg. In fact, 70% of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57% sold a car to move there in the first place. Automobiles are the linchpin of surburbs,or middle-class families from Chicago to Shanghai tend to make their homes, which is a huge impediment to current efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes. There has been efforts in the past two decades to make cities denser and better for walking because there is only 5,500 residents within a rectangular mile in Vauban. Overall they are trying to improve the growth of Vauban vehicles to run normally.
Paris the place we know as a symbol of the eiffel tower is great of course but not when there is smog around. Paris enforced a partial diving ban to clear the air of the global city. Almost a good 4,000 drivers and motorists were fined because they were caught driving in the smog so they were fined with a 22-euro or $31 dollar fine for doing so. As time ticked in Paris, cold nights and warm subtle days caused the warm layer of air to trap car emissions so they're was no point in driving anyways. No worries because Paris typically has more smog than other European capitals. A few days later the smog cleared up and people were able to drive without being ticketed or givin a fine, everything went back to normal and were no troubles.
Ever think of having a day where nobdy was allowed to use a car that day? In Bogota Columbia there is a "program" where nobody is allowed to use a car but they can hike, walk, skate, take buses but not use a car in any form. It was the third straight year in Bogota where cars were banned from the streets but only buses were permitted for good transportation. They do this because they want to try and stop pollution because they think there is to much pollution in the air (which their is) so they can help prevent it early on in so the air wouldn't be bad air. As a small effect of not doing this 'program' gray clouds dumped heavily amounts of rain showers on Bogota. This is a good leading cause to society and air pollution because parks and sport centers have been hit on the market as top rated because people chose to choose the safe route and do themselves a better duty.
Overall these rules and regulations between the areas is a very good help for our Earth and keeps it safe. The more people that not use cars and drive on smog days will lessen the amount of air pollution in our air. There has been many campaigns to whether or not to keep this system running in some parts of the world and many representatives do take this in to consideration and learn. Soon we hope for a vast majority of the world to be taking these world problem in a more mature manner and save many people that will born in the bear future to have less air pollution hurting innocent people. | 1 |
Venus is one of our good neighbors. Spacecrafts have landed on Mars and researched it, but Venus is our next destination. It's been 30 years since any Earth-based object has on Venus and we got to go back again. Despite the dangers of going to this planet, we should send spaceships and astronauts to Venus because it is highly possibale that there is plenty of oceans and can support life forms from Earth.
Sending astronauts and spacecrafts to Venus is good idea because it's possible that there is oceans and other relations to Earth. In the article, the text states, "[...] Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth. Today, Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth. The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters". Mountain Ranges, oceans, oxygen, and other landforms on Venus are close relations to Earth.
It will be very dangerous and expensive to get to Venus, but it's worth a try. This explains why Venus is the next destination because there is so many things on Earth that are possibly on Venus. | 1 |
Join the UNRRA Seagoing Cowboys
Did you know that many European countries are in ruins from the catastrophic World War 2? What are we doing,what are we doing this for, and why should you join are the most asked questions. By the end of this you will want to join myself along witht he rest of the crew.
We are helping the people who's homes and lives were destroyed. We help in recovering their food supplies, animals, and much more. We also try to relocate them to an area where they can thrive. Somewhere they can live in peace with the war ended.
We all do this for the good of the country and the innocent people who were wrongly invovled in the war. We are trying to help the ones who can't help themsevles. So ,with our help, they can sleep in their own beds instead of on the ground where your house used to be. Imagine you were in their place with no idea what you were going to do. Without knowing where your next meal was coming from, or even worse, your children's meals,
You should join us and help the many people in need. You would see the happy faces of many for helping them in this time of extreme need. You would be saving people and children all across Europe. You would be venturing and be able to sight see. See the places you dreamed of. Seeing the sparkle in people eyes is enough to make your heart nearly glow. You will give them a home and even inspiration to help humanity.
In conclusion, you should join us in our little adventure helping humanity. You have learned what are we doing, what are we doing this for, and why should you join. I think everyone would be suprised if you turned down this great oppurtunity.But hopefully, in the future, there will be no need of groups like these becuse mankind will cease to continue to have wars and catastrophes like this one. | 2 |
As i read the article " Driverless Cars Are Coming " i think its would be a great idea for future. As a driver myself driving may sleepyness if driving for a long time so i best believe that " Driverless Cars " are a great a idea for some of us drivers on the road. For examples in paragraph 2 its said " In reality , Google has had cars that could drive independently under specific conditions since 2009. Their cars have driven more than half million miles without a crash.
That was a good way of saying about driverless cars. But they not really driverless cars in one of the paragraphs its said " Google cars aren't truly driverless; they still alert the driver to take over when pulling in and out of driveways or dealing with complicated traffic issues, such as navigating through roadwork or accidents." Now that really telling me there i can't trust the computer to take over and drive for me. I best off driving the car myself if the computer can't handle stuff like backing out or in , or
parking the car. | 0 |
Statement: ["A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming bored," Dr. Huang predicts. "Then it could modify the lesson,"]
Response:
The ability to read students' emotions is not valuable in the least.
Teaching lessons should be mainstreamed for a general audience, allowing formalleability and flexibility.
Sometimes it's not even the lesson causing a student's disinterest or boredom.
And many childeren can have vastly different emotions based on not only being in school but about their day in general which have no application in the real world.
School curriculums are fine tuned to be the best tool for teacher and student, they allow for order and organization.
Allowing a computer to alter that, even slightly, can have devastating effects.
One computer doing so may not be an issue, but, allowing for every student's computer is another question entirely.
What is that question?
It is this: Could we still maintain order throughout that?
One little bug, one little glitch and a student could be so off track that his or her school wouldn't know what to do.
Keep the schools on track and organized.
Sometimes it isn't a lesson causing disinterest or confusion in a student.
Let's set up a hypothetical.
Joseph heard a dog barking outside, he tells his friends, they did not hear it.
Joseph is confused as to why they did not hear it.
Joseph's computer perceives Joseph's confusion as confusion towards his lesson and alters it accordingly only to confuse Joseph more as to why his lessons were changed.
It start a cycle that loops in on itself again and again.
Joseph understood his lessons and was now thrown wildly off track.
Proving that a computer making a decision based off of Joseph's emotions alone was massively ineffective.
Many students have vastly different opinions on learning and have many different emotions when going to school.
A computer sees the emotions but not the reasoning, whereas a human being can ask said student to understand him/her.
A computer cannot make sound judgement on a students emotions without knowing the reasoning behind such things.
It can perceive a students anger and relay it to the teacher but now the teacher must confront the student about why he is angry.
The student who is already upset will not want this interaction that the computer forced upon the two.
All in all people need to be left alone to allow for them to learn how to handle their emotions, and furthermore they deserve the privacy of having said emotions to themselves.
In conclusion, information on a student's emotions is
not valuable in the least, and allowing a computer to make judgement off of said emotions is ineffective and much too risky.
Teaching students should be mainstream and not alterred to fit the student's emotional state.
As with the case with Joseph, a computer would not understand that Joseph is not confused with his lesson and then cause more confusion instead of aiding it.
And finally, students have too vast of emotions for one computer program to accurately interpret and furthermore human beings deserve the privact of their own emotions. | 3 |
In this passage there is a debate on a 'human faced rock formation"
whether it's a natural landform or a alien artifact. Many believed alien markings were hidden by haze. While others believed it was a natural landform based on evidence. Scientists have alot of evidence that the human face rock is just a landform. "As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image three times bigger than the pixel size" meaning if there was any type of alien life form on Mars then the digital images would show some type of evidence of it.
Instead, scientists just keep finding evidence and taking pictures that points everything about the human faced rock back to a natural landform.
The Face on Mars is loacted 41 degrees North martian latitiude where it was winter in April '98, a cloudy time of the year on the Red Planet. In regards to that the picture actually shows the Martain equivalent of a butte or mesa. Trying to convince someone to believe what scientists say i wold bring out alot of information about the human faced rock showing it's just a landform by telling that person scientists figured it was just a martain mesa, common around
Cydonia. Many say the Face is bona fide evidence of life on Mars.
With many saying NASA would rather hide conspiracy theories, defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization. Althougth few scientists believed the face was an alien artifact photographing cydonia became a priority for NASA when Mars Global Surveyor arrived on the Red planet. While eveyone was waiting for a picture of the face and it was revealed it showe no alien monument after all. Mission controllers prepared to look again "it's not easy to target cydonia" saif Garvin. In conclusion all evidence scientists are collecting about this human faced rock all comes out to be just a natural landform. | 2 |
In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author suggests that studying Venus is a worhty pursuit despite the dangers it presents by explaining to the reader about how dangerous it is and how man kind hasn't been able to explor it using spacerafts to land on Venus. In the text in paragraph two it explains that "Humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped worls...each mission was unmanned...no spacecraft survived the landing for than a few hours."this eplains that exploring venus is a dangerous missin that man kind will do anything it takes to be able to explore it.
The author supports his idea of exploring venus by giving reasons on why it is good to explore it and by giving reasons on how hard it is to explore venus without good use of technology and understandment on the planet,in paragraph two the author explains on how no spacecraft has survived on venus for more then a few hours, on paragraph four the author explains that "if our sister planet is inhospitable...why do scientists discuss further visits to its surface...Astronomers are fascinated by venus because it once have been the most earth like planet in our sloar system." this is an explination on that exploring venus is dangerous but it may help us learn more about if there was another earth before us.
In the text the author claims that venus could have been a earth-like planet of the solar system long ago reaserchers or scientists and astronomers are fascinated by venus and wanting to explore venus do to the fact that it seems there was human life in venus long ago, in paragraph four the author explains that "Long ago, venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life." this is and example of what scientists would like to explore about venus to discover or learn that it could be possible that venus was once earth before ours.
Throughout the whole article the author explains and gives many reasons on why exploring venus is a good idea on the fact that we could learn from it, The author also states on how venus is dangerous to explore because we dont have the right technology to be save enough to land on it. even though venus is every dangerous to go to and explore with the right technology we could learn things we have not discovered about our planet, exploring a planet that could have been like ours a long time ago could give us many more things to learn about and discover. | 3 |
Hook: The study of stars and planets is part of the NASA and some universities.
Counter claim: Some people at the collage study advance astronomy so they could work on the NASA and evoid any problems.
Thesis: Many plantes in the cosmos have different characteristics than the Earth.
The advantage of studying Venus is important, just like the other planets in the solar system, so the NASA can send drons to explore Venus or Mars.
Unlike the atmosphere of earth, Venus is most percent of temperature and carbon dioxide, it states "A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent of carbon dioxide blankets Venus."
Studying this kinds of things help to those that look for stars planet to see the differences of Venus and Earth. It's not just the atmosphere, is also for example, the temperature. Carbon dioxide is more higher than the earth's and more plants here.
one problem is that the NASA sends humans to study the all about venus just to see the hostiles conditions of the planet, considerating that there were none of them. Venus was almost like the Earth, but now is all rock and dusty with some risk there, it claims, "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various form of life, just like Earth."
studying the astronomy like venus, it also show the history of other planets and how were they before. The men who travel to Venus leran about the challenges and risk because of the ground's condition, the temperature, atmosphere, anything. A most safe way is that people learn astronomy before travel to Venus. And those who retuned have make reseasch about the planet to study more.
To the finish this, the author is right aboth the study of Venus, so the men could not be in danger out there on the planet. The challenges on venus are more than human being could ever live and learned and survey. | 0 |
The use of technology to read emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable, it can detect the emotions of someone trying to hide their emotions, it can detect how you or someone else feels, and computers can find out if you like, hate, or confused about something.
If you smile when a web add apears on the screen of a computer a similar add will appear, but if you frown a different add could apear.
In a real smile the zygomatic major lift the corners of your mouth, but in fake smiles the mouth is streched sideways using the zygomatic major and the risorius.
It uses muscular action units to indicate the difference between a genuine smile and a forced smile.
With Facial Action Coding Systems people can see genuine or forced facial expressions, feeling of people with just their facial expression, and could allow computers to find out what you like or dislike. | 1 |
Global warming is a huge concern, and most of the blame is on cars. In
Paris bans driving due to smog"
by Robert Duffer, Andrew Selsky's
Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota , and Elizebeth Rosenthal's
In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars and
The End of Car Culture;
they explain everything happens in areas where they suspend car usage, regulate it, ban it and seeing trends of areas where they just do not care about cars. Limiting the use of vechicles can have a emormous benefitcal impact.
One reason for a minial car usage, is that people tend to get stressed with cars in order to do errands or go to work. Following with Rosenthal's article, she mentions a media trainer with two childern named Heidrun. The mother states "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." In Vauban, many people move there with having sold a car; that particular area has 30% of families using cars. Many people want to worry less about having to errands. It is much easier to have things closer to you instead of having to go far. Continuing the essay with Selsky's article, in Bogota, Colombia; they have a car free day where everyone avoid using cars. Selsky quotes a businessman where he says " It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." In this particular day, he has a day to experience no stress and having the positive mind of knowing that this benefits the environment as well as himself. Therefore, limting the usage of cars relives stress even for a day.
Another reason is pollution, this is a huge problem around the world and many are trying to find solutions to less the effects of global warming. In Duffer's article, Paris takes a huge step in reliving their smog problem. They have banned cars, not exactly, they are regulating them by having odd number license plates go one day then evens on another. This limits the use of cars for people, in which later in the article it relieves the smog so they also relive the ban. But in other areas, people do not seem to have an interest in cars like America. Many of America's young people are not really interested in cars. Rosenthal explains how it would have many positive effects, " If the pattern persists- and many sociologists belive it will- it will have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the environment, since transportation is the second largest source of America's emissions, just behind power plants. Thus, having less people use cars can be a solution to pollution.
In conclusion, benefits to limiting cars use is less stress due to not having a car and lessing the effects of pollution. All this is a major impact leading into a better world. | 3 |
This could be a big problem because humans can't always realie on the technology, because what if there comes to a point where the car doesn't alert the driver on time and the driver cause an accident. Than that would be the problem of the car and to the person who made it. Just if this keeps happening then this is a problem that the manufacture has to solve on how to make it actually work. Otherwise they could be in big problems. Another point could be the electric car goes off limts and gets pull over becaue the guy didn't know it was going that speed, because the driver is going to have confidence on the car and not himself.
This is a problem where humans can't control technology. There is a lot of bad things out there in technology where people can't figure out how to stop it. People build there own creation and not knowing how to stop it either. How are these makers are sure that the car will alert the driver on time. What if there car company that make
these electric cars doesn't work and keeps causing accidents who is there to blame the driver or the electric car that didn't alert the driver in time. Its diffently going to be the electirc car and also going to blame the person who sold the car and where it came from.
If now days people reliae on technology and find everything from technology and not finding it themselves; than that means that the driver in that car is going to feel soo comfortable riding because he is going to realiae more on the car and not pay attention on the road. The driver is going to feel like the car is going to do everything for him. Thats the problem we have with humanity is that we realiea on the technology and not on ourselves. That why i think that having these cars could cause trouble and could also lead to injuries or even death. | 1 |
Imagine a planet where there has been no known life, then flying over it and seeing a face staring back at you. That is what NASA's Viking 1 spacecraft saw when it was circling the planet Mars. Few think that the face was created by alien life. The face on Mars is a natural landform.
The face on Mars is not an alien monument. On April 5, 1998 a better picture was taken of Cydonia, the picture was ten times sharper than the original picture. The picture revliled that it was just a natural landform. That is was not an alien monument.
Scientists at NASA compare Cydonia to natural landforms on Earth. The chief scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program comared the face to the Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho, a lava dome that takes teh form of a isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars.
Not everyone believes that the Face on Mars is a natural landform. Some conspiracy theorists claim that is is bona fide evidence of life on Mars. They also say that NASA is trying to hide that there is life on Mars, but defenders of teh NASA budget wish there was an acient civilization on Mars. Theorists belives that the face is a alien monument. The older photos make the Face look like the head of a Pharaoh, bu the clearer pictures form 1998 show that it is just a rock formation.
For some it may be hard to believe that teh Face on Mars is just a natural landformation. The more recent pictures prove that Cydonia is a rock formation. The Face on Mars is just a natural landform like the landforms on Earth. | 2 |
There would be many reasons why driverless cars would be better. For example, the cars can us there radar and other features ,such as the Google car to stay in the right lane. Also, these cars can stop themselves when you may not be able to.
Driverless cars would increase the saftey of humans in many ways. For example, a person can be driving and start to drift form one lane to the next. The car could turn itself back into the lane and make a noice to alert the driver that he or she is drifting in and out of his or her lane. By the car having this ablity; it could safe the lives off many.
Driverless cars could reduce the number of colitions. The driverless cars have sensors that can detect when your car is coming to close to anthor car or object and could stop itself posible saving lives.
Driverless cars would be the solution to decrease the amouts of crash each year. Driverless cars will be the future as said in the article because they can react faster and better than humans. | 1 |
Do you think mars actually have a face on it? Funny right? Well jsut listen to what i have to tell you. NASA'S Viking camara got a glimps of a face on mars they think alines made it. Crazy right?
But here in the passage it states "a huge rock formation ...which resembles a human head,eyes,nose,and mouth.They thought it would attract attition to mars but oh boy it did ! But i think the rock formation is just the way the land forms because i see weird formations of things all the time they're just thinking of it the wrong way i belive.I agree that land formats can be the most convincing because your never going to know what you'll see. However i think that this is just an must understandment of photos. NASA has to research and discover such a thing or land format i strongly believe that this is just the land formation the way the rock is shaped and structured. In the passege is says that landforms are common around the american west so the landfromation NASA said that they aliens made was actually land formations because were there most common its going to happen often.In paragraph 7 it states "There was no alien mounment after all.". In my Conclusion i'll present to you that after all the alien monument was actually land formations because there most commen in the west. It could be some alien's work but not quite yet is there time. The land formations can create some of the most beautiful work. I Strongly agree with NASA that there were no alien monument at all because why would an alien come to mars to build a giant face like sculpture just to get attiton on mars. Kinda funny right ? Okay so now do belive that mars does not have a face on it ? | 1 |
Venus, sometimes called the "Evening Star", is one of the brightest points of light in the night sky. In our solar system, Venus is the second planet from our sun. While Venus is simple to see from the distant but safe vantage point of Earth.
Venus is the closest planet in distance too. Earth ,Venus and Mars, our other planetary neighbor, orbit the sun at different speeds. These differences in speed mean that sometimes we are closer to Mars and other times to Venus.
A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet.
If our sister planet is so inhospitable, why are scientists even discussing further visits to its surface? Astronomers are fascinated by Venuis because iy may well once have been the most
Earth-like planet in our solar system. Today, Venus stil has some features that are analogous to those on Earth.
However, peering at venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions because most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere, rendering standard forms of photography and videography ineffective.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is working on other approaches to studying Venus. Some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions. Another project is looking back to an old tecnology called mechanical computers.
Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation.
In conclusion The National Aeronatics and Space Administration (NASA)
want to send humas to study Venus, but their jet airplane in a hot temperature would be burn, But
they are gliding a form to travel safely to Venus. | 1 |
"All of our development since World War II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change." (David Goldberg). Automobiles have been a major impact on today's technology. The creation of the car was a huge turning point in history. Even though this machine has been such an amazing creation, it still causes a lot of damage in society. Cars affect both the environment and humans. The limit of car usage would be great because then the amount of pollution would decrease, less traffic would occur, and it makes way for alternative transportation opportunities.
In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency is promoting "car reduced" communities. The reduction of cars can lead to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. According to Elisabeth Rosenthal, cities are choking due to the increase number of emissions. Paris had hit near-record pollution which lead to an enforced ban of partial driving to clear the air of the global city. Acoording to Robert Duffer, Paris typically has more smog than other European capital. In Bogota, Colombia there is a day called Day Without Cars, there they only let buses and taxis drive around and their goal is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. If anybody goes against this, they would have to pay $25. "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution," said businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza. This day became really big in Colombia and improved their cities' overall look.
Furthermore, the limitation of car usage would decrease the amount of traffic. Traffic is an on-going issue in everyday life. People arrive late to work or school or wherever they need to go due to traffic or an accident. During the Day Without Cars in Colombia, millions of Colombians hiked, biked, skated, or took buses, leaving the city devoid of traffic jams. Traffic jams are usually stressful so if that gets reduced with the limitation of car usage, then stress levels get reduced as well, causing mentally healthier people. Traffic jams also occur due to accidents. Car accidents are one of the many reasons why people end up in hospitals, get sued, get hurt, or loose money. With the limitation of car usage, all these issues will be resolved.
Moreover, new alternative transportation vehicles can come into play with the reduction on car usage. There is a plan where they want suburbs to play a much larger role in a new six-year federal transportation bill to be approved. Also, during the Day Without Cars, the goal is to promote alternative transportation. Lately, new transportation vehicles have been discovered and created. Some include, a flying car, an elevated train that gets you from point A to point B in seconds, and new hybrid cars. Technology keeps progressing every single day. Today people may be driving their normal SUVs but by tomorrow, they could be drivng the new high-speed flying Ferrari. People are always keeping in mind while creating these machines about how it will affect the community and the consumers. Since it is obvious that the environment isn't as healthy as it was before, they must make sure that these machines limit pollution and emissions that affect the world negatively.
Overall, the limit of car usage would be a good thing. As time goes on people may not even need cars anymore to move from place to place. If everyone works together to solve these issues then the world would become a much better place. The final goal is to get rid of all the bad emissions and issues and just stick to what is best for the environment. When the environment is healthy, the humans are healthy. | 3 |
I am going to tell you why you should be a seagoing cowboy. It is really esay, it's fun, and you have to be brave. I will tell you why it is all of those things.
It is really easy. What you have to do is get on a boat go to where the tell you to go. Then get the herd on the boat.
Last you take it to where it goses. Then do it all over agin. Plus I did 9 of then.
It was really fun. You get alot of free time on the boat when you are going to get the cadle. On the way back you have to make sure that the cadle dosenet jump overboard. Plus you get to see alot of things.
You have t be really brave. If are not brave then you wodent be abole to get on the boat. You have to be brave and keep the cadle onboard. You have to be far away from your freinds and family. You have to be brave and ride on a boat all the away around the world. lastly the boat might crash.
Those are just some things about being a seagoing cowboy. That is why you should be a seagoing cowboy. Maby one day you can be like my. | 2 |
First, he talk about the venus whihc is reffering to as " evening star " and how danger it is to earth in the present. he said that venus is a planet, in our solar system Venus is the second planet of our sun, he also think that it is a channelging place to examine more closely. Venus is referred to as Earth twin, and because Venus is the closet planet to earth in terms of density and size and in distance too. Humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped world. WHihc mean everyone who go there not a single one survive. It is a very Channelging planet for human to study and it is provimity to us. It is a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Over the planet surface it the temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit and it 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet.
Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most earth-like okanet in our solar system. The planet has a surface of rocky sedment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters. NASA are thinking about sending a human to study in Venus. Temperature will still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to the sea level on Earth. Solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth levels. NOt easy condifitons, but survivable for humes. The researcher can't take a sample rock, gas or anything else, from the distance. so they need to get up close and personal despite the risk or they try to think that as a challlenges/ Many researcher are working on innovations that would allow the machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus.
NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus. Another project is looking back to an old technology called Mechanical COmputers. These devices were first envisioned in the 1800s and played an important role in 1930s during WWII. Modern computers are enormously powerful, flexible, and quick, but tend to be mroe delicate when it come to extreme physical conditions.
Striving to meet the challenge presented by VEnus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many eqyally intimidating endeavors. Our travels on Earth and beyond shold not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovations. | 0 |
In "The Challenge Of Exploring Venus" the author suggest that studying venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents . Some key datails to support the authors claim are that the planets conditions are not survivable for humans to live on despite how earth like it is compared to any other planets in our solar system . " On the planet's surfave, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet" this shows how dangerous it would be to live on this planet and how hard it would be to try to land and get information of anything scientist could study .
"The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains,and craters. Furthermore, recall that Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit, a crucial consideration given the long time frames of space travel " this shows how earth - like venus is despite how dangerous it is , and the authors claim of studying Venus despite the dangers it presents suggest that the author believes it would be good to gather information about the planet for scientist to study despite the bad conditions so maybe we can make and figure out better technologies to maybe habit this planet in the future .
The challenge of exploring venus is the bad conditions of weather and how it is nothing like our planet and right now at the time , it is not possible to survive in those conditions . Venus is the closing thing to our earth in apperance atleast in our solar system , and if scientist get infomation from landing despite the conditions , we might one day figure out a way to habit the planet in the future . | 1 |
The development of driverless cars is something new. People do not really know how to feel about it. Some people love the idea. Others, not so much. People are convinced that technology is a waste of time and cannot make our lives easier. What they don't realize is, these cars are actually pretty helpful.
Driverless cars are made to know that something bad is going to happen on the road before you do. They are designed to alert you when they see something you cannot. Some driverless cars can even stop themselves before you even get a chance to put our foot on the break. Driverless cars are designed to keep people safe and make our lives easier.
Driverless cars can greatly help decrese the amount of accidents that happen. There are accidents everyday. Some are even fatal. With these driverless cars and the advanced technology they have, can you imagine how much the number of accidents would decrese? These cars are designed to keep you safe on the road. Yes, these cars still need human direction on some things, but they are still able to keep you safe and worry free when drving.
Driverless cars have already been made in some places. They have been manufactured and driven by people who think that the idea of driverless cars is a good one. These cars have been tested countless times just to make sure that everything runs smoothly. Driverless cars aren't for everybody though. And that is ok. Some people just don't like the idea of having a car do everything for them.
If you do happen to have a driverless car or are planning to get one, don't think that you don't have to drive anymore. Yes, these cars will do a lot of things for you that you can do yourself, but they are not going to drive you to wotk everyday. They still need human guidance. These cars are desgined to watch the driver as the driver watches the road. So what that means is that, while your changing the radio station or looking for something in your backseat, the car will automatically alert you if anything unsafe is on the road.
These cars are pretty amazing if you ask me. But don't get me wrong, they aren't flawless. Technology is something that we learn more about everyday. So the more we know about technology, the more we know how to fix anything wrong that has happened. Especially in cars. | 3 |
In all honesty, if it were up to me, I would keep the Electoral College. Because imagaine what a catastrophe it would be if we did not have the Electoral College, how would they count the votes. Anybodyvoted on who you wanted to win it go can cheat the number of votes to change the president they are voting for. With the Electoral College you can't do that because, once you voted who you want to win, it get sent out tothe electors. Who from that point on count how many voted for both of them and decide a winner.
Now it is possible for somebody to secretly change the names that way but it is a higher stake, or risk to take not having the Electoral College. Also, it is possible for worker of the Electoral College to make a mistake in countung the counting the votes and to cause a big confussion in the votes but that is very highly impossible, if not impossible.
If you lived in Texas, for instance, and wanted to vote for John Kerry, you'd vote for a slate of 34 Democratic electors pledged to Kerry. On the off-chance that those electors won the statewide election, they would go to Congress and Kerry would get 34 electoral votes. Who are the electors? They can be anyone not holding public office. Who picks the electors in the first place?
The Electoral College is a widely regarded as an anachrosim, a non-democratic method of selecting a president that ought to be overruledbydeclaring the candidate who receives the most popular vote the winner. Not only that, but a disputeover the outcome of an Elecotral College voteis possible-it happened in 2000-but it is less likely than a dispute over the popular vote.
Their are five reasons to retain, or keep the Electoral College. First, it's a certainty of outcome, the winner is everybodys president, it swings states, not only does ig work for little states, but for big ones too, and you can avoid run-off elections.
So those are my reasons why we should keep the Electoral College, we should not overlook the goods that the Electoral College does to our nation just because of two little bad that can be repaired. | 1 |
Hey want to join the seagoing cowboys program.It will change your life a boy from this town right here has already graduated.His name is Luke Bomberger.World war 2 has just ended.So its safe seas.And its a giant adventure.Actually it is more than a adventure.
You will be drafted into the military service.If you have ever been on a cattle boat trip this is the most perfect job.You will help people and get to see China and Europe.It will take about two weeks to cross the atlantic Ocean.You have to be on your feet though because those animals need fed 3 times a day.And the stalls need to be cleaned every day.
hopefully you do hard work on your farm every day because it gets rough sometimes in this program.Try not to get the night watchmen job because thats a dangerous job.Thats what Luke bomberger had.If you get hurt in any way you will actually have fun ecxept the pain.There is baseball,volleyball,table-tennis tournaments,fencing,boxing,reading,widdling and games also help pass the time.
but it is more than a adventure it opens up the world to you.You'll be graetfull for the oppurtunity.It will make you more aware of the other people in thier countries and thier needs. | 2 |
A driveless car how cool would that be? I bileve we should have Driveless Cars in the future. I say this because the car is not that dangerous in my oppion. The Driveless cars wil keep you alert, lets you take control at important times, and also gives you signals when it is most important.
The car will not put you in any danger because it has the ability to keep you alert. It has sensors as said in the text "special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel." if a car was realy so dangerous it would not let you know to keep you're hands on the whell at all times. I beieve it does that so if anything goes wrong you can quickly drive the car if needed.
Further more the car signals you when you need to drive at important times. The car is able to do many things and will tell you to do the most important "They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zines and around accidents." The is making sure you are safe at all time and letting you drive when it is most needed.
Lastly these Driveless Cars are smart enough to signal you so that you are never in accident. The fast actions are great in many ways "the car being ready to quickly get the driver's attetion whenever a problem occurs." it also has "developed driver's seats that vibrate when the vehcile is in danger of backing into and object." this driveless car " announces when the drivers should be prepared to take over." This car is completely safe enough to let you know wehenever something imopratnt is coming uup.
The Driveless Cars are not fully driveless you still have to take cointrol at most times. So the car is still letting you be safe and put you're life in you're own hands at times. | 2 |
One of the greatest means of transportation is the use of cars, especially in big cities such as Paris and suburban cities such as Scarsdale, New York. However, what is this doing to our atmosphere? Stress from driving is a serious hazard and sould not be taken lightly. In the past decade pollution has as risen tremendously. Limiting the use of cars can advange many for health reasons and for the planet.
With all of the traveling and comontion comes the problem of stress. In the excerpt from "The End of Car Culture" by Elisabeth Rosenthal it is stated that many people have not even bothered to get their driver's licenses because it is easier to use public transportation or walk. Cellphone apps for car-pooling is also more of an option for people instead of the stress of driving themselves. Millions of people in Colombia participated in a "car-free day" in which they "hiked, biked, skated or took the buses to work" in the article "Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota" by Andrew Selsky. With this program traffic jams were likewise avoided in the captial city.
A major problem is the greenhouse effect on our planet, especially in big cities such as Paris and New York City. As stated in the article, "Paris bans driving due to smog" by Robert Duffer, after record high pollution in Paris, the city banned driving to deduce the amount of smog that had been ecumaliated over a five day period. During this time, congestion went down 60 percent. Similarly, the Big Apple, New York City, has started a program were people can share bikes to get around instead of using cars and taxis (Rosenthal). In Europe, 12 percent of greenhouse gases | 2 |
The face on Mars was probably formed naturaly just like many Earth monuments. The eyes,mouth,and nose of the face was probably an illusion created by the shadows of the bumps.
the face on mars soon became an icon. it starred in movies,books,radios,and even radio talk shows. Some say that the face haunted grocy check out lines for 25 years. some people say that the face on mars is evidence for life on mars i dont think so I think its just a natural formation of rocks.
Only a little bit of the scientists beileved that the "face on mars" was an alein artifact. after eighteen long years after the vikings mission had ended they stated to not beileve that alein life exists.
to conclude this essay i would say that there are many diffrent ways people could geuss on how the face of mars truly got there i would say that it was all natural and even scientists beleive that it was a natural formation. | 1 |
Should driverless cars be aprroved and save the comm unity from drunk drivers and
non experienced driver go around and kill everyone in sight? Could these driverless cars be the new aspect of the future and economic/community change?
There are multiple companies that are trying to come up with the next big thing, that is absolutely "necessary" in the American life of any life that you can afford to buy this new car. "Google cofounder Sergey Brin can. He envisions a future with a public transportation system where fleets of driverless cars from a public-transport taxi system. The cars he foresees would use half the fuel of today's taxis and offer far more flexibility than a bus." (Paragraph 1) This quote brings up three different points; flexibility, ephechiancy, and the eviroment. To were the quote brings up the fact that these driverless cars can reduce the prices on fuel because wouldn't be as high as averr times. But, from it using less fuel withh help save animals and the earth's ecosytem.
The new driverless cars would be a introduction to a new world through technology not only benefiting the ecosystem, and economy. But, improving travleler not getting lost, by the car having the most options of GPS and tracking of r that person and their car. This would come in handy especially if they use the same technology as Berkeley has been using. "Engineers at Berkeley tried something similar, but they used magnets with alternating polarity. The car read the posotive and negative polarity as messages in binary code. These smart-road systems worked surprisingly well, but they required massive upgrades to exisiting roads, something that was simply too expensive to be practical." (paragraph 3)
The driverless car would be an improvement in society economically, eco friendly, and GPS wise. First,economically by the amounts of money the U.S. could save by not having to have so many people waisting money on fuel. Second, eco-frienldy, but not using as much fuel as a normal car would which could reduce pollution. Last, but not least GPS friendly the car has motors that are able to tell you which road you're on by positive or negative polarity as messages through binary code. So the driverless car would just be an imporvemenet in general for the generation and the generations after and before us. | 3 |
In the world that we live in today, every individuals opinoin matters. When you are voting, you want to be sure that you have a stand for what our voting for. The only way to effectivly do this, is to get rid of the electoral collage. The electoral collage is not nessacary because they just over ride the peoples votes in thier own way when the president has hired them to represent him.
According to Bradford Plumer in paragraph 10,he states "Under the electoral collage system voters vote not for the president, but for the state of electors, who in turn elect the president." In this here we see that the citizens dont have much of of a say, but even if some say that this is not true, It would be very minimal when it come to how much of a diference it would make. it just goes to show how much the electoral collage is not needed.
Just because of this, thing can get very confusing when it comes to voting. As bradford plumer states in paragraph 10 as well,"Can voters control whom thier electors vote for? not always. Do voters sometimes get confused about the electors and vote for the wrong canidate? sometimes." in this we can tell the conusion that the electoral collage may cause and once again, how it effects our vote for the canidate.
The electoral collage is difficult to be considered nessacary. not only because it may make voting a little difficult, but for the more important reason, we hve no say in what we vote. As citizens we should be able to have our voince heard. It is very important to select who will be your leader. this is why the electoral collage is not nessacary. | 2 |
Hello fellow drivers, you have probably already heard about how driving less could make the air polution from being so bad. Well its true it is a fact that has finial got the research to prove that it would help the greenhouse emmsions from being so bad.
In Vauban Germany residents of an upper class community have done away with ninety precent of car driving, having only two places to park on the outskirts of the community. This has proven that by elimatating most car useage it makes people happier and less stressed out and helps provent the poplution that is cause by cars. "I'm much happier this way", said Hiedrun Walter a resident off this lavish community.
When you hear the word Smug what are your first reactions? It is this nasty poluted air that has trapped car emissions leaving a blaket of greyish air this is caused by "cold nights and warm days. It is not good at all. when this happened in paris they banned cars from driving on certian days. "If you have a lisense plate with an even number then you are not aloud to drive on mondays, Or if it is odd numbers then you are not aloud to drive on tuesday". Until the smug has gone away.
In Bogota, Colombia a peogram that has been going around made its deput there for the first time. The program bans all use of cars excludeing taxis and buses, " millions of columbians could have been saw walking or biking or hiking all around columbia". They also got to other cities to join in and participate in this event.
In the past few years in america the car driving avrage driving rate has droppped back to the rate it was in 1995 this is a complete shocker they believe we have hit the peak of driveing and it is dweendling very rapidally. Tis they believe was because of the recession and that people are just not as intrested in getting there lisense like they once where. "the number of miles driven in the united staes peaked in 2005 and dropped steadily there after"
In all this i hope you decide to make the right desision and choces to save the planet. | 1 |
The author of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" is able to suggest and back up their claim of Venus being a worthy pursuit despite it's dangers by stating facts showing how science and technology will help us in the pursuit of exploring to Venus. They gets us concerned by stating the perrils of exploring venus. Then they state why the audience should be interested in exploring Venus, and proceeds to counter the perrils by stating technological advancements being made to lessen the extreme environment on Venus.
The author shows the perrils by first stating the dangers and compare them to intense atmospheres on Earth, such as how the ground temperature on Venus is over 800 degrees fahrenheit and would instantly melt most metals. Another example that he gives would be when they states that the gravitational pull of Venus would crush a submarine that was meant to explore the deepest depths of the ocean at Earth. One more example of this would be when says that staying above it is still a danger because of how hot and unbearable it would be. Those are the situations that he has listed.
After saying all the dangers of exploring Venus the author decides to mention why scientists are still attempting to explore the dangerous planet. An example would be that Venus is very much like Earth. In the article the author mentions Venus and Earth having many of the same features, such as mountains and valleys as well as evidence showing Venus possibly containing water and oceans. Another thing the author tells us is that the planets orbit at different times, so at times Earth may be closest to Venus, and other times we are closer to Mars. Those are all reasons why scientists wish to explore Venus further.
The author, after having told us the conditions and reasons to explore Mars goes further. The author then states technological advancements being made to help survive the conditions on Venus to obtain samples and such. An example the author gives us would be mentioning A device that would lessen the conditions on Venus to make it at least tolerable. Another example would be creating a lab that would create the same atmosphere as venus so scientists could create machines capable of surviving the harsh environment. Those are all examples stated in the text.
After stating the perils, the motivations, and the advancements towards Venus, the author is able to canvey their message in a clear and concise way. The evidence used to back up their claims are able to show how important Venus is to Scientists and mankind alike. Venus should be further explored despite have harsh conditions because it's the closest thing to Earth. There are also technological advancements being made to adapt to Venus in order to possibly inhabit Venus. | 3 |
There are many reason why Electrol College should not be kept, but it is the right thing if we change it to election by popular vote. This Reason why I pick this is because us people want the right leader to leads us on a good path thats why we are citizens our job is to vote to them.
The electrol college is not the best option because the electrol college doesn't give everyone an oppurtunity to select who they want as there leader, In article three where it says "Everyone's President" the author states that "No region (South,Northeast, etc.) has enough electrol votes to elect a president." This mean that most of the states in the south do not get the chance to vote for a presiden and this increases Romney chances of wining, and what if the candidate that wins with only regional appeal is unlikely to be a successful president? The citizens of the United States will feel as if they aren't apart of this country, not giving the rights or freedom this country promised them. The citizens will feel like their votes do not count, when they have there opinion on something the new president will have no interest towards it, this means to us that he isn't really a president. In article last paragragh the author states "people who think that a single vote may decide an elcetion."In the past plenty of ties had happened before they handled this by the election would be thrown to the House of Representative.
Election by popular vote is fair in both ways they give the people a chances to pick who they want and who will make a difference to our country. Its not fair if we vote and if we don't have enough electrol college our votes don't count in our region, that takes away what we been living in this country for. In the past they agreed on abloshing the electrol college also the article states that "over 60 percent of voters would perfer a direct election to the kind we have now." As citizens it's important to listen to what we have to say cause we are the people who make up this country. They don't want election by popular vote cause they are afraid that a tie will happen because an election usually stops around 538 but it is highly unlikey to happen, it only happened twice in history for election by popular vote in 1968 by Richard Nixon and 1992 by Bill Clinton.
There are many reason why Electrol College should not be kept, but it is the right thing if we change it to election by popular vote. This Reason why I pick this is because us people want the right leader to leads us on a good path thats why we are citizens our job is to vote for them. | 2 |
The author supports his idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers that it presents very well. He gives many examples on why we should continue to try an study Venus. Many include ways that humans can study Venus, and ways that we can electronicaly study Venus. The author also describes the conditions that the surface of Venus has including the air pressure and the temperature of avrage over 800 degrees Farenheit.
The author of The Challenge of Exploring Venus states many resons why we should contiue to studyVenus. One reason is he describes a possible solution for humans to get a closer look at the planet. In paragraph 5 the text states "NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray". Another reason is they are making devices that could possibly help scientists study Venus. Also in paragraph 7 the article states " NASA is working on other approches to studying Venus. For example some simplified electronics made of silicone carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions".
In this article the author gives many reasons as to why we should move forward with studying Venus. He makes it clear that we can invent a way to get humans a closer look at the planet. He states that we can make a way for humans to explore the planet without being harmed. All of these are good resons that support his idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers that it presents. | 1 |
There are so many reasons why people don't want to participate in the Seagoing Cowboy program. Maby because they think that they might fail at it or maby they just planly don't want to participate. Well I think you should. You get to visite many amazing places. You also actualy are helping others. And if you do paticipate you get to go an advture and just by participating it might open up the world to you and learn new things.
You can visite many paces. In the text it said that Luke went to Europe and China. In the text it Luke Siad "Seeing the Acropolis in Greece was special," and that show that he had a good time and saw some thing new. He also explaind "Takeing the godola ride in Venice, Italy," and aviasly that ment he had a lot of fun. In the text it also said that "Luke Bomberger crossed the Atlantic Ocean 16 times and the pacifice Ocean twice to help in the Wars. In the text it said that when they were on the boat and theydid what they were to do witch that is rair scince they have to take care of the animals they find some thing fun to do so they don't get board. One of the games that they played was volleyball. They made that balls out of stuff they found around the boat. In the text it siad "Hepls pass the time.
I think from reading this people should participate it the Seagoing Cowboy program. I think it would an amazing epereance to gome thing you didn't know you had an iterest in and find that you did. I would love to do the program. I want to see new places that i have never seen and at the same time I am helping others at the same time. Maby people think it is an opertunity just to see other places but that is only a fraction on what all this is realy about. I just have one question for you. Would you participate in the program. | 2 |
The new invention of driveless cars have been advancing and progressing. Slowly starting to be more frequently progessing in the 21st century. Some in small ways and others in bigger ways. But with progession there are also lead to negative aspects of driveless cars. Switching to driveless cars would result in illegal situations and controvoursy with other states, multiple manufacturing errors, and cause more accidents than a regular car.
The first way driveless cars would cause negatively is with other states limiting if driveles cars were even allowed or prohibited. For example, in the excerpt it states, "As a result, in most states it is illegal even to test computer-driven cars; California, Nevada, Flordia, and District of Columbia have led the country in allowing limited use of semi-autonomous cars." So if most states prohibit to test computer-driven cars what would make the state to even allow them driven. Allowing the cars to be driven would breaking a law they made and state makers woud have to make a whole new law regarding the old one. This would have a lot of people upset not only in just that state but around that state and prohibiting tourists to visit their state.
Another way how driveless cars would negatively impact is having multiple manufacturing errors during the process of making driveless cars. As technology advances there are lots of errors that can occur during the process which can cost even more money to fix. For example the author states this in the the eighth paragraph, "Some manufactures hope to do that bringing in-car entertainment and information sysytems that use heads-up displays." Even though having an entertaining system in your car would be nice the price to fix in cause of an issue with it not working can cost alot more. Errors happening in the car as well can have you frustrated and make your bank broke.
The final and last reason we should be able to have driveless cars are because of the causing of more accidents. "They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents." Sure this is what the car can do but there is also a possibilty the driver will not be alerted in time. Say an accident has just occured right in front of yourself in just a matter of thirty seconds and your car does not notify yourslef fast enough because it literally just happen. Now the sitiuation a person might question is the car isn't smart enough because it couldn't identify the accident in only a matter of thirty seconds.
In conclusion, driveless cars should not become more popular of our society today because of the negative aspects of them. The first reason is because of the allowing and prohibiting of states that would and wouldn't and the laws regarding to the driveless cars. Second reason is because of the multiple manufacturing errors that would occur frequently and the cost to repair it. Fianlly, the issue of the causing of accidents due to the alert of notifing the driver not quick enough. Driveless cars would not benifit society they could potentially destroy it. | 3 |
My belives of the "Driveless Cars" are very negative. First of all how
are these cars? How much money will be needed to make and buy these cars? Who will buy them? The most important question is "What benifets do we get out of these cars?
First of just how safe are these cars? As stated in paragraph 9 "Most driving laws focus on keeping drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe, and lawmakers know that safety is best achieved with alert drivers." That means that these cars must be 100% safe for indiveduals to drive. Another thing to keep in mind is that whos are people to blame if the technology fail? In this case the we wouldn't know who is to blame in case of a jury. Court problems could be dificult to solve do to this case.
Another negative side to these Driveless Cars is that how much money will it take for these companies to make. How much money is the government going to use in a car that could fail it's dutties when the goverenment could use that money for better things like army supplies, Global Warming, or even on Chareties. All that money could be used for many good and reasonable items. That is another great point in why we cant make these unreasonable cars.
Now lets say these cars won't fale. How many people are going to be able to buy them? We cant just make a lot of driveless cars if not many people are
going to be able to afford them. Most of all they need to funktion well and be affordable. But my most important
question is what do these cars benefit to us? Are they going to bring us safe home? Will they take care of young adults while being in them alone? We have the right
to know all of these questions before they even come out.
In the end those are all my belives in why these cars are a bad idea from these manufacturer. We do not need failing technology out in our human driven roads. Our cars are fine the way they are driven by humans and not by some failing computer driven technology! It will be another reason in why humanity will end. | 2 |
Is a computer that can read your emotions vakuable in the classrom? I think yes as a student we get bored and also confused while on the compiter and have the technology that could help provent that would change the world.All students would be able to be help instead of being confused.
In the passage it says if a classroom computer could recognize that a student is haveing trouble or is getting bored that the computer could change the lession to make it fun or easier to understand.We students need to have this technology it would help in the classroom. Some teachers can not teach everyone the same way so it can become hard and a major hassle. So with the technology the teacher could have
the students get on the computer and then the computer could help make the subject easier.
Now yes their would be some problems with the new technology it could help some kids and hurt others. Some kids can not learn from a computer it hurts thier eyes they can't stay focused. So then the teachers could focus on them more and get them the help that they need. This also isn't the only thing that kids would do but it would cut class times down. With cutting class times down teachers could teach the students real life situations. We need to learn how to write checks, pay taxes, and many other things to get us prepared for the real world. Computers cant teach us how to do those things.
In the artical it says the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of your face what is someone was to get hurtor didnt have all of their face could they use the same technology or would it just not work for them.
The ads would make being on the computer better because we see ads that we dont care about if they get ads that we like their are more possibilities that we will buy from that ad.There are ads that have nothing to do with me and i see them and I just think that nobody should buy this product ,but when i see something that I like or that peaks my intrest I want to see more of it find out what it is how to do or get it.
So in conclussion I think that we should have computers that recognize emotion, I think that they should work out some of the kinks in it. Like what if someone doesnt have a full face or if someone doesnt show emoition. | 2 |
In the eyes of many people, traveling by cars is the easiest to go by. But is it the easiest to live with? The fumes that the vehicles we ride in give off and make smog and other breathable things thats not really well for us to breathe in. The fumes that the cars give off and if we breathe in, its like the effects a cigarette, it could damage your lungs. If we citizens limit of how much we use a car, wonder how much it would do. This could help the economy if we spend at least a day out the year recognizing the importance of not using a car as much.
You see, we should spend a day like the citizens in Bogota, Colombia in the article
Car- Free Day is Spinning Into a Big Hit in Bogota.
The people over there spent the day riding bikes, skated, hiked and so much more. Of course, the taxi and the bus was still running in case anybody needed a ride. Even though it was raining, it didn't stop them. "The rain hasn't stopped people from participating," said their Mayor Antanas Mockas. If anyone was spotted driving, though, they would haved been fined $25. But that wasn't the only country who banned cars. In the story
Paris Bans Driving Due to Smog , it mentioned that almost 4,000 drivers were fined because they were driving and cars have banned due to increased smog. On a Monday, drivers with even - numbered license plates were demanded to leave the vehicles at home. If they didn't, they were fined $31. The same thing would apply to the odd - numbered plates the next day. Congestion in Paris went down to 60%.
Also, there are cities who ban cars in general. In the story
In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars , it tells about the citizens who live there and continue life without cars. Street parking and garages are forbidden in Vauban, Germany and the people who wants to live have to go "car - free". Of the families who live in the experimental suburbs, 70% families do not own cars; while 57% of the families sold a car to move there. Heidrum Walter, a media trainer and a mother of two recalled that when she had a car, she stayed tense. Now, she is much happier this way.
As a result, cars is a result of our health today. When we go pump gas at the gas station and others would turn there vehicles on right behind you, you're breathing in the fumes of gas. You may think of it otherwise or of it harmless, but it is. It could damage you for good by messing with your lungs and making it hard for youto breathe. So, think about taking out a day and not use the car and go walk or ride a bike to a friends house or to the grocery store. There is more than one way to do anything. But yes, sometimes a car is needed for long - distance traveling. But we don't have to use it just to go check the mailbox and back. This could help the way some people maybreathe in this world. Don't you think? | 2 |
Is it a good idea to have driverless cars? For me I don't think we should have driverless cars. For one it will be more dangerous. Second you will have less knowledge of cars when you think the car just drives by itself. Last you won't remember what to do and you'll panick when danger comes. That's why I think we shouldn't have driverless cars.
First, I think having driverless cars are really dangerous. One reason I think of that because you will not pay attention and you think that technology will take over. Technology isn't always the best source to trust. You can never trust technology because there will always be an error and the car will not work properly and the manufacture will be in alot of trouble for all the harm that has happen.
Second, you will have less knowledge with your vechile, when you think the car can do it all by theirselves. You will get to the point of being lazy and not worrying when danger comes because you won't worry about getting into danger when the car knows what to do. You will always rely on the vechile to do things for you and won't care what happens and you'll just blame it on the vechile and say it wasn't your fault even though it was part of your fault.
Last, you won't remember anything you learned and you will lack knowledge. When that comes you'll panick and be confuse when you don't know something. When danger comes you won't know what to do and you will panick and get into an accident. Most drivers won't care about safety because they will think its a driverless car that they don't need to know anyhting it will do eveything for them.
That's why I think we shouldn't have driverless cars. For one it will be more dangerous. Second you will have less knowledge of cars when you think the car just drives by itself. Last you wont remember what to do and you'll panick when danger comes. Do you really think we should have driverless cars? | 2 |
The use of this technology to read the emotional expresstions of students in a classroom, is not a very possible idea. The factial program is great, and it could help out in may type of things and or other jobs, but it's probably just as it could help, at the same time it wouldn't do much help at all.
The use of this new technology would do a good, in certain kind of jobs. Such as in a police department, it could be used when interogating suspects. As to having this technology used in school in a classroom a stated in the text "A classroom computer could recognize
when a student is becoming confused or bored...THen it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." Yes it could help the student understand but it could so accidently ruin a lesson for the student. I'll explain what I mean by using a senario.
Picture a student in class and this facial action coding system is in the class as well, a lesson is being taught and the students understand with the exception of a couple that are lost and or confused about the lesson. The FACS (Facial Caton Coding System) helps out those students by explaining the lesson in a why the students understand but, there's another student that's frusterated but not about the lesson. The student undestands that lesson, but the reason he's frusterated is about something else, possibly something personal. The FACS will detect the boy's frustrations thinking it's about the lesson, comes to help the student but just frustrates him even more. If it was a regualr human teacher, the teacher would was if the student understood the lesson, as the student tell the teacher that he did the teacher then would ask "What's wrong" and if not. At least the teacher would know that it's something else and nothing to do with the lesson being taught.
"In fact we humans perform this same impressive "calculation" everyday." This quote in the beginning of paraghaph five is telling us that, we as humans can do the same task as a computer. What we don't do that the FACS can its detect every single emotion that a person shows as stated in the first paragraph, " 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry". We as human don't measure emotions being showed by percentage like the FACS, we only see the emotion that mostsly being shown. And that's good! If in a classroom while looking at students we see their main emotions, the emotions that stands out the most and not worry about the other emotions that aren't as noticable. It's not that the other emotions are less impartant, it's nothing like that. It's just that the main emotions come first and slowly make our way to the other emotions,"One step at a
time" let's make it one emotion at a time.
A computer, or machine can be better than human depending on the situation. But one thing is for sure, a machine can, and will not be better than a human on detecting emotions. Us having emotions and being able to detects other human emotions is what makes is human. Being able to detect other's emotions and have sympathy, helping other and understanding human emotions is something a machine can't do. | 3 |
In the article " Driveless cars are coming," the author presents both positiive and negative aspects of driveless cars. The article is about a smart car that could drive itself. Many of the aspects are unaware and may need human assistance at some time. Even if the cars where fully aware, many states would need an aware, and
focused driver on the wheel at all time. These cars should be made, but only for people who have restrictions on driving such as blindness or
people who are autistic.
Drivless cars are only currently made to be used with help from a human driver. The car would be able to drive itself but the drive would need his hand on the wheel at all times to do sensor in the wheel that could tell when there hands where taken off. "The car can handle driving functions...but special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel" Another reason the cars are only need help from humans is because they can not drive through workzones and would need help. This would be necessary when roads and bridges are damaged and need repair. This can happen often and would need an alert driver who is able to correctly move the vehicle in a legal way.The car is also able to announce when it needs human help. "They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skill."
If cars where able laws would still have to be changed. Laws require that there is an alert driver always in a vehicle, in this case it is illegal to test computer driven cars . A few states are leading the nation in the development od self driving cars, these states include California, Navada, Florida, and also the Distric of Columbia.Manufacturers believe as soon as the cares are proven safe, more states will follow. But, there is still on question to be asked if there is an accident due to the failing of technology who would be held responsible. I believe that the manufactorer would be held responsible.There would be reason that it is not there falt, but the falt would mostly be his.
Drivless cars are not copletely drivless yet. They still have hand sesors requiring a driver.There are also stale laws requiring an aware drive at all time. This is why i believe iuf there was to be a copletely drivless car it should not be sold to everyone, but only those who can prove they have have driving issues. | 3 |
Car's? everyone has one right? or at least knows someone that has one. Do you ever think if car's are bad for the world? When i was younger i always wanted to have a car. Do my own thing and go where ever i wanted. Then growing up i heard all the bad things about them. How they hurt are environment. How the creat so much smog. They harm us everyday. That's why i think we should limit the car usage.
limited are car usage right like how will beable to do what we have to. They might say i'm crazy for not wanting people to drive car's but in actuality i'm just trying to help and make the world a better place for the kids of the next generation. In a article i read "paris bans driving due to smog" "by robert duffer" He tells all about how car's were making so much smog that on monday paris enforced a partial ban to clear there air of the global city. That everyone had to leave there car at home or get a ticket of 31 dollars. Almost 4000 drivers were fined and twenty seven had there car impounded.
Even in other places like germay it's ether a car or house. Everyone would take the house thats somewhere to lay your head every night were your kids make memories that you will forever cherish. Car's there isnt know really point to them but just to drive and get somehwere. You can take a bike or even walk while at the same time helping the world and helping your self. I'm not saying stop using car's there so bad you will die if you use a car no. I'm just saying use your car when you really need to.
If something is close by you just have a nice walk and enjoy the air the beauty of being outside. If your going somewhere far? take a bus it might cost a dollar or two but just think about it. You dont have to drive your not using your car and your saving the world little by liite. Even encourage your friend's and family memeber's to do what your doing. maybe by 2040 we would have a whole new world.
We would be feeling better, breathing better. There is a endless possibilites to how better we could be. Have you ever thought about being a supr hero? or helping people? for one you can stop using your car so much. Then you would be everyone super hero, even mine. | 2 |
Why do you think Don Reist want Luke Bomberger to join the Seagoing Cowboys program ? Well , i think he wants him to join the Seagoing cowboys program because he probably really like it , and want his friend to join .
One reason i think Luke joined because like he say , he think it would be an opportunity of a lifetime . in the passage it states UNRRA hires seagoing cowboys to take care of horses , young cows , and mules that were shipped overseas , Luke and Don signed up . The passage also states in August 1945 , they recieved their orders to report to New Orleans . They arrived August 14 which was the day pacific war ended .
Another reason i think Luke wanted to join , because his friend was their and he wanted to be with his friend , and do what he are doing now . The passage states when Luke's draft board learned that he was on a cattle boat , they told him to just keep doing that for his service . The passage also states Luke turned 18 before arriving in greece , which meant he could be drafted in military service .
The whole thing to the paragraphs and all the supporting details is that Don wanted Luke to be like him and asked him to sign up so they could be with eachother . They wanted to have good opportunities with eachother t, they wanted to grow up and become something just from being stated in the seagoing cowboy program . Like they say in the story at 18 before arriving in Greece you could be drafted in military . That right there means they wanted to be something like a star that everyone wants to meat or be important or be famous , because lots of times it gets boring sitting around all the time . They said " hey lets get up and go sign up for something to become something together since we are close friends . " | 1 |
How do you see life with driverless cars? Safe or unsafe? In my opinion I chose unsafe. I am against driverless cars for these reasons. In paragraph 9, lawmakers even say that safety is best achieved with alert drivers, In some states it is even already illegal just to test drive computer driven cars, and last whos really at fault in an accident? How do we judge whos at fault if no ones really driving and could people use these cars as an exuse to drink and drive sinse there not really driving? There are many questions and reasons I have against driveless cars.
In paragraph 9 of the article, "Driveless Cars Are Coming," it states, "lawmakers know that safety is best achieved with alert drivers." We as Americans should trust in the people who propose all of our laws especially to keep us safe. Why wouldnt you trust someone who sets the boundaries of your life? if they say regular cars will be safer shouldnt we all strive to keep our country and the people in it and surrounding us safe?
In some states it is already illegal to even just test drive computer driven cars. If it is illegal to test drive them, that just shows how dangerous they really must be. Also if they are illegal in some states would they have to continue to drive regular cars while the other staes drove driveless cars? I think that would be more dangerous to mix the two types of cars on the roads. I could see even more accidents happening because of that.
Last, this is probally something about everyone could agree with, whos fault would accidents be? Police and other people would have to put in alot more effort into deciding whos fault the accident would be and sometimes they probally could be more likely to be false. If no ones driving the car then that means the manufacturers could always be at fault. Could you really rely your life on a car? I dont think I could. And even if you chose to not drive a driveless car, some people might still be in fear because they will still be driving on the same roads as them.
These our my reasons for being against driveless cars. Some people will disagree but i strongly do believe the roads will be safer as we continue to drive with regular self driven vehicles. Again with lawmakers knowing that safety is best achieved with alert drivers, in some states it is already illegal to even test drive them, and who's fault it would be in the accident, we will all be safer with self driven cars. | 3 |
I would hate driverless cars. Now the only reason why I would hate it is because, I love to drive it is one of my favorite things to do. I would not be able to enjoy that if we had driverless cars, I mean yeah it would be cool but whats the point you will be spending more money then having a car and driving it yourself. No offense to Sergey Brin or anything not trying to crush your dreams but you have to think, this idea takes time, money, people willing to drive, and the strange one on one contact of who will be driving. I personly would only like it is if it would just pull up for you yeah the car driving by it's self would be cool but thats with only the car no one else, see when I read driverless cars I think of someone driving you around like "uber", but I what I would like to see is what I saw in The Avengers 2 Age of Ultron when Tony Stark pressed the button on his key fab and his orange convertible Audi R8 drove out of the garage and pulled up next to him. Thats what I want to see a car that can drive it's self but if it can only roll up to you then I would like that to but having someone drive you around would be weird, if it was a limo now thats a different story but other then that, I personly think this is a bad idea until they can master the car that can drive it's self until then keep trying. | 1 |
Some may say that they need cars to get around. Some people love thier car and could never dream of giving it away. Some also don't care about cars that much. Well in Germany and Paris cars are banned, yes I said banned. Some people may be shocked at this but others not so much. Some may ask how do they get around places? Some might ask so do they just walk everywhere from place to place? Some may ask do they actually like living without a car? Some might not even agree with the whole banning cars thing and may have lots of other questions. Well if you wanna know the answer to those questions well read on. Pay attention while you're reading and as I explain to you why these people think life is better without cars.
Having a car is important to mom's especially to the mom's that have about three or more kids. Mom's have dudies to do including taking sons to soccer ball games. Well a mom in Vauban, Germany got rid of her car. She actullay enjoy being car-free, and get this seventy percent of Vauban's families don't own a car. Also fifty-seven percent of people sold their car just to live there, obvisously more and more people are agreeing with this no car thing, and they would much rather take buses and taxies.
Now am not saying that everyone will agree about banning cars, read on to see how the people in Parris disobeyed the no car rule and what happened to them. On Monday motorists with even-numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or pay 22-euro (31 USD). The same would apply the next day for the odd-numbered plates. According to an international news agency headquartered in London almost four-thousand drivers were fined. Twenty-seven people had their cars impounded for their reaction to the fine.
Some people may not know the real reason that people try to limit car use or even ban it in some countries. Its to take away stress and to lower air pollution. In Bogota, Colombia they had a care-free day and it turned into a big hit. On this car-free day millions of Colombians hiked, biked, skated, or took buses. Leaving the streets of this capital city eerily deviod of traffic jams. You know but not everyone was willing to parcisepte in this event and those people faced twenty-five dollar fines. This program was set to sprend to other countries and it did. For the first time, two other Colombian cities, Cali and Valledupar joined the event, and they were happy.
In conclusion limiting car usage or even banning cars is a good way takes stress and lower pollution.
Having to drive around alot can put a lot of pressure on a person and the pressure is lifted when they dont have to drive anymore. Air pollution is bad there are already a lot of things polluting the air why not make cars one of things thats not polluting the air. Also there will be less car traffic noone likes being stuck in traffic. I think that limiting car usage is a good thing. It will save us in the long run. | 2 |
The Facial Action Coding System is a computer that reveals the facial expression or feeling of someone. It is useless in a classroom or student composition. As translated through the ideas of Nick D'Alto who believes that using this computer in classroom or school based activities is a great idea. The computer is showing off how computers can crack the surface of 'amazing', but it is merely depriving and shameless.
The analytical images percieved by the computer bring no emotional or true connection between a student and another student. Through the entirety of 'Making Mona Lisa Smile', not once does the author mention anything about how the student would respond to these 'calculations' emotionally in a classroom. D'Alto elaborated by saying "She's 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry", this just explains the ideas of the entire reading. The importance of this is outstanding, if the computer is only looking at number and muscle movements, then how would a student possibly react to looking at people as merely numbers and respondents of action, and not true emotions.
The idea of looking at students and just thinking of there emotions, the thing that makes them human as just numbers is just degrading. The unbareable thought of someone looking at your smile and dissecting it was not covered in the reading, it was seen as numbers for a science class like some small expirement. As said by the author when he asked "Can we actually 'calculate' emotions-like math homework", obvioulsy pointing to the fact that yes was the answer. Moreover the fact that exploiting a persons emotions is socially and even scientifically wrong, this demonstrates how the technology is being forced onto people as a tool and not just another 'cool' computer program.
The computer that can sense emotions or just facial expressions is depriving and shameless for a tool that should be used in more appropriate occurances such as a workplace or new photo taking booth at a mall; not a classroom. This could emotionally affect a student and derail their idea of 'emotion'. Although the Facial Action Coding System is a feat in math and science terms, it is just another step towards the loss of humanity, especially in classrooms. | 2 |
Computers that detect emotion would not be useful in a classroom because it would add extra work for teachers, and the computers wouldn't be immune to network problems and other things of that nature. They also probably will make mistakes in detecting emotions, and possible cause problems for students and teachers. There is also alot of contrversy on the data that computers already collect on their users everyday. With that why would parents want their childs emotional data collected and sold off to companys just to give them better ads. While there may be some good reasons for having emotion detecting computers the bad outweigh the good.
Computers knowing how their users feel would cause alot of problems for society as a whole, especially if it was implemented in schools. If this new technology was placed in our schools for everyday use, there is a high likelyhood that there would be many problems with it. Dr. Huang states," A classroom computer could reconize when a student is becoming confused or bored. Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor."(D'Alto, 6) The idea behind this is brilliant; a computure will make class less boring and more understandable for students who may be struggling. The flaw in this logic is that teacher would have to make more than one lesson, and they would then have to put in the conditions in for which lesson the computer should give the children. This would add alot of extra work for a teacher where as if the teacher is instructing the whole class they can take a moment to clarify if students look confused, and then that is all and they can move on without having to make diffrent slides or another worksheet. Not only would the teacher have to put in more time, but the student would possibly be on a totally diffent page than the rest of the class due to diffrences in possible lessons. One other very likely problem that students will face is problems with the actual computer becasue it will lag, or they will have problems with the WIFI. Then how will the student be able to get their class work done.
There is also a lot of contrversy surronding the data that computers already collect on their users everyday. It would be safe to say that a majority of parents and gardians would not be fine with thier childrens emotional data being collected, and it then being sold off to give them better ads. Becase in all honesty children are not only using school computes for educational purposes, there are many students who are playing games, looking at articles, and in general not doing school work. There is also many times teachers tell students to look things up, and anytime something is looked up online there are ads. RIght now these ads are mostly targeted towards things that have been looked up in the past or things that have been clicked on. Dr, Huang says," For example, if you smile when a Web as appears on your screen, a simmilar ad might follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be diffrent." (D'Alto, 6) Why would parents want Google ad generation to know you child looked at a random ad and just so happened to smile? It doesn't make any sense. Also not only does the program that caught that lovely smile know, but now the people the company owning that program sold it to know too. One thing that should not be sold for profit is someones emotional data.
Now the reasons that people would want emotion reading technogly in classrooms should be addressed. A student might do better in school should they be able to have a lesson almost entierly catering to their intrests.
Dr. Huang states," Then tit could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." ( D'Alto, 6) This would mean that the student would be able to have a lesson that they understand, and that they would be interested in. This would promote more learning and better grades.
This tecnology is a bad idea for teachers and students alike to have emotion reading techonlogy placed in classroom, and there would likey be an poutcry from the public to remove them due to their emotional information being sold to companies. The bad outcomes just outweigh the positives. | 4 |
Honestly I think they shouldn't change the Electoral College. I have three reasons why they shouldn't change the Electoral College. This Electoral College has made this nation historical,it would be too much work to change it,and it wouldn't be the same if they changed it.
Changing this Electoral College wouldn't be the best thing to do cause it's made this nation have so many historical moments. We had so many presidents that changed this nation. George Washington was probably the most remembered president. Washington fought for our country in wars that happened long ago. He made this country have so much meaning to it.
Another reason why they shouldn't change the Electoral College is because it would be too much work. It would seem very tiring to change the Electoral College. There are so many rules and amendments that they would have to change. They would also have to change the number of votes that the president has to get. I think it would be better if they left the Electoral College the way it is.
The last reason why they shouldn't change the Electoral College is because it wouldn't be the same. There are so many great Amendments that should remain the same. It would be chaos if they changed the Amendments. Plus a lot of people would have even more opinions about why they changed the Electoral College. The Electoral College should remain the same. | 1 |
There are both positive and negative aspects of driverless cars. Though I believe why change what's not broke; there are many people out there who believe driverless cars are the future.
The positive aspects of driverless cars are as follows: there are sensors at the wheels in the creation of antilock brakes: these sensors have become more advanced to detect and respond to the danger of out-of-control skids, these vehicles have a traffic jam assistance to signal to the driver that it is time to take over to navigate work zones and accidents, they can steer, accelerate, and break themselves.
The negative aspect of the driverless cars are as follows: more laws would have to be created in ensuring whose liable for the accidents as well as keeping people safe, it is illegal to even test computer-driven cars in many states, and to ensure the safety of pedestrians and drivers, traffic lawa will change and not just regular laws and least, they are dangerous.
So therefore, I say stick to what's not broke. The world is becoming lazy and there are certain things we need to keep to ensure safety for our citizens. The negatives outweigh the positives. The driverless cars sound just like what they are DANGEROUS! | 1 |
In "The Chellenge of Exploring Venus," the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. He goes on to talk about how Venus used to be just like earth, and it preparing us for further adventures.
Venus used to be just like earth so now scientist want toknow what Venus is like now also how earth will end up and try to find thing to see how long Venus has been like this maybe to even see aproximatley how long Earth will last. " If our sister planet is so inhospitable, why are scientist even discussing further visits to its surface? Astronomers are facinated by Venus because it may very well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. Long ago, Venus was probably covnered largley with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, Just like Earth today."
This quote shows how they are so curious becuase Venus used to be just like us. And since some believe in other living being then exploring Venus could be a huge break through is we find anything about there being an ocean or any sign of life, because that would mean that there could be other life out there now.
Humans are very curious creatures. We love to get into things we aren't supposed to starting at infantry. Well scientist are big kids with big toys that can do big things and they are smart and alwasy are wantig to learn more. So whos to tell them that they cant go check out another planet and make history? The author says, "Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also becasue human curiosity will likeyly lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors. Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be liited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." This quote is showing how even though things are dangerous, as humans we have this curiosity this strive to go beyond what out limits seem to be. Venus is one of those limitaions that we have and we are still trying to land on it and get to know it better. For furture reference doing this with Venus will just further prepare us to more crazy hings that our amazing mids think up one day.
In conclusion exploring venus is very worthy
pursuit despite the dangers it presents because this is preparing us for the furutre and helps us learn more about the solar sysytem we all live in and may very well help us continue a very long journey in the future. | 3 |
Living in a polluted world were you cannot see the sun is not ideal, most of pollution comes from car emmisions. We as people today cannot imagine what it would be like without a car, but there are advantages of not having one. There is a city in VAUBAN, Germany that residents have given up cars.
VAUBAN is a experimental community that has "car-free" streets. "Car ownership is allowed, but there are only two places to park- large garages at the edge of the development, where a car-owner buys a space, for 40,000, along with a home"(s1p2). At first glance this experimental town might seem to be completly outrageous, but it works very well,this community has 5,500 residents. Without a car life would seem to be a lot harder, moving around would require effort, but towns like this one have all the shopping and parks within walking distance of your home. Stores arent spread out,so it doesn't take a 15 minute driveto get to the store, but only a 5 minute walk. A resident of the town said that " When i had a car i was always tense"(s1p3). To me this means that the resident no longer had to worry about getting into a car and worry about getting into a accident, all they have to worry about is catching the bus.
Car congestion is the worst when you are trying to get to home or to work, in the big capitals around the world they have banned driving for certain people forspecific day every week. Paris is a example of one of these countries, if you were caught you had to pay a 31 dollar fine. After 5 days congestion was down 60%. "According to the BBC public transit was free of charge from Friday to Monday"(s2p18). Other countries are doing this as well, In BOGOTA, Columbia they have a program called "A Day Without Cars". In this program all cars a banned, the only way to get around is with taxis and buses, people who dont agree have to pay a 25 dollar fine." It's a good opportunity to take away stress said Carlos Plaza"(s3p24). From this event many countries have come to observe to take the idea and apply in their country, also parks and sporting center have popped up becasue the people are more active.
Having a car isn't all it is cracked up to be , owning cars and getting licenses have decreased in the past years. This is because people are finding better ways to get around without harming the enviornment. Paris,France had smog so bad that it rivaled Beijing, Chinia, but with the legislation and cooperation of the public they were able the get the smog to go down. There are many advantages of not having a car, you can relax and destress, help the enviorment , and be able to see the sun during the day due to car emmisions going down to almost non-existent. | 3 |
In introduction, NASA and Scientist are trying to get information about venus. They already try landing meachin but it only last an hour. So they have to do something about it to test if human would be able to live in venus. NASA and Scientist believe that there use to be life in venus because of the feature, like mountain, vally and other. So NASA and Scientist are still planning on something else.
First, according to the text venus is sometime called the evening star, and is one of the brightest points of light in the night sky. Scientist say that this nickname is misleading becasue venus is a planet. Venus is the second away from the sun, which mean it really hot. Mars is the first one but according to the text venus is the hottest of all of them, hotter then the mars. Venus is often referred to as earth's twin because it the closest planet to the earth, in size and density.
Second, all of the planet move at different speed so something earth a closer to mars than venus. The most challenging part for NASA and Scientist is studying the planet, at the same time it the most important part os the mission. Their mission is to see and test venus if human can live in it. They already try sending meachin but it only last one hour so that was a bummer. According to the text the most challening part of it is the cloud of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in venus's atmosphere. The other challeng is in venus the average temperatures is over 800 degrees fahrenheit.
Thrid, NASA possible slolution is to allow Scientists to float above the fray, which mean it like car hovering 30 miles above the surface. The temperatures would still be around 170 degrees fahrenheit inside, Scientist will be able to live according to the text. All the researchers can do is look around and write it down on paper since they cannot take samples of rock, gas, or anything else, but it is safe from creature if there is any. Somehow someone would need to get up close and personal despite the risks. According to the text, NASA and Scientist can also build another meachin that would be able to go to venus and come back with samples. Nowaday computer need electronics but this computer from 1800s dont need electronics and was played an important role in the 1940s during world war 2. According to the text, these devices make calculations by using gear and levers, and tend to be more stonger when it come to extreme physical conditions.
Inconclution, NASA and Scientist are trying to find away for human to visit the "earth twin" (venus). They have try alot of way but none of them work so now they are trying to use computer from 1800s with extreme physical conditions to get some samples from venus to study. I hope it work too, who doesn't want to visit the earth twin (venus), will there be alien. According to the text, modern computer are enormously powerful, flexible, and quick but weaker in extreme physical conditions. All in all venus is planet that is consider as earth twin, and Scientist believe that there use to be grass, tree and other, but it too hot so they all died. | 3 |
Today there is a big problem in the world and that problem is car emissions. This has been becoming a growing problem around the world. In Paris a thick layer of smog had covered the city and its government had to take action. the government practically shutdown road traffic by telling the people with even plate numbers to not drive and the next day telling the people with odd plate numbers to not drive.
Many of the problems that create this are the densely populated areas with high car usage. In Europe in 2006 there government finished construction on a town that had no garages or drive ways, the only place to park was a garage that you had to buy a spot in for $40,000 witch you payed for along with your house. This trend has been growing around the world, and with this trend spreading so is lower pollution in the world. | 1 |
The conflict of whether or not scientists should study the planet Venus has been up in the air, no pun intended, for sometime now. Many individuals think that studying Venus up close is too dangerous, whereas others disagree and think risks should be made. In the article, "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author thinks studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers, but does not support this idea very well.
The author describes the potential dangers that could result from studying Venus which contradicts their idea that the observations made through studying Venus overweigh the risks. The author is aware of the fact and describes how, "no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours" (paragraph 2). Right off the bat, the author gives their audience the mindset that it is not a good idea to study Venus. Having that fact in the first few paragraphs of the article sets the tone for the rest of the article. In paragraph three, the author goes into great detail about several of the potential dangers that can come from studying Venus because of its, "clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid" (paragraph 3). The frightening environment described strays the audience even further away from believing that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers. Not only does the author describe why dangers are present on the planet Venus, but they also gives analogies in regards to the danger present including the fact that, "such an environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans" (paragraph 3). At this point in the article, the idea of having a human explore and study Venus up close in unthinkable. The author tries to justify the dangers by explaining technology that will be used in order to allow individuals to study Venus. The author describes, "a vehicle hovering over Venus" (paragraph 5). At first, the technological advances that could be made sound like a good idea, but the author goes on to say how, "tempertaures would still be toasty at around 170 degress Fahrenheit" (paragraph 5). This fact completely shuts down the idea of the hovering vehicle. The author contradicts their ideas by explaining the dangers in depth and giving reason as to why studying Venus is not a good idea.
From the very first descriptions of the idea the author is trying to bring across, the audience is turned away from the author's opinion. The tone set sways the audience toward one direction of the conflict while the author is in the other direction. The author went too far into detail about the dangers that can come from studying Venus and di not have evidence of how it would be safe and possible at all. The author's idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers was not supported through their ideas or evidence. | 3 |
This type of technology that can read human emotions should happen, this being made already whether we say yes or no to it its gonna happen no matter what anyone saids. This technology that can read peoples emotion. This could become greater coming impact to the future in someway it could help us. Lets say if we were catch a crimmnal we would know what there thinking depedning on thier emotion if there scared happy sad, if man kind can have this type of technology then we would never have to worry about how our girlfriend feeling and they wouldnt have to go through alot trouble trying hint at us that there mad or sad we just pull a computer or sum sorts and know what there feeling. Being able to tell human emotions. this technology would be able tell teachers or parents would know that soemthing is wwrong with us. this type of technology ciuld be used on students and teachers could how we understand and feel about these feelings we have while were in school. | 1 |
I know this Face is just a natural landform because, in passage 5, its says, "some people think the Face is bona fide evidence of life on Mars, evidence that NASA would rather hide". This shows that people are going against what scientist are saying and that people have opinons that this is just a natural landform, and that this was naturally formed on Mars.
Also, people have taken pictures of this landform with a camera that is ten times sharper than the Viking photos, stated in passage 7. After they took these pictures with this high tech camera it showed there was no alien monument. When this landform was made and the first photo was shown it formed a humans face, it didn't form an alien. In passage 3 it says, "illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth" of a human being.
If a alien were to make this landform they would probably make it of them, something that actually looks like them not some other creature, like a human. "When the camera was located at 41 degrees north martian latitude where it was winter in April '98 it was cloudy on the Red Planet". While they were searching they never seen Alien markings.
So therfore, the clouds being so cloudy the alien markings where shown as never visible because, they were covered if there was any alien markings but, the camera shows there is no alien markings and that this is a natural landform. Some people have there opinons on if this was reall made by an alien but very few scientist believe this was made by an alien although some do. This is why I say that this is a natural landform and is not made by any type of alien in any form and that this landforn looks naturally made on Mars. | 2 |

With a strong upcoming of the future, many car company have been working on cars that can help the economy grow into a huge future. Google being one of the biggest company's to make a car that can do this. This is my opinion about it.
As of right now the driverless car is still needed to be worked on. It can only go 25 miles per hour and still need humans to be aware of what is going on. If a human is not paying attention there will be an accident waiting to happen. I believe driverless cars should not be illegal in any state and I think this will greatly help towards the future. I understand the pros and cons of this and I think there are more pros to this than cons. So I think we really should allow this to happen but not to take over the full car game.
Google is a big enough industry to fund something like this. But a lot of states illegalized it but we all know the country is known for making things that shouldn't be illegal illegal. I hope Google continues to fight the system and get stronger so this could be something new. I believe that Google can fight back and push for this to happen. | 1 |
People are wanting to create "Driveless Cars". Driveless Cars are a car that you could drive without steering it or doing anything with driving like you do today, that is just making humans even more lazy. Humans are already lazy today but society wants to make us even more lazy by not doing things on our own now. Farmers already have tractors that are like this, the tell them when they need to turn around and that is it, other thant that the computer tractor does everything for you.
I think that Driveless Cars are pointless because we already have all this technolgy that we don't need but yet soem poeple are big on technolgy but there is also somw technolgy that we don't need. Why do we need Driveless Cars when we could drive the car ourself, do other thigns by ourself, and not be lazy? See the Google Car is programed to do everything that we should know about driving but the Google Car does all of the thinking for us.
The cars that you have to plug in instead of putting gas in are somewhat a good idea because then you wouldn't have to pay fo rgas but on the other hand you have to charge your car up every night, replace the charger when it is out of charging the car, and you would worry abotu if your car would make it through the dya or not. So the charging your car in a good idea but there is also some cons about it too.
My personal thought is that we shoudl not have these Driveless Cars because it woudl make us humans think that we can do whatever we want adn just be lazy all the time when in reality we can do everything on our ow, we just choose not to. There are some good ideas with it, like the BMW has vibrating seats if the seat is dozing off and it keeps the driver alert. The Google car is watchign teh driver for the most part, when the car shoudl be watching the road to, notjust the driver.
So me personally, I think that we shoudl not get Driveless Cars. They will make humans thingk they can do anything they want to, make us lazy, and make us not do our own work. People that work are the hard workers because they make the effort to do things. | 3 |
Venus, the second planet from the sun, and one of the most dangerous planets for exploration. The planet is strangly reffered to "Earth's twin", today it might not hold Earth's qualities, but long ago it was beilieved it did. Scientist's are set to beileve that at one point Venus had oceans and a possinble life sorce. A time before the extreme weather conditions, Venus is said to have flourished with oceans, supporting various forms of life, like Earth today. Now, that is long gone, taken over by a volcanic terrain. Exploring Venus will be dangerous and worth all the odds against it.
We, as humans, have already tried to explore the dangerous planet before. Each mission has been unmanned as no spacecraft has even survived the landing for more than a few hours. Nasa is now working on other approaches to studying Venus. One project being conducted states "having simplified electrons made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions." That will allow us to have a better understanding of limiting the exteme factors. Looking back to mechanial computers, will be easiter as it is more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces.
Exploration of Venus would contribute emensally to our knowlendge of our sister planet. The author states "striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimdating endeavors." Through our curiosity, it will allow us to aquire insight into a new vast world, far beyond our exploration on Earth. "Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." Space exploration has no limit, bounderies will inspire those to explore the unexplored and will allow us to push oursleves to places we have never been before.
Venus, an inhospitable planet, with extreme temperatures ranging up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit, to the atmospheric pressure being 90 times greater than on Earth. It may seem obsurd to even consider the possibility of even exploring the planet itself, but motivation and some inspiration it will take you to great places. Scientists today, are finding ways to get us their safely and effectivally. To building a possible hover craft to working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to require meaningful data. There are a lot of factors to be put into consideration when thought about, but with the right tools and knowledge one day exploring Venus might be a possiblity. | 3 |
Have you bever seen land that looks like a face?
There's a Face on Mars ,however; some people think it was created by aliens.
Some people do not think that like me.
It is located in Cydonia and the space craft arrived on September 1997.
Scientist discovered by looking for possible landing sites.
The Face is just a natural landform and it wasn't created by aliens.
Only some scientist thought is was from an alien but I know it's not.
The text states, "Although few scientist beleived the Face was an alien artifact."
The few scientist thought that it was made by aliens therefore, they didn't have any evidence.
Nevertheless, NASA unveiled the image for all to see and the caption was noted a "huge rock formation."
So at the beginning they figured it was a rock but they didn't say anything about it being created by aliens.
Evidence is a very important thing for scientist.
Many people learned what the "Face" was when they revealed it to the public.
The author reveals, "Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing... a natural landform."
They said it was a natural landform because they zoomed up on it and could see no aliens..
For 25 years the face has been in magazines and it has even been in hollywood movies.
All of them said it was a natural landform.
Many people were excited about the Face.
If aliens created it they would have left evidence, like a shrine, monument, or you could see them in pictures.
After publishing it the author says, " There was no alien monument after all."
That proves that it was not created by aliens, but many people disagreed.
Everyone were not satisfied because they thought aliens created it.
Although, some skeptics said alien markings were hidden by a haze.
But the scientist did not think that, so they went out again and looked for the face to take more pictures.
The Face was located in Cydonia it is a hard place to locate.
The picture from 2001 was more clear than the one from 1975.
The pictures didn't show any monument of aliens and they could not tell they were even there.
Lots of evidence proves aliens did not create the Face.
What the face is described is a butte or mesa- landforms common around the American West.
The article states, "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho."
That states it looks like a landform from Earth.
This proves that no matter what people think it was not created by aliens.
The Face is just a natural landform and it wasn't created by aliens. | 2 |
The Face is just a natural landform because there is no evidence that the aliens did it. They didn't find any signs of aliens at all. The Face was just formed from natural landform. In paragraph twelve, it states that it "actally shows the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa- landforms common around the American West." They captured so many photos, from different years, proving it's just a natural landform.
People do make mistakes about things, but this couldn't be a mistake. They have so much proof that there could be no way that this could be a mistake. They have so many pictures, from different years, of the Face and they all look like part of a natural landform. Landforms do create things that we think it's something else, but it's actually just how nature is sometimes. If the Face had some proof that aliens did it then thigs would be different. People do sometimes just image things that they think it's something but it could sometimes just end up being something simple.
Scientists have gone through everything together and everything just seems to add up that it's just natural landform. They've been up to Mars so many times and done lots of calculations about it. They usually know what is happening and if things do exist or what is causing it to do that. It all adds up that it's just a natural landform and maybe there will be more natural landforms popping up in the future. It's only a natural landform, nothing from aliens. | 2 |
In todays society, technology is widely used and practiced just about everywhere. People are constantly creating and improving technology to make life go more smoothly and feel more luxurious for human kind. We now have machines that can easily make our food and drinks, we have automatic vaccumms and dishwashers. We have just about everything we need because of technology and soon we can even have driverless cars. But is that taking it over the line?
Driverless cars have been a practiced idea dating all the way back to 2009. It wasn't that much of a topic then because it was again, just an idea that no one expected to go anywhere. Now, seven years later, the first driverless car will become available sometime this year. So what's so good about driverless cars?
The first great thing about driverless cars is that theyre driverless. You wont need to go out of your way to drive youself somewhere if youre not up to it and you wont have to get rides from risky drivers. another important factor is that driverless cars use a lesser ammount of fuel than regular cars which means less money out of you pockets. the driverless cars can also drive you more than half a million miles. Also, it's supposed to be a lot safer than regular cars.
But with positives comes negatives. I think the most important negative factor is that it runs on a computer like system. Computer systems arent the sturdiest and often break or go into over drive.This could cause your car to lose control.
I think driverless cars is a very bad idea. Humans were made to rely on the planet, not machines and were already doing enough of that without driverless cars. There's too much of an unknown risk and driverless cars is just another excuse to become more lazy. | 2 |
Boredom in the classroom is not rare. For many students, some lessons will be pretty boring and bland, making the the student less attentive and engaged. What if that can be changed with technology? What if the machine used to detect emotions in Da Vinci's artwork, the Mona Lisa, could be used to the students' benefits? The use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable because it can detect the students' emotions during the lesson, it can modify the lesson according to their emotions, and it is much more effective compared to a human.
This technology could be used to detect the students' emotions during the lesson. In the article in paragraph 4, "Using video imagery, the new emotion-recognition software tracks the facial movements-in a real face or in the painted face of Mona Lisa.... Each expression is compared against a neutral face (showing no emotion)." The author describes here how the machine works. It detects the muscles and the movements of s face and compares it to a neutral (no emotions) face in order to determine the emotion of the subject, whether it be a painting of a real life human. Using this device, the computer can be placed in a classroom and can be used to detect the students' emotions. This means as a teacher, they will know whether their lesson is making the students happy, sad, or angry. Using this new data that can be collected, it can make the students more engaged.
With the new data collected, this device can help make the students much more engaged in their learning by modifying the lesson according to emotions. As stated in paragraph 6, "Imagine a computer that knows when you're happy or sad. For example, if you smile when a web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be different." As described by the author, this technology could be used to make the marketing buisiness much more succesful. They can play more ads that are similar to the ones that made the viewer happy and play different ones if the viewer seemed to be unhappy. This concept can be taken and implemented into a classroom. The computer can use the emotion detecting data and modify the lesson to where it will be towards the students' liking. With this device, it will be much easier to understand the students and make the classroom more enjoyable. It can even introduce a new system of learning.
This device can provide a much better substitute for a teacher. In paragraph 5, "For instance, you can probably tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on her face. Of course, most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that converys happy, worried, etc.... His new computer software stores similar anatomical information as electric code." The author describes how humans make this same "calculation" every single day since we can sometimes identify when a friend is sad or happy. However, humans are not as good at calculating emotions as this device is. Humans could have trouble determining facial traits that convey specific emotions, which is why the device is much more effective. This new device that can provide a much better learning experience with modified lessons can even replace human teachers. It's accurate data and superior understanding of the students compared to humans proves that it is a much better teacher.
In conclusion, the use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is very valuable. It can detect the students' emotions during the lesson, it can modify the lesson according to their emotions, and it is much more effective compared to a human. With the Facial Action Coding System, it can pave a path towards a new learning system, one where kids will enjoy being in a classroom rather than falling asleep. One where students will actually want to learn rather than be forced to learn. | 4 |
Florida Senators,
The Electoral College is an unfair process. With multiple presidents winning the popular vote and losing their presidency, it is nondemocratic. Myself, along with many other people across the state, believe that elections should be based on popular vote rather than the decisions of 538 electors. Although the Electoral College has its advantages, I believe that a majority vote by the people of the United States would be more accurate as well as fair.
The Electoral College is a winner-takes-all system, meaning that candidates spend lots of time campaigning in the "swing" states rather than others. In 2000, seventeen states didn't even get to see the candidates. This means that almost 34% of voters didn't get a real feel for who they will be casting their votes for. Even though presidents should focus their time on big states with larger populations, it is unfair to the smaller states who don't get any visits from their candidates.
With the Electoral College system, voters vote for a slate of electors, rather than the presidents themselves. This means that when you cast your vote for Barack Obama ,for example, you are not voting for him. you are actually voting for a certain number of electors who contribute to the candidate's electoral votes. Electors can be anyone not in public office and they are usually chosen by the state. This is a corrupt system because the electors could be anyone, and change their ideas to not reflect the views of the people. In 1960, Louisiana legislature segregationists almost replaced all of the Democratic electors electors with new Kennedy-opposing electors. The errors and problems in this system could be much greater, and goverment officials must be monitoring it at all times.
In the event of an Electoral College tie, the president election decision would be given to the House of Representatives, and the vice-president decision to the Senate. This doesn't seem too terribly bad, but one representative from Wyoming would be representing 500,000 voters, and would have as much say as the 55 representatives representing 35 million people inhabiting California. This is not fair because of the widespread views of people in each state. There cannot be one candidate that the whole state agrees on, as people's ideas differ across the states.
There are many reasons to keep, as well as dispose of the Electoral College. The negatives outweigh the positives and a popular vote would be more democratic. We are supposed to be a democracy, and democracies thrive on the views of the people instead of electors.
Sincerely,
PROPER_NAME | 3 |
There are plenty advantages to limiting car use on this Earth. For example, limiting car use can lead to a cleaner environment, better overall health of the people and the Earth, and overall, just a better place to live. Cutting down on car usage can be very benficial for the planet, along with future generations of people.
First, limiting car use can lead to a better place to live in. If we were to slow down on the use of gas, there would be less wars over oil in other countries. We as a race can change the world, one car at a time. Lowering the amount of driving wouldn't be an easy change, but surely one worth while.
Secondly, giving up cars completely might not be necessary, but emitting toxic gas fumes can be easily avoided simply by switching to an electric car. There are many affordable electric cars that can help stop the fumes from traveling into the ozone layer, which can prolong our Earth's life, our lives, and can stop global warming dead in its tracks. Who doesn't want to keep this wonderful weather?
Lastly, cutting down on driving automobiles might have an effect on saving people from car accidents caused by unfit drivers. Thousands of people die every day from unnecessary car usage. If we were to cut the amount of driving in half, the rate of death due to car accidents would find a steep decline.
In conclusion, limiting car usage can make the world a better place. This decision can lead to better health, less death due to car accidents, prolonging our planet's health, and less complaints about those roller-coaster like gas prices! It only takes one person to make a change, so decide if you want to be the one to potentially save the world. | 2 |
In the essay "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author does an great job of describing how Venus would be a very worthy persuit depite all of the dangers. Venus is the closest planet to earth. In the essay the author states that it is known as Earth twin. That is in terms of desity and size though.
In the essay the author states that "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system." This statement in the essay opens many new ideas to support why exploring Venus would be a worthy pursuit. Its starts to make the reader wonder what happened to the planet to make it look the way it does now. Even though it is very dangerous the mission to Venus could posibbly be held to many discorvory's, and this is what the author is telling us he thinks that it is worth it and it definetly is.
Then you get the reader wondering how do we study a planet we can't even land on. The text states " NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the suface of Venus would allow the scientist to float above the fray." Then the author compares that to flying above storms in airplanes today. This would allow the humans not to get hurt while testing Venus. The author has given the reader a good way to see how it would be possible for scientis to experiment on Venus. That is another way he makes it seem like a worthy pursuit.
Last of all he makes a point that this step would not just gain insight of the planet, but it will allow us to target bigger task. The text states "not only because insight gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intiminadating endeavors." This alows the reader to devolop a sense to what might happen after they experiment on Venus they will start on another dificult task. The author wants the reader to know that this is all in the devolopment in are world. It will alow us to further and that is great for this world to discorver new places.
In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author does an amazing job of making sure the reader understand that studying Venus is a worhty pursuit. In the essay he gives us a reason why which is it is the most earth like planet in our solar sytem. Another reason is accomplishing the task of studying venus will allow us to think further and go futher in to are solar system and start discorvering more. Last of all the author gives us a how and that is they would float above the fray. All of these points make the reader beleive that Venus is a worthy pursiut despite all of the challenges and danger that the planet poses. | 3 |
I am against on the value of using this technology to read student emotional expressions. why? because if a computer can read a students facial expressions then the computer can mostlikley see them and that means no personal space for the students. "While it shows just how much this computer can do, imagine a computer that knows when you're happy or sad. I also choose to disagree on not having this techonlogy becuase if the computer can tell your facial expressions then when you get bored in class then the computer can see that and get you off topic while in class, astudent can become easily distracted and tooken to another site . "A Classroom computer could recongnize when a student is becoming confused or bored,"Dr. Huang predics."Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective himan instructor."The same technology can make computer-animated faces more expressive-for video games or video surgery. Therefore I chossed no for many resonings and with them I stay the same, having this kind of technology is good to have but not helpful at all in classrooms. | 1 |
The challeange of exploring venus
Study venus is a pursuit to dangers, Venus is the challenging planet to humans because of the diffculties. This planet is one of the closest planet to earth which is also dngerous to earth if anything comes up at anything and we do not find a way to overcomme the challenges in venus it might destroyed the earth. this passage explain to that it is called the "earth twin".
" 97 percent carbon dioxide blanketts cover the venus evedn more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in venus atomosphere" venus also have the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system no human can surive carbon dioxide without oxygen it is one of the hottest planetno xspace crft haver ever landed on the ground.
No livingthings lives on this planet if we caan find a solution to this problem we be one of the greatest achievement that human accomplish on earth. we can also make this planet our planetary, venus is one of the most challenging exploring planet on the slolar system.
if we can find a way to overcome this challenges we should be able to over come all other planet on the solar system challegings this we dont have to worry about this earth twin to affect our own earth. i | 1 |
Many people think that this is a alien formed face noooo. I claim that this is a natural landform. We have taken many pictures and it has faded away more every time we take a picture of it. There are some many reasons of how this face was a natural landform.
First, This natrual landform was not form by alein becuase in the pictures you see a small mountain or big hill , but here in the USA, there are many of thoes big hills or small mountains. They are mostly around the American west. It is a lava dome that are on the USA too. and they are the same height. So that face on that hill is not alone.
Next, Another reason on how that natrual landform is natural not made by aliens is that every time we take a picture over the years the face is always fadeding away so if an alien created it why would he just leave it there just to faded away.
They would of kept it alive.
Last, I can see on how somebody could think this was formed by an alien but how do you explain that the eyes are just shadows. They are formed from the nearby rock. Plus the mouth and nose are also formed by the nearby rock shadow. So the mouth, nose and eyes are not really even there they are just shadows
In conclusion, I am telling the alien face that was on mars was just a lava dome. And its eyes nose mouth were just shadows. Plus the picture just started fading away through the years. This is how the Face was not made by aleins but was a natural landform | 2 |
