The machine by Thomas Huang and Nicu Sebe is very helpful in the classroom in many ways, as the article helps explain. It can help to determine what lesson plans are working for the students and what lesson plans are not working as well. Also, it can help how another student is feeling about something non-school related.
The machine, as said in the text, uses the 44 major muscles to understand how a student or any other person is feeling. An example is when it says in paragraph 6 that, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored." This is significant because this can tell if a student fully understand what the teacher is teaching and if he or she is learning. Also, it can tell what kind of lessons or lesson plans the students will react to the most.
Another way the machine is significant is because if a student is getting bullied or getting made fun of. The machine will know and that can further help and get the help the student needs without saying anything. This could prevent stuff going too far and prevent further cases of this type of thing happening.
In conclusion, there is many ways the machine by Thomas Huang and Nicu Sebe can be a significance for students and teachers in the classroom. Two of those examples are to understand how to make a lesson plan work for the students and also to help students that aren't showing that they need help in school or out of school. | 2 |
With the face on mars no one belived that it was actually a face they thought that it was and ancient monument on mars and when NASA first saw the face on mars they thought that it was the landging place of the viking 1's sister ship the viking 2. Then when they put that photo out of the face on mars people were using it in haunted grocery stores checkout lines, radio talk shows, magazines, books, and hollywood films.
Then even some scientists belived that they face was an alien artifact so when people did not belive them they went and took more picture of the face but it was mars cloudy day and people still did not belive them. So NASA went back for another one but to get a better picture they had to get closer to the face and role the ship twenty five degrees to the center they also had to go over the face very often because it was hard to get the picture.
The spaceship would look over mars like a faxing machine but lucky for them going around the face very often it got to a point to were their was no clouds and they were able to get a good shot of the face. So NASA was able to get a better picture of the face so that people would belive them that it was a face in the surface on mars.
The face was not accutally formed from the viking 2 but from a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same hight as the Face on the moon. So the face on mars was alo just a huge rock formation and the eyes nose and mouth was just an illussion formed from a shadow. Also about the alien articact their was not one they thought that their was a hidden alien artifact and hidden alien marking hidden by the haze. | 0 |
Limiting car usage can really save this earth we contribute to destroying everyday. Cars let off a gas called carbon monxide that gets trapped in the warm air layer and contaminates the air we breath in every second of the day. Paris came up with a clever way to limit the air pollution in a week by having motorists with even numbered license plates not drive on Mondays, and if cars with even numbered license plates drove on that day they would be find $31. This would have also went for odd numbered licenses plates on the following day. Vaunban, Germany has also tried something to limit air pollution from motor vehicles. They have a suburban area where no cars are allowed to drive. "Street parking, driveways, and home garages are generally forbidden in this experimental new district on the outskirts of Freiburg, near the french and swiss borders" Elisabeth Rosenthal said. Other ideas have been made in making a car free day. Andrew Selsky stated that "Bogota, Columbia- In a program that's set to spread to other countries, millions of Colombians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work during a car-free day yesterday, leaving the streets of this capital city eerily devoid of traffic jams".
There is so much good that can come from a limitation on the use of cars everyday. A big factor is the obesity rate that is climbing in the US. This is a good way to get ppl to excerise without telling them to actually do it. If there was a resriction of car use then it will get people to make decisions like to i want to get find or am i just gonna walk to the store and get what i need, and they will most likely take the path of no fine. This move to limit car use can do so more than the obvious reducing of air pollution. It can also reduce the amount of money spent to other countries for oil and gas which can go to things that are more important like our countries education for kids. If you really take the time to thing about the benfits that can come from this you will come to alot more than whats in front of you this will set of a chain reaction to alot of other things that will help us and the earth at the same time. Elisabeth Rosenthal said "And that, experts say, is a huge imediment to current efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissins from tailpipes.... Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissins in Europe... and up to 50 percent in some car intensive areas in the United States.
Elisabeth Rosenthal noticed that "when adjusted for population growth, the number of miles driven in the United States peaked in 2005 and dropped steadily thereafter, according to an analysis by Doug Short of Advisor Perspectives, an investment research company. As of April 2013, the number of miles driven per person was nearly 9 percent below the peak and equal to where the country was in January 1995". "What most intrigues me is that rates of car ownership per household and per person started to come down two to three years before the downturn,"said Michael Sivak. This just goes to show that we are gonna end up one day coming close to barely any cars on the road why dont we start now.
Cars are a luxury and not a necessity and we are really abusing it right now. I know you may think what about when you got to go a couple miles just to get to a grocery store. well they have already thought about that Elisabeth Rosenthal stated, "while there have been efforts in the past two decades to make cities denser, and better for walking, planners are now taking the concept to the suburbs.... Vauban, home to 5,500 residents within a rectangular squaer mile, may be the most advanced experiment in low-car suburban life". So thing about this and be open mind to new ways in making the world a more healtier place. You can't walk a thousand miles if you dont take a single step. | 2 |
Why exactlly should one spend there time in the Seagoing Cowboy program? Being in the Seagoing Cowboy program is a progam you should participate in. Just think about the many horses and cows that are harmed and need our after help after a war. This experience is a great one and you should try it.
Traveling is a big part of this amazing program, you get to see so many many historic sites and arcitecture. Being able to cross the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean by boat is pretty cool. One of the times this was used was in 1945 after World War II ended in Europe. Also in 1945 the Seagoing Cowboys helped after the Pacific War had ended.
After world War II ended many countries were ruined to help fix this 44 nations joined together to form the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA). This is also a very good way to help in a fun way. The Seagoing Cowboy program saves many animals who would have else not made it through that deadly war or natural disaster. This is the program made for people who love animals. There are always cows or horses on board that are being rescued.
There is always work to be done as well. So, if your strong and like to work that could be a plus. Haybales and grain always need brought up from lower holds of the ship. Stalls always need cleaned and there is always work to be done. Sometimes you can catch a break on the way to another port and then you can relax.
So why should you join the Seagoing Cowboy program? Well for one reason, your helping so many animals and people too. There is always animals that need our help because well, animals can not talk for themselves so we have to be there for them. | 2 |
I think that driverless cars is something that can potentially make driving a little more safe. Driverless cars are not completely driverless though because they alert the driver when they are needed to take over. Sensors used in cars are also beneficial because they can give information that can cause the car to apply brakes and reduce power from the engine. Therefore, it allows for a better response and control than a human driver could manage alone.
Even though driverless cars can do some things on their own, the human driver must still remain alert and be ready to take over when necessary. For this reason, it is necessary for the car to be ready to notify the driver when a problem occurs. GM has developed driver's seats that vibrate when the vehicle is in danger of backing into an object, and the Google car announces when the driver should be prepared to take over. These are both ways that can alert a driver when it is time for them to drive, which can help people to be ready to focus while driving.
In conclusion, driverless cars can be beneficial to us and help drivers while they are driving. The drivers of these cars must also be alert as well too. There are sensors and other developments that can help with this process and notify drivers when it is time for them to take control. Everything will not happen right away because it is a process that will take time to be sought through and manufactured correctly. So in the future, maybe we will see more driverless cars then than now and it will be a beneficial way to the driving in our country. | 1 |
"Hello, I am Luke Bomberger, I have traveled across the Atlantic Ocean 16 times and the pacific twice, I have helped people affected by World War II. I was part of the Seagoing Cowboys program and i am here today to encourage and convince you to Join this amazing program." I said infront of quite a few people in the town hall.
"Why should we listen to what you have to say?" said my enimie who ran his own program that did exactly what the Seagoing Cowboys did. His name was Jack Linington. He was walkiong on the stage questoning my program. I got furious but i held it in.
"You should have to listen to what I say because what I have to say is important and can help people around the world who have been affected from war." i said back. "So what, my program is way better than yours" said Jack. At this point half of the audience was questoning my program and the other half was yelling at Jack to get out.
"How is yours better than mine we both do the same thing. Can't we just put this feud to an end?" I asked.
" No, people don't listen to him or let him convince you to join his program, instead join mine."He protested.
" Please Jack join my program and let us be friends not enimies" i insisted.
Finally, he broke down and--" Yes, yes i will, ill join your program" i couldn't beleive it he acually wanted to be part of the program! The feeling was a rush i acually softend him and we became friends.
I talked some more and when everyone left they all took a packet. And Jack and I are now not only partners,l we are friends. | 0 |
Many people still believe that the Face on Mars is created by aliens. Some say it's to hard to really know what the object really is. Although many people disbelieve this is not a face, there is many places out west that look like this, and the cameras we used for this mission are to clear, and catch the smallest details, to be counted as incorrect. I believe that the Face, is only a landmark.
Based on the story, Unmasking the Face on Mars, "Scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia, only this one had unusual shadow that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh." When this picture was showed to the world, many people thought it looked like a face, just like many scientst. but the people from NASA called it a "huge rock formation... which resembles a human head..." formed by shadows, giving it an ilusion of a face. Many people still doubted this, and wanted to believe it was a face. I can see how it looks like it has eyes, a nose, and a mouth, but just because it looks like somthing, it doesn't mean it is that.
Don't get me wrong. I do believe that it looks like a person, or alien, but many things look like something else, and it doesn't mean thats what they are, because of looks. The story, Unmasking the Face on Mars states, "What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American west." So based on this sentence, it could be a formation like out west. it has the same height as one in Idaho. It could have a different face then ones on Earth, but I highly doubt it is an alien.
The first, and second image on Mars look like faces, and appear to have all the needs to be a face. The second image wasn't really clear, and many people are right. Some people say, "the face on Mars is located at 41 degrees north martian latitude where it is winter in April '98-a cloudy time of yer on the Red Planet. Perhaps alien marking were hidden by haze." This could be true. I do believe that if there was anything little, or hard to see, it couldn't be found when it was really cloudy outside, and the picture wasn't taken clearly.
Even though you couldn't see what was there, on the second picture, we did take another one. I do believe that some things could have been hidden, but they would have been found, with the third picture. Based on the text, "if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!" you would be able to see anything. So there was nothing there. the only thing that was there, ws a land formation, just like Earth has. We weren't able to find anything that would make the formation, considered to be some type of alien creation.
Based on research, and facts from, "Unmasking the Face on Mars" I believe that the Face, was actually just a land formation. For those who believe it was an alien, then you might be right, but from evidence, I think that it is just a cool and unique formation. The first images were unclear, to tell, but the thir image, was very clear, and us people from NASA, discovered that it wasn't an alien, but just a formation, like a butte or mesa. The Face, had shadows that made it look like eyes, a nose, and a mouth, but it actually wasn't. | 4 |
Emotions are the basis of human nature, emotions make humans- humans. Why should a computer be able to dictate the emotions of students in a classroom? There are more forms of emotions than the six that Dr. Eckman classified. There is more than being able to "modifly a lesson, like an effective human instructor." This technology shows no value to the everyday classroom, or everyday life. It does not help with the problems in the classroom and there is no need for an emotion reader when there are 30+ emotion readers in that very room, the students and teachers.
To start off, the article states itself that:"In fact, we humans perform this same impressive “calculation” every day. For instance, you can probably tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on her face." Humans have the capacity to know the emotions of someone else by looking at them, and even talking to them. These computers can not communicate effectivley with empathy the way people can. A computer is programed to a degree of settings rather than a human brain that has access to every possible feeling and emotion there is. To continue, there are about 25 students in a classroom on average with the ratio of 1 teacher. Dr. Huang states that: "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored,[...] Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." Many flaws can arrive when this technology is scanning multiple students at the same time. To modify the lesson for every emotion in that classrom would make the lesson more confusing for the students and it would send the technology into a breakdown not having the capacity to handle all of these newfound emotions. An "effective human instructor" would be able to provide a simplified lesson to those that struggle while still maintaning the focus of the other students in the class. It has been proven that students memorize and learn better with paper rather than computers, maybe that should be a sign that these technological advances should stay away from the classroom.
In conclusion, Dr. Huang stated himself that:"Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication,[...] So computers need to understand that, too." The technology has flaws, the developers knowing that it would not understand many things. Why bring flawed software into classrooms that hold the future of the society? Science cannot keep using these students with uncanny importance to the world as test subjects. Keep the software out, let learning and growing in. "Can we actually “calculate” emotions—like math homework?" Yes it is possible, but it should not be the route in which we help education thrive. | 2 |
Driverless cars are not the future. The fact that some people are willing to just hand their life to a pre-programmed car is upsurd. Driverless cars have several issues including cyber attack and cost. It is also important for young adults to learn the responsibility of driving and it's benefits. I would also like to point out that the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming" is incorrect on the notion that gas usage will be reduced
First, any competent hacker would be able to easily rewrite the cars programs and commit mass murder. These cars could be hacked for assassinations or just acts of terrorism. These cars would also be under attack from computer virus almost all the time, this would require a costly antivirus software for almost everycar. Driverless cars could easily become weapons against the innocent citizens during a war and are unsafe to mass produce
The article "Driverless Cars Are Coming" states that gas usage would drop dramatically but currently Bill Gates and several other of the worlds richest people are funding billions of dollars to find a relevant source of renewable energy. Synthetic photosynthesis is being developed, this source of energy allows the turning of gaseous carbon into liquid fuel similar to gasoline. With these predicted advancements fuel will no longer be an issue thus can't be a valid argument in an article predicting advancements in the future.
Another reason driverless cars should not be developed is that there is a certain level of responsibility required to drive a car. This responsibilty helps mature young adults and also gives them a sense of accomplishment. We as humans already rely on technology way to much we don't need to further increase our reliance.
Another reason driverless cars should not be developed is the cost. The cost of developing these driverless cars would be in the trillions for each country that participates,
to create these cars almost all major roads in the world would have to be heavily analyzed and improved. All the major roads would have to be fit with sensors and other technology to keep the cars on the road. All the major companies in the world together could not purchase these advancements. For driverless cars to develope the governments of the world and the world bank would have to invest large sums of money, of which most of them don't have. Crippiling debt could be caused by the developement .
As you can see driverless cars are an awful idea that could lead to crippling debt, mass murder, and even more reliance on technology. This technology is not neccesary for the everyday life as a human being and should thus be forgotten. | 3 |
Electoral college is a unfar way to vote for a president becasue it make the government officals bias to the more popular states such as Flordia or Texas. I think that we should get rid of the electoral college because it make the smaller states feel left out compared to larger states. If the president was elected by the population not by the "Government" how would it change the way the U.S. worked today.
The text informs me that under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for the slate of electors who in turn elect the president. In my opinion I think that there should be more than 3 votes or 4 votes for a state to elect a president. If the United States went to a population voting system the elections would be more fair to people that live in the smaller states. The text also informs me that in 2000 the U.S. presidential race, Al Gore received more individual votes than George W. Bush nationwide, but Bush wont the election, receiving 271 electoral votes the Gore's 266. If the case of Gore losing the election a year later Bush went to war on Iraq.
If the United States went to a population voting system the percentage of votes would increase dramaticly to cause a honest election. If the election where to happen next election cycle I think that it would change the way the United States votes. People are fooled by the president when they say "I will lower taxes, Protect the environment, or Stop the wars we are in" I thnk that it's a trick for them to win the votes they need to win. If the population voted for the president i think that the United States would not be in debt.
The reason I think that the voting regulations is broken is that smaller states like Rhoad Island is a state that gets 3-10 votes and Claifonia gets 55 votes. If the only thing that make people happy is to be heard by the bigger people in life. If you where a 18 year old kid in a small state trying to make a new product that could help millions but your in that state that wont let you be heard by the rest of the country. | 2 |
I think Driverless cars would not be a good idea. Driverless cars should have a human being inside of the car to prevent accidents. Many car accidents happen around the world everyday, this car could be the cause of over half of those accidents if there is no driver in it. Someone needs to be Maintaining the wheel at all times when driving the Driverless car. Driverless cars would slow traffick down and keep people from where they are going. Not only that, but people will have to wait to go on a green light if there are driverless cars because there is not a human being in the car to press the gas.
Having driverless cars in the world can cause a lot of damage to the car its self, and people maybe even buildings. Having the driverless car is not such a great idea to have in the world today due to what it can cause for us humans in the world. What happenes if a kid in is in the back of the car with their parent and the car gets in a bad accident?
If we were to have driverless cars, it would take forever to get the laws passed for it on what you can and can not do while driving this wreckless vehicle on the streets. The world is better off without driverless cars. We can do just fine without them. | 2 |
Do you think technology reading your emotion is valuable? In this esaay I'm going to be talk about three things; do I think using technology to read your emotional expression is valuable, what are some pro's and con's of this technology, and lastly will this change the your behaivor. What are your thoughts of facial reconition?
Do it think using technology to read your emotional experssion is valuable? I think it could be valuable but also it's not really needed. If you watch YouTube a lot then you might like it because if you don't like the ad you can frown and the next time you won't watch the same ad and you might like that ad. Do you think it is valuable or a waste of time and money?
What are pro's and con's about this technology? There are many pro's and con's of this like how much it could cost and if it will even work. I have mixed feeling about this. I think it could be useful when you watch a lot of videos because you won't be watching the same ad over and over again. It could also be useful because it could communicate with you and help you out when you are sad by playing a funny video are give you a couple jokes. It could change your day from a bad day into a good day. There are some con's too. I think this would cost a lot of money and would take a long time to make every thing perfect. If they make one computer work that solution that you came up with the last one might mot work for a different computer. Also if they finally figure the system out then it will be costly to buy it. I wouldn't by a expensive computer if all that is different is that it tells if you like an ad or not. I think it is a waste of money. Also since this technology has an video imagery, I think that a stocker could easly hack into this and stock people. Do you think that this is a waste of money or do you think this is a good idea?
Would this technolgy change your behavior? According to the artical it said it that it will change someones feeling or emotion. I think that it could change your behavior because it won't show the same ad over and over. I think that if this emotion recognize didn't work then I would be mad people you wasted a lot of money on this technology. Would your behavior change if you had this kind of technology?
What would you do with this kind of technology? In this essay I talked about three things; do I think technology reading you emotion is valuable, pro's and con's of this technology, and lastly would this change your behavior. Would you buy this technology? | 1 |
Global warming is something that is very dangerous and something that no human should ask for. But by driving a car on a daily schedule thats basically what your doing. A car is one of the main causes of air pollution, and when humans use it so many times in a day it doesn't make that any better.
Their are many places that notice the increase in global warming so the country reduces the amount of car usage. According to Source 1 "70% of Vaubans families do not own cars." and "Passenger cars are responsible for 12% of greenhouse gas emissions in europe, and up to 50% in some car intensive areas in the United States." So the question is why isn't the United States doing something to stop the amont of air pollution in our country? Paris is another country thats doing something for this cause, Another source states "After days of near record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city."
Those are not the only two countries that are taking action for this cause. In Columbia they have a day called "Car-Free" and it is a program in which the only things allowed are hiking, biking, skating, or even busses or taxi's. The gol of the program is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. But this could have a negative impact on car companies like Ford and much more. Source 4 provides us with some information on that, it states "A study last year found that driving by young people decreased 23% betweent the years 2001 - 2009 In the US."
So fellow citizens dont you think its time to make the change and act upon it? Limiting the amount of usage of your car would also save time, conserve resources, lower emissions, and improve safety. So next time your driving in your car just remember that it could be hurting the environment. | 2 |
The Electoral College is not so much a place as a process, created by the founding fathers themselves. It consists of 538 electors and 270 votes, put forth by those electors, are required to elect President of the United States. The Electoral College should be vanquished.
Citizens don't always have control over whom the electors decide to support. This is a problem because voters are sometimes mislead with the electors and vote to elect the opposing candidate. In the year of 1960, those who supported segregation were extremely close to having electors that supported Kennedy replaced with new electors that supported the actions of segregationalists. These people attempted this because Kennedy would never actually recieve the popular votes if the votes were to be in favor of him.
In the sense that some might argue that the Electoral College is perfect the way it is, this is an invalid statement because the people of America don't realistically have a say in government decisions. The Electoral College doesn't help society, therefor it needs to be removed from our system. Citizens of the American society should decide the president, not electors that think the people aren't of a huge importance. | 2 |
At one point, I believed the electoral college was a bad idea. Although, after reading this, my view on the matter as changed dramatically. The electoral college keeps a balance in a country, a balance very much needed. I agree with it one hundred percent.
The electoral college was established as a compromise between election of the President by congress, and election of the President by popular citizen vote. The founding fathers felt it would given congress too much power if it elected the President all by itself. They also felt if citizens chose the seat by themsleves there wouod be chaos. They decided on a nice in between; they both choose, well sort of. What many citizens do not know is that when they cast their vote, they are not voting for the president, but for a slate of electors who in turn elect the President.
I myself feel this method is great. It leaves room for very few mistakes. The problem with citizens voting diectly for the president can be broken into two categories: uncertinty and underqualification. If the vote were solely based on citizen votes, the statisitcal outcome of the event would be crazy. With the majority of the electoral college applying the winner take all approach, it cuts those numbers down incredibly. It is allot easier to confirm a winner out of 538 votes then it is to confirm one out of hundreds of millions of votes now isn,t it?
Another thing that makes it hard for citizens to directlly vote for their president is being underqualified. Many people think for themselves and only themselves. They are not qualified to make choices for the sake of the whole country, that is where the electors come in. These are people chosen by state conventions, state party committees, and sometimes candidates themselves. They hear the ideas of the people and manage them so that they are able to help everyone. They are pro politicians whose job in life is to preserve our country
Counterclaim
The electoral college is not of a democracy, but of a dictatorship. The U.S government lets people choose these electors so they feel important in the choices our country makes. We take time to study our favorite candidates, and if the electoral college does not agree with them, they are pushed to the side. What happens to the people who did not vote for the, "right" candidate? They are forever unheard. Sentenced to live in a community where they are silcenced. I do not agree with the electoral college because agree with our fore father Abraham Lincoln. He said this was supposed to be a country of the people, by the people, and for the people.
You are wrong in so many levels sir. the electoral college does not exclude democracy, it promotes it! Every citizen of legal age uses their god given right to express their political preference in the hopes of improving our country. The electoral college prevents regional rulership over areas that prefer one political side. It re-elects every four years to let everyone know, though your thoughts may not have been used in these past times, know that they have surely been heard. Things like the electoral college make me proud to live in the United States of America, the greatest country in the world. | 4 |
Chaos on Venus? Venus is one the hottest planets in our solar system and the most dangerous planet to explore. The author beleives that trying to explore Venus isn't worth it despite all the dangers in presents. Venus isn't safe for humans to explore. Our mechines wouldn't be much help to explore Venus. Even if we get humans close to Venus, they would still to get close enough to take simples.
Venus isn't safe for humans. Venus is to hot for humans to vist and is constantly expericencing natural dangers. In paragraph 3 it states that," Beyond high pressure and heat, Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like eruping volcanoes, powerful earth quakes, and frequent lightning strkes to probes seeking on its surface." This shows that Venus is safe for humans.
Our mechines wouldn't be much help againist the dangers of Venus. Because of the atmosphere pressure, most thing would just get destroyed or crushed. In the paragraph 3 it states that,"the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet .These conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on Earth; such an environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquefy many metals." The proves that our mechines wouldn't be much help.
Even if we can get humans to Venus safey, they would still have to get close to surface to takes samples and there are risk to getting closer to surface. In paragraph 6 it states that," 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 form of light cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere, rendering standard froms of photography and videography ineffective. more importantly, researchers cannot take samples of rocks, gas, or anything else, from a distance. Therefore, scientists seeking to conduct a through miss to understand Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risk." These are all good example as to why visting Venus would be worthless and how humans would have to get close enough to Venus to take some type of sample.
In conclusion, visting isn't safe for humans. Mechines would be much help exploring Venus. Even if humans got to Venus it wouldn't make a difference to the risk and dangers of being on Venus. There for studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. | 3 |
The Face on Mars is just a natural landform. Many people think that the Face was created by aliens, but this is not correct. There is no proof that shows that the face was created by aliens, but there is much information to back up the fact that the Face is just a natural landform.
In the passage, Garvin says, "'As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size,' he added. 'So, if there were objects in the picture like airplanes on the gorund or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!'" This shows that even when people from NASA zoomed in on the face to get a better look at it, they couldn't find any sign of alien life which means that there is a very low possibility that there are aliens that could've done this.
Another reason that shows that aliens couldn't have done this is when the passage says, "Thousands of anxious web surfurs were waiting when the image first apperared on a JPL web site, revealing...a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all." If scientists at NASA have studied this face and taken many pictures but still can't find any type of alien life, then there isn't any.
The last piece of evidence that shows that aliens didn't make the Face is when the text says, "What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American West. 'It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho,' says Gavin. 'That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars.'" Many scientists would let the public know if they were any signs of aliens making the Face to keep us informed so the people wouldn't constantly be thinking and talking about it every day.
There is much information to back up the fact that the Face is just a landform. The public started to make up theories that made other people talk about it constantly, but scientists from NASA proved them wrong by showing them pictures on the Internet that there are no traces of aliens on or around the Face. | 3 |
The development of driverless cars should not be allowed. Driverless cars would not be good in the United States. It wouldn't be good for the simple fact that it could leave a gas in the air that would pollute the world. It would be dangerous to the people who do not own a driverless car. Also the driverless car would cost billions of dollars, so most people wouln't even bother to spend their money on something like that.
Driverless cars would not be a good idea for the world because it could pollute the Earth with a gas that many people could get sick from, and potientially die from. These "Driverless cars" will have to run on some type of fuel, they will not be able to run on solar power for the simple fact that some people work, and do other things at night time. The fuel that the cars will run on could get the people who are walking by the cars sick because of all the toxic fuems in the air. If everyone is sick or has passed away because of the fuems, how would the people who built and worked on these cars make money?
Also another reason "Driverless Cars" shouldn't be allowed is the cost of the car. Driverless Cars will be expensive to buy, let alone the cost to have it worked on, if the car has a few issues with it. Most citizens in America are middle class citizens, meaning are not rich. So basically, only the rich, and famous people will be buying these cars. Its poitnless to spend all of your money on car, that could possibly cost more than the house you are living in.
As stated in paragraph three, "General Motors, in the 1950s, tried to creat a concept car that could run on a special test track." That idea did not work because the roads the cars would have to drive on, are the ones we use, and our roads are not upgraded to that point yes. It also states in paragraph three that, "Engineers at Berkeley tried something similar, but they used magnets with alternating polarity." Once again it worked to a certain degree, but on the roads most cars drive on, they would have to do major upgrades on them. Both these ideas were very good, but will not work because of our roads that we drive on today.
Many people would like to own a "Driverless Car," but cannot because of the roads we drive on today are not up to par. Driverless cars should not be allowed in the World. The gas fuems could pollute us, they would cost lot of money, and they have already tried something like that before but it did not work due to the roads we drive on. The people who built and worked on these cars would not make a lot of money due the fact that most people are middle class, and will not spend more money on car, that could possible cost more than their house they are currently paying for, or own. | 3 |
There are many facts that lead me to believe why the "Face on Mars" is not an alien artifact and just a landform. There are many obvious facts that prove scientists at NASA right. According to the text, the face was found in an area where there are many landmasses, such as mesas. This led scientists to believe that the so called "alien artifact" is just another mesa, because of how common they are.
Another fact that led me to believe this, is that NASA would have no reason to lie to the public. If NASA had wanted to hide the fact that there are aliens, they wouldn't have released the photograph in the first place. NASA was made so that we could know more about space, why would they keep something important like aliens from us? NASA would actually benefit from having an ancient alien civilization on Mars.
According to the text, the first picture of the "Face on Mars" didn't have very good quality. Though most scientists didn't believe that it was some sort of artifact, many were curious. They took another picture, with better quality and released it to the public.
As they had suspected it was just another mesa, but of course, some people will always have doubts, even if the facts lead directly to the correct answer. These are some of the reasons why I believe that the "Face on Mars" is not an alien artifact, but a landform that coincidentally resembles a human face. | 1 |
cars all around the world are a big part of many peoples daily use. they are used so much that it is starting to become a big problem in major cities like paris, beijing, and new york. now these cities and governments are trying to stop the use of cars before it is too late.
in europe, cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emisions. in the u. s, they are resposible for up to 50 percent in some big cities. if there were less cars on the road, the amount of greenhouse gass emisions would drasticaly change.
in paris, due to the amounts of polution in the air, all cars with even number plates were banned from driving on monday. the next day the same rules aplied to odd numer plates for a 22 euro fine. air polution was down 60 percent after 5 days of intensifying smog.
diesel fuels are blamed in france for causing so much polution. a tax policy there makes diesels more populat than gas cars. diesels make up 67 percent of all vehicles in france, while in western europe, 53 percent are diesel. paris usualy has more polution than other big cities in europe. at one point, paris had 147 micograms of particulate matter per cubic meter. brussels had 114 and londan had 79.9.
recently, there has been a shift in how amercans are usin g there automobiles. as each year passes, americans are buying less cars and driving less. the miles driven in america peaked in 2005 and steadily declined ever since. in april of 2013, the amount of miles driven by a person on average was equal to where it was in january 1995.
in bogota columbia, there acr car free day frequently. in the capital city of 7 million people, only busses and taxis were allowed. authorities from other counties came to bogota to see what i was like without cars and were hapy about it. | 1 |
You should join the Seagoing Cowboys because, it would be an amazing experents to do. Luke also saw the world differently after he went nine times. They also saw some amazing things. You get to take care of animals. So if you like taking care of animals you'll like the cattle-boat.
Caring for the animals during the crossing kept Luke busy. It's an amazing opportunity that you'll get to do and have fun while doing it. You would also get to play games in the empty holds where the animals had been housed. Table-tennies tounaments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and games also helped pass the time.
There are some ups and downs in this journy. You have to leave your family for a few months. Life at sea isn't that easy. When it's raining make sure to be extra careful going up and down the ladders on the boat. You can get hurt or even thrown over board.
In the end it is all worth it. Going on this journy will change on how you look at life. It will make you aware of people of other countries and their needs. It will probably even open up the world to you. So if you sign up or your friend asked you to go with them. Just go because it will will be the time of your life. | 2 |
Is reading espressions by computers good
Everyone experences diffrent things every day no matter what they do. People may always be distgusted by going somewhere or even leaving something valuable for something thats not worth a probably a penny. A lot of people are happy for there own reasons might be seeing the sun shine. Or even hearing birds singing we dont need a computuer for these when we know how to read emotions. A computer desgined to read or emotions on calculate emotions, facial expressions, and impressive calculations no bodody needs a computer to read what we our feeling.
When someone asks if your ok from what they are seeing from your eyes face or acting they try to help they dont calculate emotions for someone. In paragraph 2 "how can a computer recognize the subtle facial movements we humans use to express how we feel?".
Do we type what makes us sad and a robot answers with a question or something silly or something out of subject for the answer. In paragraph 3 "The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles".
If it just looks at the human muscles than theres in issue becuase we could be hurt and not be sad, or something else it could just be we hurt something or just lost a tooth we don't need the calculations to tell us how we feel.
Facial expressions is when we are show if we are happy, sad, angry, and surpirisesd. In paragraph 4 " emotions are universal," observes Dr. Huang, "even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression" (like smiling broadly)." Everyone can read peoples expressions unless they just look the same everyday of the week. Therapists are trained for this to see how people are to read to see how they feel if they feel bad or good. In paragraph 4 "By weighting the diffrent units, the software can even identify mixed emotions (as in da Vinci's masterpiece)". The computer might be better for paintings made by people or even a pictures in a book, and games.
We can preform impressive calculations in our lives to help each other everyday. In paragraph 5
"For instance, you can probably tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look non her face." Not everyone is good at looking at facial expressions or how somone is acting out if someone takes the time to help there friends out or even somebody they can see that they can read emotions well enough without a computer.
The conclusion is we dont need machines helping us with our emotions. If we do we gotten lazy or even just they cant read it or they dont want to read the facial expression on there face. Some of us are glad we can help others for not ourselves without the help of tech we dint need tech in every part of our lives. What we need is people that can help or even want to help us out. The computer is looking for what we normally hunt for when making sure someone is ok we dont need it to calculate emotions for us, looking into our facial expressions, and we can perform impressive calculations on our own if we try to | 1 |
State Senator of Florida I think we should not keep the Electoral Collage and change to popular vote for the president of the U.S.A.There are meny reasons im against the Electoral College one is that I want to vote for the president and im not alone over 60% of voters prefer a direct election instad of what we have now. Now here are the other reasons im against the Electoral College.
Fisrt,in the story I read tittled "The Indefensible Electoral College:Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wroung" states that "Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole, the U.S Chamber of Commerce, and the ALF-CIO wanted to Abolish the Electoral College". Those are only some of the people that want to get rid of the Electoral College.
Thats why im with them against the
Electoral College.
Second,Over 60% of voters whould prerfer a direct election than the one we use now. The reason I think they whould want a Direct Election is that they are the one who votes for who they what insted of the Electoral College voteing for the canadate that the most people wanted. Say if you wanted to vote for canadate A so you do but more people like canadate B insted so the Electoral College votes for canadate B and canadate B gets the points for your state. Thats the second reason I think we need to get rid of the Electoral College.
They're still people out their who think that we need to keep the Electoral College and I cant change your mind but only tell you that there are things wroung with the Electoral College. One problem with it is that the electors can be anyonenot holding public office. Another problem with it is that each state only casts one vote, A single representative from Wyoming representing 500,000 voters whould have as much to say as the 55 representatives from Califorina who represent 35 million voters. Thats why I think we dont need the Electoral College.
In conclusion,Thats why I think we need to get rid of the Electoral College and go to popular vote. Because of the meny people who want to get rid of the Electoral College I think its just a matter of time befor we dont have the Electoral College any more someday we will vote for the canadates we want insted of the Electoral College. | 2 |
"The Challenge of Exploring Venus" article infroms the readers about Venus's harsh conditions and mankinds's curiosity to explore this unknown.
This curiosity has challenged The National Aeronaautics and Space Administration (NASA) to strive for a better understanding of Venus.
The author of this article supports this statement well enough, but could have supported his work better.
Throughout the article, the author describes the dangers of Venus explaining why exploration is diffiicult.
In paragraph 3, the author states, "These conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on Earth; such an environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquefy many metals," proving that Venus can not support human life or any of human technology.
The author describes the danger well, however, he/she does not address why Venus is a worth pursuit for discovery.
The author repeatedly uses the unknown aspect of Venus's physical attributes and humans' natural curiosity as the two main motives for exploration on this planet.
Paragraph 8 shows this by opening with, "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 intimidating endeavors." The author continuously uses those two factors as to why humans are so keen on pursuing this inhospitable planet.
There is a lack of evidence explaining why Venus is worthy of exploration but informed why we should be exploring Venus but the author describes the dangers of Venus very well.
To strengthen the author's suggestion, studying Venus is a worth pursuit despite the dangers it presents, he/she should have included details on what the planet can offer humans or given more reasons as to why humans are so motivated to explore our sister planet.
The author only supports the dangers of Venus presents well in his/her suggestion but doesn't support why Venus is a worthy pursuit in exploration well. | 3 |
This new technology is valuable in the classroom. This is due to the fact that it can recognize different facial movements. This then helps the software be able to tell what kind of emotion he or she is expressing. Knowing the emotion of a student on the subject they are learning, can really tell someone how that student feels about the learning process. This is critical because it will make the learning process of a student much easier depending on how they learn, and also depending on how they are in character. Using this new technology will help students learn in a much better way in the classroom.
A teacher in the classroom might not be able to look around at every student and be able to tell if the student is learning the subject well. Using this new technology could enhance the ability of a student to learn better. By recognizing if the student is confused, the computer will automatically modify the lesson. This is very critical because not every student in the classroom learns the same way as others, modifying a lesson based on how they learn could most certainly teach a student the lesson better. As stated in paragraph 6, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," after recognizing this,
the computer will then change the format of the lesson. Thus, making the student's comprehension better.
Students in every classroom vary not just in the way they learn, but also in their behavior. A student might not be able to express and talk about their feelings. There is always an introvert in the classroom who might be afraid to speak up. In paragraph 6 it is stated, "Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication," this means that the computer will be able to effectively understand what someone is thinking without the use of words. Using this system will help a student, who is not able to express him or her self clearly, use his or her's facial expressions as their voice.
Knowing the ways students learn could enhance their ability of learning that subject much better. This new technology is able to tell just that. Teachers can't go around to every student of every class and ask them how they feel about the lesson. Also, there is no need for an introvert student to speak up if they don't want to. This only puts them under a lot of pressure, thus decreasing the chances that he or she will learn. The use of this technology in the classroom could even add a sense of love for the subject. The Facial Action Coding System could make the way students aquire knowledge better and can make their futures brighter by simply reading their emotions. | 3 |
I believe it is very important to limiit car use on the road. People even are starting to sell their cars for example 70 percent of vaubans families do not own a car people say it is less stress full without a car and easier
There are plenty of other safe and eficent ways to get around town other then a car. for example bicyles,scother,walking and the list goes on and on. Also we running out of fuel we need to conserve what we have left it is very important to me that pople dont take avtange of this
People dont not realize this. There are also many advantes in limiting car use for eveyone in their own way for example by using less gass we can also help are planet which is very important caus people do not realize of think about what they are to doing to the earth for are next genaration to come overall we should limit car use and if every one does their you would be amazed on mush much of a difference and change we can make for the planet | 1 |
A world without cars is kind of hard to imagine right? Well not for most countreis anymore. Cars are becoming less and less desirable as the years go on. The peak was in 2005 and then has been slowly decreasing. Younger people like the ideas of cars but don't really need one. New York has subways, taxi's, and others are carpooling to destinations. France has alreayd issued a ban on cars and has even had certain cars banned on certain days. For instance, even number car plates could not be used for driving on Monday's, odd number plates were banned for Tuesday's. This was to help reduce the amount of smog in the French air as they rely mostly on diesel rather than gas. In Vauban, Germany street parking, driveways and home garages have been banned from neighborhoods. You could now only buy a house with a garage for $40,000. This cause more people to stop using cars, and others to sell them to live in the upscale neighborhoods. Many of the Ford and Mercedes car dealerships are considering changing their train of car producing to the newer ideal of intertiwning public transportation with the up and coming ideas of bikers on the rodes, and people using buses and subways instead of their own cars.
In Paris the smog in the air was soon thicker than it was in Beijing, China the citied known for its polluted air. Soon Parisian officials enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the smog. Monday's, motorists with even-numbered plates had been ordered to leave their cars at home or get a 22-euro fine, which is also $31. The same requirements were set in place for odd-numbered plates the following day. The first time this new ban was enforced nearly 4,000 dirvers were fined. Some even had their cars impounded for thier reaction to the new fine. The amount of traffic was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after the five days of an intensifying smog. The smog was caused by cold nights and warm days that caused the warmer layer of air to trap the car emissions. Diesel fuel was, of course, blammed as France has a tax policy for diesel fuel over gassoline. 67 percent of vehicles in Frane, compared to the 53.3 percent average of diesel engines in the rest of Western Europe. Paris would typically have more smog than the other European countries with the percentage of diesel fule they use daily. Paris had 147 micrograms of diesel per cubic meter last week compared to 114 in Brussels and 79.7 in London. Delivery companies lost revenue, but this starte an exception for plug-in cars, hybrids, and cars carrying three or more passengers. Soon the smog had cleared anouth on Monday for the ruling French party to take away the ban for odd-numbers plates on Tuesday.
The United States has long since been one of the world's prime car cultures. President Obama's ambitious goals to curb the United States' greenhouse has emissions, unveiled last week, will get a fortuitious assist from a incipient shift in American behavior. | 1 |
The world of cars is rapidily changing due to their emission of greenhouse gases. These gases not only are warming the globe as a whole but are more locally effecting the quality of air in our cities. Efforts are being made to lower the amount of gases and improve air quality such as Car-free day in Colombia and bans on driving in Paris. For Colombia the city of Bogota has built bike roads and nice sidewalks to limit the need or want to drive and ultimitely reduce smog. During their last year millions of people walked on their car-free day even when it rained showing that people want to make a difference and positively help their enviroment.
In some areas like Paris where pollutants are at 147 micrograms per cubic meter drastic actions had to made during its peak on smog. The city of Paris put a partial ban on driving reducing the smog by 60 percent.
Some communities like Vauban, Germany have created car free suburbs and building lifestyle around that. Instead of large suburbs like we have here in the States they have focused on making shopping within walking distance. People of Vauban have been reported to being less stressed and more happy after living in a car free community. However; this is not the most practical here efforts can be made to redesign how we live such as making super markets easier to access on an everyday basis and only buying the groceries that you need for a couple of days instead of a week or two. This trend has brought people from all over Germany to live there and has set a trend changing how other communites live there lifestyle.
Giving up cars has can build a better life for you and the planet by reducing pollution and lowering your stress but it in order for its full benefits it needs to be done as a community. | 2 |
Could you see a software reading your facial expressions? Do you think this would be something to actually look into and have in the future? Well honestly, letś get into details about the Facial Action Coding System and find out what it would actually do.
First off, I would like to get into paragraph four it had stated and I quote by Dr.Huang "Even though individuals often show varying degrees of expressions" this is something that can maybe interfer with the program what if the expressions are to hard to read. Also, stated in this paragraph the author is talking about the ¨video imagery¨ to recognition software it would track the facial movements. Would that actually be safe a software to basically record or video the movements of your face and show what is going on in that moment. Would people actually know when this software is up and running and videoing these peoples faces?
Now, letś get in more detail about this program and what happens when your in a classroom and it could show what youré actually feeling. Would you want a computer software to know what your feeling in that moment and it would also show your teacher how you felt about the project or assignment you were doing. This could actually be a huge disaster or it could be helpful to the teacher and students. Some students may feel down but show happiness instead of actually letting someone know their true feelings. This would actually be a huge help to the teacher to help the student feel better and see what is going on with them.
Therefore, would this actually be a good idea and safe or would this just be dangerous? Well thereś an answer to that question and it would not be a good idea.This article does not state when the kids would know when and if this software is actually on. Also, if you really read it toward the end it states ¨Putting on a happy face actually works!¨ ¨A renowned drama coach, Constantin Stanislavsky, had his actors carefully reproduce smiling and frowning as a way of creating these emotions on stage.¨ So, some people may or may not be coached and could actually trick the software. Nowhere in this article states that they could garentee 100% acurate results.
So in conclusion, this would not be okay for students some may actually get a few things past this program. This program cannot garentee the 100% accuracy we need to actually let this program go through. As I stated earlier students may have been coached to show a different side and could trick this system. | 3 |
Twenty five years ago a sacecraft valled Viking 1 from NASA took a picture of what looked like a human face. Eighteen years later Mars Global Surveyor took a photo of it that was ten times larger than the last one. This photograph showed that it was nothing more than a natural land form. Some people thought that it looked this way because of clouds. Finaly in 2001 Mars Global Surveyor took a second shot at it with a much better resalution. This one also suggests that it is nothing more than a landform. Some people still think this was made by aliens despite all of the evidence going against it. I think that it is just a landform because, aliens wouldn't know what humans looked like, it isn't that unlikely, and there are other things it could be.
My first reason is that aliens would not know what humans look like. If you think about it animals on earth don't look like humans so aliens wouldn't look like that either. Mars also has really bad conditions for life like us to survive. Plus aliens woul probably look even more different than animals because they evolved on a whole other planet. It is even more unlikely that they would just guess what we look like.
Another reason is that it isn't that crazy of a coincidence. A human face is only two dots with a dot centeered under neath them and a line under it. and this doesn't even have a very distinctive nose so its just two dots and a line. Its like when you look at the clouds and see what looks like animals or other familiar things. You know aliens didn't put those there.
My last reason is that there are plenty of other things this could be. It could just be some sort of landform. Espescially in the last picture you can see lines it it resembling something that was made naturally. It is kind of like a butte or messa on earth only this is on mars. This is most likely made naturally.
The chances that this was made by aliens is incredibly low. The first picture however, does closely resemble a human's face. The problem is that with each picture it looks les and less like a human face. Also the last picture was taken on a cloudless summer day. I dont think this was built by aliens because, aliens wouldn't know what we looked like, it isn't that unlikely, and there are other explanations. | 3 |
If you were a teacher trying to teach a class with over 20 people with different emotions, how efficent would it be to know how all of them feeling? You can do that with FACS (Facial Action Coding System), created by Dr. Pail Eckman. This system classifys 6 basic emotions. It can sense happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. This is good for teacher who dont understand how their student are feeling about the assignment they assigned.
Dr. Huang, says in paragraph four, "The facial expressions for each emotion are universal." He says, " even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression." Using video imagery, the emotion-recongnition software tracks these facial movements on a real face or even a picture. The author uses an example of the Mona Lisa painting by Leonardo da Vinci. They used the emotion-recongnition on the painting and it showed how Mona Lisa was feeling. It not only looks at how your smiling or how your eye are placed, it also looks at the structure of ur face and how your muscles move.
This creation can help lots of teacher all around the world understand and help students learn more efficently. Every single student learns differently and using this system will help teacher use their teaching time wisely. When student dont understand somthing this system can scan your face and tell the teacher what needs to be fixed to help the student understand and enjoy what they are learning.
Instead of teachers trying to help one student at a time they can help multiple students at once.
You can also use FACS not only in school but other places too. You can use it in work and also in everyday life if you wanted too. In paragrah nine the author talks about a renowned drama coach, Constantin Stanislavsky. He had his actors carefully reproduce smiling and frowning as a way of creating these emotions on stage. Just making different faces can revel a lot about the science of emotion.
FACS is the next big thing. Science has gone to a whole new level in helping our society. Using this system can help all kinds of people in different ways. I think this can help our world grow and learn new things. | 3 |
Studying venus is a worthy pursuit depsite the dangers it presents, because if you think about it venus is like the brightest light in the sky and also the second plannet from our sun.
The article talks a lot on venus, from trying to see why spacecrafts didn't stay up there long, how could they fix that, and many more. Studying venus won't be bad, you could learn a lot from it, probably things you didn't already know. In the text it states " Previous mission was unmanned, and for good reason,....... no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours". If you was to study venus , you could probably figure out why a lot of spacecrafts don't last up there. Despite all the bad stuff that happens on venus you could always look at the good side, like features. It's not always about the bad part of stuff it's the good part and what makes it good. In the story it states" ...... Venus was probably covered largely with oceas and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth.Today, venus still has some features that are analogous to those on earth".
So if you was to study venusv which is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers, you can think about the good part and you could probably change why spacecrafts don't last or anything else that's wrong ,but you should never let the danger stop you from learning something good. | 2 |
Obvously the aurthor must be a fan of scientific and that's great because I am to! The aurthor feels as if, there is multiple things you can do in life and thats means if going out your comfort zone to do it then so be it. In the story and as I was reading it, he really wants to find out more about earth and its "neighbors", as I should say. Venus and Mars are close to earth, but venus is closer, and the reason I say that is because of size and density. In the text, it says that we as humas, we have sent numerous spacecrafts to land on this cloud-draped world and the reason being is because we and he also, wanted to find out more about venus and how it works and many diffrent features.
Venus has a thick type of surface to it. It has a thick atmosphere of 97 percent of carbon dioxide blankets. In the atmosphere of venus, there is a type of acid called "Sulfuric Acid" and this acid is basically the determination of the temperture for this planet. The average temperture for venus is 800 degrees Fahrenhiet, and the atmosphere pressure is 90 times greater than what it would be on earth by its-self. Venus also has the hottest surface temperture of any planet in our solar system even though we have mercury closer to the sun venus is still hotter. The reason people and scientist are so fasinated with venus and how it works is because it was one of the closest to being more like earth and it has some features like it to. This planet has more like valleys, mountains, and craters and as a author he wants to find out about more of the festure and how this will benifit him more in life if he were to continue searching about venus and earth and how they are diffrent and similar to each other. By the 1800's the" mechanical computer" that was made for visual insight of venus and other planets around and near earth. These devices made caculations by using gears, and tool like things that hepled scientist in the 1800's up and somewhat past the 1940's.
So in this passage, the author gave me some information about the earth, venus, mars, life, merchury, and etc. The author basically is saying at the end of the passage, that if you were to go out your comfort zone to go explore things like earth and scientific material things, that it would'nt hurt and now that I know I feel as if the author will end up exploring more about venus and that is has some good feature and bad features and the same with earth but in reality it isnt bad. | 1 |
The face of Mars has been Mystery for many years. Ever sience the first picture of the face came out in 1976. Some people say it was made by aliens. While other say it is a natural rock formation. I am here to tell you that it is a nautral rock formation, by picture and other edivence.
The first pieace of edivence are the picture that were taken by Viking 1 and MGS, Mars Global Survey. In 1976 it looks like a face, but we didn't have the technology that we have. The first picture was 43 meters per pixel, which is a lot. Now if this technology advance we now get 1.56 meters per pixel, so if the face on Mars was really set up by aliens we would see their huts or anything else they built. The second piece of edivence is shadows, as you can see in the pictures it is just how the sun is position and how the statlite is postion to make it look like a face. The last reason is other natural sites that have the same size and looks like the face on Mars. The face on Mars reminds the Auroth of a place in Idaho. It is a Butte in the Snake river Plain. It is almost the same size and shape.
In conclusion the face of Mars is a natural site, and not made by aliens. I know because of the picture of the face of Mars. The new technology we used to get a better look at it. Lastly how other natural sites look like the face of Mars. | 2 |
The article, Making Mona Lisa Smile, the author tells about a new technology called the F.A.C.S. It stands for Facial Action Coding System. The system enables computers to identify human emotions. I think that the use of this technology, to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable. Yes, there are some aspects of the technology that cause some concerns to people, sure.
Though it may be difficult to except this new technology for some, but in my opinion I would have to say that I think this is a valuable form of technology. They gave the example of how they used the famous known painting by Leonardo da Vinci,
Mona Lisa. This painting includes the portrait of Mona Lisa. She is smiling in the slightest with her hair down and her emotions appear to be happy. The Facial Action Coding System (F.A.C.S.) used the painting to see if it could recognize her emotions. The results appeared to be "83% happy, 9% disgusted, 6% fearful, and 2% angry". Of course we cannot really know if that was her real feeling at the time but the system concluded that was what she was feeling at the time.
They make the point that we can tell if a friend of ours is happy, sad, angry, fearful, etc.. Though we can not tell for sure, and we definitely would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys all the possible emotions we have. The computer system would make it so we would be able to identify what emotions we were having if needed. The new computer software would store similar anatomical information as electronic code. The F.A.C.S. enables the computers to identify our emotions to an extent that we can not. The system would be helpful in many different situations.
If we had computers that could do such things as they said in office buildings, hospitals, etc..
it would help out a ton. In office buildings they could be used by many people to determine if you're happy with your job or what you're doing at the time being. In hospitals it would be helpful to determine how the patient is feeling. You could put one computer in every room to help and see if a persons facial expressions could tell how they feel at the moment. It would benefit the nurses or the doctors so they would know how often to check up on the patient.
The most helpful place they could be would be in schools. Many teachers give out assingments on the computer most of the time now. If we had the F.A.C.S. in our schools it would help to tell the teachers if we are learning. Our facial expressions give off a lot more information then we would think. As the author said in the article in paragraph six, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored" If we had the Facial Action Coding System, it could help the teachers by reporting to them if we seem like we either have the information learned or if we were having difficulties with the homework.
Our face tells a lot, according the the article and Dr. Huang. With the F.A.C.S most of them can all be told. It is a valuable system that most schools should have to determine the emotional expressions each student has. It could raise grades if the teachers would know if we were struggling just by the facial expression we make while doing our homework, test and projects. It is a very advanced system that could cause some problems for sure but the benefits would be outstanding. | 3 |
Do i think Facial Action Coding System would be a great idea. Yes i think they should try using the new technology. I feel that it would help, us humans more and better. Its so many daily problems that could be solved with this Facial Action Coding Sytem.
Like the criminal Justice system criminals wouldnt be able to get away with simple things rape charger would be solved easier all those thngs. Its so many rumors and lies the goverment has but we dont know if there true or not. Thats why Facial Action coding would help the Undited states in so manny different ways. Terriost in America would be caught and solved.
Alot of murders also happen because of relationships a bad break up, might not go as well as planned. Thats why with this Facial coding they would know whos lieing, whos no bieng honest and all. So my opinion on the Fcial Action Coding is yes give it a go see how many daily problems it solves. | 1 |
In this essay i amfoing to be talking about a claim for or against of using technolgy to read students and emotional expressions.
I would say i am on both sides. i say that because i think it could be a good thing but i also think there would be sone bad things with that too. One reason why it would be good is to see if the person is just not happy at all then you could talk to them and see whats going on with them. So you can see if you can fix it. Another reason why i think its a good thing is because it tell the peron your doing it to and you how there expressions are. I also fill like this could be a good thing because if the person is going threw a hard point in their life then this would be good. The reson why this could be good is because then you could help them out before they do anything to them self. another thing that this would be good for is if you r going to go do something and the other person has a expression on there face you cant tell how they feel about it then yoiu can use this technology to see if it bothers them or not. There was a claim in the story that they figured how the person felt before doing something.
Now, there is some reasons i think this could be bad. I think it could be bad because the parents of the kid or the kid himself may not like you doing this sort of thing on him. This is why im kinda on both sides because if they wont done to them I could understand that so thats why i think its fine to not do it if you don't want to. They might not want you to because they might just not want you to know about some of there personal life.
In conclusion, these are some of the reasons why i think it should be a thing and some of the reasons why i think it shouldn't be a thing. For the most part I am for it because i think this could help alot of people out. | 1 |
Automobiles are the linchpin of suburbs, where middle-class families from Chicago to Shanghai tend to make their homes. And that, experts say, is a huge impediment to current efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes. Passenger cars are responsible for twelve percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe, and up to fifty percent in places in the U.S.
Levittown and Scarsdale, New York suburbs with spread-out homes and private garages, were the dream towns of the 1950s, and still exert a strong appeal. But some new suburbs may well look more like the German town of Vauban, not only in developed contries, but also in the developing world, where emissions from an increasing number of private cars, owned by the burgeoning middle class, are choking cities.
In the U.S, EPA (the Environmental Protection Agency) is promoting car reduced communities, and legislators are starting to act, if cautiously. Many experts expect that the public transport serving suburbs, will play a much lager role in a new six-year federal transportation bill to be approved this year, In previous bills, eighty percent of appropriations have by law, gone to highways, and only twenty percent to other transport.
After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city.
On Monday, motorists with even-numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home, or suffer a 22-euro fine (31 dollars). The same would apply to odd-numbered plates the next day.
Almost 4000 drivers were fined, according to Reuters (an international news agency), 27 people had their cars impounded for their reaction to the fine. That's easier to imagine than a car-free Champs-Elysees (a famous street in Paris).
Congestion (car traffic), was down 60 percent in the capital of France after five-days of intensifying smog. the smog riveled Beijing, China, which is known as one of the most polluted cities it the world.
Cold nights and warm days caused the warmer layer of air to trap car emissions. Diesel fuel was blamed, since France has a tax policy that favors diesel over gasoline. Diesels make up 67 percent of vehicles in France, compared to a 53.3 percent average of diesel engines in the rest of Western Europe, according to Reuters.
Paris typically has more smog than other European capitals. Last week, Paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter (PM) per cubic meter, compared with 114 in Brussels and 79.7 in London, Reuters found.
Delivery companies complained of lost revenue, while exceptions were made for plug-in cars, hybrids, and cars carrying three or more passengers. Public transit was free of charge from Friday-Monday, according to the BBC.
The smog cleared enough Monday for the ruling French party to rescind the ban for odd-numbered plates on Tuesday. | 0 |
You guys should be a Seagoing Cowboy beacause you get to travel around the world. First you would want to go because the article it says "Luke had also found to have fun on board, especially on return trips after the animals had been unloaded. The cowboys played baseball and volleyball games in the empty holds were animals had been housed. Tabled-Tennis tournements, fencing, boxing, reading whittling, and games also helped pass the time." Another thing is that "
It was 1945, World War 2 was over in Europe, and many countries were left in ruins. To help these countries recover their food supplies, animals, and more, 44 nations joined together to form UNRRA(the United Nations Relif and Rehabilitation Asmmintration). UNRRA hired " Seagoing Cowboys" to take care of the horses, young cows, and mules that were shipped overseas. So Luke and Don signed up." Finally " It took two weeks to cross the Atlantic Ocean from the eastern coast of the United States and a month to get to China. Caring for the animals during the crossings kept Luke busy. They had to be fed watered two or three times a day. Bales of hay and bags of oats had to be pulled up from the lower holds of the ship. Stalls had to be clean." So it will be very fun to be a Seagoing Cowboy some may be hard work but you should try it one day. | 1 |
I think that by reading a person's emotions is not the best way to know if the person is depress or happy. If a person wants to be happy all day let them be , and you can tell by thier face exprestion or by the actions they do through out the day..In paragraph three it's showing us by saying "
raise your eyebrows when you're suprise ; your orbicularis oris (around your mouth)tighten your lips to show anger" every person that i know off knows that .Why tell us information that we already know ? I get the person that trying to state there claim is trying to give us evidence and examples. In paragraph four it's telling us that when the software is tracking the persons emotion it shows them how many emotions they feel even if there mixed which agin doesn't make no sence for me because you can totally know or tell just by the person face expressing they do. In the very top off the article of mona lisa's picture you can totally see thats shes happy,ferful. And i only looked at the picture for some secounds which makes no sence of why i'll need a device to tell me how she feels. In paragraph six it's showing us that if your in a classroom confuse a teacher can stop the lesson and tell you which part you don't get . Which is good at some point it's not because what if the teacher stop because of one student and then seconds later or minutes later the person changes to a complety different mood . At the end i think that there's no need for you to know if the person if feeling bad or happy .What if the person is feeling not so good because of family issues? As a person , we wanna just move on and not remind are self of what just happen because it'll make us more disapointed then we already are. I think that less technoloy makes people less crazy and less stressful. The new technoloy is going way to far for this to just makes this up and just imagin something even worst that they made up off. | 1 |
"Unmasking the Face on Mars" is an article about a natural landform on Mars that some people believe to be created by aliens. The Face has been scientifically proven to just be a landform called a butte or mesa. According to the article, some people think that the Face is bona fide evidence of life on Mars, which is evidence that NASA would rather hide, say conspiracy theorists. I think this is illogical because in the article it states that defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an acient civilization on Mars. I am here today to support the idea that the Face is just a natural landform.
One fact to support the claim that the Face is just a natural landform is in the article. In the article it says that some people think that the Face is bona fide evidence of life on Mars that NASA is just trying to hide. If this were true why would defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars? They would not! That is why I believe the idea of the life on Mars to be illogical.
A second fact to support the claim that the Face is just a natural landform is in the article too. In the article it says that the first picture of the Face was taken in 1976, back when photo quality was not so exceptional. In the 1976 picture of the Face, I understand that it does look like a face, but in the 1998 picture the quality has became a lot better and it does not look as much like a face. Then again in 2001, there was another picture taken of the Face. In the 2001 picture of the Face, the quality has again risen and distinctively shows that the landform does not look like a face and is just a butte or mesa.
A third fact to support the claim that the Face is just a natural landform is again, in the article. In the article it says that the Face has starred in a Hollywood film, appeared in books, magazines, radio talk shows, and even haunted grocery store checkout lines for 25 years! I think this is why many people believe in all sorts of different conspiracies, because there all kinds of different books and more written about different beliefs. Today, people believe anything they read in a book or see on tv, that is also why I believe this. Who would you rather believe, books, stuff on tv, and other things, or scientifically proven facts?
In my opinion, it does not matter what you believe, but I support the truth. I would rather believe in the science, not people's opinions. Would you? If you want to be the logical person, you would be able to comprehend that the Face is just a natural landform. Scientifically proven information or opinions, pick your side. | 3 |
Driverless cars will soon come into the human race and take over the driving so that all the human will have to do is be ready in case there is a miss moulfuction. The world is getting lazier and lazier as the driverless cars get popular in some states, however, in other states the driverless car is illegal to have and test drive the driverless cars. Driverless cars would be great to have but what would power them. Would they be solar powered or battrie powered, if the were solar powered and you needed to got do something and it was a cloudy day with no sun? When the driverless cars come into the human world are they going to be a big hit or are they going to be a flop? If human don't have to driver unless they have to it will give people more tme to do work if they need to. If some one worked for a big newspaper it would give them just a little bit more time to get a story done compared to when they had to drive to work.
If some one needed to be to a certin place in a rush would the driverless car be fast enough to get them there? Could the driverless cars be wifi capatable, however, that would put the price of the driverless car at an even higher price. Driverless cars are driven by a binary code, what is the probability of some one hacking into the control system and cause the car to do what they want it to do and not what the driver wants to do. The driverless cars have the antilock breaks so that could be a plus if it hit a slick spot in a major snow event. Will the driverless cars be two wheel or four wheel drive, if they are four wheel drive the driver could go almost anywhere. Driverless cars could help in wars becuase the commander could lead his troops in to battle and what if the tanks where driverless then it would give the fighter in side more oppertounity to fight out side the tank insted of in side of it. Drivers around the world would probobley enjoy a little more freedom in the world of driveing. The police force would not have to worry about drunk driveing and texting wile driveing. | 1 |
Luke who was just a regular person in the world but during world war ll lukes life changed. His friend conviced him to being a "Seagoing Cowboy" And when Luke took the invite and he knew it was an opportunity of a lifetime.
It was 1945, World War ll was over in Europe, and many countries were left in ruins. To help these countries recover their food supplies, animals, and more, 44 nations joined together to form UNRRA (the United States Relief and Rehabilitation Administration). UNRRA hired "Seagoing Cowboys" to take care of the hores,young cows,and mules that were shipped overseas. Luke and Don signed up.
They received their orders to report to New Orleans. "We arrived August 14, " Luke says, " the day the Pacific war ended. " With a cargo of 335 horses plus enough hay and oats to feed them.
Luke turned 18 before arriving in Greece, which meant he could be drafted for military service. "When my draft board learned that I was on a cattle-boat trip, they told me to just keep doing that for my service. " By the time he was discharged in 1947, Luke had made nine trips_ the most of any Seagoing Cowboy.
"The cattle-boat trips were an unbelievable opportunity for a small-town boy, " he says. "Besides helping people, I had the side benefit of seing Europe and China. But seeing the Acropolis | 0 |
In my personal opinion, driverless cars should not be developed due to the serious situations of computer failure, driver alertness, and legal conflicts. Each of these factors can have significant effects, from wrecks to law suits. Completely driverless cars may be a problem if these issues aren't addressed or taken into full consideration.
Computer systems on driverless cars seem to be complex and sophisticated in comparison to modern-day cars. This can be a positive, but it can also pose as a threat. If the computer system breaks down, the driver may not have time to react. How will the driver have the ability to take control in a broke down, completely driverless car? This is especially true if the driver has taken advantage of the relaxation involved with these cars and falls asleep. The driver may not even be aware that the system has failed. Plus, the complicated set up would make it an expensive, difficult system to repair.
Alertness is the most important element of driving, as described in the article. Yet, driverless cars would eliminate some of that awareness through entertainment systems. Yes, the in-car system's ability to shut off in case of an emergency is ingenious, but the driver won't be immediately prepared to take over in some cases. In addition. it's important for the driver to be on the look out for hidden patches of ice and other weather-related conditions that the driverless cars may not sense. Another example includes road construction. These instances require much care and caution, and a driver must know what's going on in order to reverse any mistakes the car wants to perform.
If an accident were to occur, the article mentions legal disputes: "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault--the driver or the manufacturer?" Through my eyes, that is a controversial problem to solve. Would the driver be accused of just not paying attention? Would the manufacturer be sued for a programming mistake? It can lean both ways; the driver could've been too distracted (but that's what the entertainment systems are for) or the manufacturers were inept for the task of building such a complex car. This is a debatable topic, and I don't believe it would be worth the time and money to come to a resolution.
In conclusion, driverless cars can still be a danger despite all the sensors. What it boils down to is driver awareness, which cannot always be helped. Instead of making even more drivers unalert with entertainment systems, we should concentrate on teaching drivers to be aware of their surroundings in all situations. Not everything can be solved through a technologically-advanced smart car, but many problems can be avoided if there is a driver operating in full control. | 4 |
Throughout the years, computers and other technological devices have become very developed. Due to this, human interactions have lessened due to advancements in social media and other technologies. In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" the author describes a new technology that enables computers to identify human emotions through the Facial Action Coding System (FACS). This system can help build the computer's capacity to understand human emotions in which benefits to humans through the comprehesion of their emotions can occur, like students in a classroom. The author of the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile," Nick D'Alto, gives a couple reasons why the FACS technology can be useful for students in a classroom: helping students to understand difficult topics and helping students to connect with the computer in order to learn more efficiently.
The use of the new FACS technology is valuable to the students in a classroom due to the student's understanding of a difficult or confusing topic. In the article, Dr. Huang, a college professor at the University of Illinois who is working on the development of the FACS technology with another professor, explains, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored. Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor" (D'Alto). With computers understanding the emotional expressions of students during their comprehension of difficult or confusing topics, the help students gain will help them to learn more efficiently and become a better, smarter generation of students and adults.
Another reason why the use of the human emotion indentifying technology is valuable for students in a classroom is that the student may have a better comprension of topics when connected to the computer. It is known by many people that all students do not learn the same way because our minds are not the replicas of one another. Some students may learn better when working hands-on; other students may learn better visually with pictures; many more students may learn better when typing or writing down their notes neatly. Even though there are countless ways a student can learn, the environment in which a student works and learns in may not be suitable for their style of learning. Some teachers may want all their students to take hand written notes, yet some students have to type their notes. Though, the use of the FACS technology can help the students who need to communicate with the computer along with getting a better understanding of the topic at hand, and now that "most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication...computers need to understand that, too" (D'Alto). Students being able to learn better with their desired style of writing and the computer being able to comprehend and analyze the student's emotions can help students struggling in their classes to work harder and improve daily.
In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile," Nick D'Alto, the author, explains how helping students understand difficult topics and helping students connect with the computer to efficiently learn topics with the new Facial Action Coding System (FACS) can be useful and valuable for students in a classroom. As society continues to grow--with the technologies and machines--the students of the newer generation have to keep up with the constantly improving machines in order to be successful. This seems impossible because the rate at which society and the world is improving is at a speed that seems impossible to keep up with, so improving computers and other machines to help improve the rate at which students can grow and learn can possibly help the future generation of adults to be successful in a world full of metal, SD cards, and algorithms. | 4 |
To be fair,both the electoral college and a popular vote are good ways to decide an election. Although,a popular vote may have more pitfalls than the latter. The electoral college is definitely the best way to pick a candidate without much confusion. The electoral college may have some down falls too but the benefits out weigh them.
A popular vote also has some benefits. In Richard A. Posner's passage
In Defence of the Electoral College he states,"The electoral college is not a democratic method it is the electors who elect the president not the people"(source 3 p15). If this was our voting method the people would be choosing the president, not the electors. Plus the people dont even know the electors their voting for. In the passage
The Indefensible Electoral College author Bradford Plumer states,"The state picks the electors [and the voters dont even get to pick who the electors vote for]" (source 2 p 10). Basically the people have no control over who they elect.
Indeed there maybe limited control for the people over voting for their canidate;but the electors usually pick whoever the people voted for. The electoral college also is a easier way to decide who wins the election. Theres almost no way there can be a tie in an elctoral vote. Richard A.Posner states,"The winning canidates share of the electoral college invariably exceeds his share of the poplular vote"."[Even if the popular vote winner wins by a little he wins all the electoral votes]"(source 3 p 15).Which means there is no confusion as to who wins.
Not only is the electoral college more organized; but it makes the president have to appeal to many regions of people. Richard A. Posner states,"[Not one region has enough votes to win an election so the president has to be liked by other regions as well]"(source 3 p 19).This means that at least half the country must like the candidate for him to win. Swing states are also important in the electoral college. These states are the ones that really care and study who will be the best president. Another statement from Richard A.Posner states,"[People in swing states decide the election and] are the most thoughtful voters"(source 3 p 20).So the candidate must be trying to make sure they please the people.
The people may like a popular vote the best,but the most organized and beneficial way to elect canidates is through electoral college. The electoral college not helps with organizing it helps people know the candidate. They know the candidate because the candidate must go to each region and get to know the people. | 3 |
In my option I think we shouldn't have driveless cars becasuese a moufunction can happen in the vhelic and make the person crash, What if something happens to on of the sensors?
I can't imagine a time in the future when no one needs them anymore becasuse I'm sure no one wants to wait until one of the Taxis are free. I'm the type of person thart doesn't have the patients to wait until a taxi to come pick me up. What if you want to have a latenight drive and taxis drivers don't allow that? What if someone ges irrritated because the taxi driver has a very monotone voice? What if hacker hacks into someone driveless car and kidnaps them by driving their smart car to a whole new destination.
In the passage in paragraph 3 it says, "These smart-road systems worked surprisingly well, but they required massive upgrades to existing roads, something that was simply too expensive to be practical." That means it would cost a lot of money to fix every single road just so a driveless car could go. And that means it has to be a debate on if everyone argrees with it. Im sure everyone does want to keep spending their money on a taxi and they have bills to pay. That's like annihilating all of the vehicles in that area.
In paragraph 5 it say " In the 1980s, automakers used speed senors at the wheels in the creation of anitlock brakes." So it took them 10 years just so they can make a more advance senors for thr speed. I'm sure its going to take longer for manufacters to make roads, just so driveless cars can ride on. It also say," Further improvements in sensors and computers hardware and software to make dricing safer are also leading to cars that can handle more and more drving tasks on theur own." The future cars are going to be incorrigible. They're going to have more control then humans would.
In conclusion, these are some reason why we shouldn't have driveless cars. Like why would someone want to abandon a brand new car they just bought or a very old car that could be worth a lot of money? Remember the future is not the answer. | 2 |
In the article,"The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author thinks despite many dangers that Venus has and what Venus is capable of doing, the author thinks it is a worthy persuit. I will give evidence on why I think the author gives good support on his idea.
For example."Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth.(P4)" I used this example because it explains how Venus was probably covered with water and most likely supported forms of life and finding out that there was once or still is another form of life on another planet and how there was once an ocean or still is an ocean is fascinting for discovery and a worthy persuit. Another example,"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 likley lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors.(P8)" I used this example because it tells how if we strive hard enough to face and cope with the challanges presented to us by Venus, has a reward which is value like research and inisight of the planet.
In conclusion, I used these examples and explanations above because it shows how the author supports his idea on why persuing the exploration and study of Venus is worthy and could have value to our knowledge. | 2 |
Have you ever thought that technogly could see how you feel?
In the article they said that Mona Lisa is 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. The scienests also said that according to some new computer software that can recongnize emotions. The people that created this software for the computer is Thomas Huang of the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science. He made better ways for humans and computers to comminicate. Thomas Huang said that the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face, all 44 major bones in the model move like human mussles.
What did they do to make the Mona Lisa look different? What the have done here
is weighting the different units, this software can make mixed emotions. The new computer software stores simliar anatomical infomation as electronic code. The Mona Lisa demonstration is really intened to bring a smile to your face. Just imagine a computer can tell if your happy or sad, for example if you smile when a web ad appears on your screen a similar ad might follow.
At home are Pc can't handle the complex algorithms used to decode the Mona Lisa's smile. Do you think that in the mirror suggest an emotion? It's all about those muscular action units. The can see the difference between a genunie smile and a forced one. In a false smile the mouth is stretched sideways using the zygomatic major, a different mussle, the risorius. According to the Facial Feedback Theory of Emotion, moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but also may even help produce them.
In the end all we talked about here is that technogly has gone along way to make people happy, sad, and mad. They are making new ways that can show weather you are fake smiling or have a real smile. They also made it to were thet can change the Mona Lisa to not look so mad. So after all the technogly has involed a lot to making people happy, sad, or mad. | 0 |
Intro:
I know some people would love not to have to drive cars around and that's all well and good, but what people don't understand is that driverless cars are dangerous in my opinion. I would rather be safe driving in a car, than to be riding in the car with no driver
Body:
Let's just say that if someone driving a regular car and someone were in a driverless car, it would be the person in the driverless cars fault. Why? Because they don't think they did anything wrong and that they're following the driving laws. I don't think the person that was actually driving in the normal car is at fault, they may seem old fashioned but at least its safer.
Being the cofounder of the Google company doesn't mean you know everything, especially about transportation. This is just an idea but it doesn't mean it should actually happen. I understand that some people love cars that drive for them now but at least they still have steering power. I do however like that cars can brake for you when you're not paying attention. And I know that even driving in normal cars is dangerous, but its much safer being behind the wheel than to be just sitting in the car doing nothing.
Driving shouldn't be fun. It should be about learning, and to me learning isn't very fun. Driving to me should be a symbol of growing up not so you can go pick up your friends and go out. Maybe on some occasions, but overall its just a means of transportation from one place to another. But hey, this is just my point of view.
Conclusion:
Some people may not agree and call me crazy, but at least I know I'll be safe when I'm actually being the steering wheel. I would rather not see so many people in the hospital or dead because they wanted to not have to drive to their destination on their own. Driving isn't a terrible thing, it's when people start getting fed up is the terrible thing. | 2 |
Now you may be in favor of the Electoral College but sir I'm here to change you mind. Why are so many people in favor of this process maybe because they can guzzle up your money , my money
OUR
money . I say lets go with popular vote not some elector in a monkey suit. We let them have a "winner-take-all" system as stated in paragraph 7 from an excerpt from " What Is The Electoral College ". Why do we need make the District of Columbia like their own state , why should we go threw all the hassel of putting certain numbers of electors for each state when we can just go with popular vote. The vote we have.
Why do we need such an abomination for voting, when we can all vote for the person we want to win the election not, just some group of electors Democratic or Republican so they can vote for us .
We as the
PEOPLE
should have the right to vote for our selves. It's such a crazy process ,we could just as easly mess up who we voted for , it's not always very clear .
WE
dont even really vote for our Electors. "Well who does ? " you ask. The state conventions ,sometimes the state party , sometimes even the presidential candidates themselves. We should be lucky that the 2000 election was the biggest crisis in a century ; but this process could end up getting much worse like in 1960. The segregtions almost led to no more Democratic electors. We still proceed with all evidence as to why we shouldnt have Electoral Colleges.
We do have democratic electors but the Electoral College is a very non-democratic process. People in favor of this say even since 2000 when Gore had more popular votes than Bush but fewer electoral votes it hadn't since 1888 . We are the the people we should have a voice that rings loud and clear , not one who whispers under the big booming voice of the people the higher leaders think have a bigger say. We should be the majority not the minority. Even in favor of the Electoral college you can see the many flaws that have come about the age old process. You have the swing states that follow a "winner-take-all" method.
Then we have the big states that use some of their large states. like in Florida the 2012 election the state had a very close popular vote and got 29 electoral voates. Then it came down to Wyoming with 3 electoral votes and it took all.
Now I hope you can see why We should toss the Electoral College out the second story window. The vote's come to close to call in a lot of these runnings. The people we vote for can always turn their backs. Plus it just gets to caiotic to handle even when we treat the district of Columbia a state. Even the people with the popular vote get tossed out the window. The Electoral College should be put down , and Replaced with the Popular votes of the Us citizens. | 2 |
The author suggestes that we keep on exploring Venus. They want Venus to be another planet that humans can live on. Scientist believe that Venus was a livable planet back than. But the conditions are bad that even space ship can't even land there.
Scientist have sent numerous spacecraft to land on Venus. None of the spacecraft have survived the landing for more than a few hours. Scientist have been saying it's been a difficult challenge to overcome. Every mission thyey have done has been unmanned. In the story it says, " Numerous factors contribute to Venu's reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study, despite its proximity to us.
Venus has a lot of bad conditions for humans to handle. In the story it says, " such an environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oocean and would liquefy many metals." Humans can't handle a lot of heat temperature but in Venus it has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system. There's a lot of lightning strikes and powerful earhtquakes. | 1 |
Do you honestly believe that aliens created the Face ? Twenty five years ago spacecraft was snapping photos of landsites and spotted a shadowy likeness of a humans face. A Mesa.
First, they saw an enormous head which seemed to be staring back at the cameras from the Red Planet called Cydonia. When seen by Mission Controllers, they let off shockness. Shortly after the surprise the sensation was long gone. Few days later, the Nasa invielded the image. The caption said " huge rock formation". This resembled a human head formed by shadows with the illison of eyes, mouth, and a nose.
Next, Authors reasoned these images would be a great way to engage Mars and the other people; it did. The "face of mars' became a huge icon for twenty five years. Soon it dtarred in films, was seen in books and magizines and most favored in grocery store lines. Photographing Cydonia beame a priorty for Nasa when MGS, Mars Global Surveyor arrived agian in September of 1997 which was a long eighteen years after.
Then, April 5, 1998, MGS traveled over Cydonia for the first time. They met Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camer team (MOC) snapped a picture ten times better the the original Viking picture tooking. There were thousands of anxios and very curious web surfers waiting to see tghe amazing phoyo revealing a natural landform , there was no alien monument. Aliens didn't create the image illison. As rule thumb, you can discern things in a digital image three times bigger the the origianl size so if there were other objects, you would be able to see them.
In conclusion, what the pcture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or a messa which are landforms around the American West. | 1 |
Good Morning Alabama Studio
"Hello and welcome to Good Morning Alabama I'm Russel Terrier" says Russel.
"And I'm Brittany Spaniel and we're here with sea cowboy Luke Bomberger say hi honey" says Brittany.
"How you do" says Luke as he tilts his hat.
"Now Luke I think we're all wondering what it's like being a seagoing cowboy" says Russel.
"Yes do tell doll" says Brittany.
"Well I mean it can be hard at some points taking care of all them animals and scooping bunearu all day but I love it" says Luke.
"Well sounds interesting well I mean not the poo part, but you know the rest" says Brittany.
"Yeah, did you get to see any interesting things while you we're at sea" says Russel.
"Well yeah I mean the job did have some good sides to it" says Luke.
"Like what" says Brittany.
"Well I got to ride a gondola in Venice, see a excavated castle in Crete, and I got to see the Panama Canal" says Luke.
"Well that sounds great!" says Russel.
"It really was amazing to see everything and be able to have fun on board the ship even though some of us got sea sick" says Luke.
"Oh wow what type of games" says Brittany as she flips her hair.
"Oh Brittany don't go budding into everything he does" says Russel.
"It's ok, We just played some simple games like table-tennis, fencing, and boxing just to past the time" says Luke.
"Sounds like fun" says Brittany.
"It really was a great experience" says Luke.
"Would you reccomend it to anyone" says Russel.
"Yeah, I would it was great to see the amazing things, take care of animals, and still have fun on the way" says Luke.
"Well if you keep talking like that I might have to join" says Brittany.
"Haha Brittany you wouldn't make it one day with out crying over a chipped nail" says Russel.
"Oh that was one time Russel" says Brittany.
Luke gives them a weird look as they had their little fit. They peered over at him and sat back down.
"Oh my good heavans I'm sorry we didn't mean to fight" says Brittany.
"Oh it's fine we used to fight like that over the one good hammock to sleep on the rest had some holes" says Luke.
"Well how did you settle that" says Russel.
"We just held a tournament of some sort to decide" says Luke.
"Well that seems like fun" says Brittany.
"It reall was and we had such a great time out on the sea and getting to help the people" says Luke.
"I'm sure it was" says Russel.
"And I really hope y'all will join me on our next sea expedition" says Luke.
"Well it looks like that is all the time for today" says Russel.
"I'm Brittany Spaniel" says Brittany
"And I'm Russel Terrier" says Russel
"And this is Good Morning Alabama wishing you a happy Monday" they say together. | 1 |
Everyone has their own opinion about everything, for some people they think that some things that they imagine to be a bad idea, might be very good for economy, or for other issues, some other things that you think is a good idea, might be really bad for the environment, but thats just your opinion, and its okay. There are many thoughts about this subject, which is about the Electoral College. The Electoral College in some cases is a good idea, and in some cases, to some people, its a bad idea. If you do not know what the Electoral College is or means, it is a process consisting of a ceratin selection of electors that vote for President and Vice President in the election, by counting electoral votes by Congress. Im here to tell you all the information you need to see what your opinion of this topic is. Lets read a little more about it.
As most of you know, the presidential election is held every four years on the Tuesday afer the first Monday in November. This is when there are two candidates running to be President of the United States. You would think it would just be you, the people, but theres actually other people that vote too, called the Electoral college. You help choose your states electors when you vote for your President, the reason why this happens is because when you vote for your candidate you are actually voting for your candidates electors.
Under the Electoral College system, voters vote for the state of electors and not for the president. The state of electors elect the president. The electors are bacically anyone not holding public office. The people who pick who it is, can be chosen from variaties of places. It could be the presidential candidates themselves, or it could be the states party central commitee, or it could be the state conventions. Each state only casts one vote. The Electoral College is unfair to voters becuase of the winner take all system, Candidates dont spend much time in states they have no chance of winning in. This pretty much proves that the Electoral College is very cruel and unfair.
The Electoral College has a very wide range. it spreads all through USA and each state has a different number of electoral Votes. Each party selects a bunch of electors trusted to vote for the partys nominee. The Electoral College requires a presidential candidate to have trans-regional appeal. no other region has enough Electoral votes to elect a President. The votes can be very close to the same number of both candidates, and thats a tough situation. Voters in presidental elections are people who enjoy expressing their opinion on political news, rather than people who dont give a say in the elections. | 2 |
I am for the driverless cars. I beleive that these driverless cars will help decrease car accident rates, some driverless cars use less gas fuel. some people believe such cars would change our world, and i agree.
Driverless cars can help decrese car accident rates as i mentioned earlier. In the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming", it says in paragraph two " Google has had cars that could driven independent under specific conditions since 2009." These cars has driven more than half a million miles WITHOUT a crash, then again Google cars havent truly been driverless.
The driverless Google cars modified Toyota Prius have lots of sensors that are located on the left rear wheel, a rotating sensor on the roof, a video camera mounted near the rearview mirror and many more. Theese cars are safe they have to be safe the driving law focus on saftey for the passengers, drivers, and pedestrians. some cars have sensors in the front and back that will break for you so you wont hit another car. That will help the drunk drivers fromhitting teen drivers and killing them.
Driverless cars will come in handy they are safe, and harmful. Drivers will still be able to control their cars. These cars will alert you when you need to take control , when you need to stop or they will stop for you. Cars that can drive themselves and keep drivers from hitting others equals a safter raod for young drivers. | 1 |
As times keeps passing new technologies seem to come around very often. From new cars and cellphones. To fully solar powered houses and computer controled homes. technology seems to be benefitting us. But what about the students? A new form of technology has been develope that is able to detect exactly how a student is feeling. But is it a good thing ? I beleive it is.
in today's modern day there is new software that has been developed that can detect a persons emotion. This is called the "Facial Action Coding System". This softerware is said to be able to contribute to a students learning ability. The article "Making The Mona Lisa Smile" presents the idea of a classroom using this technology in order to benefit a students way of the learning. In paragraph 6 of this article it reads, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored, ... Then it could modify the lesson , like an effective human instructor." This expresses the idea of a more productive instructor that can help a student based on how they feel and individually help a student.
This new software could elevate the quality of learning. A normal classroom only contains one teacher in charge of various students with different needs. Each with a different style of learning. A computer system that can help each and every one of those students learn in their own way could be very benificial since the way they are being instructed is based on how they feel. The " Facial Action Coding system" is agood thing for our students and should be involved in our students leanring. | 2 |
Throughtout history times were different, technology was not advanced and emotions were hidden. People adjusted, became comfortable with their current situtions and never knew how others truly felt. This lack of knowledge lead to wars,confusion, and dispositon in our schools, states, and government.
Using the Facial Action Coding System in the classroom will be very affective. Not only will it help the students, it will improve lesson plans and become a positive impact.
Using the Facial Action Coding Systems in the classroom will be very affective. Teachers will now be able to adjust and intervene with their studnets who don't seem to understand the lesson plan. Also this creates exposure and can appeal to studnets emotions in a sympathetic way. Having the data and capability to intervene with students is vital because you never know what a kid pehaps maybe goign through. As instructors it is not always about the job but how can we successfully make this students day better. This tool can prevent school shootings, bullying and even slef harm. Just a simple acknowledgement can go a long way. In many ways this can have many beneifts.
Futhermore, this device can be used to change the atmosphere of the classroom. You may be asking what do you mean by this? Changing the atmosphere of the classroom simplying means to make the students feel safe and comfortable. For example the student maybe struggling in a particular aspect of the lesson plan, using the Facial Action Coding System can define the emotion of the point where the student is a flawed at. Using this evidence can be a tool to help the student so that in the future they may understand. In the text it says "The facial expression for each are universal'. This portrays hows each feeling is connected to one another in order to make a change. The text also says "... individuals often show varying degress of expressions'. So perhaps the student may not feel what it says it is still good to have that information.
Lastly, this device can not only help the students but the teachers as well. The teachers are the leaders of the classroom. With this infromation teachers can use this information to better help th students. The device as the text says can "signal mixed emtions". It can captivate and expose what relly happens in the classroom. Teachers can often check on students to see how they are doing on a personal level. Having this information can potentially cause students to expond on issues and seek ways to get help.
To be brief, this tool can be affective and used in a positive way. It can be valuable to a great range of areas that need to be touched on. As a developed society we have all the knowledge at our fingertips. Let's implement these things to make our students and teacgers happy, our classrooms more efficent and safe and be a tomorrrow for our future. | 3 |
A new technology called the Facial Action Coding System allows computers to recognize emotions. As mentioned in the article, this technology can be useful in many formats; including psychology, art, and acting. Reading human emotions can be beneficial in some areas, but it is not valuable in the classroom setting because each student learns differently, computers should not be used as teachers, and the cost is not worth few benefits.
In the article, Dr. Huang predicts that with the new technology, the computer can recognize when a student is confused or bored and change the lesson to fix it. While this seems helpful, not every student learns the same way. A lesson that some students will understand, other students will be confused on. It would not be fair to the students who understand the lesson to make it easier because they might become bored, which the computer would then have to modify the lesson more to fix. The Facial Action Coding System is able to read human emotions, but it cannot satisfy the need of each individual student in a classroom. This technology also is not valuable to the classroom because a computer instructor is not valuable to the classroom in the first place. Computers should not be used as teachers because it can unemploy teachers, completely change the education system, and possibly bore students. The education is fine as it is without adding a foreign techonology for students to adjust to. This system should not be implemented in schools because of budget costs, also. The technology is probably expensive and is another thing the school would have to budget for and taxpayer dollars would go to. Recognizing emotions is not important enough to be worth that amount of money.
All in all, this technology is not the most beneficial or valuable device to be using in the classroom. Because of the cost, different learning styles of students, and familiarity of a human instructor, the Facial Action Coding System should not be put into a classroom setting. While this technology is helpful in other areas, it does not have worth in the education system. | 3 |
Somethings are difficult to explain because you can never be sure. There scientific explanations for different things already, but some are harder to explain. There is a picture that was taken by NASA's spacecraft Viking 1 that shows a shadowy likeness of a human face on the Red Planet known as Mars. There has been many discussions to what it could be some believe it was created by alien life and others think it's a natural landform. There has been different date collected to supported these claims. I'm a scientist at NASA that has been researching this topic and I believe it's a natural landform.
When people don't have an explanation for something they beginning to make things up. When it came this picture they asumed aliens. Since it's on Mars it's difficult to think otherwise. Also many things like the internet and magazines wanted publicity, so they changed the story to be more interesting and give the people what they wanted. I can see why they would think that because there really wasn't much to explain what it really was.
The Face on Mars was something people couldn't explain right a way before being sure what it was. Since it was in Space things like meteroids could have been a part of forming the Face. People tend to make conclusions to quick and not think it through very well.
The "Face on Mars" was talked about alot and it's quite breathtaking. The picture they captured of a "face" is just a natural landform. When people sat in the Jet Propulsion Lab and they saw the image, it was just formed by shawdows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth. It was natural formed. Over the years many things have occured that have changed many things that occur in the world around us. Technology is so advanced that we are able to send satelites up into space to help us and to see what else is out there. They send spacecrafts and rovers up into space on Mars and on the Moon. It's just another Matian mesa common enough around Cydonia, only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh.
On April 5, 1998 Mars Global Surveyor flew over to Cydonia and saw more clear pictures of the "Face on Mars" they saw and it showed no alien monumentment. There were no signs that it could have been created by aliens. In the year 2001 they captured an even better picture that allowed them to fully see the Face and collected more data on it. What the picture actually showed was the Martian equivalent of a landform common around the American West. Scientist at NASA say it looks similar to the Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho. That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars. That proved once agian that it's a natural landform. There could many explanations to what formed it.
There is always going to be thing we can't explain or control, but with new technology and advancements in our world more of those unexplainable things won't be. We are the new generations and we can accomplish so much. We are always going to be discovering new things and have new things to explain. There is so much more beyond this plantet and all the other ones. Things out in outerspace may remane a mystery for quite some time, but not forever. We are close to making a breakthrough. Who knows what lays ahead in the future, but I can't wait to find out. | 4 |
You ever sat out one night or just sat outsides for a couple nights and noticed the brightest star in the sky and ever wonder what it may be and the name of it well lucky enough you kust might be looking at one of the brightest stars in the sky. This star is called a venus is one of the brightest points of light in the light sky. In htis essay i will talkin about the challenging of exploring venus , by the end the understanding and the point of view will be changed.
In this first paragraph I will further give extended details and further elaborate on what venus is. Venus is the second p[lanet from our sun . Venus is easy to see at nighy only because how bright it is and how it stands out. but you will hardly ever get to see it closely you will more than likely see it better from a distance and that's what makes it so difficult and challenging and what makes the oppurtunity for me to be able to further explain why it is challenging . Venus is also the closets planet to earth in size and density. According to the article it says "often referred to as earths twin venus is the closest planet to earth in terms of density and size". This further and explains more on venus giving a better and more constructerd uderstanding of venus. | 0 |
Driverless cars
The point that the article is making is that should we have cars that can drive themselfes, in my opinoin i would say no because it would cause so much disstortion and everthing would be in a heave of trouble. What we would be doing is we would be taking away jobs for people that live off of driving people places, or we would be spending so much money trying to make these cars, and also what would happen when the went out of control and no one could stop them then what would we do.
The idea of people losing jobs dosent sound right for me because i know how frustrating it is to lose many jobs and it isn´t easy. And something else what would stop those people who are mad and ticked at the idea that they just lost their jobs to a bunch of robots, that wont go so well because they will probably start rioting in the streets and that will just cause more of a problem´s for everone.
And also you would have to conceder on how much money they would have to spend to keep making those types of cars, it will probably cost millions of dollars for just one state. So they would be spending more money on making the cars than they would be getting so it seems that it would be a waste of time on what this idea has in store.
What other problems would happen if something went wrong with these cars like to say if someone missed up with the programming it could cause a lot of problems across the united states because so many car crashes would be happening, and that would bring so much panic through out the nation. so that is another reason why not to.
So what is the article stating is if we should have cars that control themselfs. there is to many if´s for me to say that we should like i can see that there are good parts to this like to say that we wouldn´t spend so much many on gas and it would be safer for the most part. But my answer is still no because we cant alwas y just think that since it is technology we are safe will that not alwas the case and we have to learn that. So no we shouldn´t have cars that drive themselves. | 2 |
Many scientist have trouble on learnig more about Venus. It may act like it the brightest light in the sky but it`s not the easiest to study. They have a rough time try to discover it because they don`t have the right materials to study the planet. They have sent numerous spacecraft to the land on this clound-fraped world. All of the spacecrafts that have tried to land has never made it back. They have no evidence on what`s on this planet.
Scientist have tried to discover venus but they fail everytime. Do you think it`s because of how thick the atmosphere is with carbon dioxide? The air on Venus is very different that Earth. It makes it difficult because the clouds are filled with highly corrosive sulfuric acid and the average temperature is 800 degress Fahrenheit. The human body can not survive in that type of weather. The environment on venus would crush a submarine with how hot it is. Scientist compare the pressure and the heat to a erupting volcanoes. Will they ever figure out a way to do more studys on Venus.
As more and more people study Venus,they want to figure out how to get there. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has one particulary compelling idea for spending humans to study Venus. They may have came up with a idea to float above the fray. They want the vehicle to avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and away from the ground. The temperature would still be pretty hot but not as hot as the ground tempertaure. The temperature in the air would be around 170 degrees Fahrenheit but the air temperature would be close to the sea level on Earth. As many people study this idea,they will think that the human body would be able to use this method instead of going on the land of Venus. Could you see this happening in the future or not?
Other researchers think that Venus is to inhospitable to visit. They think that many years ago that Venus was just like Earth but they have no evidence to support the claim. On the other hand,how could Venus be like it is today and it like Earth years ago. Did Venus move that far away for it not to be a living place. The planet is a rocky sediment and has valleys,mountains and craters. I would say within a couple of years,scientist will have enough technology to discovert his planet. Would you ever live on this planet if they discover that it is a living place.
With all the evidence and support that scientist have,can Venus be a safe place to live. I think within the next couple years we will truely know what kind of planet it is. Scientist do a good job on studying the planets and any other things they study. I just don`t understand how it was safe man years ago and not anymore. The technology will help us study and get more information we need. I hope to see many people on the Planet Venus in the next couple years. | 2 |
should we have less car usage in the U.S.? The answer is yes because it could stop alot of the pollution going into the atmosphere. This could help with the green house gases going into the ozone layer and harming the earth.
One reason that we should cut back on car use is because of the green house gases going into the air. In Europe passenger cars are why 12% of green house gases arer from there. But the U.S. is even more responsible for the woping 50% in somer areas here. So if you were to cut back here that would be a good thing so you can cut back on the pollution. I bet if you were to use bikes instead of cars it would cut back on the 50% of green house gases here. For example take a look at NewYorks bike-sharing program helped out the mobile world so think about it.
Another reason is a lot of people really like the fact that not having cars is a great factor to the earth. Just take a look in Germany in the town of VAUBAN residents of this town went from being minivan driving soccer moms to people who feel at ease because thw willingly gave up there cars. Which a lot of people cannot do just like that. 70% of the families in Vauban do not own cars and about 57% sold there cars just to move there which means that they all willfuly gave up there automobiles just to stay in that town and that has cut back on a lot of pollution in Europe. In the passage a women says "when i had a car i was always tense. I am much more happier this way."
so in conclusion, i belive that giving up your car to cut back on pollution just like they did in Europe is a great idea because quite frankly. I think we would be in a whole better situation if we did. This would mean a lot of the green house gases in the ozone now would not get added onto. so to me bike are a perfect way of doing this or even walking is a good substitution. So after i've explained everything are you in or out? | 2 |
We all know that driving makes life easier in terms of getting from point A to point B, but there are also many benefits that come from not driving or maybe not even owning a car. Not driving proves to affect the community in a positive way such as: less polluted air, happier people, and less congestion on the roads.
A study in Paris showed that the less drivers there are on the roads, the less smog there is in the air. France uses diesel and they tend to have more smog than "other European capitals" (par.17) who use gasoline. So by cutting the amount of drivers on the road, it also cut the amount of smog in the air. People used the roads less due to the amount of smog in the air and when there were less poeple on the road, there was also less pollution in the air, making for clearer skies. Also, in the United states, the percentage of people getting their licenses and of those who own cars has gone down in recent years. "If the pattern persists... it will have beneficial implications for carbon emmisions and the enviornment" (par. 34). Just like in Paris, the fewer people driving, the better our enviornment gets as the years go on. Alternatives to driving could be walking, using "public transportation", or biking to get to the places we need to go. These alternatives can help us "save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve safety" (par. 43) which are not only beneficial to us, but to our enviornment as well.
In Germany, there are certain places where you are not permitted to own a car and if you do, you have to pay $40,000 to be able to park it in a garage along with the payment of your house. Obviously, not many people are going to want to pay that much money, so they get rid of their cars in order to live in those parts of town. Not owning a car can even reduce the stress levels of some poeple and make them happier in the long run. A "mother of two" stated "when I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way" (par. 3). So maybe this whole not owning a car thing is not only good for the enviornment around us, but also for our physical and mental well being. Sure, driving is nice, but it can be very stressful when having to deal with all the careless drivers around us and all the rules and responsibilities that driving entails.
Not only will less driving improve our enviornment, it will also result in less congested roads. "Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after five-days of intensifying smog" (par. 14). No one likes having a polluted enviornment around them, and the more pollution there is, the less crowded roads will be. The clearer the roads are, the clearer the skies around us are. In conclusion, driving does have its benefits, but not driving has even more, such as: the ability to keep our enviornment healthy and clean, less congestion on the roads, and happier people all around. | 3 |
In the exepet to support his clam the author explains all the problems and things wrong with exploring Venus then goes into explaning ways that'll help fix those problembs. But his plain back fired because it just doesn't at all seem like it'll ever happen any time soon.
In paragragh three it is explaining why it's so dangeros to go. it is 97% CO2 in the air, the tempertatur is over 800 degres Fahrenheit, the air has asid in it, and the presher would crush a sumberen which is made for high persesher. All of paragragh three just doesn' help his case at all.
In paraghrah four the author then goes intpo how its better to move ingto Venus rather then to mars bc of time it takes to get to mars. Well if Venus is so dangarus then why even think about ging there. Nasa already has been on Mars abd its the safest to go on. The author should have explainded more reasons as to why its better to go to Venus then mars.
However the author did explain ways as to deal with those problems that Venus prsents to us. on of whitch is how if the drones fly higher then the presher is lower as well as the temp. Buthe then goes into how the drown still can't take video or pictures of the planit becouse the desity of the ari is so bad below its unfotoghraghiball. which defets the point of adding that in if its usles. its just nonsene thats not needed to help his claim.
Thought that part was unneeded in paraghragh seven it talks about an idea of a new drown that'll be able to stand three weeks on the grown on Venus. That there is good evidenst to support his claim.
To conclud the author may have given all the eviens he could but most of it was not good evidents to support his claim of going to Venus even thought the dangarus. | 2 |
There are many advantages to limiting car usage. There is smog in densly populated areas that is affecting peoples lifes. They can get deathly ill because of it. We need to limit car usage because of the harmful thing that can come from it.
In dense cities there is smog that is polluting the air and making it hard to breath. If you live in an area like this for a while it can get you really sick. It can give you lung cancer, amonia, and many other things. Living in a place like this has been proven to be almost the same as being a smoker. It will hurt your lungs very badly. Breathing this air can also make the quality of life alot worse. It can make you depressed, or angry and can cause alot of other problems.
Limiting car usage will save alot of teenage lifes. Teens between the ages of 16 and 21 have the highest death rate for drivers. Limiting car usage can save many lifes. It will also save teens and adults alot of money. Paying for gas, car repairs, and for the car itself can save alot of money. There are many people struggling to live with a nice car. If they did not have to pay for that car or the gas for it it can greatly help them. Not paying for gas alone can put food on the table.
These are some of the advantages to limiting car usage. It will save many lifes from cancer, car wrecks and alot of other things. It can also help poor people feed there families or help pay for there house. There are many advantages to limiting car usage and i feel it would help alot more than it would hurt to stop using cars. | 2 |
Isn't it crazy that a face on Mars would be created by aliens? NASA sure seems to think it is. Many sciensts have discovered it's a natural landform.
The face on Mars is indeed a natural landfom. NASA has had the Mars Global Survayor fly over Cydonia and take pictures to prove it, as Jim Garvin has said,"We photographed the Face as soon as we could get a good shot of it."
Many people will say that the face on Mars was created by previous creatures living there. The planet humans live on, Earth, even has landforms that humans didnt make that just happen to look like faces, As Garvin says,"It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho." The face on Mars is nothing but land that has been formed in the shape of a face.
The face on Mars has been proven to be a landform. They have taken pictures, the scientists have studied it, and all these studies have proved that the face is just land. In conclusion, sometimes things aren't as they seem. | 1 |
The author of this work is in favor of taking on the great challenge of landing a "rover" on Venus for research and exploration. Venus has many extreme conditions that the earth does not have to endure. The author presented many "solutions" to these problems. Although plausible, the creations would be impractical and would not produce ensured results. The author's support for the idea of exploring Venus is mediocre at best.
Being the second-closest planet to the sun provides for some nearly impossible conditions for human exploration. With Sulfuric Acid in Venus' atmosphere, and surface temperatures being over 425 degrees Celcius (about 700 K or 800 F) , the likelyhood of humans on Venus is nearly nonexistent to begin with. To combat the hot temperatures and the acidic atmosphere, NASA proposed the idea of a "blimp" that floats above the planet's shell. Although the blimp could survive high in the air, the practicality of if is not present. Having a blimp that cannot touch the planet is not going to help scientific research at all. While being above the clouds of Venus, it is impossible to see the surface with human eyes. Seeing the surface would require technology that uses light from the electromagnetic spectrum with a high frequency and short wavelength. It is also impossible to collect rock samples from the planet for soil examination. This idea would not be beneficial enough for the risk of investing a lot of time and money.
An additional idea that was brought up by the author was "Silicon electronics." Siliscon electronics would be resistent to the harsh conditions on the planet-- for a while. The systems would run for about a month before total failure. these silicon systems are very expensive to bein with and are still in the development phase here on earth. Creating enough silicon circuits to power a rover or vehicle would take years to manufacture. And by the point of satisfactory innovation for silicon electronics, a new product may have been presented.
Lastly, a "cave-man" idea of mechanical computers came into play. These basic forms of work require no fragile electronics at all. Using gears, levers, pulleys, and ramrods, corporations have been able to create many devices. When made out of an acid-resistent substance that can withstand high pressure, a mechanical machine may work. The only problem with a mechanical machine is that once on the planet, sure it can do work, but it would be unable to transmit and data findings back to a receiver on a ship or earth. There would be a point where some sort of electronics would be needed. And as of right now, there is not an effective enough invention that could put humans on Venus to live and research.
The author of this article is trying to push a principle that is not fully developed yet. The reasons that were provided may work after many years of design and development, but right now, none are practical. A combination of the three presented ideas may actually work the best. Use a blimp to float above the planet, tie a cable to the blimp that connects is with machanical machinery, and use silicon electronics to transmit the findings. Damage could be repaired by raising the equipment back up to the blimp. Innovation does not come easy for those who are in charge of it, but ideas like this are needed in providing an answer for a difficult question.
Overall, the author's arguments do not satisfy the overall risk and reward stakes. After more time passes, maybe he will write another article depicting what will work for sure. The support was not presented in a way that was convincing enough to dive right in to this new frontier of space. | 5 |
As you may know many people believe that a aliens have created this "face". I am here to inform you that it is not. First of all if aliens did create it w ewould have seen some in the picture/s, secondly there just isn't any/enough evidence to prove the accuisation, and lastly we, as NASA have plenty of evidence that this was not created by such cretures.
First of all there is not way that this face was created by living creatures. If they did we would have evidence like seeing forms of some type of homes or just the creatures themselves should have shown up but indeed none did.
Like in the passage "Unmasking the Face on Mars" it includes "So, if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!" But in fact there was nothing like this noticable in the close up photograph. The text also includes "that it was a natural land form. No monument at all."
Secondly, people with these conspiracys have little to no evidence that there could be any living life on face/mars. They wouldn't stop with their theories so NASA took it into consideration and went out there again, even though it is beyond hard to find it.
But it was on a sunny day. Still, there was no sign of living creatures nor aliens. However In the passage it states "Some people think the face is bona fide evidence of life on Mars-Evidence that NASA would rather hide, say conspiracy theorists." Which I could see why some people would believe that NASA would want to hide amazing information like that. They could think that the people of Earth are not ready to quite that out yet. Then again thats just a bunch of non-sense. If scientist did find another place where living creatures could live, that would be a big discovery. Too big to even hide.
Lastly NASA has a lot more evidence to prove that it is jsut a natural landform other than a hidden alien planet. Like one thing from the article is "A few days later NASA unveiled the image for all to see. The caption noted a huge rock formation...which resembles a human head...formed by shadows giving the illision of eyes, nose, and mouth. The authors believed it would be a good way to engage the public and attract attention to Mars." Also the author includes "Scientist figured it was just another Matian mesa, common enough around Cydona, only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like a Egyptain Pharaoh." So there is much more evidence to comply with NASAs theroies than the conspiracys.
In conclusion its pretty obvious that this is just a natural formation made to just look like a human face. The evidence makes it a clear choice. So this "face" is just a landform and we all have to come together and learn how to accepted what it gives us because no matter what its not like we can change it. | 3 |
I think the use of this technology to read the emtional expressions of the students in a classrooomis valuable because how do we know if a student is learnng or being bored in class.
Another example," In fact, we humans perform this same impressive "calulation every day. 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 conveys happy, worried, etc. Yet Dr. Huang observes that artist such as a Vinci studied human anatomy to help them paint facial muscles precisely enough to convey specific emotions. His new computer software store similar anatomical information as electronic code." This in formation helps us understand that even the you can smile you could be lying about it. having practice anatomy like da Vinci and this technology can help understand how people feel in certain situations, like student's in a classroom.
The reason for having this type of technolgy can be very helpful, in some cases like school or in a classroom. For example," Th facial expression for each emotion are universal, obeseves Dr. Huang, even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression(like not smiling as broadly). Using video imagrey, the new emotion - recognition software can even identify mixed emotions( as in da Vinci's masterpeice). Each expression is compared against a neutral face(showing no emtion). And thats why I think it is improtant to have this kind of technology to understand if a student or person is or is not understanding in class. This could help not only the teachers but the student themselve understan how they feel and why.
I think it is important to have this technology to read students' emotional expression, because know can for sure no if you're lying when yu say yes or if you do or don't understand anything that is happening. This is why we should have this technology. | 2 |
Electoral college should be changed to election by popular vote for the president. Because of electoral college electors tried changing votes in favor of the opponent because sometimes they werent located where they wanted to be. Passage 3: In defense of the Electoral College states that the electoral college is a non democratic method of selecting a president that ought to be overruled by delaring the candidate who receives the most popular votes the winner. On passage 2:The indefensable electoral college says under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of the president.
Electoral college should be replaced withe the election by popular vote for the president because electoral college is causing to much crisis. For example, on source 2: The indefensible electoral college says that if you lived in Texas and you wanted to vote for John Kerry, you'd vote for a slate of 34 Democratic electors pledged to Kerry even though you are not voting for electors just for John Kerry. Electoral college makes you or forces you to do things you arent aware of.
If electoral college replaced with the vote of the President i'll find it pretty fair because I dont think the President of the United States is going to cheat on the election of the electors. Every vote should be fair. Since electors can be anyone the electoral college process seems unfair to me. on source 2 says that the best argument against the electoral college is what we might call the disaster factor. People should be fair when voting. | 1 |
Do you think theres a real alien artifact on mars? Well if you do, im sorry but there isn't. Even thoe "the Face on Mars" may look like an alien artifact, is just a natural land form. There are many of these in Cydonia and they're called Martian mesas. This Martian messa looks as if it's a face because of its unusual shadows that creat the illusion of eyes, a nose and a mouth.
In April 5, 1998, when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michale Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera team took a picture, that is 10 times sharper than the orignal one tooken by Viking 1, of the face on mars. This picture finally revield that there was no face on mars, but a natural landform.
This didn't satisfi many people. They thought the alien markings where hidden by a haze, since that was the time of year where that part of mars gets clody. So on April 8, 2001, a cloudless summer day in Cydonia, Mars Global Surveyor took a final look. Then, when they finally found it Malins team captured an extraordinary photo using the cameras absolute maximum resolution. Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo.
What this thing actually is is " the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa" which are landforms common around the American West. This was simply a chance for NASA to get a little money. | 1 |
It is a wounder to imagin how or who made the Face on Mars but there is more of a sicentific explanation to it than "aliens". It would be intresting to know how things like this happen on our plantes and why.
Conspiryacy theorists who say NASA is hiding something about life on Mars are wrong because defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilizaiton on Mars. It is also very simaler to a butte or mesa. Those are lava domes, like the ones in Western America. NASA has also found that the eyes, mouth, and nose are all just shadows.
Although it looks like a face, its really just a couinsidence. And even if aleins caved it out of the rock there is no way of telling it was them. It doesn' mean for sure that it wasn't carved in, but for now conspiryist can be at rest. | 2 |
About 25 years ago, NASA's Viking 1 and Viking 2 spotted what seeemed to be a giant face that resembled an Egypt Pharoah. Could this be an alien artifact? Haha,..nope just a natural landform.
Only a few scientist thought that the face was an artifact, but as soon as NASA heard this the made it a priority to go back and photograph Cydonia once again. Jim Garvin says "We felt this was important to taxpayers. We photographed the Face as soon as we could get a good shot at it." (Paragraph 6) This mean if it was an alien artifact NASA would have made money and benifited from finding this.
However, when Michael Malin went back and photgraphed this again it revealed only a natural landform.(Paragraph 7) Later when others went back again to photograph it they were fortunet enough to get close enough to get a clear picture. (Paragraph 10)
The picture acutally only shows the Martian equivalent of butte or mesa, which are landforms common around the American West.(Paragraph 12) Too bad for all those scientist who thought this was an alien artifact. We still have to wait a while before we can prove that there have, are, or will ever be aliens on mars! | 2 |
Dear Mr. Senator,
To keep the Electoral College or to change the election by popular vote is the question many people are facing today. There are many different reason why we should keep, and same for as why we should change it. I believe we should change the election from the Electoral College to popular vote because, with the Electoral College people are voting for a slate of electors not an actual presidential canidate, it is unfair for our American people, and most people prefer the popualr vote.
By voting for a presidential canidate you are actually voting for a slate of electors who vote for the presidental canidate. This means that our votes don't really count for much. It also means that even though we voted for someone the slate could have voted for someone completely different. Also we the people have no idea who the electors are. Who even picks them? The electors that are chosen depends on the state, sometimes it's the state conventions, sometimes the states party's central committee, and sometimes it can be the presidential canidate himself. Some voters didnt even see campaigne ads, so how did they chose their presidential caidate? They didn't, the Electoral College did.
America is suppose to be a free state, that is fair, but are we really? The Electoral College is one thing I can point out as unfair. Most states have a "winner-take-all" system, that awards all electors to the winning presidential canidate, but what if the people didn't want that candiate? Why should he get our way of speaking to the government? How are we even sure that he didn't elect himself? Also canidates don't spend time in the states they know they will have a chance of winning because of biasim. They mainly focus on the tight races in the "swing" states.
In reality we all want our way, or our voice and or actions to make an impact, with the Electoral College that's not happening, which is making the people of our country unhapy with the government, which means we all can't get along. Most people prefer elections to be based on popular vote so they know they get what they want, so they know they're actually making an impact.
With this being said, I believe I have made my impact on your thoughts of the question, " to keep the Electoral College, or change election to popular vote?". The Electoral College has both it's upsides and it's downside, but I believe it has more flaws than perfections. Yes, it has been around for many decades and is apart of our histroy, maybe it worked then, but it's not working now. And we need to make a change before things get worse.
Sincerially,

The face on Mars is just a natural landform and not created by aliens. One reason this is true is because natural landforms occur all the time, even on earth. Another reason this statement is true is because when NASA was taking the photographs they did not see any alien life form anywhere.
The face on Mars is just a natural landform because natural landforms occur in earth too. One reason this is true is because on paragraph 12 Garvin states "It reminds me most of middle butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho." Therefore it proves that landforms a natural occurence in planets.
Anothter reason the face on Mars is just a natural landform is because when NASA was taking photographs they didn't find alien life form. This statement can be true because in paragraph 11 it says that,"As a rule of thjumb, 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 could see it." So this can prove that there was not any alien life form in Mars, therefore the face on Mars is a natural landform. So the face on Mars is a natural landform. one reason this could be true is because natural landforms occur on earth too. A second reason this could be true is because when NASA was taking photograpghs they did not find any alien lifeform. With this evidence their is prove that the face one Mars is just a natural landform. | 2 |
My postion on driverless cars, is that it is a great idea that somwonw created.
There are some how ideas that are stilll being thought of and created.
Things are still be deveploed and have not come out yet until 2020.
What Google is trying to do is, make it to where no one has to drive anymore in the future.
Google did make a somewhat of a driveless car but you would nees to take control of the car when you pull and out of the driveway, or dealing with complicated traffic issues.
They thougt tha making a driveless car was not just only the car but also making a smart road as well.
The road worked very well but there would then that would mean massive upgrades to all the roads.
In 2013, BMW annouces the development of "Traffic Jam Assistant." the car could only handle a scernt amount of speed under traffic, but sersonrs make sure that the drivers hand is still on the wheel.
Which in that case means that the driver is stilll going to have their eyes on the road.
The google car would just announce when to take over the car.
In the result to the driverless car, laws are starting to be made on the safty of the car.
In most states it is illegal to test computer driven cars.
Laws will soon be needed to cover tecnology fails if somonw was to get hurt.
Who is at fault, the driver or the manufacturer. | 2 |
Dear Mr. Senator, I am not in favor of the electoral college because it doesnt allow the peoples vote to be sincere "we the people" is what our country is based off of and by having the electoral colloge set in place we cannot be the people. We are endowed certain rights and freedoms by the government and getting a vote is one of them but with this electoral college propaganda we cannot not give our sincere vote that counts. Truly I do not understand the electoral college to an extent that some do but i dont have to. I know enough to know that this system of voting is unethical and not right. Anyone in there right mind will know this is a terrible system of voting.
For example barrack obama should not have won and wouldnt have won the second time if it werent for this scrub system of voting.
Much like taking this test we are waisting our time. We are endowed by our creator certain unalianable rights that cannot be taken away. There is a lot wrong about our government and elecoral college doesnt strike the surface. It is foolish to think electoral college is the biggest problem america has. Not just america but the world. The world is falling apart and all these hypocritical media people are freaking out over the electoral college. They need to grow a pair and take off their mini skirt and open their eyes a little bit. Riches on earth mean nothing. Moth, famine, and thieves destroy here. But riches in heaven is what matters. This country would never even have became independent if it was run by the people who are running it now. First of all this country was founded on God and now the government wont even allow us to have a Christmas party in schools because the word CHRIST is in it. They want us to have a "holiday" party instead. they will all see one day. On judgment day. All we can do is pray for them because thats all that can help these distranged men. Love Joy Peace Patience Kindness Goodness Faithfullness Gentleness and Self-control ol ol. Love joy peace patience kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness and self-contol o ol.
Ok i am missing weightlifting class to write some bogus essay that doesnt even count. really you are really making us do this? this school district sucks and everyone knows it. everyone.
its time to let go of the mini skirt and grow a pair. and become a school district that actually allows us to learn. | 1 |
Are driverless cars safe? To me it seems kinda risky. What if the car malfunctions or somerthing bad happens. Then who's fault is that? Also, if they put driverless cars on the street we would have to make a lot more laws. Things like age limit on driving one, if you'd need a license to operate one, and if you could operate one under the influence of anything. I think there would be just a lot of rules, regulations, and problems for a driverless car.
So my positon on driverless cars? like I said in my indroduction; I think driverless cars would just be to risky. i mean if they functioned perfectly with no malfunctions or anything they'd really come in handy, and would be of great help to a lot of people. I think they would be of great help to handicapped people, or Veterans injured in the war, or people who aren't able to drive at the moment. But
you would also have to know how to drive, because stated in the text, humans would need to take over in some situations. So, basically the car is limited to some driving abilities to like pulling out of the driveway, or through roadwork accidents thats when the human will have to take control.
To support my decisions; In the text The google car simply announces when the driver should be prepared to take over. They can steer accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are desinged to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents. So that means the human should always be alert and be ready when the situation occurs. Also, GM has developed driver's seats that vibrate when the car is in danger to backing into something, so I'm guessing the human will have to take over there instead of the car saving itself. Other options are flashing lights on the windshield and other heads-up displays, but what if the driver was death or blind? Some heads-up displays they wouldn't know, and also why I think the cars are risky.
In conclusion like I said before the cars could be of great help. Also, the cars would be really cool and great. It's just those heads-up displays, and the human would have to be alert at all times ready to take control. In additon to if the car malfunctioned or something; Then what? Who would there be to blame? Lastly, there would have to be whole lot of new Laws, rules , and regulation put in place for driverless cars, and that's why I think driverless cars would be risky. | 2 |
Driverless cars are not a good idea. There are many reasons why having cars that drive themselves is not a good idea. Driverless cars could be a danger, they could make the public less adept with driving skills, and finally they could ruin the fun in driving a car.
Sure, the idea of driverless cars sounds great but technology is not always the most reliable piece of equipment in the world especially if its new technology. If the driverless car malfunctioned think of all the trouble that it would cause. Driverless cars could end up being very dangerous to the everyday community.
The passage states in paragraph one that Google cofounder Sergey Brin can imagine a time in the future where no one buys cars and they all use the driverless variants. If that time really came and children were growing up their whole lives having a car that drives them everywhere without controlling it I believe there skills as a proactive driver would be greatly decreased. In the passage it also states that cars can not completely handle all situations, such as traffic and workzones, so if these problems arise the driver must take over and if the driver has less skill behind the wheel than say a seasoned driver in todays day in age it could cause trouble with the driver not knowing exactly what to do.
Cars have always been something that I really enjoy, and not only just to look at, driving them is one of the most fun activities that I do. Reading the passage about driverless cars basically tells me that the only plus for having a drivleress car is that you have to do a lot less work than you would in a normal human driven vehicle. This shows me the only reason to have a driverless car is to be lazy and I personally believe that laziness is not a good thing.
Driverless cars have a place in the world but I do not believe they have a place in the everyday community. The cars would be a danger, a hinderance on driving skill, and finally something that would kill the fun in being behind the wheel of a car and driving. | 3 |
The solar system has many interesting planets and those planets have many interesting landmarks. The Face on Mars just happens to be one of them. The face was found in a region of Mars called Cydonia. I feel as though it is a coincedence that a natural landmark on our neighborring planet looks like a human face. Many people say that The Face on Mars is just a legend, but we have scientifical proof of a face on Mars. The Face on Mars isn't an alien creation, but it is a natural landmark.
The Face on Mars is a natural landmark. It's a natural landmark because not only has it been there for a long time, but over the years we have found that it is a natural landform not an alien monument(JPL website). Many Hollywood movies have used the term "that face on Mars," but many people think that the face is evidence of life on Mars. Some scientists have compared the face to landmarks in the USA called buttes or a mesa. Many people also say that the face resembles an Egyptian Pharoah.
On the other hand, some people specifically NASA has used The Face on Mars as a way to show that some things are important for taxpayers to see. Like I mentioned before Hollywood has made many big selling movies about The Face on Mars. Also, many books and magazines have used The Face as a headliner. Some NASA defenders has said that they wish there was some sort of an ancient civilization on Mars to use as a motive.
The Face on Mars is a cool natural landmark. It was located in Cydonia an area of Mars. The Face isn't a legend at all. There is real scientific proof of a face. The Face on Mars isn't a hoax either. Many people think that it is a legend and a hoax, but it is a real natural landmark. The Face on Mars is not an alien creation, but it is a natural landmark. It deserves some attention. | 2 |
Driverless Cars Is The Future
The future is coming our way. Many automotive industries have began manufacturing the "driverless car". I believe that driverless cars will bring many positive reactions, and that the idea of a driverless car is very intelligent. Driverless cars will be a good benefits for the drivers and for the manufacturers.
Driverless cars are beggining to be manufactured in many industries. Google already developed cars that could drive independently in 2009, but they are not completely driverless. This is just the beggining of their creation. Google says that their, "cars have driven more than half a million miles without crash". Which is a lot if you think about it no crash in a "million miles", thats incredible. Google's driverless car still alerts the driver during traffic issues and when pulling in and out of driveways, but like I said this is just the beggining of their development later on in time they will probably will have all the minor defects fixed.
Although in the present time there is traffic laws that are written saying that the only safe car has a human driving it at all times, and driverless cars are not allowed in certain places. When the driverless cars are proved more reliable in safety there will be new laws covering their liabilty.
Driverless cars would benefit the driver. The driverless car would only use have the fuel of today's taxi. This is a great benefit in the drivers perspective. They would not have to pay all that gas money, and we all know that gas is not cheap. We waste so much money on just paying for gas when we could be using that money to purchase other things. The driverless cars tha thave been developed can, "steer, accelerate and brake themselves". Which is great this would allow the driver to relax during driving.
The current driverless cars have sensors that can detect danger. Meaning that when the car is driving and it detects something dangerous in its way the car will reduce power from its engine and apply its brakes, "allowing far better response and control than a human driver could manage alone". Meaning that the technology can work that well under pressure while humans cannot.
In conclusion I am fro the development of driverless cars.Our technology is so advanced right now, imagine in the future how good it will be. The driverless car is safe and provides many benefits for the driver and the developer. By providing the driver with less pressure about driving and saving gas money. The developer of course would benefit from all the cars that would be sold. The driverless car is the future. | 3 |
I think that other people should join the Seagoing Cowboys program because you could be saving other peoples life. Why would you sit on the couch and do nothing, when you can actually do SOMETHING. Instead of just sitting on the couch and watching Television you could be saving many of peoples lives that have been affected by the war. I'm not saying that everyone just sits on a couch all day and watches Television because I know people have jobs and kids and other important things to do , but I know that atleast 100,000 people in this world just sit around doing nothing. If you have free time on your hands why not help out some other countries that have been left in ruins and are in need of food. I think it'd be a thing to do if you have to much time on your hands.
People should come help other counties with the Seagoing Cowboys program because you'd be able to go to alot of places and go sight seeing while saving people. I know some poeple would love to go and see other places in this world but don't have a really good reason to except to go see some things, well now you do.
You can go to places almost all over the world to help other people recover from the war but while you're there and you have some free time you can also go sight seeing and take some pictures to bring back home if you want. It will be an epic adventure if you help out this program . Im positive that it will be a fun experience.
I know some people are probably thinking "Well thats not our problem, that's their problem." but it doesn't matter if it's their problem or our problem. If we were badly effected by a war I'm positive they would help us out. Now if you were badly effected by the war and left in the ruins without any food or any help wouldn't you want someone to help you? I know that I would want someone to help me. Why don't you pretend you're in their shoes? You wouldn't want other people to just sit there and not help out. I'm sure that those people are very thankful and glad that the Seagoing Cowboys program is helping them out. The Seagoing Cowboys program is a great opportunity to get to do something and change the world.
Already fourty four nations have joined this program to help others out so why don't you join too? It may be a long trip to the destination you're helping but it's worth it. This is why I think that people should join the Seagoing Cowboys with me . I hope you agree with me and join this program to save lives and change the world. | 2 |
The Face on Mars is a natural landform, though, some may think that it was created by aliens. NASA's research has shown otherwise. The Face was not made by aliens, but under natural circumstances. There were many high quality pictures of this landform taken and many scientist who studied them. Scientist have come to conclusion that the Face is just a natural landform that has taken a not so natural shape.
Many people still believe that the Face is some sort of acient alien monument. These conspiracy theorists think that NASA is just trying to hide the evidence of life on Mars. As said in the article "defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars" (Unmasking the Face on Mars). Believers were still skeptical so, to be sure, NASA took more pictures of the Face that were clear to the eye. With these new high resolution pictures, as Garvin said, "you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size." Basically, if there were life on Mars we would be able to see even the smallest of things through these photographs. There was nothing unusal found.
For 25 years conspiracy theorists have been questioning NASA's research. Specifically, on Mars and whether or not there is alien life on it. There have been movies and books that fanticize on the things that could possibly be living on the Red Planet. These theories are not backed up by knowledge and facts like NASA's. NASA's scientist are the best of the best when it comes to knowing abot outer space. These scientist have seen Mars, and the Face, in person. Most of the theorist have never left the planet. Lastly, there are many natural landforms like the Face on our own planet. An example of this is, Middle Butte in the Snake River PLain of Idaho as pointed out by Jim Garvin.
Outer space is the home to many mysteries bu, the fact that the Face is a clue to alien civilation isn't one. Even though the landform looks as if it could a ruin of a acient alien civilization, the facts have shown that it is not. Through studying the pictures and positioning of the Face, NASA's professionals were able to conclude that it was just a natural landform much like the ones found here on Earth. This does not mean that there is no life on Mars, it just means that the Face is not a hint to finding it. | 3 |
A camera that detects how you feel. Imagine walking on a peaceful day, you're trying to enjoy a nice spring day. On your walk you have random people trying to take pictures of you at the park. All you are trying to do is enjoy your day. Next thing you know, Goverment camera's using you as a study when you just want to be left alone. They dont even know you and you just want to enjoy the day. In the blink of an eye others have milions of photos of you. Its almost a invasion of privacy wouldn't you think?
This System seem's like it would be cool to use on you'r phone, or with a group of friend's. But as we know thing's can easily lead to something bigger. That's why no one need's it. It would start out as something cool. Something new and people at the park would be trying to show you. Perhaps you like it at first and you take a photo with the person at the park. At the moment you could be okay with it, but then you go to bed, now some stranger has a picture of you and you'r kid. Or individual's thinking something about you when they dont even know you.
That leads into the Goverment. They have millions of camera's and sutistic freaks that just view you and your family as a object. They want to use your looks to make them money, or get what they want. Such as banning things, or zone's where people can't be if they look mad when your not. After all there could be a database that says who you are, what your attitude is, and its open to the public.
So they have this new database for the public. People can look up anyone and see who they are and there attitude, if they are always upset, happy mad or joyfull. Know you have the world to judge you and millions of photos to look at you. They are all random people who don't know you and its just what a computer thinks of you. who wants that?
Regardless of the publuc, friends, or goverment all you wanted to do was enjoy your day. Know you have million's of photo's of you that you dont want people to have. A invasion of privacy, and possibly rights violated. who wants that when all you wanted was to enjoy your nice spring day and get out of the house after a cold long winter. | 1 |
Driverless cars sound like everybody's fantacy, you see and hear about them from everywhere; fictional movies, childrens books, television, but having a driverless car might not be the fantacy you hoped for. There are many problems that come with the driverless cars. While you may be able to get around easily, who would be at fault if technology fails and someone is injured- The driver, or the manufacturer? Surely If you were to be in an accident because the car itself malfunctions causing injuries to you and other people you wouldn't be to blame?
Most driving laws focus on keeping drivers, and pedestrians safe, and lawmakers know that safety is best achieved with alert human drivers. In most states it is illegal even to test computer-driven cars. Why? Because it is rather dangerous. Another negative aspect would be that not everybody would agree with driverless cars, so would this cause a problem? Having normal cars and driverless cars on the streets together?
Having a driverless car will cause issues with navigating through roadwork or accidents, because they might be programmed for certian roads with certain conditions. So if something were to happen such as an accident would the car know when to stop? Or if there was an ambulance coming down the road for an emergencey, would the car know to pull over and let it pass?
Another con to the driverless cars would be that there would be so many sensors to go along with it. These types of cars need to have sensors in every direction, because there are unexpected animals, or children that cross the road without paying attention, they need to make sure the sensors are able to detect those types of things fast.
Technology is going very far but not this far yet, we might be trying to rush it too much, having only driverless cars would pretty much mean getting rid of normal cars, therefore; Many car buisnesses go out of work and many people lose their jobs. That being said, it would be way to expensive to replace normal cars with driverless cars for the billions of people in the world. While there are many benefits to this idea of driverless cars there are just as many if not more cons. | 3 |
Dear Senator,
I, STUDENT_NAME, am in favor of changing our democacy to popular vote. Electoral college does no good to our society. It's out of date, it's irrational, everybody in this case has a great chance of becoming president. That is no good, we do not need idiots running our country. Election by popular vote is the best way to go. You will have a certain outcome and votes will be fairly made. It benefits everybody. More than half of our population wants you guys to make the switch.
The electoral college is not an up to date voting method. Our founduing fathers made it many years ago while writing the constitution. It is a long process of nonsense that has no advantages to us, the people. By popular vote, it's faster, simpler, and better. Popular vote is basically a group of qualified citizens voting for the president. Popular vote is the best way for people to directly voice their opinions by picking the president of their choice. If we use the Electoral college, the electors of our state may not deliever it properly.
Over 60 percent of voters prefer direct elections. Government officials such as Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and others all thought we should abolish the electoral college. Many things are wrong with the electoral college, we don't directly vote for the president but for the slate of electors, who eventually vote for the president. It in no way benefits the people, they have no control over who the electors pick. In many cases, people have decided to not even vote because there was no hope.
If there are greater chances of everybody being president, not only is there a fool running the country,he isn't going to worry about your interests or needs. If your own president won't help your interests, potential voters may be turned off. Isn't that horrible, to feel that our president isn't our president? Knowing that our vote will have less of an efect, we won't want to vote. Voters in presedential elections are people who have something to say and actually want to express themselves. They are not the people who don't care and just vote to vote.
You and the rest of the senate should consider this very deeply. It isn't just benefiting the people, but congress, the whole senate; and most importantly, the president. It will make us a better nation and one as a whole. I hope you take this into great consideration and make the change. The only way to get back the peoples trust and votes is by taking baby steps. This is one great step and good things may come out of this.
Sincerely,
PROPER_NAME | 3 |
The author in this passage is very supportive of his idea because he gives insight and talks about the entire picture instead of just the good about exploring Venus. The author allows the audience to see the risks people need to take to explore Venus.
According to the author we can't get people on Venus just yet because the conditions on the planet are just too severe. In the text it states " Many researchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last." With this happening eventually we can send machines to Venus that can survive the harsh conditions and further help us figure out how the planet was once supportive of life forms and help us figure out ways to inhabit the planet. While these machines are being worked on Nasa is also working on a blimp like machine that can allow for a human to go to Venus, but they won't be able to get samples of Venus it will allow for a better picture of the planet and allow us to better observe and find out more about the planet.
The author also provides the readers with ways that Nasa is trying to accomplish with different electronics. The text states "some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface." This allows the audience to see that when Nasa goes to Venus, they will be prepared for the harsh conditions and allow for a safer enviornment. They are also seeing if old computers could be a factor in being more cautionary on Venus because the older computers were more durable and the parts may not melt like the computer do today because the older version computers were made of less electronics and more levers and things like that. The author wants the audience to know that these researchers are taking the precautions and making sure that their astronauts are going to be safe on this planet.
The author provides thorough evidence to all sides of his idea to show the audience that he doesn't just think about the good in exploring Venus he wants the readers to see how dangerous it actually is and all the equipment testing you need to be safe on this planet. It allows the readers to see the good and the bad in exploring Venus but he also tries to sway your own idea of exploring Venus. | 3 |
I argue in favor of keeping the Electoral College,because the Electoral College is process consists of the selection of the electors ,which the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President , and the counting of the electoral votes by congress.
They get to vote who is going to be but, the Electoral College is consists of the selection of five hundred thirty eight electors. The majority of two hundred seventhy electoral votes is requied to elect the president. I think that is not going to be alot of votes of people who is voting for the person who they want. Is just voters vote not for the president , but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president. Not always the voters can control whom their electors vote for!
The argument against the electoral college is what we might call the disaster factor. The American people should consider themselves lucky, because the two thousand fiasco was the biggest election crisis in a century. They was lucky that happen , consider that state legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors, and that those electors could always defy the will of the people. Perhaps the most worrying thin is the prospect of a tie in the electoral vote. In that case, the election would be thrown to the House of Representatives, where state delegations vote on the president.
The electoral college is unfair,outdated, and irrational. The arguments in favor of it are mostly assertions without much basis in reality, and the arguments against direct elections are spurious at best. There's five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the president and those five reasons is certainty of outcome, everyone's president, swing states, big states, and avoid run-off elections. These five reasons have something to deal with Electoral College. Is just some arguments that they have of electoral college, in of defense of the electoral college.
Is just asking if the electoral college works? I think that it doesn't because they have arguments about it ,about they dont get that much votes. And that something is wrong with the electoral college. People should decide on what they want and that voters can control whom their electors vote! It can be a argued that the electoral college method of selecting the presisdent may turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope of carrying thier state. Voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a political preference. | 0 |
Venus is a very high maintenance planet. When I say this I mean it is highly likely that it could have held many features as Earth holds everyday, but overtime it has developed very harsh conditions and now is hardly explorable.This doesn't stop scientists however, and only antagonizes them to investigate this planet.With their evidence and yearning to learn more however they have developed a lot of questions over this one special planet.
Venus is strongly worthy of being explored for the simple fact that it has had living organisms and bodies of water etc. Yes however; it is very dangerous and usually peoples experiements to last very long. Venus is like Earth in many different ways such as the fact that it has a surface of rocky sediment and it includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains and craters. Venus is the nearest planet for inspection as well which is very crutial to the long time frames of space travel. Venus is also a great idea to further studies on because of the harshness as well, seeing how it evolved to living organisms and bodies of water to harsh conditions and hardly being able to even put different space proof techniques on board.
Venus in all is the closest planet to Earth in its features. NASA is working to find solutions on ways we can possibly investigate this planet, and if they have faith in this planet we should too, because their the experts.The author really backs up his claim of Venus being a worthy pursuit even with the harshness in that he convers all axpects and convers them well with hard facts and help of the other scientists. | 2 |
Dear senator you should chaange the voting rules from Electoral College to popular vote because the Electoral College is to confusing. Popular vote is a more efficent way to vote for the presedent.
For example in the article Does the Electoral College Work it says that the Electoral College votes by people who are profetionals and popular vote is by the people of the United States of America. This quote explains how the popular vote is better because it is decided by the people not the government.
Another reason why you should change the voting rules is that the Electoral College doesnt even work. In the article it explains how''under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the presedent ,but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president.''This quote explains that the electoral college has nothing to do with the people the vote is not decided by the people why have any people to begin with.
I just think overall you should consider the tip and change the voting rules.
Another reason why the electoral college has to be gone is it is un orginized. In the text ''The indefensible electoral college why even the best-laid defense of the systeme are wrong.''the quote explains that even though both systems of voting work,popular vote is the more dominant rule.
In conclution you need to change the system for the people and overall just make voting a lot easier. | 1 |
Who all is tired of practically falling asleep at the computer during an assignment? Drifting off and on is something children learn early in their childhood due to the endless work on the computers that is supposed to help them read, spell, do math, and a ton more. This is a tough problem everyday people deal with, whether it is at work, school, or even at home doing some type of training. Thankfully, there is now a solution to all of that falling asleep nonsense. Solving this problem can help a large amount of people, that is why there is an intelligent new technology everybody should take advantage of.
The article, "Making Mona Lisa Smile" by Nick D'Alto talks about a new edition to computers that can read your emotions called FACS. FACS stands for (Facial Action Coding System). This software was invented by a scientist named Thomas Huang, also known as Dr. Huang. The article even explains how the process comes about, "The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles." (D'Alto 3). The text is explaining that there is a coding inside of the computer of a face with no emotion! The face mirrors you and calculates the muscles in your face to tell your emotions!
Say goodbye to falling asleep at your computer! One of the best reasons for this coding software is to help students to not fall asleep in school at the computer. "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," Says Dr. Huang. This is important because most students find themselves drifting off during an article or a big test. They get done reading the text and don't remember what they read because of the tiring school work they set out to do. The article says, "' Then it could motify the lesson, like an effective human instructor.' The same technology can make computer-animated faces more expressive for video games or video surgery. 'Most human communication is nonverble, including emotional communication.' notes Dr. Huang." (D'Alto 6). In other words, motifying the lesson can help to make the assignment more interactive and hooking to the student.
In conclusion, students are finally able to have something that helps them to pay better attention. Using FACS can improve your childs grades, learning environment, and the confidence they have about their school work. FACS will help people all over the world have more productive days. | 2 |
The face on Mars has a lot of people thinking there is life there but studies show there is no sign of life on Mars. The face on mars is very big so people dont really think it was made by aliens. Just because it big that doesnt make it made by aliens but in outer space there are a lot of astroides flying around so some of them may have hit a mound of rock to where it has made a face. People still want to believe that there is life out in space there could be but there are no studys to prove that there is life. In conclusion there is not lif on mars and that face could have been made naturally because how long has the face been there before we took the picture. There could have been someway that the face was formed. Look at Earth there are many formations that have been naturally made. There are other studies that the ice caps on Mars have tiny bugs in them. | 1 |
The limiting of cars in the world and commuinities sounds terrible but in a way its not all that bad for one reason it helps reduce smog in the area, people get more physical activity by walking and by cleaning up the city new business will come to the twon/city you live in people drive there cars everywhere they go, to the store , the mall, out to eat even if its in walkinng distance people relay on there car to get them where they need to go and this is a big problum because its creating unheathy smog in the environment that people and animals live in and by relaying on cars to get them where they need to go the people are only making the situation even worse then its becoming. Smog is like a poison fog created by cars and things of that nature and is put into the atmosphere for people to breath into there lungs and is but into there body just beacuse they "need" to drive where they "have"to go in such a hurry.
when you remove cars for an extended period of time or just the day people are forced into physical activity to relay on when they have to go places like the store, the mall, out to eat ect. its good for people just to get out and exercise instead of someone saying im going to the drug store that is a 5 min walk down the road. now its alot more reasonable if the place your going in like 5 miles from where you live then yes drive but if is 5 min walk just walk its not going to kill you. even if its just biking up the road to get the mail it still beats driving for no reason on somthing you could walk/bike to get.
If you remove cars once a week, evan once a year you could clean up the town/city you live in to bring new business to the town you live in and new busnisses means new jobs so that an econome increases in the town because it been cleaned up and new busniess has be created in your town.
in these three paraghaphs ive given three great reasons why imiting cars is a great advantage and help the small towns to big cities around the world. | 2 |
Dear senator, the electoral college many be a good process to help select a president. "The founding fathers established it in the constiitution as a compromise between election of President by a vote in Congress and by popular vote of qualified citizens.(infor. find in paragraph 1)", but in my opinoin i think that we should change the election by the popular votes. By doing that, it allows voters to have a fair vote. There would not a "winner-take-all" system anymore, but above all the candidates can have a fair fight against each other without the interfrence of the representatives.
Well to start it off, why would having the popular vote be better than the electoral college? That's because the electoral college is unfair to voters. "The winner-take-all system in each state caused the candidates to not spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning, focusing only on the tight races in the "swing" states.(infor find on paragraph 13)"
Perhaps you are wondering, what does the reprentatives got anything to do with electoral college being unfair to the candidates. When there are two candidates who are tie in the electoral vote, the decision whould be thrown to the representative to decised. "The single representative from Wyoming, representing 500,000 voters, and the 55 representatives from california represent 35 million voters.(infor find on paragraph 12)" By given that many votes for just one representative, is it fair for the candidates? Not only that, but what about the 55 representative from california, what if all those 55 representative voted for their candidate from california? You know without thinking, of course the candidate from california would win. Would it be fair for the candidates and the other voters?
Although if you think about it, electoral vote can help in cerent ways. Like what if there is not many voters that voted? Or being in a tie, but of course that wouldn't happens, and like i said earlier it would'nt be fair to some of the candidates and voters who tried hard to elect or be elected. Like i said before please change the system of electing president by popular votes instead of electoral college! | 2 |
All our lifes we have wonndered what the future would be like, or what tecnologies will we have. This is a step closer to that world we imagine and wonder about. This I believe is a great step towards what we imagine the future will be like. Personaly I believe driveless cars are great and we need to do more test on this subject.
All our lifes we have wonndered what the future would be like, or what tecnologies will we have. This is a step closer to that world we imagine and wonder about. Driveless cars are in my opinion amazing and inovating. The fact that what we have seen on television and dreamed about is finally starting to come true is just mind blowing. We need to do more towards making this bigger. We need to get more states to change trafic laws so that more testing on these driveless cars. People are affraid of the things that might go wrong but that is why we need to be allowed to do more tests and fix what might go wrong. More states need to allow this. A lot of companies are manufaturing computer driven cars. These cars have a lot of different sensors and cameras to let the driver know what the car is doing and let the driver know he is safe.
There is more reaserch and testing needed for this but it will be big. The driveless cars are a great new thing. The world will seriously be impacted greatly by them. | 2 |
Its just a natural landform because it says in the article that, the landform reminds them about, most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho, says Garvin. That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars. Also scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia, only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like Egyptian Pharaoh. Then a few days day later NASA unveiled the image for all to see. The caption noted a huge rock formation which resembles a human head formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth. The authors reasoned it would be a good way to engage the public and attract attention to Mars. And for 25 years some people think the face
is bona fide evidence of life on Mars, evidence that NASA would rather hide, say conspiracy theorists. Meanwhile, defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars. Although few scientists believed the Face was an ailen artifact, photographing Cydonia became a priority for NASA when Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) arrived at the Red Planet in Sept . 1997, eighteen long years after the Viking missions ended. They felt this was important to taxpayers, explained Jim Garvin, cheif scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program. They photographed the Face as soon as they could get a good shot at it. | 1 |
In the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming' It tell bith postive and negative facts about driverless cars. I believe that there should be drtiverless cars this is where I stand. Driverless cars have been worked on for a while now. So far they have developed software to help the advancedment of driverless cars. I think that driverless cars will provide more of a positive impact on the world than a negative one.
Driverless cars have been worked on for a while now. Its been since the 1980's the used sensors attached to the wheels of cars of antilock brakes. Within 10 years, they are more advanced with better response times than ever when indanger and all around. In the late 1950's, receivers to capture radio signals th guide the car on a special track.
So far they have develped software to help the advancedment of driverless cars .In 2013, There was a develpment called "Trafic Jam Assistant"announced by BMW.This helps steer,accelerate, and break themselves. however they notify the driver when it doesn't have the skills to drive it in a certin situation. It can function up to 25 mph. There are also vibrations in the drivers seat to notify of an emergancy. This can mean that the driver still needs to stay concentrated on the road when the sitiuations occur. There have beeen ideas considering useing flashlights lighs on the mwindsheilkd and other heads up display just in case.
Driverless carts really aren't driverless now. Most of the software for the car still needs someone to drive the car. The software hasn't really advanced so much the needs to be no one conentrating on the road ahead. These are just to help progress the advancement for driverless cars and increases safety. So even if the sofware fails the car still has the driver attention on the road. All they can do now is help the driver and other become more afe when driving incase anything happens.
In concluion, the driverless cars now aren't completely driverless and needs the drivers skills so that means it can provide more safety than less. If it can continue in success the driverless cars will be much more safe than now. Driverless cars can use half the fuel of today's cars and can offer more felxiblity when driving. The cars can have better response times than humans can in the future. Driverless cars will provide more of an increase in safety then what we have now in the future. | 2 |
the floor wasnt made by aliens because the way its made thats how the floor is only why it has those bumps because mars is a old place but there are aliens that live there mars is a old planet made a long time ago and if i was a scientist theres no way aliens could make mars cause they still havent found aliens and aliens are smart but they aint that smart they dont have the brain to make mars if i was a scientist i wouldnt think they was aliens that made mars but it could be a possiblty that aliens made mars but they dont have the proff yet scientist are we searching to see who made mars the floor of mars are just bumps cause mars is a old plant that was made a long time ago if i was we searching mars i would know that aliens didnt build mars cause they still havent found bodies in mars. the bumps on mars could be aliens but theres no way it could because they still havent found evidence in mars that aliens made it they couldnt find no body of aliens bodys | 0 |
