In the article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author suggest that Venus is worhty of being studied despite the dangers that it presents. Us humans have landed on the Moon and sent and leanded rovers on Mars why not try and land a rover on Venus. The author does a good job of supporting his/her claim that we should go to and study Venus more, by talking about how it may well once been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system, sending blimp-like vehicles to hover above the surface, and testing that NASA has done.
Venus may well once been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. In the article the author states "The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes features such as valleys, mountains, and craters." the author says in paragraph 4 is "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth." the authors means that since Venus has all of these terrains that are similar to Earth that it may have had liquid water on the surface and the right temperatures to support life.
In the next paragrphs the author talks about imagining sending a blimp-like vehicle to venus to hover around 30 miles above the surface like how our jet planes fly at a higher altitude to avoid flying in storms. towards the end of paragraph 5 it states that the "temperautres would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth." This shows that if we use the right materials we could fly the blimp-like aircraft and study how the air pressure is and the exact degrees the atmosphere would be.
Lastly, the author explains on how the testing that NASA has done. In the text the author says "NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus... some simplified electronicsmade of silicon carbide have been tested.. simulating the choas of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions." this shows that the author is getting information from a reliable source (NASA). The author also dives deeper and talks about how another project is looking back to an old technology called mechanical computers and that they can resist physical conditions better than modern computers.
In conlusion, the author did a great job saying that Venus is worthy of studying even though the dangers that it presents to us.
he/her supported their idea well with reasons like, how Venus may well once been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system saying that earlier in Venus's lifetime that it was probably covered in water and supported various lifeforms. Another reason was to imagine sending a blimp-like spacecraft to hover 30 miles above the surface o Venus, and , Lastly the test that NASA has been doing to spacecrafts to withstand Venus's surface for at least three weeks. This are good reasons to back up the claim that the author has made. | 3 |
In the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming," the author gives us the idea of positive and negative aspects of driverless cars being invented and usable to others. I am against driverless cars, although, good ideas about it are stated. Google cofounder, Sergey Brin, believes that these cars will change the world by lowering the amount of gas used that is polluting the air, and using technology to invent better things for everyone.
The invention and usage could indeed lower the amount of drunk drivers, but the percentage of accidents would remain about the same. Since smarter cars will be made out of pieces of techonology, such as motion sensors, it could always be broken without notice, and not work correctly. The article stated that "touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel." The question is, what if the touch sensor is broken, or what if the touch sensor can detect a different item being placed on it, to give the effect of a driver holding the wheel?
The article states, "GM has developed driver's seats that vibrate when the vehicle is in danger of backing up into an object. The Google car simply announces when the driver should be prepared to take over." Yes, an additional vibrate to the driver's seat can notify the driver about something happening, but they would be unsure of if it is a sign for the driver to take over, or a sign that tells a main part of the car is not functioning properly.
I believe that the law in majority of the places on Earth will deny the allowance of driverless cars, but that is fully on THEIR opinion. Driverless cars should not be trusted because it will make humans more lazy and less productive, like they already are now with recent technology releases. People currently driving with their full actions are actually being motivated to use human skills, and at the same time, learn from driving. Driverless cars can lead to teens uneligible to drive, take action and pretend that they are driving, when they have no prior knowledge or license/driver's permit. Driverless cars have a possibility of encouraging teens or younger adults (who look older than the age they are) to become rebellious with their family member owning this type of car.
I would have to agree when the article is stating "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault--the driver or the manufacturer?" The driverless car driver could always make an excuse of putting the technology at fault, and asking the injured person to let it slide, when the other driver is obviously hurt. You cannot detect if it is the companys fault unless they inspect the car for the driver being guilty, or the manufacturer.
Driverless cars should not be permitted to be invented due to it's fundamental change in the world, stated by Sergey Brin. The techology of the car could be damaged without the driver's notice. The driverless effect can cause other people without a license and/or knowledge to become "drivers" of their own. The truth will be hard to spill out during an accident on if it is the driver's fault or the manufacturer's fault. | 3 |
Would you want a driverless car? While driverless vehicles may seem cool, there are reasons to why they aren't the best invention . Driverless cars aren't exactly the best invention because technlogy does and will fail, they still require human attention, and they tamper with driving laws.
Driverless cars rely highly on technology. Technology always seems to find a way to misfunction. The more we rely on technology the more dangerous situations we are put in.We already have repairmen for mechanical functions of vehicles, but with driverless cars we would need different repairsmen that are practically technicians.
Driverless cars seem cool because you don't have to actually pay attention and drive. So you think. Driverless cars still require that humans pay attention. Some have sensors that make sure
the driver still has his or her hands on the steering wheel. Many crashes today are mostly because the human was not paying attention. So why would we allow the human to pay even less attention to the road? These cars can easily alter humans into thinking that they dont have to pay attention to things as much. There is no point in having a driverless car if the driver still has to pay attention to the road.
Driverless cars oppose many driving laws. Presently, traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times(Paragraph 9). Still, even if traffic laws change, new laws will be needed in order to cover liability in the case of an accident(Paragraph 9). In some states, driverless cars are not allowed to be tested, mostly for safety reasons. If the technology in a driverless car fails and creates a crash, who is repsonsible for the crash, the human in the car, or the car manufacturer? This question alone can create many arguments.
Do you still want to try a driverless car? There is a lot of evidence to support how driverless cars aren't a smart invention. Some reasons that support the claim against driverless cars are the fact that technology isn't fully efficient, driverless cars still require human interaction in order to function properly, and driverless cars challenge current driving laws. | 3 |
Helping out people in other contries with the UNRRA makes me feel good inside. Let me tell you why everyone should join the UNRRA's seagoing
cowboy program
First and for most , it is very fun. We play all the average games like baseball , volleyball ,
table tennis , fencing , boxing and ready. Another
way we have fun is with the animals. Watching the baby horses play is adorable.
Last but not least my friends and I have fun. We tell jokes and play pranks . You know the usual guy stuff.
This program teaches responsiblity. I am in charge of the animals and I have to feed and water them 3 times everyday and clean their stalls once a week. It may not sound fun but it is worth it when you see the light in peoples eyes when they recive one of our animals.
As well as responiblity you get certain rewards. On my free time I like to see the awesome structures that the people have in their cities. In total I have gotten
one gondola ride , 2 trips to Acropolis and 1 trip to the Panema Canal.
These are only the three top reasons why everyone should join this program. and if you are interested the UNRRA always needs new people! | 2 |
I think that the author did very well at explaining about venus and its worthy pursuit despite the danger. one of venus dangers is that it was 800 degrees fahrenheit which is so hot that if a cellphone was out on the planet it would melt and anything with tin can melt. And the atmospheric pressure there is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. these conditions are far more extrem than anything we have encountered on earth. Its so hot out there that it would liquefy most metals. fun fact is that venus has the hottest surface temperature of any other planet in our solar system even though its no the closest to the sun its still the hottest. Venus has erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeling to land on its surface. i know your thinking why would people wanna go there, well its because a long time ago scientist think that venus used to be like earth just with alot more water butit was capable to form life there. venus still has some features similer to ones on earth like a surface of rocky sediments and valleys, mountains, and craters. So I think that the author did a very good job at explaining his ideas about venus | 1 |
The author believe that studing Venus could bring good things regradless of its dangers. Life on another planet sounds crazy but Venus once, many years ago had earth like features that could maybe prove that Venus is actually worth studing. The real question is, can research be done on another planet with such high temperatures? I believe the risk isn't worth the struggle but finding put more about Venus could bring many benefits. Author claims yes it could be done with the right equipment but is it worth the risk.
Could people live on another planet with such high temperatures? Well the author claims in the article, " Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth" (The Challenge 4). This shows that life possibly existed in Venus many years ago and could maybe in the future carry human life. "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 Challenge 3). With the right equipment, living on Venus could happen in the long future, but would people really what to live as robots in outter space avoiding the risks.
Life on a different planet could bring benefits in the long future. The author brought up many good reasons on why his idea of studing Venus is worthy of trying despite the dangers. With the right techology, maybe the authors claim can be proven and considered as another planet for life. | 1 |
In the artcile "Making Mona Lisa Smile" I read about some new technology that reads facial expressions and can identify several different emotions. The technology looks at the 44 major muscles in your face and depending on what muscles are used it can calculate which emotion or emotions are being used. For example, when you raise your eyebrows in surprise you use your frontalis pars lateralis muscle and the computer can calculate that you are surpised from that. It can also calculate the emotions of figures in paintings such as Mona Lisa, who is 83% happy, 9% disgusted, 6% fearful, and 2% angry. I think that this technology would be invaluable in classrooms.
It would be an invaluable asset because when students get bored they tend to pay less attention. For example, if you were working on an online lesson and the computer could read your facial expression, it could send a message to the teacher telling the teacher that the lesson is boring the students. Or if a student was confused it could send a message to the teacher saying that the student is confused and needs help. It could even help a confused student on it's own by working through the steps on the problem they got confused on. This would prove to be invaluablew because
it would be like there are more than one teacher, and this would help students get one on one assisstance even when the teacher is busy.
So to wrap it up, it would help students get one on one help even when the teacher is busy. It would send the teacher a message saying that a student needs help. It would help the teacher realize that his or her students are bored and may stop paying attention to it. These are the main reason why I think that this technology would prove to be invaluable in classroooms. | 2 |
Professor Thomas Huang, of the Beckman Insitute for Advanced Science at the University of Illinios has been in collaboration with Professor Nicu Sebe form the University of Amsterdam. They have changed how art is looked at and hope to expand into everyday life. They want for for the connection between humans and technology. The use of such technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom may change how the school ciriculum leading to missing lessons, risk of teachers losing thier jobs, and how high the price of such technology is.
If the student does not like the lesson, the computer program may inform the teacher, This may lead to the school board taking out important lessons that will help the student later in life. But, how are they supposed to teach if the student does not like the lesson? If per say, the student finds nothing of the lesson interesting, the student will most likely learn nothing. That leads to the student not being as succesful in the future merely because they not learn the key lessons due to the fact that they thought it was "boring". If the computer does end up changing the way the student is taught, then the student will most likely get the idea that in life things will be altered to fit thier ends and desires. When inreality, that is not how life works. The student will be "sugar-coated" with all these advantages and have a change in character.
Not only does it put the risk of the student's future at risk but also the jobs of the teachers. If the computer alters the teaching is done then how will they know when to help the student? The computer program will eventually become the teacher putting the teacher out of a job. As if we already do not have high unemployment rates.
In the article, Dr. Huang predicts that "Then it could motify the lesson, like an effective human instructor."(Par. 6). Dr. Huang gives off the idea that the teacher will no longer be a human but rather a computer. Sure it may alter the lesson, but if that teacher put a big amount of time into that lesson only for it to be change, then what is the point?
Lastly, the whole cost of installing face-reading technology can come at a big price. Many schools do not have that kind of money in thier funding. I know that my school most definitely does not have the money to supply all the computers and laptops with this type of technology. Not even a students PC at home can "handle the complex algorithms used to decode Mona Lisa's smile. But we can write down some simple instructions that "encode" different emotions."(Par. 7). So basically not only would the school board spen lots of monety on installing the technology but also buy new computers that can handle such algorithms. Including the student , in order to get taught at thier pace and style would have to spend a lot of money on this technology.
In conclusion, the use of the technology to read emotional expressions of students in the classoms is not valuable due to the risks and failures that come with it. Such technology can have a negative impact on students, teachers, and others.
Also, doing so would invade an individuals privacy. | 4 |
Do you wanna take care of horses,young cows,and mules? Well if you do,Join the Seagoing Cowboys in taking our adventure ot help people anad places bombed in World War ll.
When Luke and Don were traveling over seas in the Seagoing Cowboys,They got their seaman's papers and boarded the SS Charles W. Wooster, Headed for Greece. The cargo was 335 horses and enough oats to feed all the horses.
Before arrivingt in Greece,Luke turned 18, Which back then meant that Luke could be drafted for military service.
A couple years later he was discharged,Luke had made nine trips,The most of any Seagoing Cowboy ever. The cattle boat trips were an unbelieveable experience for Luke being a small town boy. Before helping anyone he had the benefit of seeing Europe and China. But Luke also got to see the Acropolis in Greece and taking a gondola ride in Venice,Itlay.
Luke also toured at the evacuated castle in Crete and marveled at the Panama Canal on his way to China. It took two weeks to cross the Atlantic Ocean from the eastern United States and a month to China.
Caring for the animals during the crossings kept Luke busy. They had to eat and give the animals water three times a day. Bales of hay and oats had to be pulled from the lower ship. The stalls had to be cleaned. | 0 |
On May 24, 2001 25 years ago something wierd happend on Mars. Viking 1 spacecraft was going around Mars, taking pictures of landing places for its sister ship. While taking pictures the Vicking saw the shadowy likeness of a human face. On April 5, 1998, Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the very first time ever. Michael Malin and and his Mars Orbiter Camera, took picturse 10 times shaper then then from the preveous Viking picture. After that they conclued that there was no alien monument after all.
On April 8, 2001 the Mars Global Surveyor came realy close for a second look. Garvin said this " We had to roll the spacecraft 25 degrees to the center the Face in look." Malins team got an really extraordinary picture of the face, by using camera's absolute maximum resoltion.
In the 2001 Viking photo its spans 1.56 meters, in 1976 Viking photo comaperd to 43 meters per pixel.
After all of the studies and looking at the picturese, what the picture actually shows is the Martin equivalent of the butte or mesa. They are landforms common in West American. Its a lava dome that takes a form of a isolated mesa its about the same size and height as the face of Mars. So thats why the pictue is just a natural landform. And not alien artifact. | 1 |
The author presents a strong argument suggesting a worthy pursuit to study Venus depsite dangerous endeavors, however, his statments regauarding un-reliability on current technology, the necessary actions to conduct research, and numerous failed attempts to reach Venus greatly outweigh the good outcomes of this mission. Venus is considered the planet that is most similar to Earth. The passage explained that scientist speculate if there was once life on Venus considering it incredible geographical and size similarities to earth. Although further research could test their theories, Venus has very extreme weather conditions harmul to man and other objects. A closer look and gathering of evidence is expected to make this mission a success. However, modern day technology is barely able to keep up efficiently by just the use of humans. These issues are far too risky to consider pursuing.
Venus has features such as mountains, craters, and even valleys that are also seen on Earth. According to the article, its atmosphere is 97% carbon dioxide with temperatures averging 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than Earth with can crush nearly anything that tries to reach its surface and even liquefy metals. The second paragraph discussed how spacecrafts in the past barely lasted a few hours and since there hasn't been a spacecraft sent there in more than three decades. This evidence shows that despite the success of reaching Venus, we are not even close to even slowly progressing and fixing smaller issues with spacecrafts traveling there and back to Earth. By not providing evidence of some sort of pregression or steps closer to considering sending humans to Venus, the author weakens his arguments over the better outcomes of conducting research.
Conducting research requires numerous forms of evidence, samples, test, etc. In paragraph 5, the author makes suggestions of creating a spacecraft to sustain temperatures of at least 170 degrees Fahrenheit and levitating thirty-plus miles over the surface to observe the planet. Although this may be the most safest and efficient approach, he even stated that it would require getting "up close and personal" to collect samples. The whole idea is to reach Venus and collect data to compare to Earth and Venus' previous history. Without being able to collect samples, the author weakens his argument to study Venus despite the dangers it presents.
Lastly, modern day technology is known for its speed and cinvenience to access information. In paragraph 7, the author discussed how electronics we simplified to last at least three weeks in simulating conditions to Venus. He explained, "modern computers...tend to be more delicate when it comes to extreme physicakl conditions." He supported this claim by informing readers that older technology, mechanical computers, have been re-evaluated and seem to have better calculations but involve levers and such. This weakens his argument because it would mean that this mission wouldn'tt be helpful if the right technology can't be utilized to help calculate and evalutate information.
All in all, the author makes very good claims as to why NASA should continue to pursue further research on Venus. It would help determine if there was previous life, if it once operated as successful as earth, and if Earth could potentially be headed in the same direction. However, the extreme weather conditions, actions necessary for research, and un-cooperative technology make this pursuit seem far less worth it considering how danger it is for humans and even the spacecrafts sent to examine the planet. Ultimately, the project can be deemed as impossible if facts given in the article remain the same. | 4 |
I do not like the idea of driverless cars, becuase i have a lack of trust of computers. I'm old fashioned and prefur to have a human being control a machine. If i have to put my child's life into someone elses hands it would not be a computer. Now I am not saying the machine can not do it's job. I am siply saying in my opinion there are to many things that could go wrong.
Someone could hack it for instence. They could run the vehicle of the road, or ey sencers could nowfunction. Say you are going down the road and a little kid runs out infront of you. In a regular car in i can brerak every time, but in a driverless car if the fuse is bad or a wire is loose it may not tivate the breaking system, becuase the sencer was not working. Now imagion for me if you will that kid that ran out in the road was your own child. Young and inocennt with so much life before him/her. Would you really want a driverless car to be the one it ran out infront of?
Now I know people do not always drive safe or pay attention eather, if we inforced the laws we already have in place to protect or children and others. We could make the streets and eventually our beautiful nation safe once more, becuase today our nation is in to big of a hurry, and we forget what it means to take it slow and enjoy life. So i say no. We do not need driverless cars becuase it would only end badly. | 1 |
Are you a person that loves helping other people, going on adventures, and having fun? If you are you should join the Seagoing Cowboys/ Girls. I will be talking about reasons to join the Seagoing Cowboys/Girls and also details from Lukes claim.
The reasons you should join the Seagoing Cowboys/Girls are you get to help other people, you get to take care of animals, and last but not least you get to have fun. Helping other people is awesome because then they look up to you. Caring for other animals is kind as well because then they will start to trust you and other animals will do the same. Yes it can be a lot of work becase you have to keep them clean, make sure they have food and water, and you have to make sure there enviroment is clean, but its worth it. Again last but not least you get to have fun! Who in the world does not like to have fun?
On board you get to do games like table tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, baseball, and volleyball.
Luke claim is it is an apportunity of a lifetime and it's an adventure, you get to freetime and do cool things, and it will open the world to you. Before Luke became a Seagoing Cowboy he worked two part-time jobs he worked in a grocery store and a bank. His friend Don Reist invited him to go to Europe in a cattle boat. Luke thought this was a chance of a lifetime and he couldn't pass it up so he went. When Luke was on his way to China Luke toured an excavated castle in Crete and marveled at the Panama Canal. Now thats an adeventure and it shows how he had free time to do that. Being a Seagoing Cowboy was much more than an adventure for Luke Bomberger as he says. He says it opened the world for him. It allowed him to get a bigger picture of the world, and see what it was like. He says he is grateful for the apportunity and if you get an apportunity like that you should be glad to.
In conculsion this sounds like a lot of fun to me . All thought it is hard work and you have to be dedicated to it. In the long run though it would be worth it, because you get to help so many people. If you like going on adventures, helping other people, and having fun. Then a Seagoing Cowboy/Girl is the right job for you. What do you like most of being a Seagoing Cowboy/Girl? | 3 |
The use of this technology to read the emotional expressing of students in a classroom is valuable. Teachers and parents may say this will now better help them to know how well their student is actually learning based off his or her awarness to things. While others may say the use of this machine is uneccesary. My belief would have to be this technology would be a great fit to help you better understand how one may feel about something or someone.
A person who would argee to this technology being a benefit might say it will help them better understand their child. Teachers could say this would benefit them in their part of teaching only because knowing how their student feels on such things will help them to make sure to have new ways of teaching for their students to now be happier in the classroom. The author states, "Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional conversations." By saying this he wants to show that this maching could benefit someone while having a conversaton because their emotions are not always detectable.
While one could also say this machine is benefical someone could also disagree by saying this machine could give to much information to the wrong person. While having this machine a person could detect an emotinal or sad state of mind that you are feeling but you would not want them to know. Hiding your emotions from the world may cause you to be stressed out all the time, and holding in those emotions could hurt you as a person such as changing you completely. Allowing yourself to be completely open to a human is something that takes time, it could take even longer for someone to allow a machine to scan their emotions.
Some can say they have mixed emotions about this machine. They may state it will benefit the teachers to better teach their students, while also saying the reason they are against this machine is because it could mentally break down a person. Not allowing yourself to show these emotions or allowing yourself to hide these emotions hurts. Although, explaining things to someone may be considered easy to some when stating they already know exactly what they feel and how to do with it, but is this true?
Everyone can state their own opinion whether it may be they are for this machine or they are against it but not every one will agree with eachother. Stating your own opinion has its pros and cons, some opinions can get you in trouble while other opinions can benefit you down the road. This machine could have its own benefits to helping someone who is seeking for help but it could also break someone as a person for this machine is allowing others to recognize how one is feeling. Whether one is for this or against it there will always be things that we have to face even if we do not like them. | 3 |
The Electoral College is America's current method of election. A process created by our founding fathers that consists of the selection of electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for president and vice president, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress. Many Americans believe that this method is crucial because it's certainty of outcomes and the way it avoids run-off elections. However many people believe it creates more of a problem than a solution. Problems created under the electoral college system include, big states recieving more attention than small states, the disaster factor, and the winner-take-all method which causes unfairness among voters.
Each state has a different number of electors based on the number of members in it's congressional delegation. A lot of the time bigger states tend to have a larger amount of electors, for example the state of Hawaii has four while the state of texas has 38. This causes more attention to go towards the big states. Another example of this dilema is shown by an excerpt from Bradford Plumer whcih says "each state casts only one vote, the single representative from Wyoming, represetning 500,000 voters, would have as much say as the 55 representatives from California, who represent 35 million voters. Given that many voters vote one party for president and another for congress, the House's selection can hardly be expected to represent the will of the people".
The current system of election leaves room for multiple disasters to occur. Disasters such as the 2000 fiasco in which Al Gore won the popular vote but lost the presidency. Another issue caused is a question of the electors loyalty to their candidate. Perhaps the Elector of a certain state decides against the election of their party and casts a deciding vote for whoever they please. This creates an unreliable system they could change the fate of an election in an instant. Even more serious issues could arise such as a state sending two slates of electors which Hawaii did in 1960.
Lastly, the Electoral College is a faulty system because of it's winner-take-all method. Most states have this method in which the winning presidential candidate is awarded all the electors. Due to this the candidates don't spend time int he states they know have no chance of winning, and only focus on tight races in the "swing states". As stated in an article by Richard A. Posner "During the 2000 campaign, seventeen states didn't see the candidates at all, icluding Rhode Island and South Carolina, and voters in 25 of the largest media markets didn't get to see a single ad.
All in all, the Electoral College is an unreliable system of election. It causes many issues to arise and is all around unfair to voters. Many important people such as Richard Nixon, and Jimmy carter agree that America should abolish it all together. The issues caused such as unequal attention on states based on size, unfaithfulness of electors, and an unfair winner-takes-all method prove the the Electoral College undeniably, causes more problems than solutions. | 4 |
I am totally for the development of driverless smart cars in every way. Of course their are multiple reasons why someone would not like the idea of smart cars but their are so many pros to match the cons such as possibly less accidents, less energy wasted on driving, less gas used from driving, more civilized and smoother driving. The development of smart cars is a great step forward in civilization.
Many people would be scared that theire would be a malfunction of sorrts or a possible miscalculation in the car that would result in a crash or a possible death of a person. My response to that is that people crash and are killed due to the human error of drivers everyday. As long as the car is built properly and that all safety issues and regulations are met I think that smart cars may well be safer than any human behind the wheel.
People use so much gas and cause so much pollution while driving. I think that if smart cars do become a reality they would drive straighter and steadier therefore reducing the amount of gas used and reducing the amount of pollution caused by human drivers.
So many acciddents are caused from someone falling asleep at the wheel. With the reality of smart cars becoming so prevalent the amount of accidents caused by sleepy drivers are sure to fall. As shown in the passage a driver will be alerted when the car is ready to become human driven.Therefore the driver may wait or sleep until their vehicle alarms them to wake up and take the wheel.
How many times a day does an average person get mad at another person for poor driving. Someone may have not waited their turn at a four way stop or maybe someone was driving ten or so under the speed limit. Well with the revolutionary self driven smart car those anger issues will become a thing of the past. People will no longer be upset about the poor driving of another human being due to the self driven smart cars natural instinct to drive well and civilized under most situations.
Those were the reasons why I am fully in support of the creation of self driven cars and that is why I believe that the development of driverless smart cars are a huge step forward in civilization. | 3 |
I think that driveless car are safe and harmful.I thinl they are reliable enough to be used.
I think that if i had a driverless car that it would be helpful. it would be helpful because it drives itself it uses less gas or if eletrical it doesnt use gas at all.You could probably get alot more done within the day you may be able to even make it on time to wherever you have to go.The driveless cars offer more flexibility than a bus.These cars could change the world.but the bad outcome is what if the drive in the car is paying attention to the traffic stops or car wrecks.The driver of the car could be notified by the seat and couldnt grab the wheel in time. The accelarter may break and you cant slow the car down properly.If there was a problem with the car the manufactures would only be held accountable for it if the system caused the accident.My opinionon the cars is that they need to be tested longer before being road ready.
In Conlusion to this statement, are the smart cars ready for the road or to be used? My answer is no because there are many details that should be fixed and replace. smart cars need a little more work if ther going to drive people around without causing damage. | 1 |
My Thoughts on the Story "Making Mona Lisa Smile."
Lets be real first before we get started on the real thing. Who came up with all these weird names for facial expressions and facial muscles, my goodness I thought I was surely going to get taken out of class from laughing so hard at these weird names.
I think that using technology to read someone emotions is horrible stupid. I mean come on why invade someones privacy. Why trust a computer when it can mulfunction, and calculate wrong. Yet some might say its a good thing to invade others personal emotions by using technology to see what their feeling and figure out why their feeling that way. Not everyones facial tissue or muscles are the same nor can you predict what their facial expressions mean as of emotions. Using a 3-D computer model of someones facial structer you can see the muscles of the face in different forms and can tell what emotions are showing.
Example: Your orbivularis oris (around your mouth) tightens your lips to show your anger. So the people who agree with using this technology would rely on the 3-D facial model of someone and look for muscle tightening or high raises of the eyebrows, or tightening of the jaw.
People who do not agree on this would say you can not always believe what technology says. Maybe someones facial expressions are natural. For instence someone who was born with difunctional issues; a lip attacthed to their nose, if someone were to use a picture of someone with a lip disorder and the persons lips are tight they assume it is cause they are mad. When in reality they might just be sad because their lip is stuck like that, and your assuming it's tight cause their mad.
Paragraph 5 talks about humans calculating everyday. well for one when the author says, ' You can probably tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on her face." What makes you think it's a she it could be a he or a she. Don't assume genders author. Simply some people have trouble showing the right emotions too. For instance you could be happy and have a frown on your face and if someone were to send it the the facial computer and ask what is she/his emotions right now. Well the computer would say they are confused, when really they are happy and just had their face rested in a frown.
In paragraph 6 it says that, " most human communcication is nonverbal, including emotional comunication. So computers need to understand that, too." Dr. Huang notes said.
So why do computers need to understand how we feel? If we want someone to know how we feel, we will let them know. What's the point in wasting time working on a computer to figure out how someone feels when you could simply ask and not waste money and time on a computer that could malfunction? The author say's that the Mona Lisa demonstration is intended to bring a smile to your face, while it shows you just how much the computer can do. Well it surely didn't bring a smile to my face.
Instead it made me think of lot's of questions on stuff like; what happens if your so called computer malfunctions? Where will everything go? Surely you have everything saved? Have you tested it on many people more than 20? Were those people all the same? Or were they different? Do you know what people will think of it, or how they will react to all this new technology? Why did you use technology? What happens when we go into a blackout and you can't rely on any of the technology? People will want answers and then turn on you cause you relyed on something that can't function without electricity.
Paragraph 7 explains some "encoding" emotions and what to do while looking in the mirror then the author says that those instructions are for a face that looks happy. Now if your smart and I shall hope you are, we both know if you go to a mirror and force your eyes to squint and force your lips to move upwards, and then raise your cheeks up. Lets just say that will not look like a happy face, it will look like someone who doesn't know how to smile and is trying ot force a fake smile that looks horrible wrong.
Paragraph 8 talks about how a muscle clue can tell when a politician or celebrity isn't being truthful. Well what if someone asks them a personal question and they don't want the whole world to know? And you go and use that computer on their 3-D face you made and tell the world they were lying to that question. Hm well you just ruined that for them and exposed them. Now I know what your thinking they wouldn't do that, and maybe your right or wrong. Their is always someone who can hack or get the full version of this what do you call it FACS, and that person would probably spill it to the world and thank you for creating that machine. Then you're sucked into the law suits and drama and people who would sew you for ruining the world or someones life.
In paragraph 9 the author says, " According to the Facial Feedback Theory of Emotion, moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but also may even help produce them." Does it really? I mean you can't force a smile, and we all know faking a smile does not make you happy. These facts are from someone who probably just used a couple peoples facial expressions to get to publish his or her's book so why not ask more than a couple peoples opinions and what they say about all this.
I understand why you would want to read a studens emotional expressions during class to see how they feel and what you could do to make it better, but what if it doesn't get better and you try everything you can and their still sitting in calss bored and tired and not giving a rat? Then your stuck with a machine you don't need anymore and less money than you had because you wanted to spend it on a machine then asking the student's what they thought could help them.
Most people would spend money on machines to try to help kids because thats all their used to doing spending money on kids to make them happy, when in reality you just need to have them suck it up and pay attention reward them with things that don't cost a lot or something that doesn't cost anything.
This is my opinion and my thoughts. | 3 |
Driverless cars are a thing of the future that are becoming more and more present in our lives. Driverless cars are an advancement of our regular manual cars and allows the car to do the manual work the driver would usually do. Driverless cars are becoming more and more talked about as they become more of a possibility for the regular person, but are they really safe for the road. No, they need more testing and certification before they're allowed on the streets. In this essay the problems with the cars technology and other aspects will be dealt with.
Driverless cars shoud be kept off the streets for matters of safety. These cars are new and people don't have much knowledge on them so the risk of a manufacture problem with the computer is very possible. Driverless cars would also make it easier to get away with illegal acts. Thes acts include driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol, texting and driving, and much more. With these on the road people's lives and health would be on the line. even as technology advances, it can't advance the human mind. If the car is unable to control it's self anymore and the driver is not fit to drive a lot of problems are going to occur. Also if the car has a malfunction and an accident occurs who recieves the blame the driver or the manufacture? Self driving cars are just a problem waiting to happen. People around the world would feel safer with the manual cars they're used to than cars that aren't very well known and have the possibilty to malfunction at any given time. Technology should be more focused on creating cures for diseases and doing things to help the the people in the world, rather than assisting the fat and lazy in getting around without doing any work at all. Also these cars will cost much more to manufacture and sell at higher prices than manual cars, so what regular person would buy a very expensive car just because it can drive itself, something these people already know how to do and can do for less money?
Self driving cars shouldn't be street legal for many obvious reasons. They're more of a problem than they're worth, and need to be tested more before they're certified for the roads. For now there are just too many underlying problems for these cars to work. We should just stick to what we know, manualy driven cars. As the future comes maybe these cars will become a possibilty, but for now they need to keep testing these cars and sorting out the kinks before they allow people to drive them on the streets. | 2 |
Does the Facial Acton Coding really identify humans emotions? The Facial Action Coding really helps identify human emotions. Since some people can't identify or know if your happy,sad,angry,surprise,shock,disgust, and scared they won't be able to know your emotions.
Let me tell you how it works, the process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face. All and every 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles. The movement of one or more muscles is called an "action unit." The Facial Action Coding will really help you identify your own emotions, family, and friends. But some people will start thinking about the Facial Action Coding will malfunction on them and they won't be able to identify their emotions.
The Facial Acion Coding identify emotions from paintings and on human. The software can even identify mixed emotions as in da Vinci's masterpiece. Each expression is compared against a neutral face. We humans perfrom this same impressive " calculation" everyday. "Dr. Huang observes that artists such as da Vinci studied human anatomy to help them paint facial muscles precisely enough to covey specific emotions."
The Mona Lisa demonstration is really intened to bring a big smile to your face, while it shows how much this computer can do.
For example, if you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a similar add might follow. Dr. Huang predict that " A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored." Another prediction that Dr. Huang did was that "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." Every human or most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication. | 0 |
Driverless cars seem like a good idea, but there are some aspects that go against it. There are many situations that could take place with a driverless car, but also the fact that they will not be made completely driverless. A person still has to be aware of the surroundings and be ready for any case that the car may stop driving and theywould have to take over.
In the article "Driveless Cars Are Coming," the author describes that the cars being developed at the moment, still do not meet the standards of being completely driverless. In Paragraph 7, the author states that, "In fact none of the cars developed so far are completely driverless." These cars all notify the human driver when the road ahead requires human skills. This means thats the driver has to remain alert and ready to take over.
A downside to a driverless car is the fact that the driver still has to be monitored by the humans inside. The humans could easily get bored and/or fall asleep behind the wheel. The cars would have to alert the human that they need to take over. Car manufacturers are considering using heads-up displays that warn the driver when to take control of the situation. Imagine if the driver is asleep and jolts awake after being awakened by the displays installed. The driver has the potential to hit the steering wheel and cause the car to swerve into a ditch or tree, maybe even fly off a bridge. The manufacturers are considering making one of the displays blinking flashing lights that are placed on the windshield, but what if they blind you and you can't adjust your eyes to the light, you grab the steering wheel and try to stop the car but it is too late.
What if there is a mistake in the production of the car and the autopiolet of the car shuts off? Who is at fault for the accident? The car is supposed to drive for you and you are supposed to be able to relax. What if a person that can not afford a smart car is speeding down the street while your car is driving for you? What if the sensors don't detect them fast enough? What if there is fault with the wiring of the car, caused by weather or overheating?
The possibility of driverless cars seems like a dream come true but the reality of it is that there will never truely be a driverless car. The human inside will still have to be on guard for any possible situation in which the car cannot drive for itself. Things such as the safety of others and the possibility of a malfunction should play a major key in the develomental process of these cars. | 2 |
Many of you people who believe in the paranormal think NASA is trying to hide that there is life on Mars. You can put your doubts to rest bacause there is multiple evidence that "The Face of Mars" is NOT an alien formation.
As shown in many photos of the face there are unusual shadows in this formation that do seem to appear to be a face. But there are also many formations on Earth that take the shape of faces and everyday things. "What pictures actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa--landforms common around the American West" says Garvan, who is the chief scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program.
Acording to Gavan when they first took the pictures of the face they were very surprised by this discovery, but later dicovered "...a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all." "it was just another Martian mesa, commom enough around Cyndonia." Cyndonia is an area or Mars. So, once again it has been scientifically proven that there is no alien monument or formation.
There are many pictures, blurry pictures and well taken pictures, of the The Face of Mars that show that there is no alien monument. The formation is just your every day mesa that just so happens to look like a face. | 2 |
Using the Facial Action Coding System would be valuable in a classroom. Many students often get bored, distracted, or just lose focus when being taught a lesson that doesn't interest them. Of course you can't just not learn the lesson, since you are learning because it will come to use later on. Therefore, I believe that with help from your computer screen, you could stay on track with your work.
Often times, teachers use different teaching styles based on what allows their students to learn most effectively. With the Facial Action Coding System, computers could do so, too. For example, say you're reading an excerpt on the computer and it's not really on a topic that interests you, most students would immediately lose attentiveness to the reading. This is not a good thing, especially if the information was important, useful, or for a grade. But, with the Facial Action Coding System, this problem could be solved. The system could be used to spice up the learning, or keep the teaching style stays the same way if the student is staying attentive.
Many people learn in a different way. Some students are more effectively taught by learning visually, others hands-on, and some verbally. The Facial Action Coding system could recognize these based on students facial expressions. If the student is looking focused while seeing a diagram, the system could see they're a visual learner, and keep teaching the topic in that way. Otherwise if that doesn't work, the system could see if the student's emotions would change based on if they could listen to the information instead of reading.
Based on the positive characteristics of the Facial Action Coding System, I believe we should have the technology at school. The system could really be put to use, especially if it could help students learn and understand topics in an easier way. The emotion reading technology would be extremely valuable to have in a classroom. | 3 |
Have you guys ever heard of Sergey Brin? Sergey imagines a time in the future when
no one will buy cars, because we wont need them anymore. Sergey envisions a future with a new way of transportiation system. The car Sergey is working on will be pretty cool, because it doesnt take as much fuel as our taxis today do. This will be a good way to drive when your tired.
I think we should get these car, because
it will stop alot of crashs. Sergey should just make them. They should look the way they do in movies. The google perject that Sergey is coming up with will be cool for the world to see. Maybe it will help us stop the drunk driving.
To me this google project is something the world has been waiting on and we can really use. I hope we get to use these driveless cars. For everyones safety. I hope Sergey really does this project. Its going make it easyer on everyone. | 1 |
The face on Mars is just a natural landform. I think this because the face reminds someone of middle butte in the snake river plain of Idaho.
Just becuase the face is in movies and magazines do not make it true their is lots of story in magzines that is not true.
If this was a face,The face would have been gone after 25 years later. The picture may look like a face but its just a landform.
I think the face is just a landform bacause the picture is actually showing is a mesa lanform that can be mistaken by a face.
The face on mars can be related to some things on earth like the middle of the butte in the snake river plain of Idaho.
When someone had made the picture larger the face just looked more and more like a mesa or a butte landform. Micheal malin went to take more pictures which was more clear and he found out that it is just a natural landorm.
I'm not the only one who believes that the face on mars is just a lanform. a scientist want more proof of this so went to take more pictures and he found out the true about this face. For the people who believes the face is real just go to JPL web site, you can find better picture of it and you will see what I'm see. Which is just a landform mistaken for an alien face.
These are some reason why you should believe me when i said the face is just a landform nothing else not and alien face or an human face. I understand why someone would think this is a alien face because the first picture was not so clear and it did look like a face.
But now there is a better picture on this web site thats show nothing but a landform. | 2 |
Yes, I believe this technology is very useful. This could be used for a lot of different things, such as online and in the classroom. As it says in the article, "If you smile when a web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be different." This could totally change the internet, if you are'nt liking something you could just frown and it would either change it up or put something diffferent on the screen. Or for another instance, if you are watching youtube, and if you are'nt liking your video you just frown and they would show you a new video.
This technology also can help in the classroom, if you are doing something online for a class and you got bored, the screening would change whatever was on your screen into something more entertaining that you may like, Dr. Huang predicts, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming bored or confused, then it could modify the lesson, like an effective instructor." I would like to see this happen, especially in the classroom. If i was doing a research project or a test or just an assignment online, i would rather have it change it to something more interesting. Although this could also hurt student academically, especially if they sratrt getting behind on their school work.
This technology could also work for video games, if you are playing the same games over and over the console would be able to switch it up and allow you to play new/different games. This could definitely help improve video games, even if you did'nt own the game you wanted to play, it could let you play a free trial to see if you want to go ahead and buy it. For example, if you are playing a basketball game and start to get bored, the facial screening will see that and switch you into a different game. This technology could also put you more into the game in a way, it could possibly scan your face and put you into the game as one of the main characters.
This facial screening technology is really cool, it just seems surreal that a computer can tell you exactly what empotions you are feeling. Just like with the Mona Lisa picture, the screening said that she was 83% happy, 9% disgusted, 6% fearful, and 2% angry. This screening can tell your exact emotions with exact percents, it can do all this just through a screen. The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of your face, and scans all 44 major muscles,
Overall, I believe that this technology is very valuable to society, I mean being able to read emotions just rhough a screen is amazing. Dr. Paul Eckman did an amazing job creating F.A.C.S. (Facial Action Coding System), this system can classify six different emotions. Those emotions are happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear and sadness, and this system can also associate one of those emotions with your faciaL muscles. | 3 |
Face on Mars! Natural landform? or Created by Aliens? I believe that the structure is a natural landform. NASA would not want to hide life on mars. They have been researching for years to find life on Mars.
NASA has been researching Mars for years looking for living things. Nothing was ever found. So, why believe there was ever ancient civilization on Mars, if through out all the research, nothing was ever found. Some still disagree and believe that there is new life on Mars. But, in order for there to be a new there has to be an old.
When Garvin decided he wanted to get a better look at the face on Mars himself, he also agreed that it would be a natural landform. He used a digital image three times bigger that the pixle size. Therefore, if there were any signs of live, shakes, houses, aliens, ect. you would be able to point it out from the picture.
Yet, there was still nothing found. Although some people still believe aliens live on Mars, and aliens created the face structure. There is proof that you can not spot any digns of life on Mars. So, therefore, we come to the conclusion that the structure was a natural landfor, that just so happened to look like a face. | 2 |
Senator,
"What Is The Electoral College?"
Asks
The Office OF Federal Register . The Electoral College is a process that consists of the selection of the electors. The Founding Fathers established it in the constitution as a compromise between election of the President.
"
Does The Electoral College Work?"
Is The Question That remains.
"What's Wrong With the electoral college"?
Electors have refused to vote for their party's candidates and cast a deciding vote for whomever they please. "This is the single best argument against the electoral college is what we might call the disaster fact". I Think The Disaster Fact is What Has the Office of the Federal Register questioning the Electoral College. Although, The System Allows For Much Worse.
The Electoral College is widely regarded an anachronism. a non-democratic way of selecting our president.
I Think The Electoral College is Unfair Because of The Winner-take-all system in each state. The Winner-takes-all system is the system that awards all electors to the winning presidential candidate. it's basically a gamble. you come with electors, hope for the best and if your luck is good you leave with a jackpot, but sadly if you dont get the jackpot you lose all. I Agree That "The Electoral College Is Unfair,Outdated,And Irrational."-
states paragrah 14
Certanity of Outcome, Everyone's President, Swing States, Big States,Avoid Run-Off Elections are the "Five resons to keep our despised method of choosing the president", These reasons still dont give us any solutions. The five reasons arent about being fair its about what comes along with winner-takes-all.
Senator, I think that we should change the way the voting system for the electoral college,because the winner-takes-all has barely worked over the years and now its just unfair.
This is why i think the Electoral College should change the election by popular vote for the president of the United States. | 1 |
Driverless cars? It seems to be a major advancement in technology, but whats the purpose? In all honesty, it is a very cool idea. This idea though, has a lot of thinking to go behind it. Is it neccasary? What about the safety issues? How is this going to help the environment, safety of others, driving issues, fuel usage, and many other things? In this essay, i have many things to discuss and question as to why the development of driverless cars don't seem like something neccesary to fund.
In my eyes, cars are some of the coolest things ever made. I consider myself to be a "car guy" if you will. I have had a passion for cars since i was a little boy and I have always liked the idea of going fast and making the car faster. Driverless cars, in my eyes, are like taking the racer out of an INDY Car. Who is going to replace that skilled racer? Sure, we have the technology for it but is it really neccesary? Excluding calculators for math answers and Google for searching up history, I would rather put myself behind the wheel of a car rather than a computer. I trust myself to drive an interstate more than i do a computer to do it for me. A computer doesnt have the same reflex skills as a human would. If another driver swerves in front of me while driving, am I going to have a better chance of dodging them quicker than the computer and cameras would? I believe you cant always depend on technology to save you. Sometimes you have to take it into your own hands. Personally, I belive that driving a car myself is more enjoyable than someone or something doing it for me. I have always wanted to experience the rush and adrenaline of driving a Top Fuel Dragster at the NHRA. If i had the opportunity, i would never let a computer do that for me. There are many people who think this way as well.
Another issue with this technology is the safety of it. As i stated in the last paragraph, who is going to dodge a swerving car faster; the computer, or myself? If im paying attention then i have a much better chance of doing it quicker than the computer. What if it malfunctions? No technology ever invented is fool proof or issue free. At some point in time, something breaks, needs replaced, or just gets too old. Its the same thing with original car parts as well. Everything gets old and needs replaced at some point in time. What am i to do if my driverless car malfunctions on the road? Safety is always a major concern.
I agree that there a many pros to go along with the Driverless Car. But with most pros, there is a con to go with it. A pro of the driverless car would be the stress relief. Technology is something that makes life easier. But the con is that you cant always depend on technology to work 24/7. Another pro would be simply how amazing it is that a car is actually driving itself. The con for this is the actual cost. How much will this technology cost to develop? The economy is always changing paces and it isnt always possible for everyone to own the lastest and greatest technology. Im also very sure that the maintenance and repair cost of something like this would be through the roof just like any other technological advancement.
In conclusion, I disagree with the production of the driverless car. I believe it takes away the joy of the ride, along with the safety of it as well. The human factor of the driving machine will always play a vital role in every day transportation. The human could be the deciding factor between safety and reliability. | 3 |
"BOOM, CRASH!" That is the sound of 2 cars crashing together. The first queston asked will be "How did this happen?" The answer, Driverless Cars. People believe that if all cars are driverless they wont have to pay attention to the roads. Why should they have to? The car they are driving will do everything for them. Drivers today barely pay attention to the road as it is now they wanna give them a reason why they don't have to. There are alot of distractions now a days for example, text messages,a phone call, car radio, women applying make up, an adult late for work, etc. If they have driverless cars they will think being distracted is okay. BMW says that the car will alert the driver when the driver needs to take over control is a smart idea but, you can't expect someone to drops what they're doing just to take over the wheel. If they are distracted they might not even see the signal. The next question to be asked is who is to be blamed for the accident. Technically the person was not driving, the car was. So what will the other person have to do sue the company? Or will the driver still be responsible because they were in the driver seat? Would that person have had the abilitiy to stop the car even if they seen the accident about to happen? There are so many questions that come along with the driverless car. As oppsed to that the normal car that has been around for years is easier to understand. The driver must pay attention to the roads at all times and self opperate the vehicle. If there was to be and accident where the driver crashed into another driver, the driver will be responsible for all the damages and fines because they were opperating that vehicle. Why change what is safer and traditional to something dangerous and that people would hve to try to adjust to something new? Driverless cars are not something that should be put out into he public. | 2 |
I am for the technology to read students' emotions. This technology would help people. But after you find their mood then you should talk to them about it and ask them if they want to talk about. Most people that anger or sad they do not want to talk about, or people don't ask how your day is going. So this technology would help some kids that need help and i think i would make schools safe too.
It says' in the article that "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored." This would also help kids that are struggling in class and could get them more help. This would let the teacher know who needs help and who does not need the help. I think people would have better grades because the teacher would know to help, or they would feel better after talking about what is wrong. This technology could change everthing in schools.
This is why i think this technology should be a thing because it would schools and even works. This would make it better in the world to make people happy. I think people would talk about what is wrong if you ask them because you want the students mad or upset inn class. They would not learn as much becasue they would be thinking about what is wrong. This technology should be a thing. | 1 |
changing it from Electroral college to popular is grate idea . it be easay to tell wtich state voted for the president the most also you don't have to recount the votes.
the problem with electoral college is that voters dont vote for the president but a slate of the electors who in turn elect the president .
the electoral vote caused the 2000 fiasco it was the biggest Election crisis in a deacades where they had to recounnt the stat votes and electors the system failed to keep count of the votes.
the electors college is unfair to voters .because of the winner take all system in each state candidates don't spend time in states they know they have no chances of winning .
seventeen states didn't see the candidates at all they didn't even get chance to see a single ad about them .
to top it all off changing from electoral to popualr is less hassel and less choas for the people and santes . | 1 |
How did the author suppored his idea?
The author supports his idea of " Studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers" by explaining how dangerous Venus is. Some examples of what the author said about how dangerous is to explore Venous are;
" A thick atmosphere of Almost 97 percent of carbon dioxide blankets Venus". "Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus'd atmosphere". " Venus has the hottests surface temperature of any in oure solar system, even though Mercury is the closer to our sun".
One of the reasons that the author said why "studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers" is, " A thick Atmosphere of Almost 97 percent of carbon dioxide blankets Vanus" which meants that it make dangerous for the people who wants to go explore to Venus to past the atmosphere of Venus, another reason that can make dangerous for the people to past Venus's atmosphere is, "Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere. One more reason about why is dangerous for the who people wants to explore Venus is " Venushas the hottest surface temperature of any in our solar system, even thoug Mercury is the closest to our sun" this means that the hottest of Vanus can put in risk the health of the people who wants to study the land.
In conclution, the author supported well his Idea about studying Venus is a " worthy pursuit despite the dangers" by explaining the dangers of trying to go through the atmosphere, the dangers of land in Venus and how can land in vanus can put in risk the health of th epeople who wants to earn knolledge about Venus. | 1 |
I have been to tons of places around the world. I would want lots of people to be a Seagoing Cowboy. I got to visit Europe and China. Then we would go help others after wars. I would help by giving food supply and animals to people who needed them. You could do the same too.
However, we got to see the Acropolis in Greece. Our crew also got to go on a Gondola ride in Venice to Italy. Then we went to a castle in Crete and to Panama Conal. The crew would help animals that we would bring on the ship to send to other countries. We would spend the rest of our time playing fun games together.
When I got to help people I also got to see that part of the country. I have made nine trips. More than any of other Seagoing Cowboy. You could probably go on more trips. We had to have 335 horses and food to take to Greece. Before that, we had to report to New Orleans.
When I turned 18 I could've been drafted to military but when they learned that I was on a cattle-boat trip they didn't make me. I was already helping other people out there. We helped people by recovering their food supplies, animals, and more. So you should benefit others and join us. It would help us and other people out there.
If you enter the Seagoing Cowboys you could sight all the countries in the world. You would also get to help others that have been hurt, and raise animals to give to others. This is a great way of helping other people with out anything. You would also get to explore other parts of the world. This is why you should join the Seagoing Cowboys. | 2 |
It is a very complex system when it comes to electing the president. The system is called the Electoral College. Citizens of the United States think that they are 'actually' voting for their new presient but the are not. They are merly being led on by the government but their vote does count for someting. I myself think that we should keep the system of the electoral college because we vote for who we want through the electorals but not everybody agrees on the concept of the Electoral College.
Electoral College is a very boring concept but it is one way how the nation keeps running. In
What Is the Electoral College?
it hepls people understand what the electoral college is. "The Electoral Collge process consisits of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the elctoral votes by Congress." But before the electors vote they have to 'get' their votes from the votes of the citizen on who they want as president. So we are still voting but by people (electors) who base thier votes off ours.
Many citzens disagree with the system of voting a president. From the article
Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defense of the system are wrong it states that "..according to a Gallup poll in 2000, taken shortly after Al Gore...won the popular vote but lost the presidency." How is that even possible? The reason Al Gore did not win presidency was he did not have the 270 electoral votes (thats how many you need to win presidency). Citzens were furious because they want Al Gore as president not Bush. None the less even if the government fixed the so called problems people would always find something they do not like about the electoral college.
So based of everything ny opinion does not matter and nor does yours becuase our nation has had the Electoral College for at least 100 years. Of course people complain that it is not fair but it keeps the nation running. So it comes down to wheather our votes count or f they do not. But what if the United States did not elect the president by the Electoral College or by popular votes how would the president be elected? | 2 |

The "Evening Star" or Venus the second closest planet from the sun. The author supports the idea of studying it but despite the dangers. It is very dangerous to be examine more precisely. Since it is referred as the Earth's Twin between size and everything; It has other difficulties to it. As the author supports this idea; he proves some very important facts on why we shouldn't examine it. It would not be safe for any human beings to travel.
Venus or the "Evening star"; it has it very own difficulties on its planet alone. As the autor writes, "A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere... temperature average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit,". The author proves a point here since we don't have that experience on Earth. The conditions are far too extreme that any human have ever experienced before. The author proves another point here in this statement. "... over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and out of their way...but the air pressure would be close of that sea level on Earth." The humans wouldn't be able to handle the conditions in Venus. The author supports the idea that it shouldn't be a good idea to study about Venus with all it's dangers.
In conclusion, The author has proven many many points on why this study would be very dangerous. Human beins can't handle the pressure or the heat that takes off from Venus. It has a thick atmosphere that would be over 800 degrees Fahrenheit. It would have a worthy pursuit but with all the dangers that it has. The author has proven his point clearly on why it should be a good idea despite the dangers from it. | 2 |
Visiting a different planet would be nice. Exploring different places would be nice. I think there should be another planet or another place to visit and get out of this boring place we are at right now. I think that we should explore new places and not just stay where we are at now. That is boring just staying in once place without traveling. So I think that scientists should figure out something about Venus, that way we can all travel to a different place.
Doing research on another planet would be great. I think we would all figure out something to do and not just do nothing. Venus could be a great one to study and acknowledge. You can figure out so many things in Venus. It would not be much of a difference from earth because the Earth, Venus, and Mars are like neighbors. The only difference is that the speeds are different and that means that we are sometimes closer to Mars and other times Venus. So if scientists or people from the NASA go visit Venus and try to see how it is and how it works, we would be able to find a solution to visit that planet.
The reason why nobody has landed on Venus in more than 3 decades is because they can not last more than a few hours. That is why no one can go land on their planet. Humans can not go on it which makes that difficult for the planet to be researched and touched. There is a thick atmosphere of almost 97% carbon dioxide that covers Venus up. Also something more challenging is that Venus clouds are highly corrosive sulfuric acid in the atmosphere. Something else is that their temperatures average is over 800 degrees fahrenheit and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we expierence on our own planet. So therefore, Venus is the hottest planet even though Mercury is closer to the sun. Venus also has erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning. All that makes it hard for spaceships to land.
A good reason why scientists want to research Venus is because once it was like Earth planet. Venus once was covered by oceans and could have support living life just like we have today in Earth. Today, it still has a few living lifes that we know on our own planet. Venus has a rocky surface and also includes features like valleys, mountians, and craters. Scientists might make a trip safe going back and forth from Venus, but as in right now they are making better inventions to go travel around and make it safe. They might take a chance and get their safe.
In conclusion, I think scientists should make very better inventions to get other to Venus so they can do more research. I would like them to announce how they can make Venus into another planet like ours they we live in right now. I think it would be good to make this a research and then make more good assumptions on how we can make Venus work. | 2 |
Being a Seagoing Cowboy is a very neat thing to do. I think that everyone should join the Seagoing Cowboys program because you get to travel over water. By traveling over water you can see fun things like sea animals and you can also visit cool places.
If you like animals or if you take care of animals then this is the thing for you because you get to take care of animals so that way they can get to where they are going safely. Plus if you have never done it before, it would be a pretty cool experience because you also get to feed the animals on the boat ride and you get to give them something to drink.
This would also be a fun and creative program because you get to do cool thing like watch dolphins and fish and all of the other sea creatures swim. The way that this would be a creative program is because you could make up names for the animals. In the text it says, "The cattle-boat trips were an unbelievable opportunity for a small-town boy." So in that sentence, it proves that being a seagoing cowboy was a fun experience. | 1 |
I think many people would love doing the seagoing cowboys program. If you are a country type of person or even a city person you could still do it. I am about to tell a few reasons you should do it. Here are some If you like animals, if you like exploring, if you want money, and even if you like to try new things, this would be a great thing for you.
the first reason is if like animals you would love this job. We take care of cattle. You get to feed them, brush them, clean their stall, and even lead them off the boat. You have to take care of almost 335 horses plus hay and oats to feed them.
Also if you like to explore the world around you this would be a good opportunity to do so. We have visited Europe, China, and other places. I seen the Acropolis in Greece, I took a gondola ride in Venice,Italy. I also toured an excavated castle in Crete and marveled at the panama Canal on my way to China. There are some other reasons to join the program.
Another reason is you could get paid. You could get payed by the trip or you can get paid every hour. I do not know how you get paid or how much you get paid. All I know is if you want money then join this program.
The Second to last reason you might like this is because we travel far distances. If you like to travel you should do this. It took me and my crew about two weeks to cross the Atlantic Ocean from the eastern coast of the United States and a month to get to China. Even if you do not like long distance trips caring for the animals will keep you busy.
The last reason is we can still have fun by playing games in our spare time. Me and my crew play Volleyball, Baseball. Table-Tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and games also helped pass the time.
I hope you read this and thought it through. I am glad you took time to read this, and hope to see you on one of my trips. We will have fun orking with the animals together. Hope to see you There!!! | 2 |
Is the use of a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System valuable to read the emotional expressions of sudents in a classroom?. In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" by Nick D'alto, the author describes how a new technolgy called the Facial Action Coding System enables computer to identify human emotions. It is a new software that has been developed that improves accuracy in perceiving the emotions of others, and, has promissing applications for a variety of industries. The use of this new technology is valuable to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom because it recognizes whether a sudent is boring or confused, it detects 6 basic emotions and even mixed and it hepls the person not only to express the emotions but to produce them.
School brings a lot of emotions to the students, they might be good or bad feelings. But the most common feelings seen by the techers are boredom, and confusion from the students, sometimes the teachers are not able to identify those emotions, since students just might fake a smile and the teacher will be satisfied that the student is doing just fine or thewy might be confused but afraid to speak up so they just sit there like everything is just normal. So, how might the teacher be able to identify these emotions? The Facial Action Coding System has the answer. In the passage it states "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored". It also states "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective e human instructor". By this evidence , the author tries to persuade the reader to get more into this new technology and how it is just not a software but a valuable thing. With this technology it would be easier for the teacher to identify when one or more students are bored; this would allow them to think throught about changing a new method to teach so the studetns don't get bored in class. It also helps them to notify when a student is confused on a topic, so the teacher would be able to take the necessary time to explain and explain until the student is able to understand the new topic learned. The mayority of students nowdays don't care about school or just don't get the new topic learned, but teachers try their best to help them, but they think everything is just fine, so they don't bother on asking or trying harder. Communication is the key to success but they don't implement it, so what is best than a new tehnology to help out a little.
There are 6 basic emotions; happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness and there are even people that have not only one but two mixed emotions at the same time.. Wouldn't it be great to be able to recognize when a person is having these emotions?. This new technology is here to help. In the passage it states "Eckman has classified six basic emotions... and then associated with characteristic movements of the facial muscles". It also states "The software can even identify mixed emotions (as in Da Vinci's masterpiece). Each expression is compared against a neutral face(showing no emotion)". This evidence illustrates by the aouthor shows how great and advanced this technology is, being able to identify not only one emotion, but more than one at the same time, letting the world know, but most important the teachers in a classroom that they don't have to worry more about to be able to identify by guessing how a student is doing, because this technology has the answers. It is so hard to identify when a person is feeling all types of feelings and not be able to help out becuase no one knows what the mixed feelings are . Teachers have a rough time with students trying to figure it out. But with ths technology teahcers would be more notified of the problem, so they create a scenari to help them out.
Emotions are everywhere, everyone experience at least one of them. This new technology not only helps the person to express an emotion but to produce them. A teacher in a classroom is able to teach but sometimes they are not able to transmit the feeling of learing to the students, and the new technology Facial Action Coding System would be a lot of help. In the passage it states "The Mona Lisa is really intented to bring a smile to your face, while it shows just how much this computer can do". It also states "Most human communication is nonverbal, incluiding emotional communication". By this evidence the author projects how this new technology is capable of doing just anything and how it helos to improve the best on a classroom, helping out not only the students but the teachers. With this new technology teachers would be able to get the students to be more interested in the class, leading them to get a good grade, and to the understanding of every new topic.
Now, Do you think this new technology called the Facial Action Coding System is valuable to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom?. By being able to detect 6 basic emotions and even mixed emotions, to recognize whether a student is bored or confused and by helping the person not only to express the emotion but to produce it, it is shown that this new technology is valuable. Communication is one of the basic steps to create a better living world but sometimes communication is just not implemented in society. So the help of this new technology is needed. A teacher woulld be able to help a student is they knew if the students where confused or bored. They would try different types of ways to get back the attention of the students so they can do good in the calls. Another reason is being able not only to know one emotion but multiple emotions; Teachers wouldn't have to be guessing the emotions of the studetns, and the time lose trying to guess their emotions, they would be finding ways to help the student solve their problem, becuase they already know what is going on. In the classroooms it is very hard for the sdtudents to concentrate in a very boring topic, and the teachers just will continue beuase the sdtudents just don't communicate or show anything else than just a black emotion and this new technology is able to get the person to express the emotion. Is really interesting what this technology can do. | 4 |
It's FACTS That We Don't Need FACS
Being in school brings out a mix of emotions in every student. Wether the student is stressed, happy, or sad depends on many different variables. A student can feel these emotions because of a situation at home, a problem with a friend, and obviously because of the lessons or schoolwork going on in class. Can a machine truly and effectively montior these emotions? Is a machine like this really needed in the current education system? It's not, The use of the Facial Action Coding System to read the emotional expressions of students in a calssroom is not valuable.
First of all, human emotions are complex. The article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" gave us several examples of muscles in the human face that were used when expressing emotion. A couple examples of these are the "frontalis pars lateralis," and the "orbicularis oris." Although these muscles and the parts of the face they move are an important part of dictating emotion, that's not all there is to understanding emotion. Body language is a massive part of emotion. The FACS may register a happy smile, but it won't see slouching shoulders. The text even states that, "Each expression is compared against a neutral face (showing no emotion.)" This means the FACS reads a blank expression as showing no emotion. What if someone with a person with a blank expression is conveying emotion through body language? Being a student and teenager, body language is a huge part of communication. With the FACS not being able to read body language, that's already a giant hole in its value.
Next, how useful would this technology be outside of an elementary school setting? The answer is absolutely not useful. In elementary school the teacher caters to each students' needs. They're able to do so because you have the same 20 to 30 kids every minute of every day for 180 schools days. But, in middle school and high school students have seven to eight different teachers throughout the day. Middle and high school teachers don't have the one on one time to cater to their students. As cold as it sounds, middle and high school teachers simply might not even care about their students feelings. At least not to the degree an elementary teacher would. Teachers in the upper levels have a strict set of standards that they need to teach. Students must then master those standards to pass the class. There isn't enough time for an upper level teacher to care about their students' emotions.
Finally, students are kids. Kids experience a plethora of emotions throughout the day. Even though, "The facial expressions for each emotion are unviersal," what would one use the information gathered from FACS for? Dr. Huang believes that, "it [FACS] could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." The fact that the text states that FACS is just as effective as a human teacher completely renders itself useless. If Dr. Haung, the software engineer of FACS, believes that this machine performs on an equal level to a human, there is absolutely no need for the FACS. As previously mentioned, upper level teachers do not have the time to modify their lesson plans due to their students emotions. That fact alone removes the need for the FACS.
In conclusion, the use of FACS is not valuable to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom. The FACS does not have a place in the current education sytem. With evidence from the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" it is clear that the FACS is only on the same level of reading emotions as, "an effective teacher." This renders the FACS not only as useless to students in a classroom, but also as a likely massively more expensive alternative to human teachers. | 5 |
This is not valuable to have in a classroom with students , it could casue problems with each other depending on how someone feels about what one another is talking about. This is also not valuable because what if the computer messes up and read a persons emotions the wrong way , you can always put a fake smile on your face just like when it says while looking in the mirror to raise the corners of your mouth , thats fake smiling. This also seems very personal , what if you didnt want somebody knowing how your feeling you didnt want to tell anybody then somebody brings a computer towards your attention just so it can read you . It says to an expert that faces dont lie , that is certianly not true i've seen so many faces lie just like on t. v how they say they put on a fake smile making everybody think that there just oh so happy but in reality there really hurting .This would also kind of do good in a classroom to help out confused kids when there to shy to ask for help , but this also could be bad because if the computer just throws the kid on the spot it would make the kid even more shy or nervous then what they already are. So no i dont think this is valuable in the classroom but then again it could help out alot. | 2 |
The author explain how there is a posobility that people can still study about thing that they are never going to see in person, it is worth t to study Venus right now even if you can't acually go and see it with your eyes at least you're going to know a lot of thing about it. The author talks about porbably getting hurt if you try to get close to it but you can still find so many ways to get to it.
Some evidence from the text that you can use that tell you that it can be good to study about Venus is in paragraph 4 says, "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth like planet in our solar system. Long ago, Venus was orobably coveres largelt with oceans and could have supported various forms of life,just like Earth". These sentences just describs how they are actually talking about it and letting people know that it's fine to find knew thing just earth. We never thought earth was going to be save but we still came and learned a lot of it through out the years. Another reason why i chose these quotes was because it tells you that you havetokeep looking and finding knew thing all the time.
Another example from the text on why we should keep studdying knew this is in paragraph 7 it says, These devices were first envisioned in the 1800s and plays an important role in the 1940s world war 2". This sentence just shows how they knew that by just studying and learning new thngs everything. In conclusion the author is right we should all keep studying new things all the time. | 1 |
Why do I think that the Face on Mars was not created by aliens? I think that ,because on April 5, 1998 Mars Orbiter Camera team took a picture of the Face on Mars ten times sharper than the orginal picture in 1976 by the Viking. My second reason why I don't believe that aliens created the Face on Mars, is becase on April 8, 2001 Malin's team took a picture of the Face on Mars. Not only is believing that the Face on Mars was created by aliens is illogical, but many pictures have been taken, there is still not a single sign of aliens.
My first reason why I don't think the aliens created the Face on Mars is because the MOC team snapped a photo of the Face on Mars ten times sharper, so you could see more clearly. You could see clearer than the orginal Viking photos. When the web surfers saw the picture, all they could see was a natural landform. Not any sign of aliens. My piont is that the clearer the pictue gets, the less it reveals that aliens created the Face on Mars.
According to the article ''Unmasking the Face on Mars'', "Malins team captured an extraordinary photo using the camera's absolute maximum resolution.'' Garvin told them. Compared to the 1976 photo taken by the Viking, the newer camera spans 1.56 meters for each pixel. This camera allows you to discern objects in a digital image three times bigger than the pixel size. Garvin told the author of ''Unmasking the Face on Mars.'' People who believe that aliens created the Face on Mars can not argue that it was cloudy in that picture for it was taken in the summer, unlike the previous picture. The picture that Malin's team took had no signs of aliens.
My last reason as why not aliens did not create the Face on Mars is because it's illogical. Using common sense you should be abe to see in all of these pictures that there is no sign of aliens. Photo after Phote prove that aliens did not create the Face on Mars.
All three of these reasons are why I don't think aliens created the Face on Mars. I believe that it's just natural landform. | 3 |
Exploring Venus clearly has it's challenges. The exploration of an unknown area always has benefits with the information that can be uncovered, but it is almost never easy. Planets in general all hold many barriers for studying done by scientists and researchers. The author of this article suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents by proving that Venus may have once been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system, and that Venus is the nearest option for a planetary visit. The author also claims that The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has a solution to make visiting Venus safer.
First of all, the author says that Venus may have once been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. In the text, it says, "Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too." Venus is or once was clearly somewhat similar to Earth, and that will help scientists to be able to find out information about our own planet along with another planet that may seem the most reasonable to study. In the text, it also says,"Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. Long ago, Venus was probabnly covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth. Today, Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth. The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters." All of these characteristics of Venus make the planet more interesting and reasonable for studying. Considering the fact that the planet is very similar to Earth, the planet may also give us insight of our own planet, with the similarities that can and have already been drawn.
Secondly, Venus is the nearest option for a planetary visit. In the text, it says, "Furthermore, recall that Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit, a crucial consideration given the long time frames of space travel." This clearly proves that studying Venus is worth the pursuit because it is not going to take as long as other planets will to get to. Traveling in space, as the author said, can take a very long time, and that makes Venus a lot more accessible than most other planets. Studying Venus cuts down a major barrier that scientists and astronomers would have to work around for many other planets, and that is time.
Lastly, NASA has a solution to make studying Venus safe. In the text, it says, "NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray...At thirty-plus miles above the surface, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth. Solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth levels. Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans." NASA's solution solves many problems with studying Venus. The many factors like air pressure, heat, and radiation are lowered to survivable numbers for humans. Without this solution from NASA, the conditions of Venus are not survivable for a time period long enough to actually gain any information about the planet. In the text, it also explains that scientists and researchers would need to get up closer in order to actually gain insight about the planet. Although this is true, NASA is working on other solutions like simplified electronics made of silicon carbide that can last for up to three weeks in the conditions of Venus. All of these solutions can help to make studying Venus less risky and dangerous, and therefore worth the risk.
In conclusion, studying Venus provides a true challenge to scientists, researchers, and more. The author of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" provides evidence to researchers and scientists that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers because Venus is or was very similar to Earth. The author also says that Venus is accessible because of it's distance from Earth and the time it would take to reach it. The author also provides NASA's solutions to the dangers of studying Venus. The advantages of studying Venus have been proven, but much must be done before any up close studying will occur. | 3 |
The Automobile Industry has done nothing but grow since World War II. The Car has begun to implement itself into our culture, becoming a part of sporting events, TV shows, and even video games. Recently, however, the automobile industry has been experiencing a shift in interest. Countries around the world are implementing "Car Free Days," or even car-free cities into their laws and cultures. The new laws and ideas are seen by some as irrelevant, or pointless, and some have even resisted these laws. While car lovers and enthusiasts may not enjoy the laws very much, when implemented on their daily lives, studies have shown that the new ideas are extremely important, maybe even revolutionary.
The car free environment begins in the German suburbia, where residents of a large community called Vauban live their daily lives Car-Free. Vauban is free of street parking and driveways, and full of cyclists, skateboarders, roller bladers, and any other emmision free means of transportation you can imagine. Because of this, nearly 3 out of 4 families in Vauban do not own cars. "When I had a car, I was always tense. I'm much happier this way," said Heidrun Walter, mother of 2 and resident of Vauban, Germany, mentioned in source 1. Car owners in Vauban park the vehicles in garages at the edge of town, to make commutes to nearby developments. Car free cities like Vauban are believed to be the next step to a greener, better world.
More efforts like Vauban are being made in large cities like Paris, France and Bogota, Columbia. According to source 2, Paris recently enforced a law to reduce emmisions, where even number plated cars may drive on Monday, and odd number plated cars my drive on Tuesday, and so on. The laws soon proved ineffective after a short time, for Paris to recind them. Paris, being one of the most polluted European cities, will certainly be making more efforts against pollution. An improvement campaign in Bogota, Columbia calls for one whole day without cars, according to source 3. Citizens are urged to take other means of transportation, like bikes or busses. Violators faced a $25 fine. The dark gray rainclouds didn't stop the citizens of Bogota from taking away stress and air pollution. This year, for the first time, two other cities, Cali and Valledupar, joined Bogota in the event. Cities around the world like Paris and Bogota are making efforts to reduce air pollution and leading better lives in cleaner cities.
Driving in America hit it's peak in 2005, when the number of miles driven in relationship to population was largest, according to source 4. Since then, the stats have dropped steadily, now sitting 9% below what it was in 1995. Many sociologists believe that the biggest decrease in milage is shown in young people between 16 and 39. Studies show that driving by these people decreased 23% between 2001 and 2009. Many experts now believe that America's car culture has hit its peak, and is now on the decline.
There are many advantages of limiting car usage. The people of Bogota, Vauban, and Paris know that in most cases, cars cause stress, and that even a day without it can refresh your mind. The citizens of Vauban, who do not use cars in their daily lives, are living comfortably, and happily, without producing carbon emmisions into the environment. Even Americans are jumping on the band wagon, where young people are now using cars only when public transport is unavailable. Cars make moving easy, there is no doubt in that. But can the emmisions of the vehicles be avoided, without sacrificing the quality of our daily life? According to Vauban, Bogota, and Paris, it can be done, and it will be done. | 3 |
As the years fly by, technology becomes more advanced without us even noticing it. Wheter it's new phones, or a new way of searching the web. You name it! Technology has become a high part of society. Why? New inventions pop up faster each and every year, making it a living essential for many around the world .More scientist asks themselves, what more can they do. Which leads into the topic of driveless cars.
First, In 2009, Google introduced us to the science of driveless cars. Each time they worked on it, it would gain even more features. Including steering, and other navigation services. Even though it is driveles, the car will still the driver when it comes to parking, and road side construction. Google feels that this has been in the minds of
others for years. Giving them the inspiraton to give it a try.
So what excatly does drivless mean? Actually it's more like a assisting instead of really driving, since it can only do the basics. Personally, i feel it could be a bit unessacary to have drivless cars;they aren't truly needed. I could see this being help to those who are disabled, or maybe those who have trouble seeing. I don't feel the need for everyone in the world "needing" them, but those who truly do should have them. At the end of the day, we're using driveless cars to help, not to spoil others.
Lastly, safety is a huge part to play when driving. Watching for others cars and pedestrians is super important. Driveless cars are known to be safe, until someone disobeys the rules. There could be an issue when an owner of a driveless car abuses the rules they were given, and causes an accident. I think a lot more can be brought into the making of these driveless cars such as more monitoring and/or children safety. More time should definitely be put into this project before they release it out to the world as a commericial car.
In conclusion, technology is rapidly improving. Millions of ideas come to life before we can blink. Society is what inspires many to come up with projects that could one day become a vital part of our future. Though, i am not the biggest fan of driveless cars, i do believe that they could change the world. Changing the world has become not only a goal, but a dream. | 3 |
Driverless cars could truly change the world. They are some very small problems that could easily be fixed with a small amount of time and effort. The benefits of driverless cars include, public transportaion for everyone, half of the fuel consumed, and more flexibility than a bus. That is why driverless cars are the best option to keep progressing out technology today.
Energy consuption is a big problem in our time's right? In the text it says the cars Google founder Sergey Brin foresee's, use half of the fuel that today's taxis use. They would also have more felxibilty than a bus. Not only will this save energy and money, it will help everyday citezens with transportation.
Nevertheless, there are some few problems to this innovation. In the text it talks about waiting for the law to change traffic laws. What if the technolgy fails and someone is injured? Will the driver or the manufator be sued? Well this problem has many solutions and ther is no need to hesitate to find one. The solution could range from some special driverless car insurance, to the manufactor to pay all the cost since it techincally is his fault.
In conclusion, driverlees cars are definetly the future, why are we hesitating? Is it because they are some small legal problems that can not be fixed? We have solved much more complex problems ranging from solving a Rubik's cube to big political ones. This is our future and we should pursue it. | 2 |
Exploring Venus
I wounder why Venus called the "Evening star" I think venus sometimes call the evening star because its a bright planet and it shine like a star & its the second planet from our sun. And venus referred to earth's twin because venus is the closest planet to earth. If I was an anstronount I would love to explore venus because it would be fun to be walking on venus.
Most people should join venus just to see how it look and how is it. I think NASA
as our jet airplanes travel at higher altitude to fly over many storms to go into space and explore many plants.
The national aeronautics and space administartion have done a great job when they go into space and discover planets. I think it is very cool to go on other planets venus is sometimes closers to mars. The earth rotated its self and people dont nocited it.
The sun is the hottest planet in the solar system it is over 100's degrees. Long ago venus was probaly coverd largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life just like earth.
Today, venus still has some features that are analogous to those on earth but venus is one of the best planet in the solar system. | 0 |
I would be against the self driving cars. There are plenty of reasons. They could always breakdown and instead of being able to fix a flat or something, it could be worse like the circut blew on the GPS or something. The cars could get into more accidents than actual people could cause. The cars could misslead you to your destination. Those are just a few things that could go wrong.
The reason I am against this is because, it would cost so much to get the parts fixed. The parts that you need the; GPS, Sensors, Radar, ect. "Radar was a device ona hilltop that cost 200 million dollars (paragraph 6, line 7-8)". So no mater what the cars are not worth that much. It simply is going to cost more to fix one of these cars than it is to a regular car.
Another reason is that, what if we do get the cars. If we get the cars whole bunch of laws will be changed. If they change the laws on cars what would happen to the people who still drive themselves without anyone else driving them. "...if traffic laws change, then laws will be needed in order to cover liabillty in the case of an acciedent (paragraph 9, lines 9-11). So if they change laws then people would have to learn a whole bunch of different laws.
Another reason is, what if technology fails on the car. What would happen if you got into a wreck? What if it wasnt your fault, it was the car? " If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at falt--- the driver or the manufacturer? (paragraph 9, lines 11-12)". If the car breaks down and causes an accident it could hurt someone really bad if not kill them.
There are plenty of reasons why driverless cars shouldn't be permited on the streets. It could cost alot, hurt alot of people, and or cause people to have to learn alot more than what they need. So intend I am against having driverless cars. | 2 |
The concept of selfdriving cars is something often fantacized about in media and amongst individuals themselves. Although this piece of technology, whilst seemingly far away, is now becoming more science than fiction. Google has been working with extreme effort to produce some of the worlds first self driving cars, and they're quickly approaching their goal. This may be great news to some, but to others this is a warning of an automated automoblie catastrophe. This essay is being written to prove to those people that self-driving cars are a beautiful innovation which the modern world definitely needs.
Sergey Brin, cofounder of Google, explains that the driverless cars of the future would use half of the gas that today's taxis use. With the threat of global warming starting to become apparent, fuel consumption is definitely a primary concern with that issue. If global warming doesn't concern anyone, surely paying for 50% less gas is quite a plus then. Another bonus to these cars is that they provide a more comfortable, quiet, and personal experience of travel, rather than any public transportation available. Also, considering that the car would drive itself, this allows the driver to accomplish other tasks like sending email or calling family. Now, some people may be questioning the cars' ability to drive, especially in unusual situations. It's a given that these cars wont originally be flawless, and that they'll need some help along the way. That's why all of these cars go to certain measures to keep the driver attentive of the road incase human assistance is needed. Infact, the cars may eventually have displays that will render cellphones useless because the cars themselves can be used to text, call, etc., thus making them safer than a normal car.
In conclusion, self-driving cars are the way of the future, and they will benefit the realm of transportation in a countless number of ways. Whilst the cars aren't flawless yet, that is no reason to quickly dismiss them as science fiction. If given a proper chance to prove their value, this innovation will change the world. | 2 |
The car is one of our greatest inventions. It has completely reshaped the way we get around, unortunately cars are taking a hand in hurting our panet. Limiting car use is a great idea because its beneficial to your everyday life and it will help keep our environment clean.
Limiting car us would be very beneficial to our everyday life. Why, well yes cars are the best way to get where you need to go but they eat up alot of your living wage. Cars require alot of payments such as monthly payments, repairs, upkeep, and gas. If people started taking the bus or riding a bike then our enconomy would be on its way to improving with all the money people would save. Alot of people go in debt from car payments and gas prices an dit is very unfortunate. You would be alot happier if you removed the stress of trying to upkeep a car. Homeowners already have enough on their plate without having to keep up a money eating hunk of metal. Now I'm not saying that cars should be banned, what we should do is we should limit them. Alot of people have been happier with the removal of their car. Also alot of deaths have been from car accidents. They are dangerous machines and they should be limited. Yes I know it will be a hard adjustment, but its a good price to pay to save money and improve safety.
Smog is a big problem in countries around the world. And helping our environment is a pretty good reason to limit car use. Smog is not something we need to worry about in most of America, although the fumes released from cars do damage the ozone layer of our atmosphere. The sun releases solar flares from its surface and these solar flares hit our atmosphere. Fortunately it is strong enough to withstand the hits. But our atmosphere is weakening with all the fumes trapped inside eating it away from the inside and these solar flares could do alot of damage if they get through. Smog, like i mentioned earlier, is a big problem in places like Italy and Asia. This is because of constant fumes being pumped out of cars and factories. We are lucky that our environmental cnditions dont allow this to happen but the fumes are damagig our atmosphere and it needs to be stopped or at least reduced. If we keep going on this track we're heading on then we may not have breathable air or a livable environment in the future. And im sure nobody wants to have to put on protective gear every time they need to venture outside.
The car is one of our greatest inventions. It has completely reshaped the way we get around, unortunately cars are taking a hand in hurting our panet. Limiting car use is a great idea because its beneficial to your everyday life and it will help keep our environment clean. We have lived on this planet for over 2 thousand years, how about we start taking good care of it. | 2 |
in this article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" it talks about the dangers and harsh eviroment that venus has. Also shows how much of a hard task it is to get their technology up their with out it being destroyed due to the tempertures. The main objective of this article wants to point out that it is trying to studie the planet Venus because of its close resimblence to earth except for tempertures but the density and mass of it.
This article really does have a good point to it considering on how much time and studies go into this planet. one of their plans is to fray above the atmosphere just enough so that they are able to withstand most of the harsh conditions to last a good amount of time. They even tested it in a similar enviroment that they made acustomed to the same enviroment as venus has and it lasted 3 weeks at the most. But their are other things that they are thinking of doing such as they are thinking of using old technology that was presented around the 1940's just because "these devices make calculations by using gears and levers and do note require electronics at all." the point that they are trying to make is that mechanical stuff is more durable and modern technology. You see modern technology is flexible, powerful, and quick but mechanical gears are more capable of withstanding the extreme pressure and heat that venus can throw at them.
This planet is very old and it is to say that it once held a hospitable enviroment with oceans and trees and life as we now it. But as you can see, now it isn't doing very well so that is why we want to studie it because of its mysterious past. So as they said " our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." so what they are saying is that the limits are boundless. | 2 |
We have two neighbor planets Venus and Mars. But Venus is the closest to Earth in density, size and sometimes the closest in distance. Also Venus is called Earth's twin even though they are a lot differant.
But some people think that if we can get past all the bad weather sometime in the fucher we can go on it. We have sent space crafts their but none of them have lasted longer than a couple hours. The planet is very hard to study but, scientist think long ago that Venus was like Earth with large bodys of water and could suport life.
The plants weather is horrifiyng constant lightning, earthquakes, and even volcanos erupting. But their is silicon carbide that has been tested and represents Venus like chaos so scientist can study a little bit of how maybe Venus weather is and how it works. The atmosphear is 97% and with the clouds with high corrosive sulfuric acid in the atmosphear. With all of these varibles it would be rally hard to study. In the artical and like I said earlier long ago scientist think that Venus was alot like Earth and it might be possible to live on.
In the futer scientist beleive that we can study Venus better and understand how it works right now it is know as the hardest planet to study because of the condishions. And the planet has a rocky suface with valleys and, mountains, and craters.
The authors artical is good on how we should care about going and exploring Venus. And learning what happens and why and maybe even sometime in the futer living on Venus will happen, because it is so similar to Earth. | 2 |
The use of Facial Action Coding Systems is valuable. This technology would help teachers and students help understand how their classmates are feeling. The use of this technology would help with the way students learn and could help prevent serious issues with the students.
By using Facial Action Coding Systems it would help students become more engaged in class. In the article by Nick D'Alto he states, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored. Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor". By using this new technology it would provide an effective learning way for each individual student. The computer would be able to reconize how each student is feeling then would modify to what helps each indiviual get engaged and learn. This technology would help students get better grades and it would customize to exaclty what helps them get engaged.
This new technology would also help you reconize exactly how each person is feeling. Many people are stuggling through depression or even worse things and they are so afraid to open up. Some people just don't know how to open up to anyone and this technology would help express what each person is feeling. In this article it state, "Most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conves happy, worried, etc" (Nick D' Alto). Eventhough we might think we know how someone feels we never truly know what is going on. This technology could help bring in end to the depression that some students are going through alone.
This technology could also open up ways to reconize if people are lying. Nick D'Alto states, "Faces dont lie; these muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when a smiling politician or celebrity isn't being truthful". Being able to reconize how politicians or celebrities are feeling would help open up many truths to the world. For example if a student was to be lying you would be able to tell which could help out a lot in the classroom. Students might find it easy to lie which ends up getting the innocent introuble. This technology would bring an end to that.
The new technology called Facial Action Coding System enables us to identify humans emotions. This new technology would bring many different benefits to the world like helping people with their emotions, being able to reconize if people are lying, and it would help students become more engaged in their learning. Facial Action Coding System is a wonderful idea that should be brought into this world to help us get answers and help those who are going through a lot alone. | 4 |
I have some very good reasons for why I think that you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program. There are going to be some reasons why I think you should join the program. There will also be reasons why I took the job.
What you need to know about how to be a Seagoing Cowboy.
I think that you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program. I think that you should join it because I love it, I love working with the animals; I have a feeling you would too. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity, you can't pass it up. You will also get to go sightseeing in a lot of cool, different places.
These are some reasons why I think that you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program.
Here are some reasons why I took the job; and why I think you would like it.
When I first got out of highschool, I did not think that I would be working two part-time jobs. Or be so busy all of the sudden, the jobs were so boring, it was time for a change.
Then my friend Don Reist invited me to go to Eurpoe on a cattle boat. I couldn't deny it; this was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
I think that you will love the experince with the animals and nature.
But this job can also be very dangerous, I cracked my ribs and couldn't work for a couple of weeks because I fell off a slippery ladder.
You might need a love for animals and nature, and experince with working on a farm; but you also need to be very brave and be ready for anything that comes your way.
These are plenty of reasons why I think that you should be a Seagoing Cowboy. There are also reasons why I became a Seagoing Cowboy and what you need to know to be one. Please take my advice and try out the program. I think you will love being able to see cool stuff in different countries and working with the animals. Do not forget to be ready for anything that comes your way while you are on that boat.
Your friend,

In the aticle "unmasking the face of mars" they wanting you to believe thats there is some sort of rock formed as a face. This is wrong do not believe them. Need some reasons well here is three. They are doing this for money,they want to make it popular,and it took them a long time to make the very last conclusion.
In the article "unmasking the face on mars" people are saying that they see a face form with eyes,nose,and a human head. I believe that there is no face if you ask me. If you look closely to the picture in paragraph five it's clearly just a rock. NASA people are trying to proove there is a face is being shown. Trust me they are just trying to make a big theory.
Look at the article it says "the face on mars has since become a pop icon". It has starred in a hollywood film,appeared in books,magazines,radio talk shows and all. They want you all to make this formed rock popular they want you to make a big deal about it can't u see. There putting it on T.V,in movies,and on books its all for the money. Do not fall for any of there tricks. | 1 |
How valuable would a Facial Action Coding System in a classroom actually be? What kind of actions should take place after the information is recorded? Finaly, what other "great" sounding eduacational sytems that used new technology actually work ? In the classroom i have seen new processes like this one come and go usually not making it to the next generation of students. As a current student this comes from a first hand source on how technologies like this one are repetetive and seem forced onto modern eduacation.
Lets say an F.A.C.S were implemeted into the classroom and its program showed that students were about 40% happy. The next day the teacher decides to change up his method of teaching but couldnt satisfy the students enough to boost the percentages. This would become repetetive and translate into something that just feels like an extra step in eduacation because the teacher is forced to give feedback to the board and grow upon the bad percentages. This scenario sounds common due to the extra steps necesary to fulfill the technologies potential.
When learning something new information must be repeated to one's self more than one time to ensure that they remember better. This is not allways fun it takes hard work to fully
understand a topic. The simpler the learning process, the easier it is to learn. The emotions one feels when studying does not contradict if they will actually learn it or not. Following through with the process will show results if they are willing to pull through. Facial sensors are not needed to show how hard learning is.
Cost of the product will also affect the schools funds that could be used to do much more. Also to put one system in each classroom is an outrages idea.That much money could be used to improve schools in much better ways like having updated text books new uniforms for school teams or repairs on thebuilding.
The F.A.C.S | 3 |
Technology that is able to read your facial expression sounds pretty cool until it isn't. Technology like this does not seem very useful in schools. I think that technology like this is actually a waste of time because it can embarass someone at school, cause a problem with friends at school, and some people dont want others to know what they are feeling.
Being embarossed at school for feeling a certain way can cause bullying in school. Some of the much older may think of the person as weak are soft for having being told what emotion was read. Yes, you may be saying well it would also read their emotions too but they might not care. The bullying could get worse with their feelings being read aout loud. foe example, lets say a kid was being bullied for the machine saying he was feeling sad and the bullies are messing with him. He could get angry and cause the problem to become worse then it already was if the machine says he is feeling angry while his bullies are around him.
Friendships could be torn apart from this too. Friends feel a certain way about each other. They may feel like the other is a nusaince and dont see them as a friend. Now imagine that being said to you my a machine and this causes your friends to get made at you. It can pit strain on a lot of relationships to like when someone is around thier girlfriend or boyfriend the machine can say a bad interpretation of what that person was trying to say.
Some people may not want their feelings read out to them. They may be going through alot of pain and stress in their life that they are becoming suicidle. Its really not got to be thinking about suicide especially when this could be a teenager or a child. When their in class they may be feeling wierd about themselves and for someone being able to find out is pretty nerve racking. You might be saying to yourself, well this means it could prevent suicide in adolescents. Well as that is true they might not want people to find out they might want to deal with it on their own which is a tough thing to go through.
Problems like these are reasons that this technology is not important or valuable in school. Its actually a problem for the school it also depends on the bugdet not all schools will be able to afford it. Even though technology is flurishing and becoming more common in places around the world some things like human behavior and emotions should be left alone it is something that makes us who we are. | 2 |
This technology is very valuable to the class room. This program can change the way teachers aproch teaching. This program can help teachers to determain if a student is ready to move on to a higher level of learning. The FACS enables us to open a window into a new classroom.
This computer has the capability to read a persons emotions in real time. So in the middle of class most of the students get bord. This program can notify the teacher so he or she can change up the lesson plan for the next day. The program can also read confusion. One of the biggest worries of the teacher is that the student is just not getting it. The program can show that this spacific student is not getting the asignment or the task. Then the teacher can sit down with that student and celarify there confution.
The FACS can identify the diffrence between a genuine smile and a forced smile. Say a teacher is reavaluating there leson plan and wants to know what the students are acutally finding interesting or liking. This program can read the indavidule mucles in the face. The teacher can see if a student is lieing or not by using the program. Useing the program to tell if a student is lieing or not can not only save the child from harming him self but also keep him from harming others.
FACS can read six basic emotions. The ability to read these emotions are endless. This program reads the muslces of the face to find the emotion that is being protraed by the student. The code rcognises the facial muscles movements and asigns emotions to those jesturs. Knowing that the program can detect the smallest expretions can help a teacher identify wheather or not a student is ready to move on to the next level of learning or are they not ready for the next level. Being able to tell if a student is ready can alow the teacher to help them on the next step of the journy.
The FACS program has opened a window to the posobilities of a whole new way of learning. Its ability to read confusion and bordum can help better understand what the student is thinking. The ability to determin the difrence of a genuine and fake smile can keeo kids away from bad behavior. This program can not only change the schools but make them benifical to everyone. | 3 |
Your eyes can play tricks on your mind when looking at something you don't know if it is really there. Anything can be created. Also anything can be a lie. I'm argueing that the face on mars is just a natural landform.
I have numerous of claims about the face on planet mars to be a natural landform. First off how de we know that aliens are real, has anyone actually touch or seen one in real life. Then we have craters falling everywhere that must of happened to fall and make a face on planet mars. Then what if the rover on mars is messed up and the camers are not working correctly. Finally have scienctist ever tried using diffrent times in the day.
The article "Unmacking the Face on Mars" has many evidence to support my claims. One od the things the article said is that " Scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia, only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh."
Another thing the article stated " Afew 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 illusion of eyeys, nose, and mouth." After that they said " Thousands of anxious on JPL website revealing... natural landform.
I'm argueing that the face on mars is just a natural landform. So, dont believe everthing you see. Anything can be created. Anything can be a lie.Believe in your self do you think it is real? | 1 |
People say that technology is forever chaging, getting better, and more advanced. Some for the good, and some for the bad. Today they are trying to invent cars that drive themselves but still require a driver. However I don't feel like driverless cars are necessary in today's world. There is too much room for error, just like any piece of technology, there's errors, and things can break. Talking about driverless cars means to trust your life with some piece of technology. I want to be confident when I'm drivng, meaning, I'm in full control of what I'm doing. I don't want to have to blame anyone else but my self if I cause an accident.
The first acouple statements of the passage states " Can you imagine a time in the future when no one buys cars because no one needs them anymore? He envisions a future with a public- transport system where fleets of driverless cars form a public- tansport taxi system." I can't imagine a time like that because there a millions of people out there who are able to drive perfectly by themselves. I don't think that people want to have to rely on calling a driverless car to come pick them up to take them to work or go to other places. People like to be self sufficient, get up and go whenever they want to. People don't want anything holding them back or preventing them of what they want to do.
The passage also states "Most laws focus on keeping drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe, and law makers know that safety is best achieved with alert drivers. Still, even if traffic laws change, new laws will be needed in order to cover liability in the case of an accident. If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault- the driver or the manufacturer?" If they continue to go on with the idea of driverless cars, a lot of events have to go right for them. It's going to take a lot of time, to propose new driving laws and getting the technology where they want it to be. I belive if it's not broke, don't fix it. Also if there were to be an accident in one of these cars, the question of liability could cause a lot of problems and headaches. I question the safety of these cars and how reliable they are. I don't think that many people would trust their life with a car that can drive itself.
Driving is a privlage and a huge stepping stone in life. Driving also comes with alot of responsibility, and educates people on saftey, and help with social interaction. Driverless cars also take the fun out of driving. Most teenager boys and girls can not wait until they turn the legal age and can get behind the wheel and drive. Most teenager vison themselves driving anywhere and everywhere after they get their license. Going to driverless cars makes driving boring and doesn't teach young adults the respnsibility and importance of safety while driving. Paragraph 8 states " Why would anyone want a driverless car that still needs a driver? Wouldn't drivers get boared waiting for their turn to drive?" It also limits what they learn, like the laws and rules of the roads while driving. Driving is neccessary in most people's lives today, and a lot of people enjoy driving.
Driverless cars sound like they can be very expensive. If Sergey Brin's envision holds true, where are they going to get the money to provide cars for evryone in the world who needs them?
I do not support driverless cars because there is too much room for error, I don't want to rely on a car to pick me up and take me places. Driverless cars limit the learning potential about driving for beginner drivers. Drivng is fine the way it is now, they just need to focus their attention on the cars people drive today.
Although these cars might sound like a good idea now, but could cause a lot of unneccesary chaos in the future. Would you trust your life with a piece of technology that drives you where you desire? | 3 |
This artical shows that Dr. Huang could maybe idntify human emotions on an computer, but they would have to scan your face to prove exactly what you might be feeling. They use Leonardo da Vincie's Renaissance painting, Mona Lisa -- as an example; when they do this they say that she is 83% happy, 9% disgusted, 6% fearful and 2% angry. But, How could a computer read your emoitions? Could we really ues this in a classroom to help identify students emotions lke they did in Leonardo da
Vincie's Renaissance painting, Mona Lisa --. In the aritcal it says that this computer could see if a student is confused or bored. Dr. Huang predicts "That it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor.", but if this computer is doing all of this then would there be a need for schools or teachers. This new tecnology is making as though this emotion reading computer could be placed in you're home and then you're children could just learn there. THe reason i say this is because if it can tell when a student is bored or confused then what would happen if the other students are getting it then it changes just so one student could understand it. Would that confuse the other students, or would it help everyone in the long run? Maybe they do have a good idea and maybe it really could help., but I also this it could hurt as well. It could put school teachers out of a jod. this computer could making it to were there is no need for schools because this computer could be instaled into your house and your childeren could just learn at home. Along with them learning at home this computer could tell them other ways to understand the work by reading their facsal expretions and emotions. | 1 |
In some areas in Germany, mainly the suburb areas, people don't use cars as often as most people usually do. Car usage is a pretty big problem theese days. Cars mainly cause pollution, and smog but it also causes some places to ban driving partially. We can potentially stop theese problems if we start to live like some parts of Germany; We can live as a car-free city.
The Earth's pollution is mainly caused by cars. Although we probably will not make a law to ban cars completely in the U.S we can potentially start to live like Vauban, Germany. In Vauban, Germany the residents of this community are suburban pioneers. Living on the outskirts of Freiburg, near the French and Swiss border, Vauban's streets are completely "car free." Vauban has only one place to park-large garages at the edge of development, where a car owner can buy a space for about $40,000, along with a home. In result to this 70 percent do not own cars, and 57 percent sold a car to move here. Vauban completed having no cars in 2006 has grown a trend in Europe, the United States and others to take a step back from auto usage. This movement was called the "smart movement."
Furthermore the cons from using cars so often is mainly pollution and smog. Due to near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city. In result to this prohibition nearly 4,000 drivers were fined according to Reuters. Traffic was down 60 percent in the capital of France. After five days of intensifying smog it trailed toward Beijing, China, wich is known as one of the most pollutted cities inthe world. Diesel fuel was to blame for this. France has a tax policy that favor diesel over gasoline. Diesels make up 67 percent of vehicles in France, compared to 53.3 percent of the average diesel engines n the rest of Western Europe. Sure enough the smog cleared fast enough for the French party to rescind the ban of partial driving.
To add on President Obama's abitious goal to curb the U.S greenhouse gas emissions will recieve assist from an incipient shift in American behavior. U.S, with its broad expanses and suburban ideals, had been one of the world's prime car cultures. After decades of being in love with cars America's love affair with vehicles seems to be going down. If this continues, many sociologists believe it will, it will have a beneeficial implication towards carbon emissions and the environment. Since this happened there has been a large drop in percentage of 16 to 39 years olds from getting a license, while elders are likely to retain their license as they age. Such projections have important business implications, even if car buyers are mainly older or buying less cars in one's lifespan rather than rejecting car culture outright.
In conclusion Car usage has made an impact all across the globe. If we really take this to heart then we can potentially live in a car free city. Limiting car usage is a great way to prevent pollution and smog and also makes our the air more pure rather than breathing in polluted air. | 1 |
My personal opinion is that a machine like this would be useless in a classroom. Why spend lots of money on a machine, when all it does is read emotions of students. Students dont need a machine to tell them what they are feeling. If a school is going to spend alot of money on a machine that does only 1 thing, then they should be donating money, having really good school lunchs, and very nice field trips. Having a machine that tells emotions, is like having a machine that tells people when to eat.
Humans are cabable of knowing what they are feeling, when they are hungry, when to use the restroom, when to go to bed. The only humans that should have someone telling them when to eat are infants because they dont know what to or think or when to eat. Thats why they wear diappers, they dont know how to use the restroom or when to. But as they get older they learn when to go to the bathroom and where to go. Same with emotions, they learn what the emotion is, and why they feel the way they do.
Schools should save their money, not buy machines that are useless, and use the money for good. Help the poor, get better lunchs, invest in sports programs, maybe create a new program. If a school has money to spend on machines, then they should add on to the school, make it bigger, hire more teachers. If a student is having trouble in a math class, hire a tutor to help them.

I think that we shouldn't use the technology to read a students emotional expresions everyday in a classroom at school. It should just be used playing a video game and using technology that advanced coud be more fun for the game heads.
Using technology that advanced in the classroom could distract students by playing with the technology or just not having intrest for the lesson but intrest for the machine. But using it could help the teachers to make sure that the students are understanding the lesson and are not confuesd with it or even bored. The students can interact with the technology more and want to invent something of their own one day to make the children happy like this facial expression technology made them. Or even start something to get rid of the technology of this day. The process of doing everything could also take some time away by having to constuct the 3-D model. Having all of the major muscels on the 3-D model will also help by knowing when the students are faking something just to get through the day. Having the classroom facial expression reader could be embarssing for some students that are quiet and don't like to interact with the classroom.
Faking a smile could help sometimes but having to force to do one everyday could affect a person and how they feel about life. The technology can affect the students at home when they go and tell their parents, aunts, and uncles maybe because of religion or just because of the parent or gaurdians way of raising their children. Also we have to think about if the machine would break down and read a students facial expresions wrong and the student would have to do something they were not expecting to do. The teacher could also be agaist the facial expressions and not want to use it but having to use it, or if the students want to read the teachers facial expressions and it says disgusted and happy for the percentage what would the classroom think of the teacher.
At the end of the day you shouldn't depend on technology to do everything for you when you can understand a person perfectly by talking to them and interacting instead of a technology doing everything for you. Having video games is where the technology should stay at and advance in. | 2 |
Imagine the World with driverless cars. Is creating driverless cars too expensive? How many mph will the driverless car be able to go? If technology fails and causes an accident, who will be responsable? The driver or the manufacture? Making driverless cars is not a good idea for the future.
Are driverless cars too expensive? Driverless cars would be too expensive to keep developing. Driverless cars would need a lot of technology for the roads and the car, and to create every piece of technology for each car would be expensive. In paragrah 3 the article stated "These smart-road systems worked surprisingly well, but the required massive upgrades to existing roads, something that was simply too expensive to be practical." If driverless cars worked well on smart-roads, will they work the same way on regular roads?
If the car is driverless, how many miles mer hour will the car be able to go? The auther states in paragrah 7 "Ther car can handle driving functions at speeds up tp 25 mph, but special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel." Will only going 25 mph slow up traffic? Slowing up traffic will interrupt the drivers daily life. The driver will have to begin leaving the house early so they will not get caught in traffic an so, they can make it on time, considering the car will only be going 25 miles mph. If the driver has to keep their hands on the wheel, is that really a driverless car?
Will making driverless cars change traffic laws? "Traffic laws are written with the assumtion that the only safer cars has a human driver in control at all times." If manufacturs create driverless, who is driving? The person behind the wheel or the car? If a persom gets into an accident no one will know who to blame, new laws will have to be created.
Making driverless cars are not a good idea because it is too expensive, cars can only go 25 mph, and if techonlogy was to fail and cause an acciednt, no one will know who to blame. | 2 |
Considering the fact that more often than not, students get bored in the classroom at least a few times. If their computer had the ability to tell when they are bored, then it can find something that the students enjoy. Paragraph six states that if " 'A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused of bored,' Dr. Huang predicts. 'Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor.' " When we get bored in class a good teacher can usually tell. some teachers will try to make class more intersting for the student. The more interesting it is, the more you are likely to learn. But if you're on the computer, the computer will automatically know when you're bored. Teachers don't always know just by you're face because that might not be something they were supposed to learn. Plus computers would most likely have more resources to provide something interesting for you. Teachers might not always have that at hand. Paragraph six also says " 'Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication,' notes Dr. Huang. 'So computers need to understand that, too." We already have phones and computers that we can talk to and they know what to do, some smartphones even talk back to you. But they can't read our emotions. They don't know what we need unless we say it. Making computers be able to calculate our emotions could make things easier, for students, for teachers,and for anyone who needs this kind of technology. "So, who really thought that making faces could reveal so much about the science of emotions? " Paragraph nine. | 2 |
I don't think that this system should be allowed in schools, mostly beacuse some people don't want other people to know how they are feeling. Maybe some people do. Even with this technology we don't know if that is the feeling is what the person is truly feeling.
We should maybe use this in criminal cases. The system would tell us if the defendent is getting scared and is lieing. If we could use this machine this was it would help get the bad people off the streets. Nobody should reject this idea, unless you are the bad guy around town. This system would help us in these cases.
Maybe some theipist would like to have this machine so they can quickly tell what their clients are feeling. I know that it can be hard reading other people's feeling, this would deffinantly take less time in showing the problem with the client. The less time that it would take to see how they are feeling, and the more time how they should feel.
Some places this would help, and maybe I dont see how this would help in schools. For most I dont think this should be here. No matter what I wouldn't use it. I rather have the face to face interactions with other humans and haveing them see how I feel. With the new technology coming out and learning how to read us could be bad. I'm not saying don't use it, but just be careful of how you use the technology. | 2 |
What I think about driveless cars is that I think it will cause more accidents. The reason why I say is because today we have alot of accidents already with people not paying attention. So just think about how many we are going to have when people won't pay attention to their car's warnings. Also stated in the text people will try and blame the manufacturers because the driver wasn't paying attention. The invetion I feel like it would cause alot of unnessesary deaths.
I do think though that sometimes it maybe the manufacturers' fault. The rason I say so is that they may have accidently put in a faulty part inside the car. Also the passage did state that the car was going to be made by Google, so it would be safe to assume that all the sensors would be on a wireless network of some kind. Wireless networks are known to be hacked or they shut down fpor some reason. This would most likely cause the cars' "safe" functions to not work as they are supposed to. Those are just some ways that smart car accident could be manufacturers' fault.
Lastly I think that the smart car could be a good idea for these reasons. The idea of letting the driver know of oncoming danger is crucial to parents and newbie drivers. It could actually save lives like telling people that ther is a truck coming or they are getting too close to a cliff. The text also said that it can tell drivers if ther is an accident,traffic stop, or anything in the way that would hinder the driver. I think that the idea in the text of it being on autopilot in some situations but will require the driver to drive sometimes. This would mean that the car will try to save the driver from dangerous situations, but it doesn't mean it voids the act of driving entirely. These were some pros that I thought were the best.
All-in-all I think it isn't that good of an idea just because so many bad things can lead to the deaths of many. If the companies making the smart cars tweaked a few of the ideas and made sure to test every car for faulty parts then I guess some people will be ok. The people that won't, which makes me still think is a bad idea, are the ones that don't pay attention or care for the well being of others. A idea that the text said was that they make the car record the driver to see if they are paying attention. Another idead that I think should go along with this is that the drivers that don't pay attention get severe punishments and have their licenses revoked. Even though I think this is a bad idea I am not against it, and I would like to see what inventions will be made in the near future. | 3 |
Do yo know why you should join The Seagoing Cowboys Program?
You should join Seagoing Cowboys Program because you can go to different and unique places around the world. Plus I also went to Europe and China to bring food and water for the animals.
To begin, I went to Greece to help bring food and water for the animals. I had a cargo of 335 horses plus the hay an oats to feed them. Knowing that the the Military might draft me they said " When my draft board learned that I was on a cattle boat trip, they told me to just keep doing that for my service."
Also, I went to China to feed the aninimals. It took a whole month to get to China. Then he says" The cattle boat trips were an unbeliveable opportunity for a small town boy."
The cows had to be fed three time and watered two times a day.
In conclusion, these are some of the reasons why people should sign up for Seagoing Cowboys.
In this story i gave many details why you should sign up. Now you can take into intrest about signing up for the Seagoing Cowboys. | 1 |
The article presents good information for the pros and cons of driverless cars. The high advances of of "televison and movies has been fascinated with driverless cars". Not all companies agree on the idea of driverless cars; therefore the price of these cars will be very high.
The article states that humans will still have to be in the drivers seat of these cars incase there is a problem or a human needed activity is ahead such as "navigating through work zones and around accidents". The cars will have many options for the driver and for the car itself such as being warned when the "vehicle is in danger of backing into an object". This new technology could help to reduce the likeliness of accidents to occur.
The article also includes mentioning the laws about these new cars. "In most states it is illegal to even test drive computer driven cars". In regards to the previous sentence, we can hypothesize that even though some states will approve the test driving of these vehicles, does not mean that they will allow them to be sold to the public in that state. A question that the article mentions is "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault-the driver or the manufacturer?" Different judges can opose the idea of it being the cars fault because there is never a proven way to know that the technology will always be able to withstand any problems.
The new technology could be considered 'boring' for those who enjoy driving and can do so in a safe manor. Yes, this could become boring waiting for your turn to be able to drive. The companies making these vehicles are not trying to make it easier to drive for the driver such as when someone has to drive for hours at a time. They are making these improvements to some vehicles to make driving on the road safer especially for new drivers. Warnings are a great thing these cars of capable of, such as warning you when you are about to back up into something.
Once again, there are many pros and cons to the driverless cars. The price of these cars will definitly be expensive, but they will be a great thing to own if you are new to driving, or you feel the need to be safe. In the future, these cars may be a requirement by law and the human driveable cars may be no longer in the making. | 3 |
The author states that studying venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents.Even though its dangerous the Astronomers are intreguied by the planet.
NASA is working on different projects to study venus. He also states that challenging to meet venus has a value to it. But visiting venus can be dangerous too.
In the article " the challange of exploring venus" The author describes
the planet venus as a "evening star" because it brights up since venus is close to the sun. Astronomers are integuiered by venus because it's not only close to the earth and sun, venus can be a earth lookalike because of it's features.In the article it states this " the planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains,and carters." The author describes that venus can be like earth becuase of how both plantes have moutains and valleys. Another quote from paragraph 4 states that ' venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit.. even though there could be a long time frame of space travel."
Even though being able to visit venus is intresting
the plan on getting over there can take up days or even weeks.
The Author also states that the group
NASA has found ways to study the planet venus. For example using technology to study it. In paragraph 7 it says " electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber of venus"s surface and it lasted 3 weeks." This sentence states
that the group working on this project succeded into making a technology that lasts a long time to prove that it works. Another tech they could use is an old one that contributed in World War 2. That computer is powerful and flexible to manage instead of using wired up compueters." sysytems that use mechanical parts can be made more resisting to heat." Meaniing that this technology resists heat and scientist or Astronomers can study peacefully in a safe way therefore no one is in risks.
In advance to the challenges the author thinks that visiting venus is in great value. Why?because since venus has been more earth alike and NASA has been investigating new ideas to study the planet it brings it to be an interesting journey to take. In paragraph 8 it reads that " huamn curiousity will likeky lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors" The author is saying that the eager of the people to know about venus can raise to popularity. Author also says " traveles should'nt let the doubts and danger expand to meet imagination and innovation." The author doesn't want people to let the rumors or the challenges of doing something to stop them from adventuring.
Even though Studing venus or going up to space to visit venus is adenturing, Venus can also be dangerous for humans. In paragraph 3 it says " Venus
has the hottest temperature that can cause earthquakes, erupting volanoes, and bad weather." This could cause a huaman death because your headed to an envirement that has
high temperature and lightning strikes. also " these conditions are far more extreme than anything huamns encounter of earth." What this sentence is refferng to is that since we are not used to extreme heat, our bodies wouldn't be able to hamdle the heat.
Despite the danger that venus can be There is still ways to being able to study the planet Venus. As the author states that Atromomers are intrguied by it and NASA has safe ways of studying venus.Plus even the challenges of venus brings a good value. | 3 |
Professor Thomas Huang has a initiative way of finding out how someone is feeling. "New computer software that can recognize emotions", some may view it as an invasion of privacy, or just straight up weird. I believe it could be a new way to not only help but to recognize your own feelings or your persona to others.
As we speak about the new invention I'd like to mention how it works. "the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face", there are 44 major muscles in the model that move like a human muscle for accuracy. Someone who is not only an expert with technology works on these but also someone who is an expert in mood, stability, etc works through these. "Dr. Huang relies on the work of psychologists, such as Dr. Paul Eckman."
"There are 6 basic emotions; happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear and sadness......" These emotions are "calculated" per say by looks, movements, and the facial muscles. This could help dictate the feelings of someone who is unable to speak or vocalize. Now "putting on a happy face" is actually possible. | 1 |
The author supports the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers by saying that it was like Earth, it was probably covered with oceans and it could have supported various life forms. It can be our nearest option for a planetary visit. Also simply because of human curiosity.
The first reason the author supports the idea of studying Venus is because it used to be like Earth. Venus had many features that Earth has like oceans, valleys, mountains, and craters. I know this because in the text it says "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth." This proves that the author would like to study Venus because it used to be like Earth.
Another reason why the author supports the idea is because we can probably visit Venus. In the article it states "Furthermore, recall that Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit." This shows that the author thinks that once we learn more about Venus we can most likely visit it.
Lastly the author supports the idea to study Venus because of human curiosity. In the text he writes "but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors." This shows that the author supports it because human curiosity will cause us to explore Venus. Also because in the text he also wrote "Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts."
In conclusion the author supports the idea of studying Venus because it used to be like Earth. Venus had oceans and could have supported various forms of life just like Earth. Also because it could be a nearest option for a planetary visit and because of human curiosity. Lastly, who wouldn't want to explore Venus or even visit it and find out more about its environment. | 2 |
Having technology that can read your emotion it's okay and it can help people that don't have friends or don't have any body to talk to. If you need someone to talk to but you don't have anybody, than technology can help you with that problem. If the technology/computer can see your emotion than it can tell what's wrong with you and give you some answer's to you're problems in life. In the same time you should be carefull, because technology can maybe turn back on you and will want you to do something bad that never crossed your mind. If tecchnology is able to read your emotions it's okay but we should also be careful. In the same time that type of technology that is able to read your emotion it's amazing but power full too; because if you are trying to hide something from it, it can tell that you are lying to the computer and also that tecchnology can take peoples jobs. People in the world need their jobs for they can take care of the family. | 0 |
The author states that venus is offten refferred as earth's twin, venus is called the evning star for how bright it is in the night sky even considered as "simple for even an amatur stargazer to spot." The author suggests in the story, "The challenge of exploring venus," that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. In the artical the author claims that Venus is referred as Earth's twin and give support for that claim. For example, "Venus is the closest planet to Earths in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too." The author then continues to explain that many missions to mars were unmanned since no spacecraft survied the landing for more than a few hours.
In the story the author states, "A thick atmosphereof almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus." He claims that on the planets surface, the temperature averages over 800 degrees fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than earth's. Futhermore he explains saying, "These conditions are far more extreme than anything humans can ecounter; such an environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquefy many matals." As the authors makes thses claims its clear that Venus is not suitable for humans or any kind of life. But why does the author suggest that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it present. In the passage, the author states, "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been lthe most Earth-like planet in our solor system.
In passage 4, the author claims that "venus was problably covered largly with oceans and could have supported various forms of life." He continues with, "Venus still has features that are analogous to those of earth; similiar fetures such as valleys, mountains, and craters." NASA has one particularly idea for sending humans to study venus. "NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the suface of venus would allow scientists to float above the fray." With what NASA has in mind for a safe trip to venus, a vehicle hovering over venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and out of their way.
In colclusion, There are dangers to the exploration to venus but venus has a lot to offer and things they could find and use there would be helpful to understand more of venus and its past. | 2 |
I am againt the development of driverless cars. Driverless cars need a whole lot of sensors. Radar was a device on a hiltop that cost two hundred million dollars. We should be investing that money on things that are important. For example help people in need, feed the hungry ect. Why woukld anyone want a driverless car that still needs a driver? Wouldn't the drivers get bored waiting for their turn to drive? we are becoming lazier by the time. Imagaine how much money the driverless cars will cost in the future. Most of of wouldn't even have the money to afford them. We will still buy them, why? Because everyone will have them and it will be the trend, we get carried away for what others get or do and we want to do the same. If technology failed and someone is injured, who is at fault the driver or the manufacture? We shouldn't trust in techonolgy, failure could happen. hese werer some reasons why I am againt the development of driverless cars. | 1 |
My opinion of driver less cars.i stand on the side of liking the idea of it driverless cars would impact everyones lives highly for good purposes the idea of getting into a car and talling it where to take you is quite thrilling.i do believe cars shouls be like this why? because they could help us to especially handicapped individuals ones who are in wheelchairs.driverless cars would be a quite amazing thing to have in society as well as having it in general having cars able to control themselfs could also cause less wrecks due to people who text and drive or dont pay attention.i do find the cars could be bad to why? well the cars could malfunction if not treated/designed prooperly there for say if you were to malfunction out of nowhere.also these cars self driving or not should be exclusively looked and observed and examined properly if not this could cause problems like wrecks and dissasters to happen more frequently.the cars could be a lot diffrent from what we are used to today but if they are not safe? obviously these cars need to have seat belts for more proper safety this could be used for a dummy test to test such abilitys and actions of the car and how to controll it.now a common problem with this car is multiple things engine car navigation and many others but oftenly we should ask ourselfs do we want a car that drives alone? could it be safe? hopefully yet why would it not be there have been many cars that werent designed right or have had many complications these can be caused by electrical failures lack of gas or others.these cars only leave me with multiple questions like how would such things be created and why are these being created butonly true answer is for better ways of transport.in my eyes i see these vehicles being completely intresting and fun but could also be completely bad it is a diffrent idea and a very intresting one but all together i say yes these cars should be made because even if there are problems with said car these could be tested on if not already before initall release of the car,making any problems with the car not really a problem at all so my final answer is yes they should be made and tested. | 2 |
I believe using this technology to read students emotions and expressions is going to be very useful. I agree with the use of this technology to read students emotional expressions. I believe it is important to, as a teacher and parents to notice when the student or child is not doing fine.
For example in paragraph 5 the text says ".. you probobly tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on his/her face". This text shows that in a school with a lot of kids you can easily tell when one is not in a good mood and when one is. It is going to be much easier finding out how someone feels when having a big technical device help you as well. A statment from paragraph 6 it says "A classroom computer could recognize when is a student is becoming confused or bored". This helps the teacher know which of her classmates understands.
Another thing I would like to add is what if a student is thinking of something bad or personal and the device still reads his emotions? To me don't think thats appropiate. Lets agree to disagree by this statement "They even indicate the difference between a genunie smile and a forced one". This text the author stated was given in the middle between paragraphs 7 and 8.
Someone can be feeling down but with something private going on in their lives they might even tend to hide their emotions and not say a word I mean it has happened. Besides there's a difference from acting and emotions.
However let's get back to the agreement section. In paragraph 8 the author states "According to the Feedback .... moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but also may even help produce them". No matter how your feeling there's going to be a way to hide your emotions when you don't want them to be seen or another thing, you can express them. Either way it's good for your muscles.
From this article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" I agreed on using this technology to read students emotions and expresssions is useful. Perpahps further on in the future this type of technology will be used more and will be advanced as well. | 2 |
If I was a person at NASA and people were trying to get the information that is private I would put out more security because it is not information that should be shared until know what it is. Plus the face is probably just a natural landform that we just think is a face .
We have no idea what we are talking about as people who do not work at NASA because we are not people that work there that can see what actually it is. I do believe that the pictures do look like a face but over the years in these pictures it comes to me to believe it is just a rock. I think it is a rock or something of that sort because rocks sometimes deteriorate and look like funny shapes.
The Viking 1 may have even taken the pictures wrong and people just do not know about it. I mean has anyone even landed there and tried to dig it up or even go down with tools or materials to discover what it may be. From this passage all that said is that the Viking 1 was looking for a place for his sister to land and it took a picture of it.
Nobody can believe reporters all the time either because most reporters just here what they want to and write about that. That is why you can't always believe what you here.Although myself I do tend to do that a lot but i do not believe things that can most likely not be possible. For instance we have always thought that aliens live on mars and we make these movies about things we have never seen before.
The face on mars could be something but people will just go out of context with it and mzke it come alive in movies. Which if there is something out there I think it is very mean if they do see it. Which is why I myself do not believe in things like this.
The face on mars has been about 3-4 centurys now and still no one has done anything so i think they should either get on it or just leave it alone. I would like to know what it is but I would only wantto here it from NASA itself to believe it. | 1 |
"OTHER_PII, why do you have to bring this up again?" I tried to reason with her, ('she' was my conspiracy theorist sister) we had been arguing again over wether or not the "face on mars" was really that,
"OTHER_PII i'm telling you they hid something from you, the public, and me, too. You may be more like mom with all the brains and being a NASA scientist and all that, but I take after dad and have it within in me to look deeper than the facade the government has put up. That face on mars isn't just a butte or a mesa, it is an alien spacecraft!" OTHER_PII ranted to me, and after only five minutes, I was beyond exausted with her and firmly told her, "You are tired. I am tired, we both need to get sleep or else we will be here all night. We can continue this in the morning, we'll even talk about it all day if you want. I have the weekdays off now, remember? Good night sister, sleep well."
I knew that the first thing out of my little sister's mouth would be some crazy, irrational idea to convince me about on of her theory's, so imagined how surprised I was to hear "Good morning sis." when I woke up to get my morning coffee. Though I was not to surprised to see that the next thing out of her mouth was, "About that thing on mars, the face, I want you to know I will never change my views on it no matter how many facts and statistics you hit me with." feeling relieved she didn't want to argue any longer, I simply said, "Okay OTHER_PII. whatever you want." and that was the end of that. Apparently, even if you are somone like my sister and you've seen the picture confirming with absolute resolution that it is just a landform, you still don't change your views. | 0 |
"All of our development since World War II has been centered on a car, and that will have to change," said David Goldberg, an official of Transportation for America. To some or most a stament like this may seem outlandish or absurd. We use cars for daily life, to make it through this world, whether its to work, school, the store, it seems almost impossible to live without one. Vauban, Germany is an upscale community of suburban pioneers who have simply given up their vehicles. As many as 70 percent of Vauban's famalies do not own cars. Heidrun Walter, a resident and mother of two, says she is "much happier this way". So what it is that has caused many communites like Vauban to take the advantage of living without a car? Green House gases better known as smog, that is polluting our air that we breathe.
In some places like the beloved Paris, home of the Eiffel Tower, smog has gotten out of hand. Paris has even enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city. After 4,000 drivers were fined and twenty seven had their cars impounded for their claimed reaction to the fine, the congestion was finally down 60 percent. Beijing, China, known for being the most polluted cities in the world the smog rivals. You might even see people wearing masks in Beijing for their own health and safety.
Bogota, Colombia has caught on and spread this idea to other countries as well. For the third straight year cars have been banned with only buses and taxis allowed for a Day Without Cars. Not even rain or shine stopped Colombians from traveling accordingly. Instead of being pessimistic about traveling alternatively most Colombian see it as a good opprutunity to take away stress and lower smog. So, imagine a day without cars in the bustling city of our own, maybe like Detroit. Well it seems that President Obama is catching on.
Recent studies suggest a drop in Americans getting licenses', buying cars, and driving all together as years pass. The number of miles driven in the United States peaked in 2005 and is dropping from there steadily. Could it be that Americans love for cars is simply not what it used to be? Or is it that more alternate and practical ways of travel are now being provided and accepted widely? Either way if our country keeps up the good work sociologist believe it will have "beneficical implications for carbon emissions and the enviroment". Meaning we are one step closer to riding our home planet of dirty air. | 2 |
This new technology is very useful to find peoples emotions or even to what they're thinking about. But also it can be very bad to read other peoples emotions because it can become very personal. I say this because what if a kid is having a bad day in the class room and you read their emotions or even thoughts, it can be very rude. An example would be what if some kid was aving some hard times at home before they went to school and they're thinking about what happened the night before they went to school or what will happen to them when they go home from school. But this new technology can be very helpful because what if that student is struggling in their classes and they're too shy to say anything or to get any help. It can be very stressful and may lead to the student to want to just shut down and shut anyone out. But if you had this tachnology in the classroom it can help the student, becausse then the teacher will know that there is something wrong and try to help the student out with his or her problems in a different way like in tuduring only that select student. Or the teacher could go up to the student and figure out what's wrong and persude the student to be more open and talk about what all is wrong. But like I had said it can be very helpful or very harmful in ways. | 1 |
Have you ever seen on televsion the cars that people arent driving? Or how you dont need to constantly keep your hands on the wheel or your foot on the gas pedal? Well these cars are coming to your dealier ship, knowing that you dont have to stay focused on the rode and paying attention to what other drivers are doing makes me not like the idea of having driverless cars. If the driverless car is doing what is it supposed to do doesnt mean that the driver on the oppisite side of the rode is doing what they need to do.
The reason that i would disagree to have driverless cars comes from many viewpoints, what if the map that is located in the car doesnt see the aminal that is about to run in the middle of the road at night. like in paragragh eight it stated that why would you want a driverless car when you have to wait your turn to drive, it only needs you to drive when the car cant opperate on its own. What if you are doing something that forces you to not pay attention to the rode and then you need to help out and you need to take control, but you are doing something else, your hands arent by the wheel or gas pedal, the car needs your help and you cant be near it, what would happen in that situation, would it be your fault or the driverless cars fault? With the laws, how would your driverless car know the speed limits in the area when they change from different rode and interstates. you are the safest person to be driving the car because you have the eyes on cordation when driving and can notice traffic signs and speed limits signs.
With cars being able to drive themselves it would make the road more dangerous by not knowing the speed limits and not knowing road regulations. what if the speed limits changes from street to street, the driverless car doesnt have to know that. Not staying completely focused to the road will have effects on the cars that do reqiure the driver to stay focused. The idea of having driverless cars makes the roads more dangerous for other drivers and pedestrians. | 2 |
The author gives alot of interesting facts about Venus. They even have a nickname for Venus its called the evening star. Well they call it the evening star because its one of the brightest points in the night sky. Venus is proved to be a very challenging place to examine closely. Also Venus is a planet in our solar system its second from the sun.
Venus size compared to the Earth is like his twin and is the closet planet to Earth in density and size, sometimes on a occasionally distance wise to. The author states how they have sent space crafts to Venus to land and the missions were unmanned for a reason. Author makes a strong statement and says no single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more then three decades.
Not a single spacecraft and even survived on Venus. The very thick atmosphere has about a 97 percent carbon dioxide that blankets Venus. The information the authors gives to us about the atmosphere and its whole planets are very detailed and explains everything about the planet. He even goes on to talk about the temperatures average over like 800 degress fahrenheit which is insane.
When the author says that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit i think he wants people to discover new things about the planets but most about Venus. I think they are trying to discover more facts about the planet and what other ideas he come up with. I also think the author wants to get even closer to the planet despite all the dangers. He goes on to say that the National Aeroautics and space administration NASA they have compelling ideas for sending humans to study Venus. The scienctists are trying to find a way to mabey get a spacecraft on Venus or a vehicle hovering over Venus. But the 170 degress fahrenheit and air pressure would be close to seal level on earth. More interesting facst's the author is giving is and goes on about if their plan to get a hovering vehicle over Venus from a safe distance they can videography ineffective samples of gase's what rock's alot of information they are trying to get about venus. But those samples cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere.
When the author states the challenge of exploring venus is they are trying to get more information about the planet. They want others to discover something about Venus and mabey help them out. The author gives alot of interesting facts about Venus so people can study about this planet. So they can get the most out of his studies that made and put to this acrticle for people to get into studying about this planet no matter the despite of danger's it presents its a awesome planet to study well put by the author with lot's of information on Venus. | 2 |
The author in this story supports his details really well by telling us how
good this idea is how we should go to venus but first he tells us what the dangers by going to venus is like. In paragraph 5 he says in venus the farrenhiet can go up to 800 degreese and the atmosphere pressure is 90 times greater what we feel in earth. venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers we can have another planet for trash or another planet to live in for ourselves. the author even gave us a claim how we are already coming with a plan for sending devices to venus in the land of venus . do we really want to live in a planet were 50 percent of the ocean is plastic and trash what if later in the future our nieghbors are gonna be platic. one scientist did a test on somebody and they found out they had 5 percent of the body was a bit plastic what if later we dont have no where to throw out garbage away we can move to a new planet venus bit dangerus but woudlt be all bad . | 0 |
Imagine how it would be to live in a different planet besides Earth. How everything would be completly different from what we live in today. How they way you live and do certain things in a regular basis would dramatically change. Scientists are now studying the planet Venus and they want to conduct experiments on how to ge there and what it would be to be there for days.
Venus is the second planet which makes it challenging for scientist to study because in the recents years they have sent spacecrafts to venus but none have had any luck. They usually will only last a few hours before it stops working and none of them has landed in Venus. It has been stated that Venus has very high temperatures average over 800 degrees fahrenheit and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we normally experience here on our own planet.
Studying venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers that come along with it. Scientist could be studying Venus for years and years and their caculation could still not be right even if they are certain it is. They have been wanting to send humans to Venus and see how it is but they aren't sure yet. They could have proven that if a human steps on Venus nothing bad will happen but they could be completely wrong and not know that. Another good reason on why they continue to study is because Astronomers are facinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Eath-like planet from our solar system.
In conclusion, I believe they should continue studying such an amazing planet but I don't think it will be worth it to send an actual human being not knowing the concequences of what will happen. I would prefer them send someone who already how studied everything about Venus and send the exact person and hopefully be able to come back with more gathered information and help scientist know more about Venus. | 2 |
"The Challenge of Exploring,Venus is a worthy pusuit despite the dangers because based on the article many exploros want to find more information about venus and how it looks.Venus is the second planet from our sun, which mean its very hot,it is actually a planet.Studing venus is interesting but dangerous, its the closest to the planet to earth.Many humans want to research and find more information about Venus, trhey even send out many spacecrafts to land on the cloud draped world.Unfortually they couldn't land any single spaceships.
The Aurthor wrote how dangerously the planet venus is, how hot it is by adding experiences that many spaceships couldn't land there.Venus can be extremly dnagerous to study because,''Our planet's surface, tempeture average is over 800 degree and venus is extreme than anything humans encounter
on Earth.Which venus is extreamly hot because how lose it is to the sun.The interesting details of what venus can create is that venus presents additional impediments like erupting valcanoes which are soo hat.Venus is also rocky,sediment and has many other features.The reason why there are many reasearchers that want to study or find more information on venus is because it's the nearest option
for a planetary visit.Many space administration tried to create many different technology like things that can float around venus,but its not easy conditions but survival for humans ,what this is saying is that they are trying to create something that is safe for the human like a human enviroments.The author explanes how venus can be worthy by him describing how venus has a value because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself.Overall many want to find a way to venus and see what it actually looks like and study it.Many are trying to create like different spacecraft to visit Venus.
Many people want to reasearch the closest planet from the sun and from earth, they want to learn what is more out there.How they look and what they have.But on the side affects there are many bad and dangerous things that can be seen and for that theyre are differnet things that can be created that can be saftly done to see and discovery the different feautures and the weather is like.Based on the artilcle the planet can be seen intersting and big, but many times there can be danger and it can be very hot that us like humans cannot support,but there is always ways we can find to achieve what we ant to dicover and find but it also takes alot of practice and alot of buildings and trys like in the article it said that there was numerous of spacecrafts that were sent but none were able to land. | 2 |
Voting is one of the hardest choices a person has to make because in reality the votes for the american perident can be decided by one or two votes sometimes. The two deciding factors in voting are the electoral college and the popular vote of the people. They both make the elections fair but also unfair. Without one the whole election process would not be as good as it is today.
The Electoral College is comprised of a total of 538 electors and to elect a president you need a majority of 270 votes from the 538. This electoral college is comprised of one vote for each representative from your state plus two for the senators. Obviously this gives every state a fair chance to vote but even if lets say Hawaii, North Dakota, and South Dakota wanted republican and Texas wanted democrat Texas' votes would cancel out the others because of the amount of representatives they have compared to the other three states. This is one thing that makes this form of voting very unfair. Obviously it is smart to give somestates more representatives because of their population but that completly defeats the purpose of making it fair because the small states stand no chance against the densely populated ones like Florida, Texas, California, and New York.
The popular vote is the percentage of votes that the president recieves form the people, citizens that are voting for them. The popular vote does not haver as much effect as the Electoral College but it still does make an effect. For example in 2000 when Al Gore had 60% of the popular vote but did not win the presidency because George Bush had the majority of the Electoral College. This is when the popular vote should be more emphasized because obviously the people which is over about 20 Million wanted Gore but the Electoral College vote of more than only 270 people wanted Bush. That is an issue but also some people voting don't really understand what the two people are offering and just vote because one sounds better, looks cooler, your friends are voting for him/her. This is why the popular voting system cannot be fully trusted.
The compare the two topics not one is better than the other and not one can fuction woithout the other. In my perspective it was smart of the founding fathers to create both systems so that the voting would be somewhat fair. In reality even though the popular vote doesn't make a difference it can persuade the representatives of the state to change their mind or it can make them realize that they are making the right decision because of how their state is chosing to vote. This should change their mind because the people elected them knowing that they will vote for who they promised to vote for and will most likely stay true to their state and to their party.
In conclusion both system are great together but apart cannot funcion. The founding fathers and leaders of this country cannot be blamed for making this system because there is really no way to make it fair and they did their best to do so. Now think if you were to design the voting system for the United States of America what woudl you do differently or the same. | 2 |
Driverless cars sounds like a good idea to the normal everyday person who has to drive everywhere. But if you actually think about it, its not such a great idea. People would easily get bored and tired of it and then people would start to get fatter and more unhealthy. Also it says that driverless cars arent completely driverless. For example in the passage it mentions that the car will notify the driver when they need to take over if there is an obstical in the way. To me, if these cars cant function like a person dribing, then there is no reason at all to have them. People might as well continue driving by themselves because there is no reason to have a car that cant perform all by itself. On the other hand, driverless cars would be good for people who have disabilities or any other problems that would hinder them from driving. They could go places without needing the help of another person or having to wait for a bus to come pick them up. So my opinion is that they can make driverless cars, but dont make every car in the future driverless. There will always be people who like old fashioned things, and i feel like some people would not approve of driverless cars. So its up to the people of the world to decide whether driverless cars is a good thing and should be put out for the public, or a bad thing and should just be left alone. | 1 |
Driverless cars are they really a good idea or just an accident waiting to happen? Some people may believe in the driverless car, but others like me see the true danger it brings to the table. These people who are so ready for the future to be here have forgot to look at the possiblities that come along with it. The idea of such a car is not a bad idea it just needs to be more thought out and processed.
There are many reasons i believe we should wait to produce such a car, but one of the most concerning is legal reasons. The text states a question that needs to be answered before an accident happens. The question I am refuring to is, " If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault - the driver or the manufacturer?" This question alone will cause so many problems if it is not solved before the release of the car.
Another concer I have for the car is its safety features. An example of one of my concerns is weather or not the car will be able to tell when school hours are active or when work zones are near by. The text states, "They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents." This example makes one flaw with the designe of the car, and thats the fact that what if the car doesn't get the update that the danger zone is near and never alerts the driver. Many computers day by day fail to work properly, so who is to say that our self diving cars will not fail as well to do their jobs.
If our cars dive and control themselves what will keep the man behind the wheel alert or even awake. This could cause health risks to anyone who happens to be driving near a unmaned car. I agree with the states that do not allow the testing of the cars in their respected areas. While states such as California, Nevada, and Florida all allow the cars to be tested. These states are putting their people at risk just so they can find all the flaws of the car. Most people will agree when I say that is it really worth the risk of a human life just for a car that can drive itself but not really control itself.
All of these risks that I have listed are all for what reward. A car that can drive itself does not have the human capablitiy to keep is passengers safe. All of what I have said is to prevent the lose of a life or even just a law suit. I feel that all my concers raise some major red flags that should be covered before the risk of a life or someone's property. | 3 |
Venus is a challenge from the humans because Venus is the second planet close to the sun. The humans want to study the planet because they want to know more about the planet bucause the from the Nasa are traveling to Venus
to know more about and give information to the persons the want to know about Venus.
The Venus is the hottest planet surface temperature of any planet in our solar system, even thought Mercury is closer to our sun.
Venus is a planet the humans can travel because is amost the same as Earth just because Venus is hotter.
The Challenge of Exploting Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it present because venus is simple to see from the distant but safe vantage point of Earth, it has proved a very challenging place to examine more closely.
Venus is sometime right around the corner is space terms humas have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud draped world.
A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus.Even more
challeging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in venus atmosphere.Astronomers are fascienated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system.
Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth.
Venus is a planet can we go visit because it is amost the same as the Earth but in the Article say the Venus has to many volcanous because is closer to the sun and because the planet is really hot.The Nasa is working on other approaches to studying Venus, For example, some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such condition. The Nasa are using technology to know about Venus and not travel all the way to Venus.
Venus can be a challegen for us because most of the humans want to study the planet will it looks interesting to study the planet because is close to the sun and see how the planet works. And maybe I want to travel Venus because in the Article say's the we can travel to Venus because is amost the same as the Earth. Venus can be dangers because is close to the sun and the articles say's
the Venus can have erupting volcanoes because is really hot, but it will be great to study Venus. | 2 |
How would the Facial Action Coding System be valuable in a classroom?The makers of this system say that it can be hard to read someones face and how they feel,well the system them made can help do that.It would help alot in schools if they had it because then they could see how the student will react to the work given.When the teachers can see what the sudents like to do and shows what they are good at, they will do that more.Witch will help the students by them getting to do a little more of the work they want to do.
This system can also not work as well as thought to..Well if the student doesn't want to do any work then he will make the face that shows he doesn't want to do anything.That can be bad cause then the teacher won't know what the students will like to do,or how the student will react to the work givein.It can be a waste of money as well to the school system because if they buy it and then it doesnt work out then they just wasted money.The Facial Action Coding System can be helpfull and aslo can be not helpfull. | 1 |
"Boom!", was the the first thing I saw when I looked up from the passengers seat.Two cars had crached into each other.We were on route 33 going to Fort Wayne.The speed limit there is about 55 mph or 60 mph. Both of the cars were destroyed.On the road there were so many pieces of each car.The crash was extremely bad.The people inside were in a dangorous situation.We called 911 then the police arrived and a helicopter had to get a person and took them. since then the only thing that I think about is driverless cars.Driverless cars development would be
be much safer because they would stop before you crashed,they would accelerate alone, and people wouldn't have to worry about drunk drivers.
Driverless cars would help so many people out.The best thing is that they will stop before you crash into something.The article said that there are cars that can brake themselves.But the driver has to remain alert for when a situation requires it so they are still not that safe.With driverless cars you wouldn't have to be so scared because you would never know when you needed to stop the car.That would help teens out so much.In the TV I always see commercials on teens getting into car accidents and sending there last message to their father or mother.And that does happen because thousands of teens die from car accidents.I also read in an article that every person will get in a car accident sometime in their lifetime.It's really frightning.That's why driverless cars will save alot of people.
Driverless cars would be able to accelerate by themselves and that would be of much help.In the place I live their are alot of deer and there are alot of car accidents due to deer crossing the roads. And if the car could accelerate by itself then we would be able to have less deer accidents.the firt instinct that I have when we saw a deer when we were driving was to tell my dad to hit the break.He ignored me because he read an article that the best thing to do when your going
to hit something is to accelerate not stop.But to many of us we only think on hitting the break not accelerating.Driverless cars are just the best way to go.
There are many times when families die because the person that crashed into them was drunk.So driverless cars would make it safer for us and for them because if a person is drunk they wouldn't have to drive.That would make roads alot safer.The article said that maybe by 2020 some car brands like Nissan will have driveless cars which will be better for all of us.That way no one is in harms way becasue of drunk people.An example could be my cousin he was in a really bad car accident because the friend that was driving was drunk.He was in comma for 2 weeks and the had to do a brain surgey because he was in a very critical condition.The driver only broke a hand but my cousin got the worst.That happens so much these days becasue people are not responsible.I know that with driverless cars those type of accidents will be a thing of the past.
That is why driverless car development would be a better way to go becasue they would stop on there own,accelerate alone and people wouldn't have to worry about drunk drivers.It is something that every country should consider becasue all the gadgets people create are for a better future and I know that driverless cars are going to be the best thing created for the future.That way we will all be safer. | 4 |
My Position on driveless cars,I am all for it. In my opinion I think driveless cars would be a great idea. Just imagine a world where no one needs to spend there money on cars. Also imagine a world were there would be barley any car crashes,less acciedent deaths,and aslo more relaxation when driving. That sound like a pretty good world to me.
Driveless cars would be a good idea beacuse it will give the future a terrifc public transportataion system. Also the dirveles cars would use half the fuel of today's taxis and offer alot more reliability than a bus. Driveless cars would drop the killing rate in the world. I say that because there are alot of car accidents that happen where some people dont make it. Inside a driveless car there would be special touch sensors to make sure the driver keeps hold of the weel,GM has developed driver's seats that vibrate when the vechicle is an danger to keep the driver alert,aslo the driveless car would announce when the driver should be prepared to take over the wheel.
The driveless car would be a great, and safe improvement to the future. Automakers are still continunig their work to make the driveless cars to reach all limitations for them to be apporved. In my opinion driveless car would be excilent! | 1 |
The earth as you know it is where us humans live and we have been living their for many many decades. The thought of going somewhere far away from earth sounds frightening,and unbelievable,but it may not be as unbelievable as you think. The author tells us Venus is the second planet from our sun and Earth, Venus, and Mars are all "neighbors" but all these planets have differences. These differences could lead us to something new or something that us humans have yet to discover.
The author supports the idea that studying venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers. The authour states "Solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth levels. Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans." The author is not declining the idea of studying venus but rather suggesting us readers that it is not dangerous to study venus. The author also states "Striving to meet the challenge presented by venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into manly equally intimidating endeavors." He/She believes venus could point us into a new direction and it is worthy enough to study even if it means facing danger us humans have not yet expierenced.
We do not know what will become of us humans in the near future but rather of thinking that way we should focus on what we have here and what we have around us. Although at this current moment we do not have sufficent materials to study venus that should not stop us from exploring furthur into venus and/or studying it.
"Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." This quote provides a new outlook of what is to come and it shows that the author definitley supports the idea of studying venus despite all the dangers it could come with. | 2 |
The author supports his idea in many ways. He says there are many dangers in the exploration of Venus. He also says that the exploration of Venus is worth it despite the dangers.
In paragraph 4 the author says astronomers are fascinated by Venus. Venus may well once have been the most Earth like planet in our solar system. Venus can sometiomes be our nearest option for planetary visit. In paragraph 5 the author states that NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray. The tempature would still be around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that of the sea level on Earth. The radiation would not exceed Earth levels. Those are not easy conditions but they are still survivable for humans.
There is more evidence of supporting his ideas in the exploration of Venus but those are some that i included in the essay. The author did a good job supporting his idea. In my opinion I think we should at least try to figure out a way to observe the planet Venus. | 1 |
If you using cars, you need to stop bruh! Cars are bad for the environment. Cars aren't as fresh as unicycles anyway. Cars are bad because it increases global warming, takes up too much space, and cost too much.
Who would want to see penguins fall into the water because the land they live on has melted? I do, but still it is not right. Cars make animals all over the world fall into the water because the land they are on is melting. One time i saw a history show that showed the ice melting and falling onto the sea. (Source 1) Anyways, whether you like it or not, that is a fact.
Cars are soo bulky and they have alot of mass. Thats right, I said it ! MASS! They make it harder to walk on the road. It looks like they are so big too! (Source 3) In ancient Greece, people used horses. Why cant we do that? Horses are alot skinnier than cars believe it or not. Also they dont need gasoline or electricity, they just need oatmeal or beans. Sometimes my horse eats its own feces also, which makes feeding it less of a hassle. (Source 2)
Last but leastly, cars are sooo freeckin expensive. Back in the days, cars used to cost like 500 dollars. (Source 5)Now they cost 5000 dollars for a used one. That is soo lame! Also, you have to pay alot of money. Sometimes you pay more money than the cost of your house. Now if you live in Lebron's house, that is ridiculous. Yes i like basketball by the way! Basketball cars cost the most money too.(Source 4) If you have seen limited edition sports cars, they cost up to 30,000! Who has the money for that kind of reckless spending. I can barely pay for my school lunch. I always asks my friends if they are done with what they are eating.
In conclusion, i would like to finish this essay with a great finale. I would like to end this writing now. This is where i finish off the essay with a splash. Now i will provide the resolution, or conclusion, to my essay. (Source: Brain) Here I will talk about why I am finishing the essay, and how i will finish the essay. First off: Shoutout to the Testing Company that picked m school. I got out of four of my classes today! I missed out on two tests that i have to make up before or after i celebrate Christmas! Thats awesome because now I have more work to do. Lasty, i would like to provide my conclusion. the end. (Source:Web) | 1 |
