I know for a fact that the Face on mars is not an alien artifact. Instead i know that it is just a normal landform. One of my reason for saying that is simple,on paragraph two it states"Only this one had an unusual shadows that made it look like an egyptian pharaoh,"but that is not my only reason for saying it is just ...

Yes, it could be useful! It could be used to do a lot of good things. For example, we could use it to help us determine whether someone is lying or not during an interigation or in a court. However, in order or both of those to be accurate we would need to make some adjustments. Nevertheless, the technology could be u...

The use of the Facial Action Coding System, to read emotional expressions of students, isn't valuable. It is in fact an incredible use of technoogy and it also would be neat to see how people are feeling, but you shouldn't be able to know how people are feeling without them personally telling you themselves.

As the author defends the claim that the exploration of Venus is a "worthy pursuit," I, however, believe that this statement is not proven very efficiently.

The idea of cars that can drive themselves is truly fascinating. Just being able to sit back and relax while a car takes you to your destination sounds incredible.
