The author supports the idea of studing Venus is a worthy pursuit depite the dangers because austronomers are facinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most earth like planet in our solar system.The author supported his claim by telling the reader that scientists are even discussing futher visits to the surface of Venus.The author also stated in paragrapgh 4,"Today, Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth". Then the author explains himself by decribing the features that are similar to Earths.
Venus is often refered to Earths "twin" and this can facinate readers and make them want to read more.The author does a good job of getting the reader to read more by comparing and telling the reader things thaat have not been able to be done by anyone all these years.He done it by telling the reader it has proved to be a very challenging place to examine more closley.Also by telling the reader Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size and occasionaly the closets in distance too.No spacecraft has landed and survived for more than a few hours and those are facinating facts from the author.The author talks about Venus's reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study despite how close the planet is.
This is why I think the author did a good job on supporting his idea on how well the author supports his idea.He gave facts on the planet and its simularities to Earth.He talked about it being very challenging to study so it would be a great acomplaishment to be the first to study the planet.Technology today could probably help in landing and exploring a planet and learn from it because its similar features."Our travels on and beyond Earth should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded and meet the very edges of imagination and inovation": as the author said.This is why the author supports the idea of studying Venus is worthy pusuit despite the dangers. | 2 |
To explore or to not explore. The exploration of the planet Venus is a debated topic. Both positives and negatives present themselves, but still leave room for doubt and interest to hang in the air. The author of this article does a very satisfcatory job in presenting the worthiness of the space exploration of Venus. He presents the dangers of the mission with honesty, highlights the fascinating elements of Venus to build interest, and provides the inventions and accommodations to make this space exploration possible.
The author begins by presenting the dangers of the exploration on Venus. He describes the "highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere" and the "erupting volcanoes, powerful eathquakes, and frequent lightning strikes." This honest approach allows the reader to see reality, and the author's understanding of the opposing side. This also sets up a platform for the author to state positive reinforcements.
Now, the author has an opportunity to present the beneficial aspects to exploring Venus. He includes many details to do so. The author says that Venus "may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system" and that "Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth." He also includes that Venus is "our nearest option for a planetary vist, a crucial consideration given the long time frames of space travel." Fascinating details about the planet build interest and curiosity. By presenting a few positive elements the planet has to offer, the author does an excellent job at supporting his personal claims that Venus is a planet worth exploring.
Lastly, the author includes solutions to potential dangers of space exploration. He mentions "NASA's possible solutions to hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray." He also presents the idea of "a vehicle hovering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions." One final detail he presents is that "simplified electronics made of silicon carbide" are being produced, and have been successful under a simulated Venus environment. By stating these accommodations and inventions, the author does a great job at providing posible solutions to dangerous conditions, and allows the reader to see the real possibility of a prosperous journey to Venus.
The author of this article presents the aspects of Venus exploration with clarity, and satisfies his claim by providing intriquing facts about Venus, and the inventions that can make it all happen. The author is not manipulative, but simply states information of all aspects, and encourages the reader to expand their imagination. Because of the author's organization, clarity, and positive reinforcement, the audience is inclined to agree with him. | 3 |
The new technology it was created by, what does it do,is it a good thing. The software is the latest innovation fro professer. Thomas Huang,of the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science at the Universiy of illinos,working in collaboation with Professer Nicu. Sebe of the University. Dr. Huang and his colleague are experts at developing better way for human and coumputers to communicate.
The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face;all 44 major muscles in the the model must move like humans muscels. Movement of one or more muscles is called an "action unit." Then Dr. Huang relies on the work of pyschologists such as Dr. Paul Eckman,creator of FACS.
They want to use this technology to help in a classroom to see when a kid is confused or boerd to help them to plan lesson that the kids will learn from. Eckman has claaified six basic emotions happiness,surprise,anger,disgust,fear,and sadness and then associated each with characteristic movements of facial muscles
I think we should use the new technology in classroom because I think I will become dectration to kids because they will want to play with it to see her they feel. This type of technology should be use for treapist to help read patient when they are talk about their life so the treapist know how they felt about that part in there life. | 0 |
Driverless cars are becoming one of the many symbols of a new generation.
The thought of possibly no longer needing to buy a car seems to be a very settling thought, not to mention receiving a car that a person wouldn't need to control half of the time.
However, while cars today are already becoming expensive the more they evolve, could anyone imagine how much a driverless car would cost?
Especially if the cars have extremely advanced technology within every one of them?
Those cars would most likely cost twice as much as our modern cars already do.
One of the main factors that would motivate individuals to even consider buying a driverless car is so they can shift the blame to the manufacturer or the car itself, and not take responsibility for themselves if an accident occurs.
Manufacturers would have to take the heavy burdens for any severe injury, damage, or even death if one small thing goes out of place with the driverless car.
Driverless cars also seem like an excuse to continue the habit of texting and driving, which is already an issue that kills and injures more and more people every day.
Texting and driving is already a nasty habit that everyone is still trying to discourage.
If these driverless cars really don't require that much attention, enough to allow the driver to text, the habit will be twice as hard to let go of.
Having alert drivers feels more like a reassurance to safety rather than having nonalert ones that depend on their computer car to ensure other people's safety.
It's also likely that something could go wrong in the technology system.
Who really knows of something malfunctions, breaks, stops working, or everything else in between? Technology isn't always the most reliable thing on the planet since it has its many faults.
For example, if the seat is supposed to vibrate to alert the driver for attention, will it really vibrate on the first try? Will it vibrate on time? How about if the car can accelerate, break, and steer itself? Would it be able to all the time? What if it doesn't do one, the other, or any of those things? Very serious consequences come with that kind of malfunction.
Drivers shouldn't be discouraged to purchase a driverless car if they ever come into play in our lives.
It will have its cons just like our modern cars do, but there's no doubt that it will have its pros.
Our environment, laws, and technology would require some serious changing and tinkering if these cars are ever put to actual use.
Yes, it is illegal in most states to even do as much as test these cars. However, these states might reconsider their decision depending on how safe these cars express themselves to be.
These cars, personally, have shown to be quite hazardous and really expensive. Who knows? Maybe they'll be safer. Let's just wait and see. | 2 |
The author supports the idea well that Venus is a worthy planet to study. The way that people can study venus is to stay above the surface in a blimp, they could build space crafts and rovers out of the strongest material on Earth, and they could also make a submarine like vehicle that is strong enough to with stand the heat and the preasure.
The fact that Venus is a planet that is close to us should make it easy to go to. It is not easy because of the preasure and the heat. A way to get around these issues is to make a blimp that will stay above the surface of the world so then it only gets part of the preasure and heat. Then they can try to get evidence and samples from the surface of the planet to bring back with them to study on earth.
They could get the strongest material on Earth and use it to make space crafts and rovers that will with stand the full heat and preasure. Then the rover could collect samples of gases and rocks. It could also get photographs and videos of what the surface looks like. It could then take everything back to Earth and then humans could study the diffrent samples it collected.
They could make a submarine like vehicle that can withstand the preasure. If they do that then they can collect the samples and figure out if Venus had life on it before. They could find out if Venus could become a new home for humans if it is needed. Then the submarine could send all of the evidence back and then we can study all the evidence we need to study to learn more about Venus.
In Counclusion, they need to make a vehicle out of the strongest material to send down to the suface of Venus and try to collect samples. Then the vechile will come back to Earth with the diffrent materials and then humans would get to work on studying the samples. | 2 |
Have you ever sat in your room and looked at the ceiling for a while and you see a weird shape or face? If you haven't have you ever stared into space and seen a shape or face? Do you think of how it got there, from an alien, your imagination, or natural landform? My guess would be natural landform.
I am saying natural landform because alians aren't real, and if they were why would they create a human face. Maybe they were tryin to send a sign, if they were trying to send a sign why couldn't they have just come to earth and tell us what we need to know. What was the point of going to Mars no one lives on Mars we live on Earth.
The is a 50/50 chance that it could be your imagination, just like if you were staring out of space or looking up at the ceiling and see a random shape or face, that is your imagination, so it could be you imagination. But the scientist wasn't really focused on this "face" they just happened to look over an see it otherwise just like if it was your imagination you would be very focused on to something and happen to see it.
It is a natural landform because when Mars came about this "face" was made along with it no one else put it their it naturaly came along. You can believe that it was put their by an alien but by the evidence and how I proved it you might think that it natural landform. | 1 |
"Unmasking the Face on Mars". My NASA friends and I think that the face is just a natural landform. But some other people think that aliens created it. But wouldn't you think that NASA knows alot more about the moon the other people I mean we have been there and they haven't.
I don't see how people would think that aliens created that face we have never seen aliens and they have never seen us. Aliens don't even know what humans even look like. I think all the people that think aliens created that face should fly around the world and look for faces and I bet they will find some. If they find some then they can't say theat aliens came down to earth and did those to. But if they don't then NASA and I might think that aliens made the faces.
If they find faces on the earth then it will be all over and we will know that aliens didn't make them and that it is just a natural landform. On the otherhand if they don't then NASA will spend money and put some type of sensor ore camera or something on mars so that we can see at all times and we will know if aliens really built it or not. | 1 |
Would you ever make something that would put you in any kind of harm ?. Making Driverless car has negative aspects such as harming innocent people. In the text it says '' If technology fails andsomeone is injuried , who is at fault '' this could be a fifty fifty chance that you could be accountable if the person is seriously harmed.
The first reason why I think that the Driverless car shouldn't be out is because why would a person want a driverless car if they still would have to drive it thereselves. Peolple want driverless cars so they sit back and the let car do all the driving. The car can just make you start driving and you wouldn't even know it.
Why would the law let a car like this even touch the streets if it can put anyone around at risk of getting injuried, or lives ruined. I dont believe that the car is reliably safe. what if the car gives you a late signal that if need for some human skills to take over and a small child was ran over by one of these monster you call a car ?.
So I ask woul you make something that would put your life and other in harms way ?. This is my opinon on the driverless car. They shouldn't be out with the community. | 1 |
In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile," the author describes how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions. The use of this technology, to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom, is valuable. I believe this technology would be great to use in a classroom. It would really help the teacher with his or her lesson. Dr. Huang predicts that "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored". If a simple classroom computer can determine a students' emotions, that would be a great assistance to a teacher. The teacher would then know if he should go into greater detail or if he should make his lesson plan a little more interesting.
Human Beings can be really good at hiding their emotions. With the Facial Action Coding System no one would be able to hide their true emotions. If someone was really depressed, but they portray themselves to be happy, this technology could stop that person from hurting themselves or others. If a school therapist or school social worker had this technology it would make their jobs so much easier. They could sense what the students are really feeling, rather than what the students want them to think their feeling. Also, the school therapist would know if the patient would need to be prescribed any medicine.
Another reason why the Facial Action Coding System would be a good idea is because, as stated in the article, it could reveal so much about the science of emotions. The FACS (Factial Action Coding System) could detect a false smile. If you are not feeling geniunely happy, if you are just "putting on a happy face" this technolgy would be able to see through what your false act. This new technology could become the next big thing. It would be able to uncover the truth about alot of people.
The last argument I am going to state on why the FACS would be valuable on detecting students emotions is that the technology could tell whether a student is telling the truth or not. The article states in paragraph 8 that usually when someone squint their eyes slightly, to produce wrinkling at the corner of their eyes usually means that their not being thruthful. FACS uses muscle clues to determine whether a person if being truthful or not. This would be great in a classroom. For example, if someone is being bullied and they tell the teacher but the bully says he isn't bullying anyone, this would be great for the teacher. The teacher would know which one of her students is telling the truth.
In Conclusion, the Facial Action Coding System would be a superb idea. This new technology would not only be very interesting but it would also save many lives. This technology could be used in many different jobs. It could also help many people. With this technology you would no longer have to take someones word on how their feeling, even when you have a gut feeling telling you otherwise. Rather than assuming what someone is feeling you could now know for sure with the Facial Action Coding System. | 4 |
I believe that the integration of driverless cars into the current-day road system would only pose a threat to the majority of drivers. Incorporating a new form of transportation into a pre-existing form would only complicate the roads more than before. Cars have been around for roughly 100 years and society has adapted to this certain form of transportation that is used world-wide. Although driverless cars seems very advanced and the engineering involved in their production is beyond my imagination, driverless cars will have a negative effect on the current-day road system.
Being a teenager, I am approaching a new level of responsibility and encountering a world very foreign to me, driving. Having the ability to drive brings a whole new world of responsibility to teens all over the United States. Although there are many teen fatalities due to driving, I believe that driverless cars will not thoroughly incorporate the new level of responsibility that teens have as they approach legal driving age.
Another aspect of my argument pertains to the current driving and road laws. The reading states that a majority of the driving laws are focused on keeping drivers and their passengers aware that safety is achieved through alertness. Traffic laws are formed based on the idea that human drivers are in control at all times. Integrated driverless cars will interfere with the traffic and road laws that are in place today. If driverless cars became the popular form of transportation, would new traffic laws be incorporated to adjust to the new form transportation? Or since driverless cars are operated by computers, would there be the need for traffic laws at all?
Although driverless cars could bring a very efficient form of transportation, they seem to add too much technology to a long-lasting form of transportation. Driverless cars will take away the aspect of great responsibility from teens and new drivers as a whole. And driverless cars will only complicate rules, laws, and regulations of our road system that have been in place for decades. Ultimately, how much are we as a human race willing to give up to technology? | 3 |
Venus is second nearest planet to earth. It is known as the "Evening star," but in reallity it's classified as a planet. Venus is a planet that holds a thick atmosphere filled with carbon dioxide. It's temperatures can reach up to the hundreds and the pressure can be very extreme. Despite these disadvantages the author does a very well job suppporting the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit. Since Venus is so close we could find possible solutions, have new scientific infromation, and it could possibly lead us to build machines able to land on the surface.
Venus is the closest planet to earth. We could easily send machines to travel towards Venus without wasting time. The article states,"These differences in speed mean that sometimes we are closer to Mars and other times to Venus."This supports the idea because there are many possible solutions to go to Venus without causing any costly damages and by providing endless insights. By going over to the planet it allows us to discover new information without facing any troubles in waiting.
By exploring Venus we are able to discover more information about the planet.
In paragraph four the article states,"Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth." This helps support the claim because it could have a benificial effect on how scientist view the planet. It could lead to new scientific discoveries and varius exlporations. We could discover new information on how the planet may have thrived long ago. By contributing meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus we could learn how to build new technologies to safley land on the planet.
We could build stronger metal that could resist the planet's temperature and pressure. In paragraph seven the article states,"By comparison, systems that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces." This helps the author's idea because we could possibly build new machines to land on Venus once we have plentyful information about the planet. The machine would be able to resist the hostile conditions and have plenty of solar power.
Despite all the challenges that venus presents it could be possible to expand our knowledge since Venus is so close. It could have a greater impact on how scientists view the planet. It could potentially lead to new technologies being able to land on the surface. The author did a perfect job using reasons to support the claim that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit. | 3 |
Started with the founding fathers. The Electoral College was founded and swung into the constitution, as a compromise between Congress and the President with a popular and electoral vote. Now that time has evolved and the world has changed. The Electoral College is not in the favor of everyones expectations, it seems like it favors one side more than it favors others. The Electoral College should be changed to election by popular vote, because it is an unfair way of choosing the president, it is also known as a non-democratic method of having one side favored, and it can cause catastrophe.
Intially, the Electoral College should be changed to election by popular vote, because it is an unfair way of choosing presidents. The Electoral College has been around for centuries, but now people feel as if the way presidents are being chose to run our country is unfair. The Electoral College is an unfair way of choosing presidents, by it being known as a winner-take-all system. Stated in the passage, "Candidates don't spend time in the states they know they have no chance of winning, focusing only on the tight races in the swing states." The candidates in the "lame" states did not even see a single campaign ad. The swing states have a higher chance and more likely to see their campaign ads, because they are the more popular states. The more popular states are "the most thoughtful votes, and should be the ones to decided the election." Swing states get campaign ads, they are the ones who are being favored, while there are other states just trying to get a campaign sign, and get their votes recognized.
Also, the Electoral College can be known as a non-democratic method. When something is non-democratic, it means that it is not in the democrats favor. It is a rap for them, its already set for the Republicans to win. Stated in the passage, "In a modern sense . . . it is the electors who elect the president, not the people. When you vote for presidential candidate you're actually voting for a slate of electors." Democrats may cast in their vote for presidential candiate comes with a group of electors, they see the electoral college as favorable towards the Republican group.
Next, the Electoral College should be changed, because it causes catastrophe. When voting for president, it puts the electors in charge. "Electors can be anyone not holding public office." One may never know how much the elector is trustworthy, and responsible. Some may not even feel comfortable with leaving the electors in charge of such cases. People feel uneasy, because they do not know what happens behind close doors, they are never certain on who's hands can change things for the benefit of themselves. The citizens and the people may not be comforatbe with such things.
But, as much as the Electoral College may not seem beneficial and fair to some it can be a good thing also. Stated in the passage "Election would be thrown to the House of Representatives, where delegations vote on the president." Us people, us as citizens would not even be in charge or have a say so in who runs our country. We would not even have a choice or chance to vote and see who is worthy and most honorable in our eyes to be our president. Some may be lucky on the Representative choices on who the Electors and our Presidents would be, but also some may be dissatisified. The favor will only be in the representaives place. And the odds will be onto us. The Electoral College is not ran by the Representatives. We have a say so.
Finally, the Electoral College should be changed to election by popular vote, because it is an unfair way of choosing the president, it is also known as a non-democratic method of having one side favored, and it can cause catastrophe. The Electoral College shows a wide range of it either being a good or a bad way on voting. | 2 |
The new technology can catch how you feel. That for your moves how u expreess in the mirror. As Mona lisa if this was in that time maybe they knew how she feel. Also with your muscles he can show you how your emotion.
The humans perfom this same impressive "calculation" every day. Probably your friends know when you are mad, sad, angry, happy ect. The computer 3D can just tell you your emotion and if you want to be more happy. For example "The facil expression for each emotion are universal" (par, 4).
These can help people to be more happy and not being in other emotions. It say that happy face work. But sometimes we intimidate people so they change. This it can be math class you calculete the cumbers an that's what the computer do it, the computer say a porcent to knew how much emotions you have.
Let's say you have 44%of sad, 33%happy, 12%hungry etc. The movement of one or more muscles is called an "action unit" The creator modificate correct the computer 3D so all the humans can see they emotions | 0 |
What is my position on a driverless car? I believe with enough improvments and optimization it could be a great substitute for real drivers and offers some great advantages with some disadvantages as well. As they currently are however I don't believe they can be substituted fully instead of a real driver. However with enough improvment and bug fixes they certainly could be.
Why couldn't they be used fully now? They aren't really as reliable as they need to be so they can't be used instead of real person. Driverless cars don't seem to have the ability to deal with unknown stimulus such as an accident on the road, therfore it is ill equip to make an apropriate decision to avoid these situations. And it appears the they can't handle speeds that you would find on the highway. Driverless cars aren't perfect but they do have some advantages along with the disadvantages.
First of all they have bulit in GBS so they wouldn't get completely lost like a human can. If there tech is advance enough they could avoid danger more effectively since a computer can react faster than human. There would be a decrease in mortality rate on the road because there wouldn't be as much danger paying attention somewhere else like being on you phone since you aren't the one driving. The amount of money you'd spend on gas would decrease since it would always drive the most cost saving speed.( while staying in bounds of the speed limit of course) You could be more productive with your days since you would be spending less time driving the car.
But currently they aren't advanced enough to take over driving fully from a person. The GBS tachnology that we currently have is faulty and will often make mistakes. The Cars sensors could malfunction causing it to speed up or slow down to rapidly causing a accident. They Currently can't make the apropriate decisons to avoid a accident or navigate around a roadblock. Also it can't really go speeds that you would find on a highway safely.
Now here are some of my suggestions to where they could get to the point where they are useable. There would need to be a large amount of servers set up to help the cars to make all the correct calculations. The censors on the cars would need a serious improvement so that they would be able to take acquire the correct data from the envronment. They would also need a better built in computers to process and interpret all the data. All of this development would increase the number of available jobs around the world helping out the economy. The driverless car isn't a reality but with enough effort it sure could be. Of course i'm no expert so take these suggestions at face value.
So in conclusion no they shouldn't currently be developed. They have a lot of problems that need to be addressed before hand. However in a few years they certainly could be. Technology needs to catch up with the concept because it currently isn't as reliable as they need to be. People also need to change they're perspective on them if they are going to go anywhere. They have a lot of potential and I would love to see them live up to it one day. What about you? | 3 |
A New Place
In the article "The Challenge of exploring Venus" the author talk about the distance between the Earth and Venus. Also he wrote thing refering to the tempeture on Venus and comparing both temperatures Earth and Venus. And then he talk about how the NASA is working to study Venus.
Venus or sometimes called the "Evening Star" is considerate a planet. Venus is the planet closer to Earth, but also Mars is another neighbor from the Earth planet. "These differences in speed mean that somethimes we are closer to Mars and other times to Venus" said the author. This is one of the reasons why it may be a new place for humans live.
The temperature is appropriate for humans. In the article the author show us the planet's surface temperature, it has an average over 800 drees Fahrenheit. He also indicate that the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater, "It is more than what we experience on our own planet" he said. He discover that Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in the solar system. In other words Venus has become a great option to life.
"The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has one particularly compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus" he said. Personal who work for the NASA and has the mission to study and understand Venus have obtain amazing results. One of the results is that the conditions are not easy, but survivable for humans. Machines contribute to their knowledge of Venus, "those machines make calculations by using gears and levers and do not require electronics at all". This study of Venus has comverted on a challenge for humans who have the curiosity to know more about this planet.
The author expres the idea very well, because he show arguments from all the contained. He always have a point to talk about, and always have an argument to suppot it. | 0 |
Space travel is something we people of Earth have just only begun to tinker with. Even after our many launches of aircrafts into the atmosphere, we know very little of what it truly out in the endless void of space. In the article, "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author suggests that studying Venus specifically is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. The author would be correct in this statement as we humans know very little about the planet because of numerous factors making it a difficult planet to study, but solving those problems would lead into advancement. Including that becuase the planet is closely related to earth, that could mean it supported life long ago. Lastly that striving to meet the challenge presented, despite the roadblocks, would lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors.
The planet in space we call Venus has a reputation for how troubling it is to study because of numerous factors. As included in the article, Venus has "A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets...clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid...planet's surface tempurature average of over 800 degrees Fahrenheit...Atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater..." Venus is an extremely difficult planet to study which is why it would be such an amazing goal to study it fully. If NASA and the people of Earth fight to overpower these issues, we would advance as a species, developing more solutions to fight these problems. By facing the problems presented by Venus, we would finally be able to study it and even find out is there is, or was life on Venus.
In the article, "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author stated that "Astromoners are facinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system." Shortly after this, they also stated that "Long ago, Venusm was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth." The search for life in space has been one outrageously demanded by the public and Venus may very well be the place to look, after we can penetrate the bounderies it has in store. It was even stated in the article that Venus even has features extremely similar to some found on Earth, furthering the support that Venus could have or does support life. Regardless if Venus supports life or not, if we as a species can get past the barriers of Venus, would lead us into many equaly intimidating endeavors that we can surpass.
The author sugests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents and supports that when they say, "Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equaly intimidating endeavors." They also say in the next sentence "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." By surpassing the challenge of Venus, we will have the technology an wisdom to surpass other difficult challenges we may encounter, overall gaining the knowledge and power to gain more knowledge and power.
The exploration of Venus is indeed a difficult and dangerous task, but in the end would be worth while. By advancing our technologies we can bypass the dangers of Venus and pave the road to move onto even more dangerous and difficult tasks, both on out planet and outside our planet. We could gain the knowledge of how similar Earth and Venus are, finalizing if it could have or did support life at one point in time. And the factors making Venus so dangerous, would be minimalized and surpassed. | 3 |
The Face on Mars is just a natural landform. If this was a Face, Nasa would've been benefited more. Nasa has more proof that the Face is a natural landform.
This formation is formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and a mouth. The shadows made the landform look like an Egyptain Pharaoh. The Face is a huge rock formation. If this formation was an actual face, Nasa would have benefited and earned money for their discovery of life on Mars. I also state that "a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa is about the same height as the Face on Mars." The Face of life on Mars is compared more times to a natural landform than a face of a Martain. These "Faces"
are common around Cydonia. After long, eighteen years after the Viking missions had ended, our Mars Global Surveyor arrived at Mars in September 1997. We took photographs the Face as soon as we could get a good shot at it. The photo was ten times sharper than the other and we coud get a better view of the Face and it was just a rock landform and not an alien monument. Our cameras are very good quality and you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size. We got a fantastic look at this so called "Face".
In conclusion, this Martain Face is just a natural landform on Mars. Shadows give of an illusion of a face and Nasa has discovered that there is no Martain activity linked to the Face. Many people believed there was once life on Mars because of this incident but in reality there is no alien monument after all. | 2 |
The Facial Action Coding System also is calles the FACS is a interesting solfware. The can be use for great things, but human emotions are complicated. The system emotion need to be bigger cause human have more emotions then happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. I think that the FACS is bad for student to use right now.
The thing I do like abot the the solfware is that it can help alot of kids that wasn't tought right or just don't get certain things. For a solfware that can change the learning process just for you to make it more challenging or make it easier just for is amazing. This the way I look at the solfware will give everybody a better chance cause it not so straight forward as you read this and you have to understand or you can't pass on. Now It can find interesting things you like to read and it make people want to read. This machine also help the teachers cause they can't help every student if they have a class of 30 student.
This is were this solfware go wrong human have way more then six emotions. These emotion we have is very complicated to the point that we don't understand them some times. For a machine to change how we learn on facail expresion is bad because we can be sick and it change the actical cause it thing we are bored or disgusted. That might really like that artical. The same can be said if a person is in pain it can say that person is angry or sad. This is the big flaw with this machine even if it is rightthe teacher or someone can go look back at that and see everything you are feeling. that can be alittle to personal for some people.
This is my thought aboot the solfware. It is very great, and can be very helpful for a lot of people. The big flaws with it is that itcan be to personal for some people. The other big flaw with it the emotion part it vision it to narrow it need to be widen up cause it emotion people it might cagorize it under something it might not be. | 2 |
In 'The Challenge of Exploring Venus," is a great informative story that tells the readers about Venus and its presents. According to the story, Venus has so much in common like our plant Earth. Not only is Earth dangerous but also is Venus. In the author's story it has details about Venus of it's surface, temperature, and how it is the most relatable planet to Earth. Venus is also like our twin planet for it's density and size. How it relates is so many information that people that travel to Venus have to be very careful at what there going for. At most times Venus is a great planet at its presents but also dangerous too.
The almost negative outcomes of Venus is not only the planet it self but how it is inside being in the planet too. The atmosphere of Venus is 97% carbon dioxide which could be challenging for the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric. It's temperature is the hottest surface of any planet in our solor system. It is every dangerous to even land in Venus surface. People who go to space travel to Venus have to spectate high in the sky to see Venus for it's dangeruos surface. At thirty-plus miles above the surface, temperature would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit. The air presure in Venus would be close to that of sea level on Earth. Not easy condition to be there, but survivable for humans.
The most positive outcome of Venus is many small and big deatils about the planet it self. Venus, sometimes called "Evening Start," is one of the brightest points of light in the night sky. It is easy to spot in the sky, even an amateur stargazer to spot. Venus is the second planet from our sun. Venus is most like Earth too. Venus is not only our neighboor but inside the planet is covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth. Venus has a surface of rocky sediments and includes familiar feature such as valleys, mountians, and craters. It is also the nearest option for a planetary visit.
Venus is the most relatable planet like Earth. Because of it's planet being so close to Earth and people going physically to space travel to Venus, we have got great information from them. What sucks it that researchers cannot take samples of rock, gas, or anything else, from a distance. Plus adding that Venus surface is the hottest surface in the universe, who would dare to even go down the surface and risk their life's when it is dangerous. Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risk of our planet sakes. Human are curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors. It is a great challenge for us humans to get a great look at 100% in Venus with out thinking it is a dangerous challenge and a big risk taker. These are reasons with Venus is the most relatable planet like Earth.
Not even our great technology can stand in Venus without having a curoption. Modern day computers are enormously powerful, flexible and quick but tend to be more delicate when it comes to extreme physcial conditions. Researchers have found out that mechanical computers are useful by using gear and lever and how shoking these devices make calculation. and do not require technology at all. All these reasons are why the author tell us of how great and dangerous Venus can be, either for a visit or a great risk to investigate. | 3 |
The development of driverless cars is a good idea.The features that these cars have are more advanced.Less car accidents would accur with the driverless cars.The drivers in these driverless cars would be more alert.The development of driverless cars is a better option for drivers.
First, the driverless cars have features that are more advanced then the ones where drivers have to drive all the time.One driverless car for example like the Toyota Prius has alot of features that are advanced.In the article it states the features,"The Toyota Prius uses position-estimating sensors on the left rear wheel,a rotating sensor on the roof,a camera mounted near the rearview mirror,four automotive radar sensors,a GPS receiver,and an inertial motion sensor."It also states the more important feature in the driverless car."The most important bit of technology in this system is the spinning sensor on the roof,dubbled LIDAR,it uses laser beams to forma
constantly updating 3-D model of the car's surroundings...the combination is all this..is necssary for the driverless car to mimic the skill of a human at the wheel.""The combination of all these advanced features are well put together.
Second,there would be less car accidents with the driverless cars.Even though its driverless it still alerts the driver.The car detects danger faster and can save people from having accidents as when they would be driving by themselfs they would realize the danger too late.In the article it states ,"Within 10 years ,those sensors had become more advanced to detect and respond to the danger of out control skids or rollovers." It also states that ,"The information from the sensors can cause the car to apply brakes on the individual wheels and reduce power from the engine,allowing far better response and control than human driver could manage alone."These features would help the driverless cars have less car accidents.
Third, the drivers in the driverless cars would be more alert.The driverless cars have the combinations of features and more features been added to them that car drivers will be more alert then ever.In the article it states,"Manufacturers are also considering using cameras to watch that drivers are remaining focused on the road.While the driver watches the road , the car watches the driver."The car also lets the driver when to take over.When the driverless car can't do something in a especific situation it alerts the driver.In the article it states,"The Google car simply announces when the driver should be prepared to take over."It also states,"GM has developed driver's seats that vibrate when the vehicle is in danger of backing into an object."These features help keep the driver alert with the driverless car.
The development of
driverless car is a better option than the normal cars.The driverless car has more advanced features which have more techonology then the normal ones.There would be less car accidents with the features that it offers.The driver would be more alert in the driverless car then in the normal car. | 3 |
Imagine you are a scientist and one day you discovered a face on mars. You don't know if its just the landform or is it a sign telling the scientists including you telling something. A scientist in NASA had to take caution at the these types of things. I believe that the face is just a natural landform because after all it was just a rock formation, a theory and it takes more than just a weird formation to look into the work of it.
Rock formations happens all the time on different planets. A camera circling the planet Mars could not even recognize the "Ailens". It was just a formation because there is no actual proof of ailens being on the planet. Rock formations come in different shapes and sizes.
"Ailens" being on the planet is very rare and is a theory. There was no actual footage of aliens. Conspiracy theories happen all the time, just because a face appeared on the surface does not mean ailens were there. It could even be something else other ailens on Mars. Theories are not scientifically proven because everyone has their own controversial opinion.
Thousands of anxious web surfers were all excited and quite confused when the JPL appeared on a website. It was just a natural landform. No ailen momument happened at all.Web surfers had pictures of the face and there was no signs of ailens.
The "Unmasking the Face on Mars" is just a natural landform.There were no actual signs of aliens even with videos and pictures. Conspiricies and Theories happen all the time so everybody will have their own opinion and sometimes it can be controversial. Controversial statements and opinion is what shapes humanity today. | 2 |
The mask found on Mars is just a natural landform. One reason is because there is no life on Mars so it is phisically impossibe for it to be created by aliens. This information is found in paragraph 7.
The mask is a natural landform, however many other people beleived it was an alien because they also beleived that some of the markings were in haze, as it states in paragraph 8. The Mars Global Surveyor took a second look it says in paragraph 10. They captured a picture that was in a high pixel quality and they found it to be the best picture taken of the mask.
Many people beleive that the mask is made by aliens on Mars. They beleive this because it looks like the face of a alien or even maybe a human being as it states in paragraph 8. Many people don't beleive it being possible for the mask to be a natural formation. There is lots of debate over this but science has proved that these people are wrong because it is a natural artifact.
In conclussion, many people think that the artifact is made by alien, however science has proved that this is a natural artifact. With that said, scientists were able to capture amazing high quality pictures of the mask. | 2 |
Scientist Rafael, There's no way it was created by aliens, I think it was just a natural landform because on April 5, 1998, when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos, Anyway thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all, So Scientist Rafael that's proof, that it can't be created by aliens and it's a natural landform, well that's one of the evidence.
Also, in Nevertheless, on April 8, 2001 a cloudless summer day in Cydonia Mars Global Surveyor drew close enough for a second look. "We had to roll the spacecraft 25 degrees to center the Face in the field of view," said Garvin. "Malin's team captured an extraordinary photo using the camera's absolute maximum resolution." Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo, So I think it'similar, the picture actually shows the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa landforms common around the American West. "That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars."
From 1976 to 2001, the images changed into a human face formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." That doesn't mean it was created by aliens and besides, we didn't find no ancient civilization on Mars. I think it was a natural landform and that's all the evidence that i have for you, "Scientist Rafael." | 2 |
We humans have been trying to discover aliens for more than a million years. Why have we not found them yet? We have been up in space multiple times and we have had yet another more multipe times sent space robots that went into orbital. So ask your self this question why have we not found aliens yet?
I think due to evidence that it is a natural landform. I think it is a natural landform because in paragraph one it states that "...when it spotted the shadowly likeness of a human face." When I read this I then concluded that it only really looked like a human because of the shadows that make up the "eyes, nose and mouth" in which makes this rock figure looking as if it has a face. I do think that is a natural rock landform because God created the earth so that only people would live on earth. Also God never created aliens as it states in the begining of Genisis in the bible. Another example of why that the "face" on Mars is a natural landform is because it states in the text on paragraph seven that "There was no alien monument after all." This is poroving that even scienctists have conculuded that there was no landform on mars. Then on April 8, 2001 the space station found to "face landform". Though due to the pixalation i think that it did not look like a face anymore. The scientists should have put each photo in the same pixilation because it would have been an accurate demonstration over the years and how this rock landform has formed.
Based on the evidence from the article and my past knowleadge I have conculded that this rock landform is in fact a natural landform that aliens have not created/ made this face looking landform. So what do you think? | 2 |
The new technology that Dr. HUANG is coming up with is a good idea because I can detect when people in the classroom are trying to hide therre feeing.
In the text it states that
At least according to some new computer software that can recognize emotions. The software is the latest innovation from prof. THOMAS HUANG, of the beckman institute for advanced science at the university of Illinois, working in collaboration with prof. NICU SEBE of the university of amsterdam. Dr. HUANG and his colleague are experts at developing better ways for humans and computers to communicate. The MONA LISA demonstration is really intended to bring a smile to your face, while it showa just how much this computer can do. Imagne a computer that knows when you're happy or sad. For example if you smile when a web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be different. a classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored. | 0 |
Dear, Florida State Senator
The United States has been a country of freedom since July 4, 1776. Its been a country of laws and being equal since the start.
Presidents are elected every four years. They are elected by the people of the United States. People who elect electors, who some go to the House of Representatives. The United States also consist in states. States that lead to division. That division can be use against or with the people of the US. What many people are fighting about is the system that we get to elect our future Presidents. W hen in reality, half of the people on that side of the agruement have no clue what they are even talking about. In the state of Florida, are many people from all over the nation. People that should be educated on the way this wonderful country is taken care of. The United States should be in favor of keeping the Electoral College because it is accurate, competive and reasonable.
The Electoral College is accurate by many different ways. An example is, when states vote on who the Untied States next president might be it always shows a percentage. The canditates in congress can see what they didn't really work their issues in. Which can give them an idea on what they need to improve on with that state if they make it to be a president. The Electoral College is accurate also by how simple it is. Simple as in that it is either a yes or a no if they make it to the next round. Having that simple yes or no can time and money.
A competive trait that the Electoral College has is another main reason why the US should keep it. The Untied States is made on states and having individuality. If the United States didn't have that there wouldn't be no Bill of Rights to beging with. Different people in Electoral College as electors are always good to have. They are good to have because they see a different perspective of what needs improvement in the United States. If the President has that trait of being a different person in the government and improves the United States, there wouldn't many main issues with the Unites States.
Being reasonable in the United States is very important. Especailly when it comes to the elections. The Electoral College looks at what peron can qualify to vote. A citizen of the United States is the only person who is allowed to vote. Terrible tings can happen if that wasn't the case. For example, almost a whole country comes over to the United States, and they get to vote without citizenship. They vote someone who is also not a naturalized citizen of the United States and take over this country. That is a worse case scenario of what could happen.
The Electoral College is a way or system that the United Sates has always followed when electing a president. The United States should be in favor of keeping the Electoral College. They should keep it because it is accurate, competive, and reasonable. | 2 |
Dear, State Senator
The Electoral College is a great process that was created by the founding fathers in the Constitution."The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compronise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens." The electoral college consistw of the electors the meeting of the electors of the voting for president and vice president. The electoral college process consists of 538 electors. When you run for president you have to get majority of the 270 electoral votes its required. Every candidate running for president has there own group of electors."Each candidate running for president in your state has his or her own group of electors." The electors are chosen by the candidate's political party.
When the presidential election is over your governor prepares a certificate of ascertainmentits listing all of the candidates who had ran for president in your state. The certicate also says the winning presidential canddidate in your state."After the presidential election,your governor prepares a "certificate of ascertainment" listing all of the candidates who ran for president in your state along with the names of their respective electors."The states certificates of ascertainments are sent to the congress and the national archives.
The electoral college should be keeping the electoral college because its a very important process of how we choose the president. If we just put our say in the votes some people might feellike htey amde the wrong choose in the voting. And if we just let congress picl our president because thats not fair becuse this is our conutry too adn we should have a say about what the presdent gonna do or what are some of he/she plans to do for our conunty."the electoral college is widely regarded as and anachronism a non-democratic method of selecting a president that ougth to be [overruled]by decaring tht candidate who receives the most popular votes the winner."
There a five reasons to keep the electoral college certainty of outcome,everyone's president,swing states,big states and lastly avoid run-off elections. It is possible for a dispute over the outcome of an electoral college vote." The reason is that the winning candidate's share of the popular vote." A presidential candidate to have transregional appeal."This is a desirable result appeal is unlikelu to be a suffessful president". The electoral college restores some of the weight in the balance the large states lose by virtue.
In Conclusion the elecoral college should stay becase it makes everthing fair for the electoral candaiets and so citizen of the united states have a chance to ahve a say in what they want as a president. | 1 |
My positions on driverless cars is that they shouldn't exist. Those in the next gereration wouldn't know what it would feel like to drive your very first car let sit on the driver's side. Don't get me wrong I understand that it was possible for google to create a car that drove itself for half a million miles without crashing, but you have to understand that freak accidents happen in the world that we can't prevent.
What would happen if an elderly woman is on the highway in a driverless car and the car starts to malfunction and spins off the road. She may know how to drive but her reaction isn't quick enough to stop the car. Freak accidents happen everyday. Technology is so advanced nowadays that I feel like it is to much power in some of our hands. People get carried away and start building things much more powerful than themselves and become power hungry. We have seen it on so many different occasions that we are oblivious to it.
We have drones coming in hospitals now perfoming surgeries for surgenons who are unavailable at the moment not only is that to advanced it is also putiing people out of a job. What would happen to the cab drivers all around the world. What would they do, they would have to start all the way over with a new profession. Those who are barely making it in the ideal society struggle as it is to find a job so with people coming up with ideas like this i feel as if they are being self- centered and not thinking about those who aren't able to provide for their house-hold as it is now.
If you ask me driverless cars are just another extension for the "new lazy" it narrows down all the way to cellphones and T.V. | 1 |
Everyone thinks that the "Face" on Mars was actually created by aliens, but that sounds crazy. Sorry everyone, but actually, it's just a landform. You may not believe it right now. It's true though. I'm here to tell you how it is not created by aliens.
In 1976, NASA took a "MGS image" and people who saw it, thought it was a face. People also thought it was created by aliens, but it wasn't. A few days after NASA had the picture, they let everyone see it and according to the article, the caption noted a "huge rock formation . . . which resembles a human head . . . formed by the shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose and mouth." The Face was just a rock that was not formed by aliens.
People may think it is formed by aliens because, how else would it get there? Or, why would it just randomly look like that? Although the picture does show a human-like face in the structure, they took another picture in 1998 showing that it is just a landform. Also, in the article, a man named Garvin states that he has saw similar landforms that look like the Face around the American West. "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho," says Garvin. "That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars." If there are similar things on Earth, it has to be a landform.
I'm going to make this clear that it is just a landform. In 1998, an MGS flew onto Mars again and took another picture. According to the article, "Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing . . . a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all." In 2001, NASA also sent another MGS to Mars, still no alien monument, just a landform. Even when the Face was a popular trend, defenders of the NASA budget wished there was an ancient civilization on Mars, but there wasn't.
I hope this information helped people understand that it is just a landform. I didn't mean to crush anyone's hopes and dreams, but it's just proof, and science! It's crazy, isn't it? That something that seems so real, just isn't. It's still nice to know that Mars has some kind of a development with nature. That's my argument for the debate on the Face on Mars. | 3 |
Driverless cars. Should they be a thing, or shouldn't they be a thing?
They are capable of many things and they're not even fully made yet. They could be capable of sensing other cars or danger. For example, Google's modified Toyota Prius uses position-estimating sensors on the left rear wheel, a rotating sensor on the roof, there's a video camera mounted near the rearview mirror, four automotive radar sensors, and many more things. I think these cars should be a thing in our society because they could benefit us in a lot of ways.
Yes, these cars aren't 100% advanced right now, but, so aren't electric cars, or cars that run on gas. Cars are cars, they will always get better through out the years. No car is a right car. Smart cars seem like a good idea to me. They are basically... smart. Just like our cellphones they can play music, tell you where you are if you're lost, you can even call people from them. Also, fuel wouldn't be such a big problem. We would use less gas, less gas means less money the U.S. would borrow from other countires. They could help our new generation in many ways.
I agree with the development of the cars because they seem much more safer. Like I mentioned, their sensors are well advanced. They could sense danger. When you're not paying 100% of your attention to the road, your car would let you know whats going wrong. That right there tells me that smart cars could reduce deaths by a lot. Most deaths in the U.S. are caused by driving, if your car lets you know that something is wrong, it basically just saved your life.
Lastly, smart cars could be useful for us in this new generation. People like to text, but thats a horrible idea when you're driving. If you text while you're driving you're basically risking your life. Smart cars could read your texts when you're driving. Also, people don't like being late to work, school etc. Most of the reasons why people are late is because of bad road conditions or traffic. Yes smart cars can't drive around these conditions but Google cars alert the driver to take over the wheel when things like this happens. Also they have a gps on them, since they're made through google they could have google maps in the system & that could tell you the fastes route to your desired destination.
I totally agree with the development of these cars. These cars could benefit us in many ways and are well advanced for our generation so far. They can help you find the fastest route to your destination, they would reduce the use of gas by a lot. Also, they can sense danger & warn you. That seems like a huge positive safety feature. Lastly, they can drive independently under specific conditions. If conditions are bad, they alert you to take over the wheel. So yes, I totally agree with the development of these cars. | 3 |
The author supports the idea Venus is worthy of pursuit despite the dangers it presents using facts and examples to back it up. Venus pose dangers as no spacecraft has survived the landing for more than a few hours on the planet. On the bright side however, Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size as it is stated in the article. The author also points out that, Venus may once have been the most "Earth-like" planet in our solar system.
Since Venus is the closet planet to the Earth in terms of density and size, that gives scientists a hope that they might one day discover something useful to study or use. In paragraph 2, the author states that humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on Venus since Venus is sometimes close to Earth. Many researchers are working on innovations that would allow machines to last long enough to collect helpful informations for scientists to look at. It is going to be challenging however since temperatures average over 800 degrees fahrenheit on the planet surface.
Scientists believe that "Venus was probably covered largery with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth." Venus also has familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and crates like Earth. Lastly, Venus sometimes can be our nearest option for planetary visits. All these similiarities between Earth and Venus should keep scientists optimistic.
In conclusions, people should take their time and carefully plan out how they can safely go on this mission to explore Venus. Like the author said, studying Venus is worth it even though the risks are great. The reward for exploring Venus I believe is going to be great. Finally, I hope everything goes well and they successful complete their missions to Venus. | 1 |
Human emotions are a pain sometimes because some of the time you can't tell whe someone is faking a smile or just being fake in general. I think having a computer facial recongition is a great idea.
The computer reconigition can be great for inside a class room. In paragraph 6 it states" A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored." Now i think that is an amazing idea it would help each and every one of the students across the world. Admit it who likes to be confused because i sure don't. If we are able to invent something like that it would be a world changing product
Also it can show if a child or even an adult is having a sign of depression in life. People keep emotions bottled up and it is not good for people, a lot people who tend to be depressed don't really like to talk to anyone about they're problems but it could be a life saver if the case needed to be done. Even if something makes you smile fakely in paragraoh 7 they say " raise your lips at the corner of your mouth, squint your eyes slighy..., holding that raise the outer parts of your cheeks up toward your eyes." now if you follow those rules you even start to smile and feel happy for a second.
In the end the professors that made this invention are genius's because they may have saved many lifes and people who don't pay attention. There are so many other things that you can think of to make it help. Finally overall the facial expression reconigiton is all in all a great invention. | 2 |
Using technoloy to find out about people emotions can help parents, social, workers, and teachers. On the other hand it can make kids feel uncomforable. most kids don't like to talk about their problems. However kids need to let people help them anyway they can.
Using something good to help children with their problems is a big need in this Country. The computer has an facial action coding symstems to see the six emotions that humans have. One of them attracts all the facial expressions you do throughout the day. Each exprssion is always being compared to a normal face. Also the computer can tell when you're in a bad mood a or in a happy mood. Therefore many people in the world can help each other be happy. Parents take their children to Doctors or therapists so they can get all the help they need. Many kids suffer from school because they are moody, or they are depressed from something. | 1 |
The conspiracy about aliens has been starting to go too far. An isolated mesa was found on Mars, but when its picture was taken, it looked like a face. The conspiracy theorists have been thinking that that's the proof that there's life on Mars, but they're wrong. The picture was taken in 2001, which means it was very detailed, so it would've been obvious if there were any tombs or buildings surrounding the mesa. Also, it only looks like a face because of it shadows. The shadows actually shape it into a face. Finally, if it was actually a sign for alien life, it would've profited NASA, so there wouldn't be a point in hiding the "truth" that the conspiracy theorists believe. These all show that the Face is just an ordinary rock.
The last picture of the Face was taken in 2001. This was a very detailed picture, even for being taken so long ago. Each pixel in the image was equal to 1.56 meters in real life. This means that any other nearby buildings or tombs would've been seen near the rock. There weren't any buildings or any sign of actual alien life nearby, so the picture at least proved that the Face wasn't a sign from the aliens, but just a rock.
The only reason that the Face looks so much like a face is because of the shadows. Without the shadows, the Face might just look like an ordinary rock on mars. The shadows themself give the illusion of the rock having eyes, a nose, and a mouth. Those shadows are the only reason that the Face IS
the Face.
Without those shadows, the Face wouldn't be so famous. Nobody would have probably ever known or cared about it.
The conspiracy theorists and many people in general probably think that NASA is hiding the fact that aliens are real, so they're lying about the Face and just saying that it's a landform, when they think it's a sign that aliens exist. That's not true. NASA is a company that needs money like all the rest. They know that telling people that aliens were real would profit them a lot, so they wouldn't just hide the fact that the Face was an alien artifact if it was one. NASA probably wishes that they had found an ancient cililization on Mars, just for the profit.
The theorists are wrong about the Face being an ancient artifact. The latest picture of the Face is so detailed, that any ancient civilizations nearby would be visible. Also, the Face is only the Face because the rock has shadows along it that makes it look like it has eyes, a nose, and a mouth. Finally, NASA would proabably like to find an ancient civilization on Mars, just so that they could profit from finding something related to alien life. They wouldn't just hide the truth if they could gain money from it. Therefore, theorists should just realize that facts are facts, and that if NASA finds an ancient civilization on Mars, they'll tell everyone. | 4 |
Do you really want to visit Venus? Because I sure do. But the problem is it's extremely dangerous. Mostly because the temperature there is 90 times greater than our normal temperature. 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. That sound dangerous, and it is dangerous because it could hurt and possibly kill someone.
Venus is our sister planet. Some call us twins because of the sizes we both have. But, Venus is the closest to the sun like Mercury is the first panet next to the sun. So Venus is the warmer part of our sisterhood, and Earth are the cold part of our sisterhood. It's sort of like Venus is Anna because of her warm personality. And earth is like Elsa, because of her frozen powers, so she is extremely cold when it comes down to things. Earth at the moment is like Elsa because of its winter landish time of the year.
To be truthful, trying to go to Venus is a good way to learn more about the planets and to see if there is any living sources out there in the galaxy. But at the same time it's a good way to get killed.(not saying you should do it for the fun of it or for suicide.)
You should at least make some sort of suit that is safe for acid to hit it and so it doesn't melt your suit. It will be pretty cool to finally go to other planets and explore them.
For this entire essay I learned about new stuff. I learned that there is acid rain in Venus. There is a thick atmosphere of almost 97% carbon dioxide blankets Venus, I thought that was cool to learn. I also learned that Mercury is the first planet in front of the sun. I totally forgot about that, so I was surprised. So that's what I learned. | 1 |
Dear, State Senator
I belive that in favoring of keeping the Electoral College.Therefore many people have different minds set if which they should have Electoral college. Here 's some background information stated in source 1 What Is The Electoral College "The Electoral College is a process not a place'." The founding fathers established it in the constitution as a compromise betwwen of the president by a vote in congress and the election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens.'My reasons for this is because electoral college can be helpful,have people to rethink, and understandable.Many people thing of electoral college as torchure or even the wrong way to vote.Electoral college have different ways and similar ways from changing to the election by the popular for the president of United States.For example states in source one "The Electoral College consists of the 538 electors"."A Majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the president." Now as you can see in my essay there particular things I would like to talk about.Pertaining about how can electoral college can be helpful in a different ways of changing the president vote.For example what might you think what would be helpful?Stated in source two people thinks "Under the electoral college sytem voters vote not for the president but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president". Now as you come to mind this particular information is not only talking about coloubia is talking about the electoral collge also.According To Source Three "And if an electoral tie seems unlikely,consider this:In 1968, a shift of just 41,971 votes would have deadlocked the election;In 1976,a tie would have occured if a mere 5,559 voters in Ohio and 3,687 voters in Hawaii had voted the other way".People should rethink about their desicions before they pick and choose.According to source three "The Electoral Collge requires a presidential candidate to have transregional appeal.The Electora is widely regarded as an anachronis, a non-democratic method of selecting a presiendt hat ought to be overruled by declaring the candidate who recieves the most popular votes.There are many diffent aspects of Electoral College.
Most importantly electoral college is that it can be understandable.It can be understandable by allowing people to knowing the method of electoral college.According to resource one "Electoral College method is not democractic in a modern snese...it is the electors who elect the president not the president.
In conclusion I strongly I favor of Electoral College because its can be helpful and let people rethink about their decsion and understand the concept of voting for your president.
Sincerely,PROPER_NAME | 1 |
Are aliens accually real? Scientists have been wondering that for many years. I believe they are not. The Face is just a natural landform.
The Face was not created by aliens. In fact, NASA
has no proof that aliens even exist. After all, if they did exist we would have found more creations of theirs by now. Therefore, they do not exist, meaning that the Face is just a natural landform made by weather. NASA has never seen any type of alien life on Mars.
The Face could not have been created by aliens. The photographs show that the landform changed over time. Although aliens could have changed the creation, it would be very unlikely. The weather could have made the shape of the Face change. Some of the Face could have eroded away. Therefore meaning that aliens do not exist, and the Face is only a natural landform.
Others say the Face was created by aliens. However, if aliens existed, they would have made more of these exotic creations. If aliens did exist, why would they give themselves up for some landform after they had stayed hidden for so long? The puzzle pieces just don't fit together. It wouldn't make any sense. The creation is not alien made.
The Face is only a natural landform. It is not something that was created by aliens. In fact, NASA has no proof aliens even exist. They could not say that aliens created it when they have no evidence. In this essay, it is stated that aliens are not real and did not create the Face. | 2 |
As a driver I feel that transportation is very important when getting to your destination, and feel that it can be improved.
But I also feel that the "driverless car" is not the way to do it.
For one the driverless car is not even driverless, you still need a driver and it questions the safety of the driver and those in the car.
First of all the car still requires a driver, which if we are talking about a driverless car, is useless.
The text states that the car will notify the driver, when to shift gears and take over the navigating, when driving through work zones and around accidents.
By doing so it is not an actual driverless car if it still has to notify the driver to switch gears, to drive.
This also leads to my second point, which questions the driver's safety.
It is said that the car will notify the driver when to drive, with a vibration that is being given off by his or her seat.
Therefore not knowing or feeling the vibration, to alert the driver the are going to switch gears to drive the car, can lead to a major car accident.
That being said it is not the best idea to carry out this experiment involving the driverless car, since it is not actually a driverless car and questions the safety of the people in the car. | 2 |
What if there was a way to tell teacher's if student's are sad, mad, happy by using a computer. Something that will tell teachers if that student is confused on what is being taught.
Teens now of days hide their emotion's from parent's ,teachers, friends, anybody that's close to them. You won't know how that child feel's. Holding their emotions in, can cause problems in the classroom. Student's will lose focus on what's going on the class, thinking about thing's on their mind's.
The lastest software innovation from Prof. Huang can tell you if someone is mad, sad, or happy. All the computer need's is a 3-D computer model of that person face. Having this kind of technology to read expressions can be good in a classrooms. It'll tell teacher if that student is confused or bored. This type of technology will also tell if students are happy, mad, or sad. Teachers can confront students by asking if their okay, what part of the lesson in confusing to them.
Using this techology more kids will get good grade, even more kids will gradute. Students will be able to get work done because of teacher asking if their okay or what they don't get about what's being taught. | 2 |
I think that the smart cars would be really cool to have. I think if we have these car some people, like me, may actually want to drive. Some people have a fear of driving, and I think these cars could be a good way to help with that fear. I have this fear because of the car accident in my family.
Another note that would have it be more helpful is help older people to drive. My great grandma never learned how to drive. If these cars were here just maybe it could help her get out of the house more. Many people think that if you get in a car accident, while the smart car is driving the manufacturer should be punished. I don't think this because you still have to stay alert when something is coming up. One other thing I can think of is that the car is not fully driverless. This to some people is a downfall, but to me I think it is awesome. The shows that we are getting lazier by the day. The author states, "... but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires the human skills, such as navigating through work zones and accident... the humn driver must remain alert and be ready to take over." This to me is a major downfall to the car. Driver should still be resposible for any damage that is done to another person or other car. If you are going to drive make sure you focus on the road head and leave the phone alone till you get to your destination or home.
I still think the smart cars are going to be a big thing. Even though it has its downfalls, I think that they will help wth a few issuse. It can maybe helo people get over their fear of driving, or teach older people to drive. But if they do become driverless, I think the driver should still be held responsible. | 2 |
Wow, from the mar really look like humans face. It have eyes,nose, and mouth. It weird that on mar there is nothing and it shape like that is really weird. Most people think there is alien who live there do. They say it maybe it for living thing for alien. I think it just a natural land form because there is no alien monument.
First, The face of the mar really is popular for other. It even appear on hollywood film, books,magazines, and radio. Maybe it just not close enough to see if it flat or it like mountian. It show a lot of stuff going on on mar. Mar is really history for people in may 24,2001.
Next, I think it just natural land form because on the shadow it look like pyramid. If you look at the shadow and you can see it not it have to much pointing on the top. The eyes waht they call it might be the whole for some water. the mouth can be just a crack on it.
Finally, if we can go look closer scientist NASA might catural n tell. They just look at the front they won't know how it shape like to look side to side. Scientist NASA will have to look closer so they can tell if there is alien or not. It depend on to look closer. It just landform because it did have no alien monument.
Conclusion, this is all about face of mar well it truth, but if you look at the shadow it show only triangle. it will be better for scientist to look closer instead just making up stories about unmasking the face on mar. It just natural for land to have mountain, and there is no such an alien. according to ther text"There was no alien monument after all". | 1 |
In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" the author talks about a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System. This new technology enables computers to identify human emotions. Essentially the program looks at a person's face and compares it to a neutral face and then it analyzes what muscles the person used and then it can tell a person's emotion or emotions. However, reading people's emotions is not the only thing this software can do. I believe his software would be a great thing and the world could develop more and get lots of benefits from it.
Not only can this new technology read a person's emotions, it can also make computer animated faces more expressive. This technology would also be good idea becuase "Most human commuication is nonverbal, including emotional communication." This quote is talking about facial expressions and body language. Those two examples are some ways that humans communicate nonverbally. For example when something weird or odd happens and you can't say anything out loud you might give your friend
look and they will know exactly what you mean. Well in my personal experience, my friend and I have gone to a few public places and something out the ordinary would happen. However in some situations it's just not appropriate to start laughing loudly, so we just give each other a glance that sort of means 'did you just see that too?' and we let out a little giggle. But sometimes someone may send you a look and you have no idea what they're trying to communicate. And as for body language, if a person is sitting very stiff and straight up then you would assume the are uncomfortable or trying to be professional, the real reason could be revealed in their facial expression sometimes not always so this new technology could be helpful in showing a person's real emotion. The technology being able to read emotions could also be helpful because what if a child is in an
unsafe environment at their home and they lie to the person investigating, like the social worker, becuase they have been coahed or they don't want to be away from their parents. That could potentially save the child and could get them out of their unsafe environment. This could also be used on criminals, I'm sure police are trained to read facial expressions and know nervous mannerisms but they possibly can't always be accurate. Computer animated faces getting more advanced would be good because then video game makers could get more money for having better graphics. And the faces would be more clear and human like even though they are computer animated.
Also this new technology could make learning more effective and fun for some children. "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored, Then it could modify the lesson like an effective human instructor." Dr.Huang says. In school everyone is taught the same thing almost exactly the same way. However everybody is so different from each other and they could have a different learning style. I don't believe every person has the same exact brain and way of thinking and figuring things out. So why isn't our curriculum different for each learning style? Everybody could sill be taught the same thing just in different ways and that is what this new technology could do. The average of students dropping out of high school could decrease.
In conclusion, I believe this new technology is a good thing with multiple possible
benefits. We could understand people better and how they express their emotion and possibly find out if they aren't being truthful. Students could learn better and want to go to school becuase their lesson could be modified to challenge but not over challenge them, so then they won't be bored or confused. Which could potentially lead to fixing other problems like students giving up and quiting school. Also since we the technology has the potential to tell us if a person is making an expression that could lead us to belive they are lying, more criminals could get caught and be forced to deal with their consequences. | 4 |
Venus can be a scary planet when it comes down to its features. The writer to this story certanly convinced me that we should not study Venus anymore. We have tried to land spacecraft on the planet before, but none have last no more than a few hours, so how are we supposed to study it when it just keeps destroying our spacecrafts. We haven't tried it again in a decade. The reason to this is that Temperatures vary around 800 degrees fahrenheit. Venus has a thick atmosphere of 97% carbon dioxide. If us humans even take a step on Venus we get crushed. Venus has a 90% atomic pressure, which is greater than what we have on Earth. It could even crush a submarine and those are supposed to outstand pressure from the ocean. Venus isn't a very pretty planet either, it has a familiar features as valleys,mountains, and craters. We could use spacecraft to hover over venus about 30 miles or so above it. Even if we did that we couldn't take sample rocks or gas. Are technology gets better throughout the years, so maybe one day well figure a way out to oustand that heat and pressure. Even if we do that though, what would be the sense if we cant even live on the planet. Half of the stuff we use today will never outstand the heat or pressure that Venus has. Including phones,cars,and houses. This shows you that studying venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. | 2 |
Cars can now drive themselves without a person. Cars should not be able to do that. They are ment for people to drive them and have control of them. Involving technology with cars is not safe. Technology can and will fail. More accidents are prone to happen. People are getting to rolled up in the technology world and are loosing skills that could be useful. Various employees will loose their job.
Technology is always failing in businesses. It is not trustwothry. Why put your life in hands of technology? People have expierienced how technology sometimes crashes, freezes, and even recieves viruses. With technology involved vehicles could easily be broken in to or messed with. People now are seeing that technology is taking over and are getting more smart at it. Smart enough to be able to hack and send viruses. Its fairly easy and possible to break in to cars now, but now imagine how easy it could be just controlling with a computer.
Also the number of accidents will go up. One can easily forget how to control technology or not know. With "smart," cars if you forget you will not be able to stop the car which will cause a accident. Regular cars are controlled by people so one can easily and phyisically stop the car. Of coarse cars can always fail and with smart cars the car can stop but what if the technology crashes or fails. Honestly more technolgy is always crashing within people's daily life than breaks.
Also as paragrpah 4 states, the need of smarter roads will be needed for a car to be fully "smart". This whole smart car invloved with technology thing is very expensive. Money will be lost and to untrustworthy items. People should no let their life earnings go to waste on something that can basically be a path to death.
The technolgy already involved with cars is enough. The sensors that help people from hitting surrounding items with their car is really a big help.
As paragrpah 5 states some technology like sensors are nothing new. But improvement on sensors to where the vehicle does all the work and people just sit there does not sound right. This technolgy can help elderly and handicapped people but once again the would need to know how to use this new technolgy.
Getting a computer or any other technology device can take long or usually it is not possible. Getting a car fixed also takes time but, there is always a way that doesn not involve buying a new vehicle. Technolgy doesn't last much time before it gets damaged or a new version comes along. Cars are made to last long and again be able to get fixed up easily. WIth a smart cars, People will have to learn new things wit how to fix and work these cars. Which will take time since fixing a car and working a computer is a different thing.
In conlcusion, technology is taking the world over but technolgy is not worth the lives of people.
It fails and crashes which will make the number of accidents rise. People need to see that although there is problems alreday with regular cars people have more probelms
with computers and phone on a daily basis. | 3 |
Luke Bomberger reasons to join were. He was working two part time jobs at the grocrey store and the bank and. It was a opportunity of a life time so he had to take it his life was just begning When his freind wanted him to join.He was only 18 whe he was drafted to be a seagoing cowboy.
Luke also made fun aboard with when they unloaded they played fun games like. Baseball, Volleyball ,Table Tennis tournements , Fencing , Boxing , Reading, Whittiling and alot more.But they also had hard work to do like the dangers of the sea. One day luke was night watchman he had to check on all animals every hour one night he fell and almost landed in the sea but he cought. Himself before he did but even though he was happy to be alive he suffered an injury from cracked ribs.
Luke is more than Mr.Bomberg he is a hero and opend up the world to other people. Around the world so that's why Luke wanted to become a seagoing cowboy. | 1 |
Yes, I can see where you are coming from this is because there has been some talk about aliens in the past. Though I can assure you that this is a nautural landform that takes the shape of a face. Sir, I am asking to you please take what I am about to say into consideration. Just listen to me and let me explain to you the scientific proof of how this landoform takes on the label or identity of a face. Yes, I get it with the eyes, nose, mouth, and everything. It is very persuasive to looking like a face. Though it is not an actually face it is a nautural landform that takes the details and characteristics of a face.
I want to draw to your attention that when the face is spotted the shadows of the lanform project onto itself making if look like it has eyes a nose and a mouth. It is just crazy how science works sometimes. But if you just sit and think about it logically it makes sense. But yes, there was a great degree of surprise among our mission controllers back at the Jet Propulsion Lab when the face appeared on their monitors. It all came off quite strange. Though when we put it into scientific calulations, the result came back as a nautural landform. And that the eyes, nose, and mouth were just an illusion from the shadows.
Now after hearing all of the scientific calculations, proof, and resonings I hope that you understand where I am coming from. And the fact that it is just a natural landform. Also that it wasn't created by aliens or any other prehistoric creature that claims to live on mars for that matter. Thank you sir for taking the time to listen to my explanations. I highly apprectiate it. Have a wonderful day, and while you are at it I don't mind you sharing my theory with a few other people either. Thank you. | 1 |
A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets venus, its even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric aciod in venus's atmosphere. it is usually 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and sometimes the atmosphere pressure is 90 times greater than what we experince on our own planet. All thought these conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on earth.
Also venus has the hottest surface temperture of any planet in our solar system. Even though mercury is closer to our sun. Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcannoes powerful earthquakes are frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface.
NASA is working on other approaches to studying venus. For an example some simplified electronics made of slilcon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions. These devices were first envisioned in 1800s and played an important role in the 1940s during world war II. Modern computers exidting in those days may sound schoking but these devices make calculations by using gears and levers and do not require electronics at all.
Striving to meet the challenge presented by venus has value not only because pf the insight to be gained on the planet itself but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors.
In conclusion venus has many dangers ways and it is very hot planet. its very hard to study | 0 |
In the article Challenge of Expoloring Venus. the scienctist want to explore Venus despite the dangers.
Venus nickname is called the (Evening Star) because its one of the brightest points of the light in the night sky. humans have sent numerous spacecrafts to land on venus each previous mission was unmanned and for a good reason. Venus reputation as a challenge planet to study despite its proximity to us.
my claim is that Venus is a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide. the more challenging are the clouds of high corrosive sulfuric acid in venus atmosphere on the planet surface temperature average around 800 degrees fahrenheit. and the pressure is about 90 times greater than we have expericence on are own planet.
Venus has value not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself. but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally endeavors. | 0 |
Students do not need a computer telling them how they feel. Knowing how YOU feel is something that no one can change, you change it. The FACS is just a computer trying to get into your mind. But your mind is your own personal business, you only show it sometimes when you want to or sometimes when it's so strong you just have to show it.
In my opinion a computer should not be programmed into looking on the outside not knowing whats on the inside. The saying is,"It's not whats on the outside it's what's on the inside." But a computer has no emotion, just what the programer programed the computer to do. A computer can't read someones smile even though they are depressed. That happens to me all the time. I talk to my friends with a smile, but when I'm talking
about the same stuff to my therapist my face is a little different because I can't express my opinion very well to my friends.
In the article it says that each expression that the computer recieves is compared to a neutral face meaning no emotion. Humans always have an expression on there face therefore they always have somekind of emotion on there face. The nuetral face problably looks like someone being angry or sad or possibly confused. The computer doesn't know what a sarcasitic smile looks like or someone who is truely smiling but there mouth is frauwning so then the computer will see sadness.
In the article it also states that human communication is mostly nonverbal, including emotional Dr Huang said computers need to understand that too. Frankly I think that is insane, thinking that computers need to know our emotions! Computers are just a tool for knowlege, well some our, and some are just to make you be in a virtual world. No. Live in the now, don't go to your computer, show it your face and have it tell you how your feeling. Just listening to your little voice inside your head, listen to that and feel from that. Everyone has emotions so don't be afriad to show it to PEOPLE NOT ROBOTS! Enough said on that.
The article does state that putting on a happy face actualy works, I do believe that. I have read articles relating to that. I have tried putting on a happy face when I was sad and it kinda worked for me but I can't get happy that easy, but I know it probably works for a lot of people. "Whoever thought that making faces could reveal so much about the science of emotions!"
That statement, in my opinion, doesn't really need to be said because showing your emotions and facial expressions is something that every human has and science doesn't really need to be improved for the facial expression.
In conclusion I beleive that computers don't need to know our emotions, people need to talk with each other and share then you could know more about someone. Instead of | 3 |
You get in a car and drive/ get driven around about every day. You may not notice what this means but it means a lot about the future. Driving cars pollutes the atmosphere that you live in. You may think driving a car is good because you get there faster but in reality its polluting our atmosphere with toxins, it's effecting the greenhouse effect. We should limit our car usage to a minimum to protect the earth.
First if we limit our car usage, the Earth would be a better place. Like in paragraph 5 it states that, cars are responsible 12% of greenhouse gas in Europe and about 50% in the U.S. In other words this means that car usage contribute to air pollution a lot. Also if we can limit our car usage this percent can decrease a lot and make the earth less polluted.
Paragraph 3 reads, "When i had a car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Which shows that if you limit your car use, you may become less tense with cetian things and become les stressed out, which makes a happier you. Also, paragragh 24 reads, "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution...." this shows that if you can just can find another way someplace like a bike or a bus that it would be better for you because you wont be so stressed out and you can relax and enjoy yourself like never before.
In conclusion, limiting your car usage will protect mother earth. This matters because what if the earth is not like how it is when your heirs come into the world. so don't drive around to much for the earth can remain how it is. | 2 |
In paragraph 2 it was stated that Google cars aren't truly driverless. Also in paragraph 7 it was said that none of the cars developed so far are completly driverless and humans need to stay alert to take over the wheel. Finally in paragraph 9 it asks who would be responsible if technology fails. I'm against driverless cars.
Humans need to know how to drive a car for simple actions. In paragraph 2 it says divers sometimes need to take over when pulling in and out of driveways or dealing with complicated traffic issues, such as roadwork or accidents.
Stated in paragraph 7 none of the cars developed so far are completly driverless and humans need to stay alert. Human need to know how to drive a car incase technology fails or an emergency. If a human doesn't know how to drive a car and relies on the car and you're in a dangerous situation, then the driver and passengers are most likely to be killed. A human needs to know how to navigate through work zones and around accidents. The Google Car simply announces when the driver should be prepared to take over.
Safety is the number one most important thing when being in a car. It's the drivers job to make sure everyone in the car and themself is safe. If someone is injured or technology fails, who is at fault- the driver or the manufactuer? Trafiic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times.
I'm against driverless cars because Google cars aren't truly driverless, humans need to stay alert to take over the wheel, and who would be responsible if technology fails. | 1 |
In the US many people use different methods to get around. They walk, take a bus, but many use some sort of automobile. All these ways are very efficent but have you ever thought of maybe the outcomes of what cars do to the planet we live on? Let me tell you the things that would change of limiting car usage.
To start off, having to always worry about paying car payments or getting gas can be very pesky knowing you already have to pay for housing,food,clothing and if you have kids supporting them. All that can be very stressfull and make life even harder to live with, like in source 1 mother of two, Heidrun Walter talks about how "when I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Her not having a car made her life way less stressfull and tense then before hand.
Another outcome of limiting car usage would be less pollution. All these fumes are not good for the planet we live on and deffintley not good for us human beings. In source 2 it says how Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air from all the gases in the air from moter vehicles. You know how much fumes would have to be in the air for them to make a driving ban? I mean if thats not putting up a red flag i don't know what would. We only have one place to live right now and its our jobs to keep it clean and protect it.
Without cars people are gonna have to find a way to get around. In source 3 it talks about the millions of Columbians finding that way when they didn't have there car to do that for them. They looked too hiking, skating, and walking. All these alternatives are a great way to live a healtheir life then to just let machines do the work. When you exercise more its said to widen your life span and prevent diseases like Diabetes or Obesity. Being able to live better heatheir lives would only effect us is a positive way.
Lastly another adavantage would be less deaths due to car accidents. So many people die every year from recklace drivers or people driving under the infulence, limiting car usage would drop these numbers down drasically and make life for us way safer.
All these little advantages would make such a big outcome to everyday life as we know it, it would make our lives better in every outlook. | 3 |
Luke the Seagoing Cowboy
I would love to do that again.
That was fun, thanks so much Don Reist for asking me to go.
I loved to be a Seagoing Cowboy, since I'm a small-town boy.
I want other people to go on an adventure and see things they have never seen before.
I say this because I went on a adventure I got to help animals.
I had lots of fun on the boat.
I did things like table tennis, fencing, boxing, reading, whitlling, and games.
It was the life of a Seagoing Cowboy I am living, that I have never lived before.
"I'm grateful for the oppertunity to see the things I saw.
It opened up a whole new world for me.
"Besides helping, people I had the side benefit of seeing Europe an China."
I loved to do it I had lots of fun with the people on the ship.
The animals I met where so fascinating.
There were 335 horses plus!
I would definantly go back another time.
I hope you want to be a Seagoing Cowboy as soon as you hear how fun it is.
I have to go now I have to sign up again for a Seagoing Cowboy.
See you later. I'll tell you what fun I had this time. | 1 |
The author of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" supports the idea of exploring Venus despite the dangers because they believe it will (1) help technology advance further, (2) inform on what Venus was once like millions of years ago and (3) satisfy human curiosity.
The author believes that persuing the exploration of Venus will help further our technology. In paragraph 2, the author states, "...no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours." The author makes a point of saying that one of the main reasons Venus is so difficult to access is because we do not yet have the technology to withstand conditions there yet. However, if we were to start with a minor mission of searching for breakthroughs in what is currently possible and what can withstand all of the harshness Venus has to offer, then we can put that technology to other use that would be able to break the barriers of what humankind thinks to be impossible. The author sees Venus as a testing ground scientists can use to further develop technology with no real risk involved. Trial and error has no trade off in this situation, we only continue to experiment with what we know and question what could be.
Additionally, the author believes that there is still much data that can be collected from Venus to help human kind understand what the planet was once like. In paragraph 4, the author states, "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth." We are always trying to find other possible forms of life in space. Whether it's through radio wave length communication, satellite image, etc. we're searching for other planets that have the possibility of having other forms of life on them no matter if they're microscopic amoeba or just simply a small river. Science is desperately curious to discover what other planets have to offer in terms of supporting and sustaining human life. Therefore, if this planet was once able to sustain life or quite possibly if it did sustain life, that would be an incredible breakthrough considering how close Venus is to Earth. We could learn how the ecosystem was, when it existed, etc. We could even learn how it came to an end to compare to our panet and possibly save Earth from having a similar fate. The possibilities of the knowledge that could be gathered from Venus is endless and is unmistakeably worth indulging in to see what we can come up with.
Finally, the author gives the idea that Venus shoud be investigated to simply satisfy human curiosity. In paragraph 8, the author states, "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." Although the author does not directly say human curiosity is a main reason we should persue the exploration of Venus, the idea of it is subtley implied several times throughout the article. At the end of reading the article, the reader can't help but feel curious as to what Venus has to offer as well. It's simply the product of clever writing and expression of passion that this author has presented in a well informed manner. The reader wants to know if there was once life on Venus and if science can create the technology needed to withstand such an environment. They want to know, if that breakthrough technology is created, what other possibilities lay ahead for humans to further discover? The author secreted their own energy and enthusiasm for such a topic that can be so bland and uninteresting, and instead conjured up curiosity within the reader's mind, enthralling them and leaving them to ponder the potential.
Thus, the author of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" supports the idea that the exploration of Venus should be persued despite the dangers because it will (1) push for breakthroughs in technology, (2) provide knowledge on the possibility of life having been sustained on Venus and (3) satisfy human curiosity on what Venus has to offer and what it could mean for the future of humankind. | 4 |
Driverlesscars should not be manufactured because they are run by computers, they can be dangerous, and they are unrealiable.
All driverless cars are run by computers. Computers can't be realiable because most are due to malfunction or fry at the very least. They use sensors to view the surroundings so the car wont run into anything, but what if the sensors don't catch something and the driver goes flying into a ditch or hitting the car infont of him. With conspirises of goverment spying on people nowadays, this is just giving them an even easier way of doing so with all the cameras and computers the maufactures use. Also with how easy it is for people to hack into computers and softwares today, just imagine someone hacking into a drivers car and either killing him or using him for something.
Driverless cars can be very dangerous. If/when it malfunctions a driver would have no control over the car and he could end up driving off a bridge or into oncoming traffic. What if the driver falls asleep at the wheel and the car can't wake him up in time for him to go around construction, he'd go right through it. This also just makes it easier for people to drive drunk or underage kids driving undetected. It is just causing dangers to happen to the driver and everyone around him.
Since the driverless cars are run by computers they are less realiable. One simply does not soildly realie on just their phone to store all their photos and music, they will back it up with their computer. You can't do that with a car. A person can't just realie on a driverless car to pick them up or be on time. Or if someone decide to chnage where they want to go mid-route. Computers simply cannot be trusted to do a humans job.
Overall, I am againt the development of driverless cars. If this comes to happen, soon people will expect things to hlep them learn, then that leads to not gong to school anymore, and then we'd just be making even more stupid people famous. It even making people more lazy than they already are. How bad is it that they are so lazy that they can't even drive their own car. Driverless cars are run solely by computers, they are dangerous, and unrealiable, which shows they should not be manufactured. Does the U.S. really want to be known as the laziest and dangerous country on Earth? | 2 |
My name is Luke, I have been a Seagoing Cowboy for quite a while now and it is sure fun! I was about 18 when I started to work as a Seagoing Cowboy. I knew that it would be neat experience, but it was more that just a neat experience. It was a wonderful and unique experience, the people I worked with were wonderful.
How long did it take to get there? What if I don't like the jobs there and the people are rude? Are the jobs boring? What if its not the same as it was when you were there? I don't like those kind of jobs where you have to go overseas.
It took a while to get there, but it was worth it! I got to explore unique places and unbelievable sights. Working there keeps you busy, but you get to work with great people and the jobs are usually fun even if they sound boring.
Is it a unique adventure getting there? What if I don't like the way they do things and your telling me a different story?
When my friend told me that it would be a neat adventure, I got excited, but it was way more than that, we rode in on a cattle-boat, so we got to explore the Panama Canal and much more! Being a Seagoing Cowboy allowed me to experience unique places and an important thing is, it made me more aware of people and their countries. It helps you learn how to help and care more about people, you should go be a Seagoing Cowboy because it was an awesome experience! | 2 |
Venus, sometimes called the “Evening Star,” is one of the brightest points of light in the night sky, making it simple for even an amateur stargazer to spot.However, the nickname is misleading because Venus is actually a planet.Venus is the second planet from our sun, and it has proved a very challenging place to make us examine more closely.
Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density,size, and occasionally the closest in distance.Because Venus is sometimes right around the corner, humans have sent numerous spacecrafts to land on Venus.However, each mission was unmanned.The reason why it was unmanned is because no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours.It may explain why not a single spaceship has landed on Venus in more than three decades.
These are the reasons why studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers.First, long ago, Venus was probably covered with oceans and could have supported so many forms of life, just like Earth.Second, Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit, considering the long time frames of space
travel.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) has one great idea for sending humans to study Venus.Their 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 a sea level on Earth.Solar power would be plentiful, and the radiation would not exceed Earth levels.It is not easy conditions, but it is survivable for us humans.
However,peering at Venus from a ship orbiting safely far above the planet could provide only limited insight on ground conditions.Researchers cannot take samples of rock,gas, or anything else, from a distance.Therefore, scientists that are seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understand Venus,they would need to get up close, despite the risks.
NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus.Some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating Venus's surface and lasted for three weeks.Another project is an old technology called 'mechanical computers'.These devices make calculations by using gears and levers and don't require electronics at all.Systems that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure,heat, and other forces.
Human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors.Our travels on Earth and other planets should not stop us by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet wonderful edges of imagination and innovation. | 3 |
This technology can be very helpful with students who get bored or confused. I'm not going to lie i get bored too sometimes and i feel that this technology would to keep me intrested or help me how to do things. In paragragh 6 it says," A class room computer could recongize when a student is becoming bored or confused, Dr. Huang predicts. Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective instructor."
It is valuable because then you can tell when some one is lying or trying to hide experssions. What if some one killed somebody and they said they didnt do it, but when they use the software they can tell that they didi it. The author states,"even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression. Using video imagery, the new emotion- recognition software tracks these facial movments. Each expressions is compared against a neutral face."
All in all, this technology could be a big improvment on our schools and how the students study or even how they learn. A students emotions can go from bored to woah this is awesome and even i get it now. If my school had this technology i wouldnt take it for granted also i would probably benifit from this new facial technoloy. | 2 |
The author is givin a good suggestion about studying Venus , because like myself i dont know that much about Venus and i feel like we should study it. Thats because i feel like we should know about this plannet on are earth no matter how dangerous it is. The author made some good statements about it like Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system. Even though Mercury is closer to our sun like how is that possible . Also a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. These are all important things i think myself should know and everyoone else who doesnt Venus seems to be a very important plannet on are earth that people barely know about . When we should know about it. Not a single spceship has touched down on Venus in more than 3 decades like why hasnt anyone went there to check it out see if anything has changed see if theres anything new about it thats another reason people should start studying it we dont know anything about this plannet no one has seen in over 3 decades thats a very long time. NASA is the only system working on studying Venus.In the 1800s devices were envisioned, and played a important role in the 1940s during World War11 . All these things we didnt know about Venus because of the danger because no one hasnt seen it in over 3 decades this is all the reasons why i agree with the author. | 1 |
LET PEOPLE BE FREE
Luke Bonberger had no idea that his life will change soon.So he started to think about it then he new what to do.But he new his life was going to change soon when he graduaed from high school. So he friend don Reist invited him to Europe on a cattle boat,but Luke couln't say no but is new it was aopportunity
Then they went so he had to do alot of thing like cheak on the animals once ahour.Luke cross the atlantic Ocean 16 times but he got use to that.Then it was world war 2 was over europe, and many countries were left in ruins.So to help thoes countries give them more food, animals, amd more thens.
People should always be free in eat in live from as long as they can because they don't nothing to peole to hurt them like that.People need to stop the fighting in the killing to beating on there kids.It's not fear to kids if they are getting hurt on all the after
kids are self in sound not getting hurt or betting, | 0 |
For me I'm not okay by techonology called the Facial Action System because that can't tell that you can describe people's emotion, For me i think we're the only one and are family who can tell what's are emotion we can't also tell what's other's people emotions and also if you really don't know that person you can't really say or red what's their emotions. Like example even we smile in front of people that doesn't express that we're really happy etc because sometimes people smile because they don't want to see other people's worrying for them so they're just choosing to smile in front of them. Like me sometime's if im with other people even l'm sad or angry, l don't what to show what's my real emotion because l'm just choosing to smile in front of them because i don't want them to worry about my emotion or something. The only people who can read or tell what's are emotion is no other than are parents because they know us better than other people. We been on their tummy for nine months so they are the only one who can really read or tell what are emotion.
"While looking in the mirror " By looking in the mirror can't really explain or say what's are emotion are becuase mirror don't speak and it doens't tell your emotions. People use mirro just becuase they want to see what's on their face or if it's dirty or what, how they look before they go somewhere. Mirror just copying what were doing in front of the mirror like if you start talking ofcorse your twin face in the mirror also gonna start talking too,becuase mirror is just a piece of a glass that can't describe what's people's emotion. Mirror can copy what were doing but can't say what are emotion or feeling.
"Dr. Huang predict that it could be modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor. The same technology can amke computer-animated faces more expressive for video games or video surgery because of of human is nonverbal, including emotional communication. Dr. Huang said computer should understand that too becuase its really hard and different. | 1 |
In paragraph 8 he says" our travels on earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubs." The author thinks it's a good idea to try and go but he also thinks it's bad becasue you can die. The author even states that it's a challenging place to examine closely.
In paragraph 5 the author talks about (NASA) having a plan for sending humans to Venus. NASA is trying to invent a vehicle that could go to Venus but avoid the rough unfriendly conditions of the ground. The vehicle could float over the storms and manage to get through the 170 degree temperatures. The air pressure would be close to sea level on earth. The conditions are survivable for humans but not easy.
In paragraph 7 it is talking about how NASA is trying to invent other eletronics that are made of silicon so we can get ansers. Looking back at old technology that's called mechanical computers may have a big role. Those computers were an important role in 1940 during World War ll. The computers can calculate thigns that other electronics can't.
In paragraph 3 the author talks about how bad the conditions are. The author states that 97 percent carbon diocide blankets Venus and how there are many clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid. The atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience here. The author also states that the environment would crush a submarine.
In conclusion the author and NASA are both on an agreement to get some more people up to Venus. The author and NASA both state that the conditons are bad but they would love to make something work out. In paragraph 8 the last thing the author points out is the "dangers should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." | 3 |
Everyday when you wake up and get ready for work there's always one thing you use, it's inched it's way into your daily life and now you wouldn't be able to do most things without it. It's your four wheeled friend that sits out in your driveway or garage, your car. Every day millions of people drive miles and miles in a car, using them to go to work or to go and see other people, but what people don't understand is the need to limit just how much they use their automobile companions.
Cars have changed our lives for the better and for the worse. They save us a tremendous amount of time by making traveling super efficient, but along with that is air pollution. Cars emit greenhouse gasses, and these gasses trap heat which in then leads to warming of the surface of the earth. This warming of the earth creates drastic changes in many environments such as the polar regions. "Passenger cars are responsible for twelve percent of greenhouse gas emmisions in europe... and up to fifty percent in some car intensive areas" This was stated in an article about German suburb life witout cars. By limiting the amount of which we drive and by switching to alternative sources for transportation we can lower the amount of greenhouse gases and stop the heating of the earth.
Furthermore, these gases create smog. Smog is similar to fog but instead it has gases emitted from cars in it. Smog is usually thick and can be hazardous to environments. It was so bad in Paris that they set a partial driving ban in which people couldn't not drive becuase they didn't want the smog to get worse. The problem here is that people still continued to drive out even though there was a ban being inforce. So, this is another issue in which cutting back on car uses can fix. If we switch to biking to places that are withing biking distance or walking to place that are walking distance than we wouldn't have to worry about smog, or bans.
Automobiles have changed the way we live our lives and the way we do things, but they also have changed our communities. The typical city today consists of tall buildings and a surplus of streets and avenues, but parks are not as common. In Bogota there has been celebrating a day without cars for three years, and it has seen changes in the community. By having everyon give up their car for a day it can change their view on things, can make them notice things about the place in which they live in that they did't know about before. It can show them the beauty of their surroundings and this can lead to people wanting to protect that beauty and improve their city. This can be done in the form of building parks, and fixing uneven sidewalks.
So all in all, we depend on cars for daily purposes and it may seem hard to let go of your keys and walk, but if we all do that every once in a while it can lead to tremendous benefits. Imagine if you could walk outside and see people walking and enjoying themselves, not having to worry about gas prices or traffic jams. Imagine if we didn't have to worry about greenhouse gases or smog. Going for walk instead of driving may not seem like much, but it has major impacts on a multitude of things. | 4 |
The government claims they are for the people. In which the electoral colledge is cerrupt considering that every state doesent have the same amount of votes. Even thoe a presedent can get majority vote it wont matter because the other presedent has more votes according to the electoral colledge. Your not even voting for the presedent your voting for,a state of electors then they elect the presedent, how do you know that they are going to vote for your spacific presedent. This shows that a simple system can be rigged for failure.
Sorce 2 paragraph 11 shoes that certain electors refused to vote for there partys presedent. Popular vote is a simpler less fool proof system and should be considered if the government is trully for the people. The electoral colledge it is a very sensitive system and alot can go rong vary easyly,knowing that your vote might not actually matter can be frusturating because your relying on a nother person to vote for that presedent. We the people should change the system from electoral colledge to popular vote its only fair to the citizens that actually vote, and its more fool proof.
Sure they say that curruption happens vary rarly in this system but you cant simply trust somebodys word like that expessualy now in days. Its scary how you have to vote for a state to vote for you chosen presedent its just a longer more complicated system that can get messed up easyly. Election for the presedent is a big deal our presedent has the biggest role in the country and if we cant rely on electoral colledge because it can easyly be currupt or damaged than that could screw the whole country over.
I think we should change to popular vote because it stands more for the people and is more fool proof and can work better for a number of reasons. I hope the state senitor wold be able to take this idea in and make it work. | 2 |
I think having smart cars is a good idia . I think it will prevent people from gettin injuries and getting in a car carsh .but then
there is some pros and cons about having smart cars that are
safer in the roeds .I n my point of view i think we are try to prevent the death rate from people crashing each year .So we are making this world a better place .
I think that the good thing about this cars are that thay dont take up as much fuel.They do prevent injuries from happening.
they made the next reveloution of cars alot safer. The car
lowers down are death rates of car crashes each year .You dont have to stand in trafic no more because it tells you were traffic is.
My negative thought's about this is that some thing can go wrong with this piece of technlogy.They are having a argument about if some body crashes who's responsabilty is it you or the creater. The car
doesn't always protect you from crashing it tells you that you are about to carsh bout it dont stop the car.some people are picky about the look of the car. Thay should test it out to see if it is a safer way to drive.
I feel like they should take thoughs negative thoughts and make them into good ones. But we know that no matter what the futer is gonig to change so they are going to make cars safer. They are going to make technology better then ever .We should be thinking in are safety and thoughs cars could lead to that.make us a better state makes us look better to.
So like i siad trying to make this world a beter place to live on.so i say lets give this idia a try we have to in my opinon . let I siad it prevocts people from crashing . lower death rates in are state makes us look better. i know there is some pros and cons but guy think about your childern they need to be safe to.. | 2 |
Nick D'Alto, the author of Making Mona Lisa Smile, explains how new and advanced technology can read and translate facial expressions down to percentages of emotion. He uses credible sources like college professors and creators of this new technology to further this thought and out them into benefitial environments like classrooms. Putting Facial Action Coding Systems (FACS) in classrooms would be valuable because it will be reliable when solving issues of students, understanding their thought process, and forces teachers to break down lessons to confused students.
Knowing the FACS can identify human emotion, it can understand students thought process trough out the lesson they are given. Due to personal experiences, everyone has once in their lives misunderstood what was said to them in class. With the FACS system present the teacher can simply slow down the pace of their teaching to where each and every student can understand.
The FACS system can prevent common problems in a classroom environment happen before it even occurs. If there were to be conflict between two sudents, before a fight occurs, the teacher can simply call the student up to their desk so the computer can scan their face in order to find out how and why one student is acting towards another.
Lastly, the FACS system will force teachers or professors to break down lesson in their simplist forms. Understanding the FACS system can be used like a translator, translating nonverbal communication, the teacher can quickly switch up teh style of their teaching.
In conclusion the FACS system would be helpful in more environments than a classroom. It would be very helpful in environments like a psychiatrist or counseling. In a community where emotion is more relevant to the occupation. | 2 |
I don't believe that we should keep the Electoral College. Popular vote seems more like the way to vote for a president. Considering there are only 538 electors in the Electoral College, and only 270 votes are required it doesn't seem right that the people don't get to voice their opinion. Also considering the fact that the Electoral College may not be an efficient means of voting because of what happened in the 2000 election. Bradford Plumer states that it was the biggest election crisis in a century. We wouldn't want something like that to happen again.
If we use the popular vote instead there may be less chaos and the system would be more efficient. In the Elecoral College one person could say what is going to happen over thousands of people who may agree or disagree. Which to me doesn't seem like the right choice. The people of the United Sates should have the choice of who should be our next president. We as U.S. citizens have the freedom of speech and the right to vote. The Electoral College is simply unfair to voters,as well as irrational, as Bradford Plumer has stated. But Richard Posner does state that the Electoral College gives political balance to bigger states when it comes to the elections. Though it may benefit in some way it still has its flaws and shouldn't be used in something as big as an election for the president of the United States. | 2 |
Being able to read the emotional expressions of students can be innovating. Many student can have problems, but with this technology it can be solved in minutes. The use of this technology is valuable to read the emotional expressions of students because if the student is having problems the teacher can help them with their problems, the teacher is aware of what her students emotional expressions are, and other students can help other students according to what emotional expressions they show.
The use of this technology is valuable to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom because if the student is having problems with their emotions the teacher can help them out. According to the passage it states " Shes 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry." This means thats as the machine shows the emotinal expressions of the student the teacher can see what he or she is lacking in and maybe help with that.
The use of this technology is valuabke to read the emotinal expressions of students in a classroom because the teacher is aware of what the students emotional expressions are. Accoridng to the passage "there is new computer software that cna recognize emotions." This means that the teacher is going to be aware if what her students emotionak expressions are going to be.
The use of this technology is valuable to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom because other students can help other students according to what emotional expressions they show. According to the passage this machine can detect facial movement to see what the emotional expression is about the student. Therefore this means that other students can help other student if, lets say for example if a student is 90 percent disgusted, then other student can help her to feel better.
This technology could be innovating to many schools in the world. It can help detect if students could be depressed, or have trouble at home, it can help teachers to help their students out. All in all this tchnology is valuable because it can help a lot of kids from suicide or many more things because if the machine detects that they are depressed the teachers can help. | 2 |
Having driverless cars into our life is one less problem that we have to worry about in our daily life. It will help our life get so much easier, because you might not have to worry about fuel prices or driving to places when you're tired. Also it will help reduce the number of teenage's death, because most of the death of teen are cause by car crashed. It's good for those who travel a lot, because as a driver you don't have to drive all the way to the destination. By having Driverless Cars into our life, it'll save money, help reduce the cause of teenage death and it help to drive for you when you're tired and need to take a rest for a bit.
First of all, I think it's a great idea to have driverless car, because it helps reduced the death of teen. In American, almost most of the death of teenager are caused by texting while driving. Although many organizations tried to tell teenager to "Stop Texting while Driving", it is not effective, because in these day more teen are being pressure by technology whether it is in TV or Internet and they want to be cool. That's why having Driver less can help reduced the death rate. For example, if you're driving and text message pops up, you can let the car drive by itself and text. In paragraph 2, it said that the cars have been driven more than a million miles without a crash which mean that teens and young adult can let the car drive for a couple hours and text which can save their life. Not only does it can help reduced the car crash rate, it can also help you save money.
"The cars he foresees would use half the fuel of today's taxis and offer far more flexibility than bus." If they do succeed on letting driverless car legal, it would help individual so much. Traveling is fun things but nowaday not many people travel or goes to roadtrip anymore because one of the main problem is that they don't have the expenses to paid for the fuel or spending too much on fuel can decrease the amount of money they can save. If they do secceeded on having the driverless car and the fuel cost less to use it, then it would be great for many people. More people will be able to save money. Not only that, it will greatly help with the growth of our economy.
Last but not least, the function of the car is beyond our senses, because not only does it drives by itself but it can also elert driver when someting is wrong. "They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead required human skill" paragraph 7. In case of emergency whereas the car are not capable of functiong need the driver to take over, it can elert the driver to take over. Also in paragraph 7 it said, "This necessitates the car being ready to quickly get the drive's attention whenever a problem occurs. GM has developed drive's seats that vibrate when vehicles is in danger of backing into an object" So, when it required the drivers to drive, it can vibrate their seat to get their attention. I think it's a great idea to have that in it because it can prevent running into conflicts.
To conclude that having driverless car can help reduced the death of teenagers and young adult. The car can take over when people need to text or make a phone call, and it can drive for you when you're distracted by your surrounding that you can focus on the roads which can help reduced the chance you'll have accident. Not only that, it can help you save money. By spending less in the fuel, you can keep some change in your pocket. Also it can help drive for you when you got to sleep or take a nap if you're in long roadtrips. It support safety for the drivers, whereas the system elert the driver if the car encounter a problem and needed the driver to take over. That's why having driverless car can help our daily life and improved the way we live. | 3 |
In this story we are trying to see if the technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions.
I think that the computer is going to work for that, is not going to be the same but is going to work. The monalisa is something that people believe in but if a new computer software came out with 3-D and 44 major muscles must move like human muscles. I think that computers can read peoples emotions with just a video imagery. In paragraph 6 Dr. Huang said that " A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored".
In this case i think that the computers are the prefect thing to work with because the technology is growing really fast. I think that computers should identify if a student is confused or bored. The same technology can make animated faces more expressive. For video games Dr. Huang said that "Most human communication is non-verbal, including emotional communication","computers have to understand that too".
I learned that computers can make a huge different in our life, and it can help us know how we're feeling at the moment. I think that's a really good thing for a future that is coming. | 1 |
In 1976, the Viking 1 took a photo of what was thought to be a 'face' on Mars. The 'face' had a shadow that loomed over the formation; the shadow making it appear as a human face. NASA was thrilled when the Viking 1 captured the picture. A few days after the team found it, NASA reveiled the picture to the public.
Ever since the photo was published, theorists have speculated over what the formation actually was. Many were to believe that it was an alien structure. In fact, it actually is not. The 'alien artifact' is actually a mesa. Mesas are commonly found on planets such as Earth. There would be no possible way that the mesa would be an alien structure.
In the passage, NASA has been taking pictures of it from 1976, 1998, and 2001. Since then, the images have been sharper. In 2001, the picture clearly shows a mesa, not a face. When the latest photo was taken, Malin's team had made the digital picture three times sharper than the rest of the photos. He states that if you were to take a picture of pyramids or other formations, you would be able to clearly see what they were.
The 'Face on Mars' is just a conspiracy theory. No one can actually confirm that there is such thing to exist. If there was such thing on Mars, NASA would probably examine it a bit closer and may reveal to the public about it, but for now, we can only wonder if there really is a face on Mars. | 2 |
I think the election system should change to most popular state votes because it's only counting Americans who represent the Democratic and the Republican. The Electoral College does get its votes and completes the system but you have to vote for a slate of electors, not just that but voters can't always control their vote and voters would get confused about the electors and probably would vote for the incorrect candidate. The Electoral College is unfair.
In 1960, the Louisiana legislature nearly replaced the Democratic electors with new electors so John F. Kennedy wouldn't get the most popular vote, while that was going on electors were being defiant about voting for their party's candidate and voted for whoever they wanted to choose. also in 1960, a state sent two slates of electors to congress in Hawaii, but Vice President Richard Nixon validated his opponent's eclectors without establishing a precedent.
If the state uses a different system such as counting votes from different states, we wouldn't have as much problems we have with it now because the votes in the electoral college are outdated and irrational, even Bob Dole said "Abolish the electoral college!". Americans who vote in the electoral college would not be confused and fussy anymore about who their voting in a different type of system because the electoral college system would sometimes be unorganized and not allow equal votes.
An anachronism is a non-democratic method of selecting a president that ought to be overruled and receives the most popular votes wins the president election. the Electoral College method is not democratic because the electors elect the president only, Americans are only voting for the slate of electors and voting for the presidentail candidate. The winner of the electoral vote doesn't win the most popular votes, but in 2000, Al Gore had more popular votes than George Bush but less electoral votes than Bush
So the reason why we should retain the electoral college sytem because it's not fair because they avoid the run off elections which happened in 1968 and 1992 to Nixon and Clinton but the electoral college reduced the electoral votes in the run off elections, the electoral college never thinks about the outcome and almost have the winning president lose, in 2012 Obama recieved 61.7 percent of the electoral vote and had the same percentage of popular votes than Romney, and the electoral college turn off potential voters for a candidate knowing their votes will have no effect because they don't pay attention to the campaign. | 2 |
"The Challenge of Exploring Venus"
ESSAY
"The Challenge of Exploring Venus" is an article about the planet Venus.The article talks about features that Venus has and how dangerous it could be to humans to explore. The author of the article supports the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit, despite the dangers that could happen. Why does the author support that idea?
Why does the author support the idea of exploring Venus even with all the dangers that come when exploring it.The author does not say
that exploring venus would be a worthy pursuit despite all the dangers that could come, but he shows in the article facts that prove that he supports the idea.For example in paragraph number seven he states , "
NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus. For example, some simplified electronics made silicon carbide have been tested in a
chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions."This shows that he belives that there will be an exploraion on planet Venus.
The Author of " The Challenge of Exploring Venus" belives that exploring venus is possible in the future.Technology is getting more advance everyday,He stated in the text with facts that he is right in what he belives. | 2 |
The world of driveless cars will come in the near future says Sergey Brin. Since the 1950s, the car companies have been thinking of self-driving cars. Some people may agree to these smarter cars but others may stick to just driving themselves everywhere. If I had to choose I would much rather be driven by the diverless cars, but I don't think I'd trust them to not get in any accidents.
I have mixed feeling about these cars because I'd prefer one but have to choose the other choice. So my final choice would be that I'd drive myself. I would drive myself because I would feel safe knowing I had the wheel and not some AI that could malufunction or make a wrong choice. In other words I would know what's going on and know what to do in bad situtations, such as the article said in other car accidents, difficult traffic situtation, and bad divers. Also, the GPS that the car has could be out dated and not go the right way, so you would probably be late to where ever you are going. Which brins me to my next point, my mom always makes me late so if I leave a little late then I need to drive a little faster than the speed limit (but not enough to be pulled over) to make it on time. Another thing I wanted to bring up is if the car is diverless and all you need to do is tell the car where to go, then is would be easy for little kids to get in the car and make the car drive not knowing what they are doing and get in accidents easier.
I could agree with some things on the driveless cars. The first thing I can agree on is that it has sensors so that it can sense other cars coming towards it. I also like how they might be different versions to the self-driving cars, like som might be sensored or some might beamagnetized. Finally, I like how if you were to get in a tight spot, then the car will force you to do all the heavy lifting so you don't get hurt.
The driverless cars have their ups and downs but they will probably end up in our laps sooner than we know it. The driverless cars are in our future and that future is not far away. But I, like some people, will stick to the old way of drive a car. | 2 |
venus might sound like an interesting planet to discover but is it that important to risk it.
venus is a very interesting planet to learn and study about. It has many different things to look at like formation,consuistency,and even life perhaps. But besides that is it really safe for us to go there the risks that 97% of the atmosphere is carbon deoxide that means you would need a long lasting oxygen tank. The other problem is the tempature reaching up and maybe over 800 degrees Ferhinheight. that means if you had that oxygen tank it would melt so you have no oxygen and would die.
Other causes that can be unsafe is the amount of presure it is recorded that its 90 times more preture build up and you would be crushed to death if it could crush a subramine. There is errupting valcanin ash that would errupt and make you disinigrate instantly.
It ight be cool to learn about and discover new things but is it worth it? Why should we risk to go out and learn about a planet that is so deadly should we take the risk? I feel like its not wotrth to risk a life over a planet.
With all the discovery that can be disovered
The life of one is more inportant than to know about a planet. The thought of it should be revised and looked st again. | 1 |
In the text,"The challenge of Exploring Venus" it says that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. On paragraph 5 it says, " NASA's possible solution to the hostile coditions on the surface of venus would allow scientist to float above the fray." I says that NASA does more studying they are going to sent people to study Venus. while, they are studying for Venus they can float around Venus and see it around and how it looks like. In paragraph 7 it says," NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus. For example, some simplified electronics made of slilcon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions." NASA has been trying to study Venus for a long time and they are trying to approach it so they are sending people to study Venus and they have made some inventions. They have been sending it with people that are going to venus and trying it out. NASA is trying to do something with computers called Mechanical Computers. These computer are going to be more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces. The computer are going to be more better than out computer and phones. In many ways is going to be hard because it does have some risk factor to go to Venus but they are trying to find new inventions are diging up old inventions like the mechanical computers. In many ways I would want to go but then I wouldn't because their is some risk to it. | 2 |
A major form of transportation that has been around for a long time is driving in cars.
Now, people are relying less on cars and are finding different methods of commuting. Some countries are even banning cars. Limiting car usage will have many advantages, such as reducing stress and benefitting the enviroment.
Cars come with a large amount of responsibility, which causes people to have stress.
Many people are actually happier without cars. Heidrun Walter, a media trainer and a mother of two, stated that "When I had a car, I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." (Source 1: In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars by Elisabeth Rosenthal) People can be tense from having a car because they have to do things like pay for insurance, pay the monthly bill for the actual car, pay for gas, and worry about where to park. Living a life without a car means that you are saving money and you are walking and biking more. "Parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughout the city." (Source 3: Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota by Andrew Selsky) Due to the lowering in the number of cars, people are being able to go outside more into new parks, go workout with friends, or just enjoy the outdoors. All of this is healthy and good for a person, and causes a person to relax and feel less stressed. Due to no cars on the road in Car-free day, there is no such thing as rush hour traffic, so people do not have to worry about leaving early or standing in traffic for a long period of time. Many who drive cars tend to have road rage, causing them to shout or get mad, which is not good for their health. People that drive to work on their bikes or use public transportation will not experience road rage, which will cause them to be happier. "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution" said businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza as he rode a two-seat bicycle with his wife. (Source 3: "Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota" by Andrew Selsky) Car-free day allowed this man to go to work in a fun way with his wife, enjoying the outdoors while also spending time together. If he had taken a car to work, he might have not went with his wife and had a good time. Limiting car usage will lead to less stress and happier people in the long run.
A big reason for the great amount of pollution in the world today is from cars.
Reducing the number of cars will also lead to a better enviroment with cleaner air. "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe... and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States." (Source 1: In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars by Elisabeth Rosenthal) Pollution is a major problem in many counties, such as the United States, and limiting the amount of cars on the road will surely have a positive impact on the enviroment. It will not do any harm. "If the pattern persists- and many sociologists believe it will- it will have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the enviroment, since transportation is the second largest source of America's emissions, just behing power plants." (Source 4: The End of Car Culture by Elisabeth Rosenthal) Since transportation is one of the major reasons for the amount of pollution in America, imagine the benefit to the enviroment that will occur if the amount of driving and car usage becomes limited. This is a very ambitious goal to curb America's greenhouse gas emissions. It is proven that fuel in cars is blamed for polluting counties. For example, Diesels make up 67 percent of vehicles in France, and is also blamed for polluting the country. (Source 2: Paris bans driving due to smog by Robert Duffer) Smog is caused by the pollution, and is the key factor to the reason why Paris is banning driving. The only place the ban of cars will negatively effect is the car industry. People use their car sometimes for uneccessary situtations, such as driving to a friends house if they live a short distance away. "The Internet makes telecommuting possible and allows people to feel more connected without driving to meet friends." (Source 4: The End of Car Culture by Elisabeth Rosenthal) It is not always needed to drive somewhere to meet up with someone. Technology nowadays, such as cellphones and computers, allow us to call, text, or video chat with people who are far away. This saves time and gas, and will be better for the enviroment.
Cars are not always necessary for commuting, and they also cause stress. They are harming our enviroment by polliuting it with its carbon emissions. There are other ways of transportation, such as public transportation, walking, or riding your bike. Limiting the amount of car usage will lead to people being healthier and less stressed, as well as the air being cleaner. | 3 |
2,000 animlals dead! What if you had to go and help take them across the sea?! Well Luke does, you can play games, you get to see different kinds of animals, and help different countries and see different things. Would you do this or would you not even think about it?
You get to play games, such as volley ball baseball, and table-tennis. Also fencing, boxing, reading, and whittling games. The other guys will play with you and things like that. Luke also is with his friend so you can talk to one of your friends. An if they wanted to do it with you.
You get to see different kinds of animlas. He gets to go to a whole bunch of different countries that got destroid. So they may need to take a girrafe or a monkey you've never seen before. You also get to take care of thoughs animals, and pet. You kinda get to be the owner of the animals.
You get to help different countries out and see different things. Like Luke got to see the Acropolis in Greece. He got to take a Gandola ride in Vinece Italy, a city with streets of water. He also got to tour an excavated castle in Crete, and marveled at the Panama Canal. He was happy that he was able to help people out.
I hope that you join this cattle boat. Hopefully you were inspired enough. Like I said there's a lot of things to do on the boat. | 2 |
Benifits on Limiting Car usage
Cars are one of mans geat creations but they are great because they are eassy not because they are good. In hevy populated areas cars make up about 50% of the greenhouse gas. and in just europe family cars make up 12% of green house gas. Some cars are efficient more than others but those tend to be more coastly.
First, green house gasses are a big part of the reson for global warming. Green houses also affect th ozone which could help to prevent it. Paris band driving because of how many people drive it started creating a smog and if that gets thick enough it could affect your respitory system. people who drive in countries where it was band they will be fine.
caust is a big part of beeing enviornmentaly friendly. I have a truck and it only gets about 18mpg which isnt that bad but my friends mom has a prius that gets like 40mpg and it can switch over to electricity. Cars with good fuel efficiency generaly are more expencive.
If people who have bikes ride them to say dinner once a week insted of driving they will save an amence amount of money just from not buying gas. Gas was just up to about $4.00 a gallon but now its at an all time low but we dont know when it will go back up. There are a tn of people in this world that are over waight and just walking like one a week could help.
To sum it all up, if every body just hepled out when they can the world can be a better place and maybe people can live longer. | 2 |
The Electoral College is unfair, outdated, and irration. Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president. The electoral 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 chance of winning, focusing only on the tight races in the "swing" states. Over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now. And yet, the electoral college still has its defenders.
The electoral college also has some good reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the president. In the 2012's election, obama received 61.7 percent of the electoral vote compared to only 51.3 percent of the popular votes. Obama won cause of the electoral college. Because almost all states award electoral votes on a winner-take-all basis, even a very slight plurality in a state creates a lanslide electoral-vote victory in that state. So one good reason is the certainty of outcome.
Also another awesome reason is that the electoral college requires a presidental candidate to have transregional appel. No regions has enogh electoral votes to elect a president, so the south cant elect a president that will do something in favor with the south only. The electoral college avoids the problem of elections in which no candidate receives a majority of the votes cast. it avoids run-off elections.
My final answer is that i argue in favor of the electoral college. It would be hard to let every single citizem chose, because some people dont think about others and what it is good for all, people only think about themselfs and what it is good for themself. Plus the even thogh the president will win no matter if he/she won the popular vote. The electoral votes think for the state and what is good for the people. | 1 |
What would life without cars be like? Cities throughout the world are practicing this idea, and seem to be doing fine without thier cars.
Cars are a great way of traveling from place to place. They are fast and time efficent but cars aren't the best for the environment, they cause polution,bad air,smog and global warming. The city of Paris has a partial driving ban becuase of the rise in smog they are experiencing. The ban was succeful in reducing the amount of smog and also alowed the puplic to use public trasportation free of charge. Now if more places started doing this air polution would decrease and we would have cleaner air to breath in and less health problems from smog.
In the city of Bogota, Colombia the residents have a car fee day each year. On this day Colombians hike, ride thier bikes, skate, or take buses and taxies to work. Doing this yearly activity has lowered traffic jams which allowed workers to get to work on time while they took buses or taxies. Not only were traffic jams reduced but people get to exercise and commute with others while the walk or ride thier bikes to thier disired distination. Limiting car use is not only good for lowering air polution and geting exercise, it's also good for bussines.
Vauban, Germany has been practicing this idea as well. They have a no car policy, if residents wish to have a car they have to buy a parking space from a parking lot. Having a parking lot allows kids to play outdoors without the worry of having to deal with cars. As people walk to places they want to be at, they may find stores where they can do some shoping. Store owners are now placing thier businesses along walk ways to atract customers as they walk by. Not only are businesses blooming so are parks and sport centers. The city Bogota have been building parks and sports centers as people are beginig to exercise more and are going outdoors.
Limiting car use can be great for the environment and for people. Cars have been in our lifes for long time now, but it doesn't hurt to walk from place to place or to enjoy a bike ride to work. | 2 |
Do you ever wonder if there is life on Mars? Many believe there is, but it has not been proven. NASA have been searching for the answer for years. On the Viking spacecraft 1, they spotted a shadowy likeness face of a human on Cydonia that went on for nearly two miles. But, how did it get there? Many believe Aliens, but really the face is just a natual landfrom.
To beginning with, there is no physical evdience to back it up. Scientist believed it was just another Martian Mesa. There common around Cydonia, and coencidently this shawdow looked like an Egyptian Pharaoh. When NASA soon sent the photo out to the public, the caption wrote "huge rock fromation ... which reembles a human head." If NASA believed that it was just a rock formation from the start, then why would it be Aliens once the public seen it?
Secondly,
the image was simply just a illusion. Our minds are able to turn anything we look at into a face, as long as if the items are in correct positon. Have you ever looked at the front of a vehicle and thought it was smiling? That was simply just a illusion. When the huge rock formation was seen, it simply was our mind thinking it looked a face, but it really wasn't.
Lastly, the rumors of it being Aliens did not begin until the photo was realesed to public eye. If NASA did not believe it was aliens then why would we? In that time period, NASA had not found life on mars and still have not. There is no water to show signs of life. When the media saw the photos of course they immediately will say Aliens. NASA simply, wanted peoples attention to go to Mars for funding. On April 5, 1998, when the Mars Global Surveyor flew over ,and took a better picture it was soon realized it was just a natural landform.
There is no proof that Aliens created the face on Cydonia. It was just a natural landfrom. Until NASA is able to find proof that it is aliens on Mars that it will just be a natural landform. The Alien theory was proved wrong by Mars Global Surveyor. NASA had lots of logical deails on why not it was not Aliens.The Egyptian face was just a natural landform. | 3 |
Luke Bomberger worked two part-time job at the grocey store and at the bank. Then his friend invited him to go to a Europe on a cattle boat. It was hard for him to say no but Luke said yes it was a opportunity of a lifetime.
World War 2 was over in the Europe,and many countrys were ruin. To help recover everything 44 Nations joined together to form UNRRA. The UNRRA hired the Seagoing Cowboys for they can take care of the horses,young cow,and mules were shipped oversea.
In August 1945, they had received their orders repoets from New Orleans. They had arrived on August 14 that's the day the Pacific war ended. Don and Lke boarded the ship the SS Charles W. Wooster, and then they headed to Greece. THe SS Charles also had a cargo of 335 horses plus enough hay and oat so they can eat.
Luke turned 18 before arriving in Greece.
It took about two weeks to criss the Atlantic Ocean from the east coast of the united states and the a month to get to china. Luke was really busy because caring for the animals during them crossing the ocean. Also he had to fed them and watered two or three times a day. Bales of hay and bages of oats had to be pulled up from the lower holds of the ship. And then he had to clen the Stalls.
On his second trip Luke had to served his night as a watchman. His job was to check on the animal every hour. On this one rainy night after making his hourly report to the captain he slid down a slippery ladder on his backside. Luke's heart was racing as he shot first toward an opening ont he side of the ship . A small strip of metal along the edged stopped his slid keeping him from flying forward overboard in the dark Atlantic. But he couldn't work for a couple of day because of his cracked ribs.
Luke also had fun on his trip because when the unloaded the animals the cowboys played basketball and volleyball. Also they played table-tennis tournament, fencing, and boxing.
But being a the Seagoing Cowboys was much more than an adventure for Luke Bomberger . It opened his world it was a greatful opportunitiy for him. It made him more aware of people of other countries and their needs. Alot of visitor came over the year to exchange the students to visit. | 0 |
The author describes how a new technology called, "The Facial Action Coding System," (FACS), enables computers to identify human emotions, by describing the software used at the University of Illinois. I believe this type of technology is a great way to read students' emotional expressions for not only educational use but for human interactions.
FACS would be put into great use of technology for students' due to the amount stress, and confussion students' may be recieving, while doing assignments or assessments. "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored." (6) This type of technology, could provide a tutor to appear on the screen, and help the student with anything they are in need of. "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." (6) This may also result in ways students may accumulate these skills during musicals or plays.
Another way FACS could be used, is for human interactions. This may be useful for: family matters, employment, interviews, meeting someone. "Eckman has classified six basic emotions-happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness-and then associated each with characteristic movements of the facial muscles." (3) This can help tell the person whether they are happy, sad, confused, dishonest, etc. and give the person a way to respond to the situation such as a lie. "To an expert, faces dont lie; these muscle clues are sometimes used to spot whena a "smiling" polotician or celebrity isn't being truthful." (8)
In concluding my arguement as to why I agree with the type of technology, FACS, are due to the use for educational purposes such, as being confused on a assignment or assessment, and the use for human interactions whether it is on employment, interviews, meeting someone, or family matters. | 2 |
We all know how great of an invention the car was. But believe it or not you dont need it as much as you think. It causes stress, polluted air and your just better off with out it.
Vauban, Germany- residents of this community have gone to where few people would ever dare to enter; a car free suburban area. Heidrun Walter, a media trainer and mother said "When I had a car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Living without a car can open up your eyes to the world like never before. You can bike ride on trails and paths to explore your city or suburb, just look at Columbia. They've also made changes to having no cars in their lives. They participate in their own car-free day. This day has now seen the construction of 118 miles of bicycle paths, the most of any Latin America city. Being car-free for Columbia also means rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic, and new resturants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up.
Furthermore, limitations on cars should be reduced because of the amount of greenhouse gases they cause which depletes our ozone layer and pollutes our air that we breath. Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of emissions of greenhouse gases in Europe, and about 50 percent is areas that cars are frequently used in the United States. But its not just the US, even in France car emissions are polluting the air. Paris, had 147 micrograms of particulate matter per cubic meter compared to 114 in brussels and 79.7 in London. The main reason banned driving was because of the near-record pollution in the air.
The smog was so bad that is rivaled with Beijing and China which are known as the most polluted cities in the world. | 1 |
I believe that studying Venus is worthy pursuit despite the dangers because its the closet planet to the Earth . NASA is thinking about sending human to study Venus . Wouldn't it be fun to go visit Venus ? Think about all the stuff you coud learn about like how warm it is , Whats there , and what made people start calling it
" Earth's twin ."
Because Venus is near the sun its very hot there . The temperature average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit , and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater then Earth . In Paragraph 3 it states " These conditions are far more extreme than anything human encounter on Earth ; such as environment would crush anything a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our pceans an would liquefy any metals . "
Venus is referred to as Earh's twin because its the closest planet to Earth in density , distance , and szie . Since , Venus is around the corner in space terms humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped world . An spaceship hasn't touched down on Venus o more than three decades .
See learning about Venus is very worthy despite the dangers . Its always great to learn about another planet . Especially the ones near us . | 1 |
Electoral college... what a compromise! the electoral college should be removed and replaced by the popular vote for the president because our votes don't really count and the electors are not always fair.
In the passage it had said "you help choose your state's electors when you vote for the president because when you vote for your candidate you are actually voting for your candidate electors." This means our votes are not really counting. The state electors are the ones who are actually selecting the president for us. Candidates don't spend time in states that they have no chance of winning. Putting the fate of presidency in the hands of a few swing votes is rediculous. The electoral college is irrational and doesn't show much of reality. Some people tend to lose interest in the president's because of the way they feel about their votes. Thoughtful voters should be the ones to decide the election and vote directly instead for representitives to do so. People have refused to vote for party candidates and wan't to cast a vote for whomever they please. There are over sixty percent of people that would perfer a direct election to the kind we have now.
Another reason why electoral college should get replaced is because it is not fair sometimes. "can voters control whom their electors vote for? not always. Do voters sometimes get confused about the electors and vote for the wrong candidate? sometimes." This is the disater factor, it is hardly expected to reflect on the will of the people. A large state gets more attention from presidential candidates in a campaign than small states do. At times a presidents can have more popular votes and the other less fewer electoral votes and the one with the popular votes lose and that only happened once. In run off elections if people know that their vote will not have an effect and think its unfair than they have less incentive to pay attention to any compaign than they would if the president were picked by popular votes. Potential voters will turn off the electoral method if they know a candidate has not hope of building up their state.
That is why electoral votes should be replaced with popular votes for the president because most of the time our votes do not count and it is unfair to us. | 3 |
Should driverless cars actually exist? They are some good and bad times about driverless cars. Also some things that are the same and different about the cars and people. Should the cars the driverless cars happen? My thoughts may make you go for or against the idea.
The good things about the driverless cars is that the cars will drive them selves in a safe speed and the cars would use half as much gas than taxis use, that would good for the enviroment and for the people. The smoke and gas from the cars wont harm the atmosphere or the ozone layer, also effecting the greenhouse effect. This helps humans so they dont have to spend so much money on gas and are able to buy more important things or things they just want. Another good thing is that it'll reduces accidents and drunk driivers.
The bad things sound worser than good, maybe because they are. The driverless cars would stop accidents caused by people, such as drunk drivers, but the driver would still be drunk or sense he or she doesn't need to drive will drink more and cause problems for their health or family. Of course people get in accidents to avoid things, such as animals, people, or objescts like ice, will the driverless car know how to react? The most the car can do is stop, what good will that do if the car was on ice. People might start thinking they dont need to focus on the task at hand, so they would start texting or eating, something that would distract them and when the car needs your helps and you aren't ready what happens. People might start using thge driverless cars for a worst purpose, such as gangs, the driver can shoot without worrying about driving, crime would go up.
How would laws change, can people be younger than 16 to drive now, do you need to know how to drive, should you know what signs mean or what lines mean or do. What about texting and driving or drinking and driving, would that be allowed now sense the car drives for it self. Do the passangers have to wear a seat belt. Whose fault would be for an accident, yours or the company of the car. If you would injuired because car turned to early or late, was it the fault of the car or you, what if you hit a person because car turned and didnt see the person to know to stop and kills or injurys that person. Would people or car be the fault of things.
The driverless car may seem like an amazing or smart idea, it really isn't manying things could go wrong and isn't much benefit but gas. The driverless car seems like a lazy persons way of not driving, or a drunk to drink more, or a teen to text. The risk is high and benifits are low.The driverless car should not be thing till the person is as smart as the car. | 4 |
In Vauban, Germany, citizens have made the decision to not use cars. To some people, this may be something that they could never imagine themselves doing, becuase it would make life more complicted. However, these people are pleased with their decision and would not have it any other way. Furthermore, there are many advatages to making this change. By limiting car usage, citizens can improve their own health and economic state.
By making the decision to stop using cars, one can become healthier, both mentally and physically. One citizen who has already taken this step said,"'When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way'" (Rosenthal 3). Many people who chose to limit their car usage, decided to walk or ride bikes instead. By chosing the alternative, they are less stressed. There is something soothing about walking down the road in a quiet and peaceful environment. Walking gives one time to reflect and think, while driving requires concentration and can be stressful. In addition to improving one's mental health, limiting car usage can also improve one's physical health. Pollution from the air can take a tolll on someone's physical health and the environment around them. "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe... and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States" (Rosenthal 5). Pollution poisions the air of most cities where people live and breathing the pollution is not healthy for an individual. In cities like Beijing, inhabitants wear air filters over their mouths in hopes fo escaping the pollution. Limiting car uage can help improve air quality quickly. For example, after having multiple days of intense smog, Paris decided to ban cars with even-numbered plates for one day. After this one day of limited car usage, "the smog cleared enough Monday for the ruling French party to rescind the ban for odd-numbered plates on Tuesday" (Duffer 19).
Another advantage to limiting cars is that it could mean economic improvememt for individuls and countries. The banning of cars can mean improvement in the appearance of cities, which can have positive impacts on the economy of cities. "Parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughout the city; unevem, pitted sidewalks have beeen replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks" (Selsky 28). These improvements in the city can draw more people to them and stimulate the economy in places that have had difficulty before. In addition, individuals can save money by carpooling, biking, walking, or using public transit as an alternative optopn to driving. During the 2013 rececession, people were forced to sell their cars due to lack of money. However, after they recovered from this, they decided not to return to car usage due to their content in the lifestyle they had chosen (Rosenthal 32)
In conclusion, limiting one's usage of cars can have only positive impacts on one's life. This decision can have lasting impacts one's happiness, the environment, and the economy. | 4 |
The driverless car seems like it would be a really cool invention, but seems like it could have some issues. The car would be moving somewhat out of your control especially if used as a public transportation vehicle. This would make the older generations worry about their kids and grandkids since they realize it could break down anytime anywhere.
The vehicle could easily be labled as dangerous since the text states, "Google has had cars that could drive independently under specific conditions since 2009. Their cars have driven more than half a million miles without a crash" 500,000 miles is good but you have to be under certain conditions. How good would the car work if you can't or live to far away to drive under these special conditions? The car might malfunction or go crazy, it could just simply blow up. Due to these statements this car could be labled dangerous.
The car could also be labled dangerous for its inability to pull in and out of driveways. This could be a hazard for the young kids who are just learning how to drive and think the car can do everything for them like Google makes it look like it can. Backing out of a driveway can be a very dangerous action to accomplish because if there are obstacles blocking the view of the road you can not see cars going past you.
The car can also be a dangerous vehicle because if you are driving and get drowsy or something with nobody else in the car with you, you could run right through a construction site. This is obviously a big concern for a lot of people because a construction site can have many hazardous tools that could kill you instantly even with protection of a car. Its a dangerous car for you and also the people around yo. If someone else on the road wasn't in an automatic driverless car and made a mistake you wouldnt have the chance to dodge the other driver to save yourself you guys would both just crash.
Driverless cars can be very helpful, but overall i see them as death traps. They could take peoples lives over a simple mistake like a malfunction. I would not drive a driverless car or allow my kids to drive one due to safety concerns and lack of control. Afterall those movies with driverless cars often end bad any way. | 2 |
The use of the technolodgy to determine if you are happy or not is very valuable. The device can help with many things student have problems with. The people would use the device to even improve upon things they would deal with. Overall the FACS (Facial Asction Coding System) would be more of a help if looked upon the right way. It will help teachers and guidance counselors, help so students will know what to say, even just help like how to improve upon just getting along.
First off, Guidance counselors can use the machine for many things. If people were sad of angry they can help out more effectively if the counselor not sure on how the person feels. Since the passage said that," By weighting different units, the software can even identify mixed feelings." This means if they were overall sad counselors can help or if they were more angry. Teachers can use this to figure out if the student wants to be bothered or not that day so they will not call on them.
Next situation the FACS can be useful for if just student to student conversation. Some students may have a hard time trying to make friends if they do not know how other students feel. Some can be really angry or others just too sad to be talked to. Even the passage supports this by saying that," You can probably tell how a friend is feeling by the look on her face. Of course, most of us have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy." So using the machine will help in describing if the person is having one emotion more than other emotions.
Thirdly the machine would just be a overall improvement for getting along. If people could understand how someone else felt would they just be able to connect with them better. People could have empathy for others because they knew how they feel and it would help improve upon that other person feelings. People could then cheer them up to make them smile and that smile might put them in a better mood. The passage also stated this by saying,"According to the Facial Feedback Theory of Emotion, moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but may also help produce them." So understanding how someone may feel and make them happy can just make the overall feeling of the enviroment feel good.
Finally to just state if it a good idea to have a machine like this then its a obviously yes. Since they positive effects on people can help like students having a hard time and people will know what they are feeling. The boost of happiness of people would also take place in the area. There might even be less chances of fighting if someone angry and someone can finally know if they were and calm them down if they could. So a machine that determines how someone feels is very valuable even in just everday uses. | 3 |
A vast majority of people who have seen "The Face on Mars" belive that it was created by aliens.
This cannot be true because there is too much evidence to disprove this conspiracy theory.
The Face on Mars was not created by aliens because it, in fact, does not even resemble a face, and there are many others like it on Mars.
There is too little evidence supporting that it was created by aliens, but there is pleanty of evidence that supports the fact that it is just another rock formation on Mars.
One example of this evidence is that The Face doesn't look like a face at all.
In the passage "Unmasking the Face on Mars" is states that the picture taken in 2001 of the eleged face "actually shows the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa."
In the 2001 image taken by MSG (Mars Global Surveyor) you can clearly see the large rock formation that is present on Mars surface.
It very clearly shows that it is not a face created by ancient aliens.
Some strong belivers in the theory that think it was created by aliens state that NASA is covering up the truth and not telling the public the truth about the Face.
This however just would not make any sense.
If there was an ancient civilization out there on Mars NASA would want to make it public because this would benifit them.
They would be funded by the government to study the artifacts or maybe even lifeforms out there.
In "Unmasking the Face on Mars" it states that "the defenders of the NASA budget wish ther was an acient civilization on Mars."
Not telling the public about alien civilizations just would not be a smart move on NASA's part.
This wouldn't be the first time NASA has found a huge rock formation on Mars surface.
Scientists have come across a massive amounts of rock formations in the time they have been exploring Mars.
This is just another one of those cases.
When NASA released the picture of the Face to the public in the caption they noted a "huge rock formation... which resembles a human head." (NASA)
NASA never did mean for the Face to be hugely popular and for theories of it being an acient civilization.
It probably never crossed their mind that theories this preposturous would appear.
They just wanted to draw attention to Mars and the space program.
There are a large number of rock formations on Mars and this was just another one of those boring old rocks. The face just goes to show how people are fantastic at blowing things out of proportion.
These formations cannot and were not built by an alien civilization.
There just is not enough evidence supporting the fact that it isnt just a mesa or butte like here on Earth. | 3 |
When you go out in the streets have you ever seen a driverless car? Are you safe with letting your children in the streets knowing there is a car with no need of a driver to drive it? well , i dont argue with driverless cars. Why would anyone want a driveless car that still needs a driver?
One of the reasons for not agreeing with the driverless car is safety. Safety is a big part the world and specially in the streets. There really is no need for driverless cars because in the paragragh it says " In fact, none of the cars developed so far are completely driverless " The human driver must remain alert an be ready to take over when the situation requires. If its a driverless car we dont need to pay attention because it would be driving on it own. Yet, the car still needs our help in situations it can't do it self.
Also, it says in the paragraph " Most driving laws focus on keeping drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe, and lawmakers know that safety is best achieved with alert driver." So, when driving a driverless car you dont have to steer, accelerate, and brake. But you have to still pay attention. Driverless cars should not be allowed in the streets, An malfunction can happen at any second on the road an whos to blame? The driver or the driverless car? "The psychological aspects of automation are really a challenge," admits Dr. Werner HUber, a BMW project manager driver. Theres always gonna be a challenge but we dont need more of a challenge when something isnt working in our driverless car.
Lastly, Traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times. Which mean driverless cars are not safe, i mean not all cars are safe but really think about it , would you want you child out in the streets knowing the law is letting driverless car drive around? Because i know my children wouldnt be out. As a result , in most states it is illegal even to tesr computer driven cars. California, Nevada, Florida, and the District of Columbia have led the country in allowing limited use of semi-autonomous cars. Manufacturers believe that more states will follow as soon as the cars are proved more reliably safe. 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?
My conclusion is that driverless cars should not be allowed on the streets because of safety reasons , and failures on streets. Nobody knows when, where, and at what time an accident can happen due to driverless cars. All cars always needs to be driven by a human not a computer. Laws are made for human drivers not computers. | 2 |
Being able to calculate if someone is happy or sad is not valuable. People themselve should be able to tell if someone is happy or sad even if they are covering it up. Dr. Eckman is able to detect if someone is happy or sad without FACS ( Facial Action Coding System). You can detect someone's emotions by the way they are acting.
Even without the new technology that the doctors invented to detect your emotions people should be able to tell if someone if happy, sad, etc. People should be able to tell if they are sad when they arent talking as much as they used to or mad when they have a bad attitude. They could tell when their happy when they are acting normal and laughing at jokes. Also your mostly with the people that you know the best so you should be able to tell their emotions.
Dr. Paul Eckman, the creator of FACS, is able to detect someones emotions without his new system. If Dr. Eckman could teach people how to detect someone's emotions then it would spread across the world then nobody would need the new system. When Dr. Eckman told us to look in the mirror and do the three steps he provided he was teaching us how to detect if someone is happy. Dr. Eckman created something that could be easily taught to people around the world. If people are able to be taught what FACS could do then therefor you do not need FACS.
Many people all around the world mostly are only with people that they really know personally. You should be able to detect how someone close to you is feeling be how they are acting. If they are not acting normal they obviously something is wrong, so now you need to find out what is wrong. They could detect if they are sad if they are not talking a lot and moslty just sitting around. If they are mad you could just look at their facial expressions when you tell them something and be able to tell if they are mad. So you should easily be able to detect the mood of somebody be the way they are acting.
The FACS that Dr. Eckman created is most likely expesive to make and install, also could talk alot of time. So if he would just teach people how to detect peoples different emotions by their facial expressions they he could be saving a lot of time and money. Once Dr. Eckman has taught people then people will then begin to teach other people, which then would lead to nobody needing the FACS. | 3 |
Luke Bomberger was living a normal life till his friend Don Reist asked if he wanted to go to Europe on a cattle boat. Luke couldn't say no to that once in a lifetime opportunity! It's World War II in Europe and many countrys are in ruins. They need help taking care of their animals and shiping them over seas. Luke and Don signed up. "We arrived August 14," Luke said. They where traveling over the Pacific ocean and going to Greece with 335 horses and food for them. Luke turned 18 before they got there and wanted to sign up for tthe military service. "By the time be was discharged in 1947, Luke had made nine trips, the most of the Seagoing Cowboys." Luke loved this new life of cattle-boat trips and helping people. On his free time be would explore Europe even more. It took him 2 weeks to cross the Atlantic Ocean from the United States and then a month to get to China. Caring for the animals kept Luke busy and they where fed and watered two or tree times a day, and stalls had to be cleaned. Luke has had some training on Katie's farm as a small boy and helped him where he is now. "Luke also found time to have fun on board." Luke said. There is many things to do on the ship such as baseball, vollyball and table-tennis. Luke did Seagoing Cowboys for many year later and loved every bit of it. | 0 |
People seem to think that the rock on mars was created by aliens but sienctist disagree. At first scientists figured that the face was just nother martian mesa, common enough around cydonia, only this one had unusaul shadows that made it look like an egyptian pharaoh. In the article it states that a couple of days later they saw the huge rock formation which looked like a humans head but really it was the form of the shadowns that created the rock looked like it had eyes, nose, and even a mouth. The rock was not created by aliens it just was a formation of the rock and diifrent shadows but lots of people seem to like it. Scientists know that the rock really was just made like this and know aliens did not create this this rock. But some people believe other things on how this rock some how looks like a face.
Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing . . . a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all. But there were people who still believed that aliens did this and that the camera on board MGS had to peer through wispy clouds to see the Face. Perhaps, said skeptics, alien markings were hidden by haze. | 1 |
Dear State Senator ,
The idea of a Electoral College sounds great at first. In all reality you have to look at the facts. People of the United States should choose who they want to for president. Only having a few hundered out of the billions of people doesnt really seem fair to everyone's opinion, I agree that not everyone's opinion is satisfactory to others.
Each candidate running for President in a certain state has their own group of electors. These electors are chosen by the political party of those candidates running. The state laws get involved by only selecting electors by their responsiblilities. So this means not every elector is involved with the process.
We voters help choose our state's electors when we vote for President. When we vote for the person of our choice we are really choosing the electors in that candidate's political party. The "winner-take-all" system used in most states, gives the electors to the winning presidential candidate. this system is used in all states except Nebraska and Maine which have the variation of "proportional repesentation." The number of electors chosen for your vote will representing your chosen candidate.
Again with the fact of having a Electoral College, the people are not really voting for the President, they are voting for a slate of electors. Then they in turn elect president.
If you lived in Texas, for instance, and wanted to vote for John Kerry, you'd vote for 34 Democratic electors for Kerry. Off chance that those 34 electors won statewide, they would go to Congress and Kerry would in return get 34 electoral votes. These electors can be anyone not holding publice office. Electors have their own opinion rights as well.
Our votes dont always control who the elctors vote for. This causes confusion and arguements that it is unfair in the Electoral College's ways that the people are not always voting for their president because they are giving a slight chance for electors to change that vote.
Popular vote allows the people of the United States to choose what out of the majority is best for the United State's Presidential candidate. Unlike the rules and rights of the Electoral College, the popular vote allows the voters a absolute vote. Everyone's thoughts are put in concideration instead only 270 people out of like I said billions(and growing) population.
The facts show that popular vote in the long-run will be better for the United State's state of government than Electoral College. Electoral College is unfair, outdated, and irrational. We should abolish the electoral college.
With Concideration,
A United State's citizen | 2 |
In the year 2032, and a new product is talked about all around the world: in homes, buisnesses, schools, and churches. For several days, many people gabble about the aspects of a car that drives itself and is safer than most cars with excitement and jauntiness.
For many people, this anecdote is the ideal future and one that will hopefully happen soon. Development of automated cars should be funded and researched more thoroughly because automated cars make roads safer, are more luxurious for the passenger, and are not completly driverless.
In "Driverless Cars are Coming", the author states "Google has had cars tha could drive independently under specific conditions since 2009. Their cars have driven more than half a million miles without a crash". Because of this fact, cars are safer. Automated cars have radars, and sensors all around them to know where the cars are at any given time. this includes the LIDAR which creates a 3D model of its surroundings, making the entire experience safer and causing less deaths each year. in 2013, BMW developed a car which can go up to twenty five miles per hour if the driver keeps his or her hands on the steering wheel, adding to the safety features on these new cars.
Another reason why these cars are fundable and should be reashered more is the fact that the new car rides would be more fun for the passengers. For example, these cars would have displays that let people watch movies and play video games. The moniters turn off when danger is afoot, which adds to the safety features on the new automated car.
For people who are still worried that the cars will be unsafe because a computer can't decide what a human can and can't perform complex actions, do not fear. Automated cars will not be devoid of human interaction. According to paragraph seven of "Driverless Cars are Coming", "None of the cars developed so far are completely driverless. They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are deesigned to notify the river when the road ahead requires human skills."
The new cars have also been designed to warn passengers to oncoming dangers by vibrating, speaking, or flashing lights when danger in near by. GM has developed a car which vibrates a driver's seat if his or her car is going to his an object behind them. This creates a car to human relationship that insures cars on the road are safer and cause less deaths per year.
In conlusion, automated cars are the future. They are safer, more relaxing, and are not completely automated. The future is looking bright for thse new cars. People should expect new and exciting cars to not drive in the near future. | 4 |
Limiting car usage has many advantages, from saving money, from helping save the planet. We spend tons and tons of dollars on a simple fossil fuel just so we can get around. Although, having a car may be nice, but also you may need to think about the long term consequences that are yet to come. For example, driving around while fun, is dangerous, you are facing the threats of drunk drivers, people not paying attention or something in general going wonky with your car, or how incredibly expensive cars are, you must buy the gas fill it up almost every two days, you will have to pay for any damages and also for the tune ups. Cars arent just expensive but they also do loads of damage to the environment. Cars, create fumes that are let out into the atmosphere that contributes to global warming. Sure, it may be nice to fdrive a big bubba truck with huge tires, some smoke stacks and to be able to "roll coal" but also think about what that does to the earth, it helps melt glaciers causing polar bears to be hot and hungry.
Driving a car may be convenient, but when something is convenient something else has to suffer. This something else would be the environent, there is less and less clean air for us to breathe, everything is getting hotter and everyone is suffering. Smog is one of the most relavent and visible issues, especially in bigger cities. Smog is a mixture of smoke, and fog, this smoke coming from vehicles and mostly factories. Going into a major city like New York City may be fun but while your there look around and notice the thick layer of smog. You are breathing all of that through out your body. While New York City may not be the smoggiest city around such as Beijing (Source 2: Paris bans driving due to smog, Line 14) but it is still an on going issue everywhere.
All in all, leaving your car at home and taking a bike to work instead can have many health benefits but also many environmental benifits, so next time you think about bringing your car to work, think of the polar bears and the future of the environment. | 3 |
The computer software which has been invented is to test the emotion of people. But it is not really a good way to test people like that. If you want to understand the people's thinking when they have a emotion, why don't you learn ecycology?
The program tested Mona Lisa's smile and the result said "83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted..." If I'm an artist, I painted a character which is really beautiful, but I just make that character's emotion really happy, and wants to shows the audience it's a beautiful girls with a joyful face. When the computer software test the emotions of my character and shows these results, I will be really disappointed at these results --- It's way more too acurately! It can ruined one artist or someone else's life.
The computer learned things way more faster than us, "all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles" From FACS, the program will detected the six basic motions: happiness, suprise, anger, disgust, fear and sadness. Well, that's not going to be accurate, from the example, "your frontalis pars lateralis muscle (above your eyes) raises your eyebrows when you're surprised", this surprise emotion is just an opinion of the creator Dr. Paul Eckman. I can be tired and showing that emotion too. When the computer is testing the students in the class, there are so many emotions in the class, but even they express their emotion, it's still not fair enough to prove what thoughts do they have. "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored", at this point, the computer is testing everyone's emotion. But remember, study is not fun, normally that you will get bored. If someone have a happy face in the classroom, that means he is "crazy" or distracted by other stuff. So it's useless to testing the student's emotions in the class.
Indeed, the ecycology is better than the program. We can looks through other peoples emotion by our eyes and communicate with them, you will still understand their emotion, because we have our brain to calculate. The article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" mentioned "we humans perform ths same impressive 'calculation' everyday", and than give an example to inform the human calculation more precisly. Even though it's a concession, it still shows it's not necessary to use this kind of tecnology to predict people's emotions.
In addtion, the computer which created by man is still from the human knowledgement, or human "data base", which is brain. But it can be limited the testing area, like the emotion that predict wrong. Altough it can test through the muscle changing, It still cannot prove the true feeling of the human. The reason why we have ecycology this courses because people's brain is way more better than the computer. Computer is fast, but it based on human knowledge, also use there is no way to creat a perfect program --- everyone has different opinion to the creator of the program. So it's not really valuable to use this kind of tecnology to read student's emotional expressions. | 2 |
