The Electoral College has been kept for centuries, established by the founding fathers and established in the Constitution.  I think that the process should be maintained; so far, it has worked fine and I do not see any reason to rid of it.  The Electoral College should be continued in use because there are at least fi...

The use of technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classrom is valuable. The technology would help to see what a student is feeling.

The author struggles to explain the advantages of what will happen if NASA explores Venus. It is close to impossible with the technology out right now for NASA to be able to explore Venus.

The "face on Mars" is not a face at all. The shadows cause this landformation to appear to have a mouth, nose, and eyes. In the 2001 photo it was summer, so there was no shadows to cast the facial features as in the 1976 photo. If Nasa really discovered life on Mars they would tell the public because it would be a huge...

I think the Facial Action Coding System can bring some help into classrooms. Most students, like myself, get bored when working on the computer.
