If I'm imaging myself to be a scientist at NASA dicussing the FACE with someone who thinks it was created by aliens because why would the moon have faces on it and plus humans can't be out in outter space without an space suit beacuse they can die within seconds.
And if I have some scientist partners that trust me and believe what I'm saying because anything or anyone could of done this for fun..
It just takes time to figure out whats going on, on the moon. And figure out that something has to doing this and make it look like us people/scientist at NASA look crazy. By saying that there's a FACE on the moon. Who wants to believe that soemone has made a FACE on the moon by these past years. But I know we people/scientist of NASA will figure out what it might be causing these marks/ FACE's on the moon. And no one can say anything about whats happening beacuse they don't know the truth and how do we know or donn't know that if someone is trying to make us look stupid and make it look like something or someone has been on that moon marking it?
One of the things is that I'm still kinda confused on is how or what could of done this and why? Why would somebody or something do this to our moon? And if they did it to our moon to just mess around and make fun of us for thinking that it was something real or "ALIENS" that I don't believe in for some reason. But i just don't think it could be aliens beacuse they are not real. Plus I've seen a real and real evidence from the internet or anywhere else and there's no proof.
And another reason why I think that it couldn't be anything alive is that they couldn't survive a "second" out in space. And maybe it could've been the moon itself. What I mean by that is that the moon can just form it itself and created just a peron FACE or just have been something else that no one could or would ever identify. Even if they try so hard to do. It still wouldn't work. Maybe it's just how the landform just creates in space. Like maybe the other plantes have something in coomon and do the same thing but no one could ever notice. | 0 |
Have you ever thought about participating in the Seagoing Cowboys program? It's every fun, it allowed me to go on adventures and vist unique places like Greece, Venice, Italy, and I even toured an excavated castle in Crete and marveled at the Panama Canal on my way to China. There are also others things to do besides go to different places when you participate in the Seagoing Cowboys program. Even though you get free time there is also work to do. When my friend Don Reist invited me to go to Europe on a cattle boat I just couldn't say no, I knew it was going to be an opportunity of a lifetime. Let me give you some reason on why you should join.
Like i said before there are others things you have to do when participating in the Seagoing Cowboys program. One thing is you have to take care animals. Everytime I found it fun taking care of the animals, especially on when I returned from trips and the animals had been unloaded. There were different types of animals on board like horses, young cows, and mules that were shipped oversea. Once there was even a cargo with 335 horses plus enough hay and oats to feed them.
My next reason is you also get to play games on the ship. The cowboys and I played baseball, volleyball games, table-tennis, fencing, boxing, reading, and whittling. These games helped us pass time when we didnt have work to do. Sometimes we would even play games in the empty holds where animals had been housed. We would even have different types of tournaments.
The most important and my last reason is that while in the Seagoing Cowboys we had to help different people with things. We had to help them with animals, food, and we had to help on the ship. There were many things we had to do on the ship like be watchmen, check the animals every hour, and make an hourly report to the captain. There is a lot of work you have to put in into being a Seagoing Cowboys even if you do get hurt. But it will be all worth it in the end.
I hope you decide to become a Seagoing Cowboy. It was very fun for me, so if i had fun being one then I feel like you will to. You will have a lot of fun trust me. | 2 |
Driverless Cars Are Coming!
Think of all the movies you seen about cars driving by themselves, well they're becoming real. I actually like the fact they're making driverless cars, just like at the beginning of the article, imagine a new future full of technology. By 2030 they'd probably have robots cooking home meals, and tubes passing through out the sky and connected to other tubes for transportation. People wouldn't have to use so much money spending on gas trying to fill their cars up.
Today's world we have better technology where these driverless cars are getting better. There are cars with the ability to start up without an key, just push a buttion. We have cars now that knows when a accident is about to occur, or when an padestrian is near. Imagine driving in your car, and you take your eyes off the road for just a second and a child is in the middle of the street. Driverless cars will break itself and prevent injury to you and the child. Even for emergency vehicles or construction work, it will alert you that it's near. Some cars have self parking, meaning you could get out your car and watch it park itself just by hitting a button. Without hitting other cars, reversing on it's on, and even controlling the headlights if it was to park into a place somewhere dark. It's amazing what our future is becoming!
I believe they have a car that could drive itself. Say you're going on a roadtrip, and the vacation spot takes 24 hours to get there. Your car would drive to that destination while you rest. If your driverless car sees a human, animal, or object in front it will stop it self, there's sensors all over the car to detect that. Some driverless cars have cameras, you would be able to see your blindspot if you were driving. If you wanted to back up into a spot put couldn't see, they will turn on the camera video and you could watch how close you get to an object. These cars even make loud noises or make your seat vibrate to alert you of being to close. If you have a text or call come in, instead of taking your eyes off the road to reach for your phone, they have voice command where you can say "answer imcoming call" or many other things. There have been over a million car accidents caused by the drivers or even the car itself, but with the driverless car your safety is garenteed. The driverless cars are much safer for the driver, passengers, and even the outsiders. This is why I'm not against the development of these cars. | 3 |
"All of our developement since world war II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change" Said David Goldberg. Nowadays Cars are our main Source when it comes to transportation.
Limiting your car usage should absolutely be more important in todays society. It's Plently of things going on around us that most are unaware about, And limiting your car usage can be one thing to start helping to prevent these issues. Most cars give off alot of Pollution in the cities you live in an that effects animals. For example: The oil spill was a major problem in the ocean and that killed alot of animals an Demolished most of the sea life environmental foodchains. The capital of France had an intensifying amount of smog, but car traffic tended to decreased 60% after 5 days. Beijing China was known as the most polluted cities in the world. Diesel Fuel was the blame. You could even try those cars that dont require gas so the cities could be less polluted, But theres disadvantages to those cars as well.
At one point of time gas prices were sky high and people weren't really satisfied with it. Now Gas prices have decreased an people are even more satisfied an happy to get gas. Saving up on gas would help out alot to in todays world as well. How? Because Everything in life has a Big Fat Price tag on it so to help save up to get better things or things you need you can probably go for not paying for Gas as much. Everyday around 5:00 or 5:30 there's something called 5:00 traffic. When everyone is just about getting off work, headed to night school, going to the store, or whatever the case may be. This is the craziest time of the day to drive an your just ready to get home an dont feel like dealing with traffic.... you can take the City bus, Subway, or maybe even walk if its not far. Some people may call you crazy but it reduces the amount of money being spent on gas. its only maybe like 10cents to ride the city bus i believe...But the point is your saving money. Then by the time you finally decide "Oh i would like to drive my car" your tank would be full cause you havent been driving it so you wouldnt have to stop for gas. The Environmental Protection Agency is promoting " Car Reduced" Communities, and Legislators are starting to act. Many Experts expect public transportation to play a Larger Role in a new 6 year federal transportation bill approved this year, Said Mr. Goldberg. Walking isnt always quite bad. Look on the bright side your Burning Calories, shedding pounds, and if you run your building you Endurance. Instead of having to drive to a gym far away walk to a nearest one an have a pre workout by jogging or running there. Same thing applies to Bicycling.
Nowadays since majority of the United States own cars Traffic is horrible at certain hours of the day. Most people are too impatient for the wait or become aggressive drivers which is most likely to cause accidents. Maybe your ready to get home after a horrible day or your really tired from work an you realize your about to run into 5:00 Traffic an it'll be forever until you finally get home. If taking the City Buses or subways you won't have to deal with all that pressure. On a City bus you can just have a seat chit chat with other people as they hop on or just relax until you get to your destination. If your really tired you could just tell someone to wake you up when its time to. At least it'll be better then you being behind the wheel. If your workplace is Walking or Bicycling distance then you should feel even better to just scroll past all the people having to deal with the traffic. "Its 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.
Fellow Citizens should understand the Advantages of limiting their car usage because of the Pollution, To Save up on gas, and Less stress to deal with Traffic. Maybe one day cities would take more action an save up on gas for these reasons. | 3 |
Driverless cars on coming soon, and most people aren't worried or see the danger of any of this. To have many self driving cars on the street is dangerous and unless the cars have been tested and are fully operational with no common errors or bugs.
Before creating driverless cars, it is very important that they have been vigerously tested and confirmed to be safe. Regulations in most states state that it is illegal to test the computer-driven cars. Safty is a huge factor in deciding weather or not the driverless cars should be everywhere on the street, however they won't be "everywhere" for a while. The technology is well known to be expensive, but this can still be at a great risk.
Google's self driving cars are still in development, but recently in the last few months they've gotten into wrecks, and in one case, hit a man on camera, however he is fine now. A situation like that scared a lot of people and changed their mind on these cars. Whether or not the car was still in development doesn't matter, what matters is that these self-driven cars have the ability to do this damage. This isn't even my greatest fear about these cars yet.
Buying a self-driven car has what benifits? Bragging rights? It's a two-hundred thousand early adopter fee, because it's very enforced that you don't fall asleep even if your car is driving for you. The driver still needs to pay attention to the road because at a time that the car doesn't know what to do next, as it goes onto an unmapped road in it's data base, it will alert the driver to take over. In a similar case, the system fails, because computers fail everyday, the driver is not paying attention because his new car can drive by itself, then the system fails as the car is going sixty miles per hour on a road with many other cars. Accidnets can occur if the driver believes that their new car can do everything by itself.
My main issue with these cars is what if someone hacks your car? It sounds silly and far fetched at first, but it has already happened. Some kids in their parent's basement decided to hack a car, just to see if they could, and they sucsessfully did. There was a bug in the software of a particular, non self-driving car, took control of the steering and disaled the breaks. If this can happen to human-driven car, then the odds of this happening to a fully computer operated vehicle will be more copious. If some kids had the ability to do this, imagine all of the car crashes and injuries that could occur if many or most cars on the street were self-driven.
The rise of self-driving cars is a bad idea, it's going to happen, many companies are working hard to be the first, and there is money to be made. There are a lot of problems that rise up with cars that drive themselves, being the drivers themselves not paying attention, the computer shutting down, malfunctioning, or being hacked. There is too much risk in a rise of this caliber. | 4 |
In the article it says that it is a rock formation and the shadows create an illusion to the eyes. Mars is made of rock, dirt and other things. If you look at it today you will see a few landforms and few flat surfaces. From what I know mars has sandstorms. Their may have been a sandstorm a few days before that created this landform. If you look closely at the image dents, cracks and dust maybe sand. it happens here on earth, out in the desert. It has sandstorms and afterwards you have this pile of dust and dobre that creates this moutin or hill.
In '76 you couldnt tell as time went on better camera quality and better technolagy. In the picture tooken in '98 the top of it the point were further out and compare that to the 2001 image and it looks as if it had been reshaped or knoked off. Their was a sandstorm since '98 and now you get this diffrent image. you would know it if you had taken a better look at it. | 0 |
Luke's particapation in the seagoing cowboys program allowed him to experience adventure and visit many unique places. luke visited very unique places like China,Italy,Europe, and even Greece. In the text it says that luke knew it was the oppertunity of a lifetime. This evidence proves that in the program seagoing cowboys Luke was visiting many unique places. In conclusion, people like Luke can help change the world and have fun while doing it.
Luke joined the program because he wanted to help other countries recover there food supply and animals. i know this because the text says he cared for animals which is what kept him busy. This evidence proves that luke is very caring. The text also states that he slipped down the ladder and broke his rids. This evidence proves that he was still caring even though he cracked his rib because he still was helping feed them and help them as much as he could. One of the last reasons why that seagoing cowboys place allowed him to visit unique places is because he got to go to China ,Greece,Italy, and Europe. How many people do you know that can do that on a daily basis. In conclusion,luke is a very hardworking person and he deserves whatever comes to him.
In conclusion, Luke is very hardworking. Luke is also very brave and couragous. Luke is very dedicated to what he does. All of this evidence proves that the seagoing cowboys place can go a long way. I wish more people in life were more like him and then we would know peace. | 1 |
won't it be so cool to have a car that drives itself. In "Driverless Cars Are Coming"
the author talks about cars that will drive theirselves. i do believe it will be cool to have cars that will drive thierself, but they are unsafe.
the car can hit the breaks by theirselves and drive you to where you want to go. the car will be creaper on gas and will help our world to not die. that's not all, just think about all of the jobs taht the united States can have, if we build the cars here. the driver of the car will have something to noticify them if there is danger up ahead. also there will be least accident with droke driviers.
however, there is a bad slide to the driving cars. the car can't drive in construction sites and accident. also if you get hurt in a car wrack the driver driving at the time could be sued. the company that made the car will not take full responiblity for your car wrack. plus the car will cost so much in inscurate and buying the car itself. the families buy it will go broke. also, how can they tell when someone is in front of them? the united state is very lazy, why will we get cars to help us with our laziest?
in the "diverless cars are coming", it talks about self driving cars. the Cars will help people get jobs, if made in the united states. but the cars are not safe to drive in an accident or working site. the self driving car will be cool but their is a bad slide to them. i am in the medium with the self driving cars. | 1 |
When the author talks about Venus he talks about how it is and what it is like and how it works. Venus is different from Earth but it is the same in some way. It is differnt because of the tempurature and the atmosphere and the surface. The tempurature reaches up to 800 degrees fahrenheit and that is unsurvivable for humans. The surface is bad to it is a hot lava and molten like suface and it can melt most metals. Venuses atmosphere is mainly filled with 97 percent of carbon dioxide. The air pressure is really bad it is strong enough it could crush a submarine like its going down to the deepest part of our oceans. NASA is trying to come up with a way to study Venus with a blimp like vehicle that can float 30 miles up away from Venus and its nasty surface and atmosphere. Even though the tempurature will reach only 170 degrees fahrenhite it is still survivable for humans. | 0 |
This is a natural land form and i'm here to tell you why. Its a landform becasue 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 time sharper than the original Viking photo. After reavealing. . . a natural landfrm, there was no alien monument after all. Another reason why I know it's just a land form because, when NASA actually gets a sceond look at the picture, it actually shows it is equivalent to a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American West. Garvin said it reminded him from the Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho. The shadows gave the the illusion of the eyes nose, and mouth. so, it wasnt really facial features it just was the shadows making it seem like it. In conclusion, thats why I know its not a face those couple of reasons and It would have not been able to be showing that clearly, unless that incident happened recently. | 1 |
The author of the story "The challange exploring Venus" poorly support his claim that we should look into exploring Venus. He does not proparly compare a list of other options and does not examine in detail the dangers of these illogical actions.
Although the thought of exploring Venus the "Evening Star" sounds fun, the author does not realisticly support this idea. He claims that NASA has considered sending humans above the planets harsh terrain in a blimp like vehichle in order to aviod the storms. The idea sounds great until considering that, "reasearchers cannot take samples". In other words even if NASA manages to send humans to Venus through this method reasearchs still wouldn't be able to find anything worth studying. The author does not take into account the irrational sense this would make neither does he consider what will happen if something goes haywire, the power runs out, or if the storms and clouds rose higher.
In addition the author also presents the idea that electronics that NASA has tested in Venus' condition have lasted three weeks before giving out. Therefore it is infered that humans can simply use advanced technology in order to study Venus. The authors reasoning is more realistic in pointing this out, however the author unfortantly has not considered any other planets. The size and structure of Venus is close to Earth, as stated "Venus is the closest planet to earth in terms of density and size". He includes this key detail in order to claim that maybe one day Venus might be "survivable for humans". However the author fails to consider or even mention any other planets and their climates, he does not consider any other options such as Mars. Because even is Venus' size and shape are similar its climate is not. In addition if Venus is the best option he does not show readers why through a series of comparisons which greatly diminishes the article.
Despite the authors attemps at persuading readers that the pursuit of Venus is worth the risk he doesn't consider the facts dangers and holes in the attempt theories. The author does not seem to consider the cliamate change in Venus, neither does he mention the possiblity of other planets. After all what would be the point of traveling through Venus and later realizing that there was a better option. Although the author would like our travels to be guided by "imagination and innovation" they only work if govern by a clear plan and logical thinking. Both of which the are unfortanatly lacking which gives weak support to his ideas. | 3 |
Dear Floridas state senator, I am righting this letter to tell you about why I think that we should ude the popular vote for the president of the United State. I have three main resons i would like to touch up on. It will give the poeple of the United States the chance to say who they want in the congree and say who we wnt to be our presedent. The Electoral College is not a democratic way of handleing it. But on the down side it can make things very unorganized, having us worry about every little person we have to put into congress.
In the United States we are a eaqual and fair contry, but with the Electoral College it does not us, the people of our fine nation the one to elect our presadent. It does not give us the freedom of making our own choices n who want to run our contry. But if we use the popular vote for the presadent of the united states it lets us, the people choose. It lets us the poeple the right to use our own opion and our own thought on who should run this country. Every person in this cutry has a voivce they do and they should be able to speak with thier voice.
If we use the Electoral Colledege it is not democratic. It does not let us the people choose. The Electoral Colledge baseecely sees that the citizens of our contrys opions do not matter. They are saying that the Electoral Colledges votes matter the most those are the only once we are worrying about. But thats not true our opion does matter, we are what make up this amazing cuntry not just the Electoral Colledge.
But you see there is up side to using the Electoral Colledge. It can keep us organized and what i mean by that is it will help the pople know who exactly all comes with the vote of the presedent. It also makes it alot esier to just vote for one group instead of voting for all 34 people. It will keep the people from accsadentaly voting for the wrong group. It will help the poeple make there desion on what they think best and not hat they have been told is the best choice.
The popoular vote for presadent is the best way to go. It gives the pople a voice and the Ellectoral Colledge isnt democratic. But the Electoral Colledge keep us, the people organized and helps us make the right decition. | 2 |
I think the face is just a natural landform. I think the face is just a natural landform because a shadow can appear and make the rock look like it has a face, scientist have no proof that aliens excist, and the camera can't always take a good shot of the face.
First, the face is just a landform because a shadow coulod have appeared and make the rock look like it has a face. In paragraph 2 it say only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh. This indicates that the shadow on the rock can make unusual apperance. Also in paragraph 2 it says Scientist figured it was just another Matian mesa, common enough around Cyndonia. This also indicates that things like this are usually happening.
Next, the face is just a landform because scientist have no proof that aliens excist. If aliens doesn't excist then aliens couldn't have mad the face on mars. In paragraph 6 it says few scientist believed that the face was alien articraft. Indicating that aliens are not proven to be real.
Finally, the face is just a landform because the camera doesn't always take a good shot of the face. In paragraph 8 it say's that the camera on board MGS had to peer through wispy clouds to see th Face. This indicates that the camera might not have got a good shot of the face. In paragraph 9 it say's "It's not easy to target Cyndonia," says Garvin. In paragraph 8 it also says "We just don't pass over the face very often.
Based on the evidence provide i think the face is just a natural landform because a shadow can appear and make the rock look like it has a face, scientist have no proof that aliens excist, and the camera doen't always take good shots of the face. | 3 |
Have you ever noticed that there are so many vehicles on the road? Well, imagine a place without cars on the road, or even in the neighborhood! That sounds impossible right? Well in Vauban, Germany it isn't. They walk the streets without that loud roar of an engine, or the smell of fumes. You may ask, why would you not want cars on the road?
To begin with, Vehicles are giant sized moving objects with a lot of fuel spewing out. In article 1 it quotes; "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe . . . and up to 50 percent in some car sensitive areas in the United States." That is an astonishing percent vehicles cause to make greenhouse gas! Is all that greenhouse gas worth to just simply move faster to where you need to be? Is your time being faster worth your life being shorter?
Have you ever heard of Smog? It's a funny word yes, but it's sickening clouds that it causes aren't anything to laugh about. Smog causes fuel clouds that can contaminate you with deadly fuels or even make you sick. In source 2 it says; They even had to out law people from driving in Paris, due to the smog clouds it built. Almost 4,000 drivers were fined, and many had their cars impounded due to their reactions. It's maybe not a bad thing to have your head in the clouds, but it's a terrible thing to have your fuel in the clouds.
Furthermore, Not driving a car or using transportation not only reduces smog, but it can help reduce body fat and obesity. Driving is a fast way to get to places but it's a even faster way to death. So many accidents happen each year, and so many lives have been taken due to driving. Not driving reduces deaths and obesity by a lot! Many of the problems people have today are due to obesity. Making it hard for them to work or even move because it's a hassle to carry all that weight around. Is your life living fast worth your life ending short?
In conclusion, sometimes vehicles aren't the best way to get to places. Sure it's the fastest but it's a double edged sword. You wanna live life fast, your gonna die fast. Live it slow and conservative you'll live longer. Vehicles are a pollution to our earth, and many causes of deaths. Is that drive worth putting everyone elses lives at risk? | 2 |
Would you beleve there are faces on Mars mad of rocks or made by some living creature? Some would think the NASA's photos of the face is made by living creatures. The photo first came about from the viking1 from 1976.
NASA has always had weird and unusal thing come from photos.
But in 1976 the Viking 1 undescoverd a face on Mars Viking 1 was snaping landing sites for its sister ship. When it took a photo of a mound that looked like a face. A few days later they put the photo out in public and they went crazy.
The MArs Global Surveyor in later years proved that it was just shoadows on a mound with a better camera it showed mor detail that it was just a mound of rock. There are people who still thing it is aleins. Even if there were objects with the camera you could see shack youcould see everything.
What the photo really shows is a bette or mesa landforms its a lava dome that takes the form of aan isolated mesa. these are common in the American West.
The "faces" are just showdows on a lava dome. The faces are just shadows on the lava dome. With the high reasolouton camera we proved that. | 1 |
This technology that can read students' emotional expression is good. Because it can read student's behavior. For example if a student is becoming confused or bored,then the teacher will know it, by looking in the technology. Then the teacher will help the student for her or his problem. Student can also use this technology for their family,friends and the people arround them,to know what their emotion or what they gonna do. For example if there's a man in your back and he's trying to hurt you,you can act quickly because the technology will tell you and you can run away from that man.
I support my claim by this evidence from the article in paragraph four,the facial expressions for each emotion are universal observes Dr. huang, even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression (like not smiling as broadly).Using video imagery,the newemotion-recognition software tracks these facial movements.
Yeah, this technology will work really good for student. Also for teachers' and people who needed it. Becaus they can see what their friends expression or emotion if they gonna say somethin on them. If the technology tell you that your friends is sad you can tell them something to make them happy. This technology is really helpful for student and not just student,it can also help teacher and many people. | 1 |
Imagine someone receiving a text that happens to be an emergency, but they are on the interstate and can not pull over to respond back to the text, that they have just received. This is the reason that driverless cars need to be released to the public more. Driverless cars have both postiive and negative attributes. However, these cars have more positive attributes than they have negative. Driverless cars are safe, reliable, and helpful for the passengers and other drivers.
Driverless cars can be really safe for the driver and the passengers within the driverless car and for others around them. According to the article, "Driverless Cars Are Coming", "Most driving laws focus on keeping drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe, and lawmakers know that safety is best achieved with alert drivers. Presently, traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times." However these driverless cars are not completely driverless, there is a driver behind the wheel at all times, just in case if there is an accident or construction ahead so that the driver behind the wheel can take over the control, until they are past the interference.
Driverless cars can also be reliable and helpful for drivers. The cars drive themsleves for the most part, and the driver is supposed to be paying attention to the road at all times. However, they could receive a text or a call that might happen to be an emergency, so in turn they would be distracted. These cars could lower the deaths of texting drivers by a considerable number. Most everyone texts while they are driving even though some if not most of the states in the U.S. have laws against texting and driving. Many people disregard this law, and police do not stop these people that are texting while driving. The deaths and accidents are really bad in some states, so the state government have put laws in place so that drivers can not even be on there phone while the car is in operation. California is one of these states that has this law, and if drivers are caught driving while texting they can possibly get a huge fine. That is why driverless cars can be helpful and reliable for the drivers within these cars.
However these driverless cars also have some negative attributes. These cars could happen to be really expensive. Also according to the article, "Driverless Cars Are Coming", "... in most states it is illegal even to test computer-driven cars." There are many laws put in place so that these cars can not even be tested.
Driverless cars can be safe, reliable and helpful for the passengers and other drivers. These are the reasons that driverless cars should be used. The positive attributes out-weigh the negative attributes. | 3 |
Driverless cars would be very good, in my opinion because there are a lot of people who are unable to drive, handy-capped, etc.
One reason that driverless cars would be good is because like I said before there are people who are disabled that would need this. But professionals need to make sure that it works properly before using. They need to make sure that even computer-controlled cars are safe, before being used, or they will have to pay, because it is their fault if someone gets injured.
Another reason I would think this is a good idea is because just in case something happens inside the car they are suggesting that they put cameras inside. That is a very good idea, there could be a lot of things happening in just one car, to be honest. It says in Paragraph 7 in the last sentence, that "While the driver watches the road, the car watches the driver." That is a very good statment and I really think that they should put in cameras, if they actually do start using driverless cars.
But one thing they need to keep as a principle is being safe. They need to put up a good system that protects anything or anybody from trying to hack the cameras and look at people. There are crazy people who do that for some reason.
Driverless cars is a good idea, almost everybody could need this or would find this very interesting and it would also help in driving even to just basic places. | 2 |
When the inventions of mass production for cars started I doubt that the makers ever thought of a car that could drive itself. In this new technological age though the sky is the limit and companies are racing to make the holy grail of cars. One that does not even require a driver. There are arguments for driverless cars saying that it will decrease human error, however there are also those who are against the movement of driverless cars.
How do you start to trust a automobile to safely drive your family around by itself? There can always be faults in manufacturing and giving cars one hundred percent control is something that many may be uneasy about. The idea that there may be a point in time when no one owns cars is forgin. However flexible a taxi system maybe, I would still like to know that my car is mine and not shared with a thousand other people. The difficulties of perfectly matching the supply and demand for people who need the cars may be next to impossible.
At this point in time the prototypes for these driverless cars are not driverless. The car itself is able to navigate situations by itself however there are times in traffic or by work zones when the human driver has to be notified and take the wheel. A problem is that "this means the human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires."
What would happen if the driver had fallen asleep? Is the car equiped to pull itself over untill the driver wakes up?
There would alo have to be new laws and regulations put in place to protect drivers and the manufactures. "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault---the driveror the manufacturer?" You do not want to have car companies putting out bad products and having the public rely on them to do one hundrd precent of the work. You also would not want those companies taking the blame for every avoidable fender bender. Where is the line on liability?
The flip side of the coin may be the good that these new cars could do for society and the environment. Using only half for the gas would be increditible. Gas prices would decrease because of the supply and demand. There would be less CO2 pollution in the air and over all it would be a better environment. Having the ablitiy to sit back with your family and watch a movie while driving from Mississippi to New York is amazing. The price of airfare may also go down because it there would be a comfertable choice that is both cheaper and less of a hassle. This may also help people with diablities be more independent. There are already cars out there for them that are altered but I am sure a vast majority could still gain a lot from driverless cars.
I myself can not wait for the day when I can tell a car where to go then take a nap. The realities however are that it may not happen for the next forty years. To get to a point when every car out there is driverless will take time. Passing laws, rebuilding roads, passing test, and just sealing the cars will take more time then I would want. The idea of not owning my own car however id domeything that I do not look forward to. The thought of sitting in what is the same as a public seat for hours a day is crazy to me. It could also be a easy way to pass on illnesses. I still look forward to own my own private driverless car. | 3 |
You should come and help with transporting animals and relief supplies. To people who need them overseas. It will be fun and you will meet a lot of different people with different cultures. It will also count toward your time in the army if you are drafted. You will also get to feed animals and just generaly have fun onboard one of the ships. If you are lucky though you might get to eat dinner with the captain. You will also be able to see the happy faces as you drop off the relief supplies. All you have to do to join is sign up when you get drafted or sign up in general. It is also a good way to express your love of animals and the sea. Also it is a good way to show that you care and that you wont forget about the people in need. It is also a good way to experience the world. This is because you might go everywhere and see everything if you are coming with us on a ship. this is because there are people in need all over the world so you might go to Greece, Italy, or even England. It is also good if you have a big heart and want to express your apprieciation this is a good thing to be able to do because it can prove that you are caring. | 1 |
Luke in the story " A Cowboy Who Rode the Waves " went on a program called the Seagoing Cowboys program which took cowboys on a trip to places all over the world to take care of the animals. Luke could not pass this oppertunity and sighned up. After coming home repoters are asking him questions about his trip.
The first reporter asked Luke " why did you go?"
Luke replys with " Well it had so many experiences and, I thought I would have many oppertunities and showed me places I had nevver been to and Don and I had the time of our lives."
The next reporter questioned me " What oppertunities were in the trip "
I answer with " Well I thought if i traveled places I would at least get some gift or somthing remeber it but we just kept sailing, and get some jobs in the other contries which happened I am going to move Tokyo, China next month to be a worker for the main amazon. com factory. And I was happy doing Seacowboys program if you get the chance to do it.
The thrid repoter asked me " Do you get the same food and shelter as the others"
As I answer my mom calls but i ignore it and she thinks I am dead.
"Yes, we were treated the same as the pilot even though we had to take care of the animals we were treated as humans."
While my guard stands next to me and says it time to rape it up and I say " Sorry guy I have no more time to stay buy. | 0 |
The Face on Mars was created by natural landforms and it is impossible to have been created by aliens. First,there was no sign of alien interaction on Mars when the Face appeared. Next,it has been proven that the picture of the Face was actually a butte or mesa landform. Also, the other picture that was taken was more visual and it was 3 times bigger than the original. The Face couldn't have been formed by alien life.
One reason that proves that the Face is natural is that there has never been any alien interaction evidence on any planet. First of all,it is not possible for aliens to create a face in cement rock. Next,aliens wouldn't know what a face would look like because they wouldn't have a mirror and they wouldn't even know what they look like. Finally,if aliens were able to move rock,they wouldn't have any tools to use. Aliens couldn't have formed the Face if we don't even know if they exist.
Another reason that the Face is natural is that it has been proven that the Face was created by a butte or mesa landform. First,these landforms are very common in the American West. Next,Garvin knows that they are common because he mentioned,"it reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho."Garvin also said that the Middle Butte landform is the same height as the Face on Mars. If the Face is similar to another landform,it is most likely a natural landform.
The final reason that the Face is natural is that the first picture that was taken,isn't as clear as the newer picture. First,when the original picture was taken,it was very cloudy and difficult to see during the winter in April. This could have been mistaken for alien markings because the sight wasn't easy to see. Finally,the newer picture that was taken had a digital image 3 times bigger than the original pixel in the first photo. The newer photo proves that aliens were not around at all.
In conclusion,many people may have thought the Face was formed by aliens,but they only thought that because of the evidence they were given. The original photo was not clear so the newer photo shows what it really looked like. The Face also had similar features to mesa and butte landforms which are very common in many areas. Since there was no evidence to show that aliens were there,it's not reliable to believe. The Face on Mars is just a natural landform that formed suddenly and it can happen anywhere. | 3 |
Your crazy! The Face is a natural landform. There are many landforms on Mars, the landform just so happens to be a "face." I don't believe in aliens. They aren't real. Why would on an alien creat a face on Mars.
First, in paragraph 2, it even stated "Scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa." Why think otherwise. Maybe something under the ground caused the land to rise created what looks to be a "face."
Secondly, in paragraph 7, it stated "...Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera team snapped a picture ten times sharper...the image first appeared on a JPL website, revealing...a natural landform...not alien monument after all." This is all the convincing I need. There are clearly photos taken of Mars surface, where the "Face" was spotted, to show no alien monument there.
Last, but not least, in paragraph 12, it states, "...the picture actually shows the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa--landforms common around the American West." Garvin even says it reminds him most of Middle Butte in the snake River Plain of Idaho...a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars. It could be a landform caused by lava.
In conclusion, the "Face" could not have been created by aliens because of all the photographs that scientists took that shows the natural landform is just apart of natural. | 2 |
In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author describes why putting a man on the moon seems like a walk in the park compared to the horrendous obstacles preventing humans from pushing the frontier with visiting one of Earth's neighbors, Venus. The thick atmosphere is toxic to us. The clouds of sulfuric acid, the incredibly high temperatures on the planet's surface, and pressure would present challenges to mankind and its technology.
Yet, the author sees that mankind cannot be afraid of the risks when the rewards are so great. In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents is supported through Venus' vast similarities to Earth, Venus' proximity to Earth, and the innovation in machines by researchers that could make them work long enough to expand mankind's knowledge on Venus.
The idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers is supported through Venus' vast similarites to Earth, which is why humans have such interest in this particular planet. The author explains points in Venus' history that have intrigued astronomers, "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largelyt with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, " (4). Besides having been closer to Earth's "twin" many years ago, Venus may be more similar than humans thought, shown through "The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters," (4). Studying Venus could lead to us knowing why this planet is such a far cry from Earth now, and this could provide valuable with how humans interact with their environment. If Venus has such similar features to Earth, like valleys, then there is probably more to discover on Venus' surface. This peculiar connection between this planet and Venus shows how valuable exploration could prove, just as Venus' proximity further supports how worthy of a pursuit Venus is.
The idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the presented dangers is supported through Venus' proximity. The author conveys the usefulness of having Venus so close, "Because Venus is sometimes right around the corner-in space terms-humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped world," (2). Time and distance can be very influential in making groundbreaking decisions, like pursuing the exploration of Venus, as can be seen through, "...Venus can be sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit, a crucial consideration given the long time frames of space travel," (4). Humans love to have everything near by, like schools, work, and more, because of the convenience; the same benefit is seen with Venus. When the planet is close, the fuel needed would not be the same if humans were trying to get to Jupiter. There would be less of a chance of losing them. Time is essential in space, given humans' limited control out there, so proximity makes it that much easier for us to make the bold move. Venus's proximity gives reason to continue working towards exploring Venus, just as the innovations in machines have.
The idea that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it brings is supported through the innovation in machines that could make the close-up exploration of Venus possible. NASA's advancements for Venus exploration are promising, "For example, some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such chaos," (7). Humans would not be able to use the most advanced technology, but durability is the goal, "By comparison, systems (mechanical computers that use gears and levers to calculate) that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces," (7). If humans were to only hover over Venus, the possibilites are limited. Humans and technology have to be as close as possible. Technology that could last for a few weeks is enough to vastly expand our knowledge. Mechanical computers are now obsolete, but in Venus would be a valuable tool, just like the other electonics being made. Researchers have worked tirelessly to continue making Venus exploration a reasonable reality.

The idea that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite its hostile environment is supported through the innovation in machines that could make the close-up exploration of Venus possible. The author believes that sometimes humans cannot let curiosity, imagination, and innovation be trampled by the dangers and doubts. Humans cannot live in fear all the time. The human spirit always demands that humans continue striving towards knowing more. | 4 |
This would not be denifical in a classroom because it would make students uncomfortable knowing something is watching them, this would need its own computer to run, and it could not handle 30 people at a time.
First, people dont like being spyed on so having a computer program watching them all day would get some people feeling scared or unconfortable.
Second, the actical siad home computers cant handle the complex algorithms, and school computers are old and not as good as most computers at home so they would need a dedicated computer just for this program.
Finaly, the artical siad it counted action point based off mussel movement up to 44 for one person, but for a class of 30 people it would have to find individual people and measure their mussel movement independently from everyone else.
So, this program would not be useful because people would get uncomfortable, the space, cost and proccessing power need to run the program, and individual detection is needed before it can be used for a class room. | 1 |
The author supports this idea by giving us multiple details about venus. Venus is a planet in our solar system and it is the second planet from our sun. It is proved that Venus is a challenging place to examine closely because it has a lot of stuff that humans can not experience. Venus is a challenging planet for human to study closely because there are stuff that are extremely dangerous for humans and that humans can not do such as: Venus is not always close to Earth, the temperature and atmosphere is greater than what we experienced in Earth and it's danger to get to Venus.
Venus moves a lot from us or we move a lot from venus. There are differences from Venus and us what I mean with that is that sometimes we are closer to Mars and other times to Venus. In paragraph 2, the authors said humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped world. Each previous mission was unmanned, and that there is not a single spaceship that has survived the landing for more than a few hours and has touched down on Venus in more than three decades.
The temperature and atmosphere in Venus is greater than in Earth. Humans can not survived or experienced this because they would problably died. In paragraph three, it says that in venus is a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxiude and that the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than we experience in Earth. On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit. These things makes it more challenging for humans.
Trying to get to Venus is very dangerous for humans since we don't have resistents tools to go there and survived. In paragraph 5 , it says that the Nasa is working in possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus and they tought and allowed scientists to float above the fray. Like imagine a jet airplanes travel at a higher altitude to fly over many storms, it is still dangerous but it is survivable for humans.
In conclusion, Venus is a very challenging planet for humans to study because there are a lot of barriers that stop humans from getting more closer. | 2 |
Driverless cars are more than likely a big thing of the future. There are pros and cons. However, when it comes to the safety of human beings, I'd say to focus on more of the cons. Bad things happen all the time, an dmost of the time they are accidents. I'm not sure I'd risk my life on something I'm not in control of.
Let's start off with the pros, because there definitely are some. Elderly people, or even extremely young people. May find it difficult to get places that they need to go. With the help of a driverless vehicle, grandpa would never miss another doctors appointment. That is, until his driverless vehicle that you so carlessly persuaded him to purchase puts him in a coma. People that are afraid to drive or physically cannot, they could really use a driverless vehicle to help them get place to place. Now, let's get down to the cold hard facts.
Technology, it screws up all the time. Millions of people have troubles with their cell phones, game systems, and cars (yes, even regular vehicles malfunction) every single day. If some manufacturers can not even get a regular everyday car to work correctly without shutting down, blowing up, or getting unalined, how are we to trust that a driverless vehicle will suddenly keep us safe. Sure, drunk drivers would be less of a problem, but how can you trust a drunk man to properly operate a driverless car? You can't. Anywhere that there seems to be a pro for these cars, there's a con not far behind.
Raging drunk idiot get in his driverless car. He decides he wants it to go full speed ahead at the man crossing the street. It's too easy to use these cars as weapons and call it a malfunction. There would be more cases of vehicular manslaughter than ever before. I don't know about you, but I like my life without driverless cars. They're too hazardous.
I don't want to live in a world where cars aren't things you drive. I like my life. I like knowing that most of the people on the roads know what they're doing. Technology has failed us again and again. I don't trust that it wouldn't do it this time around. | 2 |
Emotional expressions
Did you know that emotional expression are easily to see. Using technology to see emotional expression, you can see it in video imagery. this can track some facial movements in a real face or in a painted face. or humans can perform some facial expressions.
Humans can probably see when a person is doing a facial expression by how they feel. Like for example if they are sad, happy, or worried, you can easily see it by their expressions. In computers if you take a picture and put on the computer and you are smiling the computer would see what kind of emotions you will have. Also in some computer can animate some faces expression like for example when a character from a movie is having a painful feeling you can animated and put the emotion that the character is feeling. Like for example the character's emotin is sadness, happy, worried, angry, etc. You can also show some facial expression by moving your muscles like for example, eyebrows, mouth, nose, etc. You can make expression by just moving some muscles in your face.
In conclusion you can make some facial expression using some techonology to make or see facial expressions, or seeing in painting the expression that they have. Or you can do some expression by moving your muscles in your face like eyebrows, nose, and mouth. | 0 |
Walking into the voting booth "...every four years on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November" (Office Of Federal Register 6), the people of the United States of America expect their vote to count. Although, the president is elected in a more indirect way, by the electoral college, which does not represent the people, and is not fair. The president should be elected by popular vote from now on.
The first problem that the electoral college faces is the fact that it does not truly represent the opinion of the people. First, voters can walk into the booth and "...get confused about the electors and vote for the wrong candidate" (Plumer 10). Not every voter is educated on exactly how the electors and candidates are represented on the ballot and that may lead to an accidental win. On top of this misconception, almost decietfully, an elector promised to a candidate can change their vote at a moments notice(Plumer 10). Even Posner who writes for the electoral college admitted that it is possible, and he claims that it is "rare";however, it has happened before in 1960 (Plumer 11), and not even Posner can control the actions of an elector, legally anyway. Also, when a candidate wins a popular vote, which is the true mind of the people, that candidate still may not win the electoral vote, overall, loosing the election. This happened just a few years back in the 2000 election between President Bush and Gore(Posner 16).All in all, the electoral college does not represnt the people.
Looking deeper into the subject, elections by the electoral college are not fair. The first example appears in the method of the "..."winner-take-all" system that awards all electors to the winning presidential candidate"(Office of Federal Register 7). Because of this system, Presidential candidates may not feel the need to campaign to all people, just those of the states with the highest amount of electoral votes(Plumer 13). This goes against the american concept of "all men are created equal", leaving voters feeling undervauled and not important. Second, "A tie in the nationwide electoral vote is possible because the total number of votes-538- is an even number.." (Posner 18). Although this tie is claimed to be "highly unlikely". However, an election by popular vote would make the conundrum even further unlikely by the general logic of the fact that it is a lot less possible for the opinion of an entire nation to be split down the middle than that of 538 electors. Another issue with a tie in the electoral college lies in how that draw is resolved. The tie-breaker is left to the representatives in congress, and "Because each state casts only one vote, the single representative from Wyoming...would have as much say as the 55 representatives from California..." (Plumer 12). This simply does not give all the voters equal say in who wins the election. All of these topics and more compressed together represent how un fair the election truly is.
Entering the booth next election day, dont only think about who you are voting for, but also how you are voting for them. It makes all the difference, and, ultimately, the popular way is the best way. | 4 |
The reasons you should join the program are very fun and unique.I could go sihtseeing in different places.The places I went had very pretty things and canals.It is very unique to help in ships with animals.After we delivered the animals we could play in the lower holds of the ship.
I went to Europe,China,Venice,and Greece.In Greece I saw the Acropolis.I got to ride a gondola in Venice,Italy.I also toured an excavated castle in Crete,and marveled the Panama Canal on my way to China.When we left the animals in places, we could play baseball and voleyball in the empty holds.We also did tennis tournaments,fencing,boxing,reading and,whittling.
Caring for the animals kept me busy.I had to feed and water them two or three times a day.Bales of hay and oats had to be brought up from the bottom of the ship.We also had to clean the stalls.
As you can see I had a great time.Helping and having fun was someting I did.It was an opportunity of a lifetime.So,you might consider joining the program.You can go sightseeing and help.You may see places you always wanted to see.Helping other people is amazing.You'll be able to have fun once the job is done. | 1 |
Automobile companies are beginning research on driverless cars. Many of these companies believe that driverless cars are the safest form of transportation. People think that the mass production of driverless cars could potentially change the entire world. Many people have been fascinated with the idea of cars having the ability to drive themselves. Are self-driving vehicles a smart idea though?
Driverless cars could very possibly be one of the most amazing inventions man has ever known, but are these cars really as safe as people are saying. In my opinion, I feel as if these cars are not as safe as a human having full control of his or her own vehicle, and I feel that once a driverless car is used long enough that it would begin to malfunction and not work properly. I feel like driverless cars are more of a fantasy, than an actual reality. I do not think these cars are safe enough to actually be sold on the market.
Another bad thing about driverless cars is the fact that they would be too expensive for any average citizen to be able to afford. If these vehicles were being mass produced right now and sold on the market, only extremely high class citizens would have the money to purchase one. The amount of technology that each and every one of these cars require, it would be nearly impossible to sell for a reasonable price. People do not have the money to buy a normal used car to drive, let alone a car that can drive itself. The amount of money spent in making these cars would be outrageous, and the very few people being able to afford them would only cause companies to lose an extreme amount of profit.
With all of this being said, I do not feel like driverless cars will ever be more than a fantastic thought. I do not think these cars will become a reality, and I do not think we will ever see the day when everyone owns a self-driving car. The thought of these cars is very fascinating, however it does not seem to be realistic. Driverless cars are an amazing technological advancement, but the day when everyone owns one will not come, so we all need to steer ourselves in the right direction. | 2 |
This persuasive essay is about why you should join the the Seagoing Cowboy Program. The Seagoing Cowboy Program is an amazing program with a lot to offer. You could change your life easily by going into the program.
Luke Bomberger had no idea his life would change but "He knew it was an opportunity of a lifetime.
Luke said that "The cattle-boat trips were an unbelievable opportunity for a small-town boy" He also said "Besides helping people I had the side benefit of seeing Europe and China.
It's an amazing opportunity because you get to help people, and you get to see beautiful places like Europe and China. You get to have free time and few jobs let you have free time. "Luke found time to have fun on board he played table tennis, fencing, boxing, reading, and even whittling. If that's not enough I don't know what is. Being a Seagoing Cowboy is just an opportunity you don't want to miss. | 1 |
Dear, Senator
I'am a conserend voter that belives you should represent the people of your party and should apose the electoral college. It causes an unnecissary complication for voting for who will represent the face of the best country on earth. We the people do not want to get the wrong president to represent the majority of the population. The chances of an indefined out come through electoral college may be low but when it comes down to the presidency nothing should be left to chance.
The voters should know how the system of voting for president. They are the ones that deside so they should know how there vote can be used to have the greatest affect. Bradford Plumer states "voters sometimes get confused about the electors and vote for the wrong candidate...sometimes". A democracy is when the people deside the destiny of there country. For them not to know what there chosing takes power out of the hands of the people.
The Winner-takes-all system is ok when your on the playground as a childs it does not work in the real world. This system creates Swing States. Acording to Richard A. Posner "method of awarding electoral votes induces the candidates to focuse their campaign efforts on the toss-up sates". This draws attention away from other states. Bradford Plumer explanes that "During the 2000 campaign, seventeen sates didn't see the candidates at all". He also clames "puting the fate of the presidency in the hands of a few swing voters in ohio". This is not right each vote should be just as important as anyother and no state should be the desiding outcome in an election.
Chance is a crazy thing. If there is a chance of something happening and it's given time it will happen. A number of weird outcomes can happen with electoral college. One outcome is the posibility of having a tie. Richard A. Posner explains"A tie in the nationwide electoral vote is possible because the total number of votes-538- is an even number". If a tie happens the represenetives vote for the people and because each state has one vote per electoral college..."55 representatives from california, who represent 35 millon voters.". Second posible out come is the majority vote goes to one canadite and the electoral college goes to the other. For example Bradford Plumer wrote"This year voters can expect another close election in which the popular vote winner could again lose the presidency." These are just two of the odd outcomes of electoral colleges could cause.
Electoral college don't solve problems but creat them. The best way to put it is this..."It's official: The electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational. The best arguments in favor of it are most assertions without much basis in reality. And the arguments against direct elections are spurious at best."~(Bradford Plumer)~ | 3 |
I think teaching how to do this to students is a very good idea. Because if we teach this to students we can tell if a person is having a dad day and you can help them out or not. You could also tell if someone is happy or sad. You could tell if they are havin g a dad day and you could try and make them have a good day. You could tell if someone was having suicidle thoughts or is just joking. If you see someone that is happy you could try and keep them happy all day. The author also tells you could not do this with your home PC because it coundn't handle the complex algorithms that you would need for this to work. He tells you what muscles to look for that are bieng used if you try this on a lab partner. He tells you what muscles that are needed for a genuine smile and what muscles to look for on a forced smile. Like in a real smile the person would be using Zygomatic major(muscles that begin at your cheek bones) lift the corners of your mouth. But in a false smile the person would be using the muscles called the Zygomatic muscle and the risorius muscle also. | 1 |
Venus is the closest planet to earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too. The author suggests that studing venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. The author supports this kind of good because there is so many new and good things that earth has never seen and would be nive to see it and if life could ever happen in venus. Beside the fact that venus is really hot and not spaceship hass landed in venus because of the teprture of the surface and the atmosphere. Venus tempature is average 800 degrees fahrenheit and the atmospheric pressure is 90 time greater than what earth is. Some astronmoers are fascinated by venus because it may well once have been the most earth like planet in our solar system.
At thirty-plus miles above the surface, temeratures would still be tosty at around 170 degree fahrenheit. However peering at venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the plantet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions because most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense atmospere, rendering standard forms of photography and videography ineffective. Many researchers are working on innovations that wold allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowleadge of venus. NASA has been working on other approaches to studying venus, for example some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in chamber simulating the chaos of venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such condition.
No matter how yhardee people try to make more things to go to venus the human curiostiy will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors. The travels on earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doudts but should be ecpanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation. In conclusion i think that the author is right we should be studying venus because there is so many thing that we have to explore and so many good nrew things, and with the new invantions that NASA is making we should be getting closer and closer to be able to get closer to the suface and closer to the atmosphere. | 2 |
Arguing about keeping the electoral college would have to be the best oppition. The process of the electoral college is a meeting of electors that vote forpresident and vice president. I think that the people should help out with this voting like all we do is give them advice. When this is done the people that voted are picking the right person to protect our country. And when we vote for your new president you are actually voting for the candidate's electors.
In maine and nebraska they are differnet form every other state they dont do the winner takes all they have a differnet system. When the president is elected he gets a certifacation of all the people he beat. I think thats wrong I think that everyone that fought in this election should get a little thing. Jimmy carter, bob dole, and others all agreed that electoral college should be abolished. In this election 60 percant of people voted not to have a electoral college.
When voters are voting on the new president they are actally voting for the state of electors. If your voting in texas for someone that is running you wouldn't be voting for them you would be voting for the democratic electors. The best argument against the electoral college would have to be the disaster factor. In 2000 there was a election crisis that broke out it was the biggest one. The states leislatures are technically responsible for picking the electors and picking this people they can defy eneyone.
Back in 1960 a louisiana legislature succeeded in replacing the democratic elector with a new one. Electors had refused to vote for their party's candidate and it happened in hawaii 1960. The vice president at the time had made sure that everything was back to normal. | 0 |
Today, 1976, we found a face on the land of mars. When we all saw the picture we get surprised.
Sence the day of that picture all of us working in NASA tried to find out what was that. It did have a great impact to NASA because if someone else saw the picture, it will make panic to the audience and the world.
So all those years we studied mars and it's land's forms to see if there were others that look a like. We didn't find other that look a like so people start to make their own ideas of the face.
Most people though that was made for aliens, but it wasn't. We discovered that there was nothing on there just rocks and natural land. And one of are partners came with the idea of a natural structure or a mesa. He think in that because if people or aliens live in there it's most be something in there that help us see if they live in there.
NASA send people to see if they could find something in there that may help us, but not.
So we decided to show it to the world because it was just a mesa. People got scared in the start but when they see that there were no aliens they relax and some studious used that for movies, books, etc.
And sense that day everyone it's okay with stuff that they don't understand, because they know that is just something new. | 2 |
Fellow citizens all over the world. Cars are not nessisary. There are a bunch of great reasons why limiting car usage has its advantages. A couple of reasond are that it's good for the environment, you will save a bunch of money, more exersize and less acidents.
If citizens limited their car usage, it would be a whole lot better for the environment. Driving everywhere in your car wastes gas and that goes into the air that we breathe. It is not good what cars are doing to the air. They are poluting our air, trees cannot convert it to oxygen. We are stuck with the gas that come from the cars in the air.
You will save a great amount of money by not spending it on gas to drive everywhere. Gas is not cheap and wont last forever. Its about $3.00 a gallon sometimes even more than that. If you save your money and not spend it on gas and just walk, you can save it and spend it on something useful.
When you think about limiting your car usage, you can think about getting more exersize. imangine a nice day and you walk down a strees to go to the store to pick up something small; you can smell the beautiful flowers. Fell the breeze that hits you just right and the sun shinning down on you just the way you like it. You would not be able to experince any of that if you were in your car driving to the store. The best part of car limiting is that there would be less acidents on the road. A great amount of people get injured or killed because of cars. If we did limited our cars usage, people would not die or get injured from cars.
Limited car usage for our fellow citizens has its great advanteages. A hand full of reasons why we should, but if we compare the facts of a car free place. It would be a nicer, safer, and a better place to live. | 1 |
Do you want to hear a story? so i was at work cause im a scientist an me in my friend had an agrument about what happen to mars about the facemark.
The agrument started because we were talking talking about it an he said that a alien put it there i said impossible. So he got mad at me i said state your reason why you think a alien put it there. He responed that he dont know i said you have to know something but then he saw an picture and he said the picture look like alien heads.
Then i gave him my response he said why you don't think it's aliens i told him i don't belive and aliens. He said thats not a good enough reason because i did not state facts so i told him the reason why i dont belive aliens are real beacuse i never heard one i never saw one with my own eyes and i also said the face dont look nothing like a alien. The argument kept going on because he said i dont know what a alien look like so you dont.
Last, we came together an said we dont know cause we kept arguing about how was a alien and how it was not a alien. He did not like my response when i said i dont know how they look how they sound thats why i said it was not a alien. It also kept going cause i did not like his response he did give me details or nothing. He just told me he look up a picture that look like alien thats why we came together and said we don't know. | 0 |
Dear state senator,
I have come to a conclusion that I argue in favor of changing to election by popular vote for the president of the united states. I think if we kept the Electoral college and we voted for this person and he went against us and chose the wrong person for president we would be out of luck. Voting ourselves for the president of the United States would be the best for everyone. No one would get confused on who they want to vote for or wo they want to win the election. In my opinion its just best that way. as they say in source 2 "can voters control whom their electors vote for? Not always." If you cant control whom your voting for as the president it makes no sense to even vote. That's like saying im voting for no reason. For example in the Electoral College you aren't voting for the president your'e voting for the electors who then votes for the presidet. If you dont know who the elector is going to vote for how do you know to vote for that elector, let's say you do know and they change their mind and go against you. You cant do anything about it but hope for the best. I say get rid of the Electoral college and let voters vote who they want to be the president of the United States. | 2 |
The new technology to read human facial expressions might be a little too much. It might say your emotion is one but your not feeling that emotion and then it will just throw you off. But if we could use it just for pictures, and projects in schools, that might be a bit more intresting.
Say if we got this new technology in our schools today it might not always be correct then throw some students off, or it could become very distracting and take away from the students learning. Todays kids are so involve with technology and it shouldn't really be mixed in with our schools as much because students just become distracted" "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," Dr. Huang predicts. "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instrcutor." " What if the coomputer reads the wrong emotion that the student is feeling and then it wouldn't give them the correct lesson. But if we used it for school related projects then that might help with the students learning and engage them more.
In conclusion it wouldn't be the best solution to use this technology to read students emotions, becaue it might not always work, and students can become distracted easily. But if we could use it for projects or to do research then that might be a way that students can use it for studies. | 1 |
In the issue known as the "driverless cars" dilema, I stand affirmative in that we should implemint them in our system. Personaly I am very againts polution of the Earth and bettering our enviornment. A huge reason as to why our planet is suffering is that we use too mant green housegasses, thus causeing the green house affect on our planet. First off, let me explain what a green house gas is. Agreen house gas is any gaseous item that keeps in heat. One of the biggest contributions to green house gasses is corbon monixide (c02). Once this is realeased into our enviornment the gas keeps the heat inside Earth's atmosphere. The sun's rays come into earth and then once hit, they bounce off and attempt to return. The key word there is attempt, see the green house gases keep those rays inside and dont allow them to return, thus increaseing Earh's temperature. The addition of greenhouse gasses has affected our enviornment in more ways then you would imagine. The first thing that comes to mind is of course global warming. Also it affect our species and health. The artical says something about the driverless cars useing about hslf of the gasoline inour world today. This is the first reason why I am in agreement with the aouthor
. The second reason why I like this idea is that it resembles change. To me that is one of the things America stands o is the ability to change and not remain stagnate. Imagine a world where you could be driven around, its hard to imagine isn't it, but in this counrty anyone or myself can change things, and to me this is something worth changeing. I know that i have traffic probloms myself and I dont even drive, so i can't even imagine what the struggle is for those whom do particeipate in automobileic practices. To me driverless cars can be one-step closer into a carefreee America, so there is no way
that I can oppose this. There seems to be a problom with legalizeing this. The article says that driverless cars are only allowed in a few states with conditions. I recomend that we allow the continued reserch and developement of driverless cars continue until it become a practical reality. To be honest, arn't we already working tword this with Ubers? When I think of an Uber I think of a mindless puppet behind the wheel anyway, so what is the Difference.
In conclusion I belive that incorperating driverless cars will be a huge step in the right direction in the technology of America. One day I soon hope to tell my children "if you need a ride just call a google", or "I'll see you when the car drops you off". Just thinking about the possibilities are giveing me goosebumps. Many people may have conseerns with the saftey of padestriens or wreckless drivers, but I can see any real major concers. The article said that these cars... "have driven more than half a million miels without a crash". Whats not safe about that? also we could possibly eliminate drunk driveing accidents , no longer would a parent have to worry about thier child being hit by a drunk driver becouse computers dont get drunk. The road may not be the ideal spot fo innovation, but who is to say that we can't make it one. | 2 |
The author states that going to Venus would be worth it despite the risks, but does not back up this claim very well. They mostly talk about the dangers of going to Venus instead of focusing on the importance of exploring there. They also say things like "Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere," and "the atmospheric pressure is over 90 times greater than what we experince on our own planet," basically emphasizing that Venus would be almost impossible to explore because of the extreme harsh conditions on the planet.
First off, in paragraph 3 the author writes "Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere. On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet." This is the author suming up how impossible it would be to travel there with the technology scientists have today. They even state "such an environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans." By saying this they are even supporting the fact that scientists can't get there with the technology they have now.
Secondly, the only support the author has for even traveling to Venus in the first place, is that it is closely related to the planet Earth having features like valleys and mountains. In paragraph 4 he writes "Today, Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth. The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters." So basically the only reason we should spend the billions of dollars it would take to travel there, is because it is somewhat similar to our planet. The only other support the author has for traveling there is the point that it is the closest planet for planetary visit. Although this might be true, this doesn't rule out the fact how inhospitable and dangerous the planet is.
Furthermore, the rest of the article including paragraphs 5 and 7, the author talks about ways we can get there with the technology we have now. They state that "NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray." So the scientists wouldn't actually land on Venus and explore, they would just stay 30 miles or so above the surface and look down onto it. But then in paragraph 6 they completley contradict themselves by writing "peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on the ground conditions, because most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense atmospher, rendering standard froms of photography and videography ineffective." By saying this, they suggest that if the scientists were able to hover above Venus and look down, they would have to have some special camera in order to see anything through Venus's thick atmosphere.
Finally, the author doesn't have very much support for his claim: exploring Venus is worth it despite the dangers. They mostly talk about all the dangers of the planet and why scientists can't get there, saying things like "Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere," and "the atmospheric pressure is over 90 times greater than what we experince on our own planet." Aside from that, they have a minimal amount of evidence convincing readers to think going to Venus is a good exploration plan, and more evidence showing readers that going to Venus is not that great of an idea. | 4 |
An alien spieces exist on Mars? The "Face" is an object believed to be created by aliens. Some believe this, and some do not. The Face is not created by aliens.
The Face is a natural landform which is supported by evidence. In 1976, NASA's Viking 1 spacecraft flew by and saw a object that looked like a face on Mars. However, in 1976, the cameras weren't that high-resolution, so it would make things seem different. In 1998, NASA went back to check it out and found out it was just a mesa. In 1998, NASA had better equipment to take pictures of and had better definition. For example, the text states, "And so 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. Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing...a natural landform." The text also cites, "What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa--landforms common around the American West."
Others may say that the Face is created by aliens because of many reasons. The people who believe in the theory of the Face being created by aliens may say that the NASA just hides the proof. The story quotes, "...evidence that NASA would rather hide, say conspiracy theorists." In 1998, NASA took a picture and revealed a landform, however some were not shaken of their beliefs. Others say that NASA didn't take it at the correct latitude and season. In the text, it says, "The Face on Mars is located at 41 degrees noth martian latitude where it was winter in April '98--a cloudy time of year on the Red Planet." Some believed it was hidden by clouds. An example of this in the story is "The camera board MGS had to peer through wispy clouds to see the Face. Perhaps, said skeptics, alien markings were hidden by haze."
The Face is a natural landform, and aliens didn't create it. Does an alien species live on Mars? The "Face" is believed to be made by aliens. Some believe this, and some don't. | 2 |
Although many see driverless cars as an alternative to cars with drivers. I do not see this as an alternative for the future. The driverless cars are not making split second decisions that a car with a drive can. "Google cars aren't truly driverless; they still alert the driver to take over when pullin in and out of driveways or dealing with complicated traffic issues, such as navigating through roadwork or accidents." This is a small set back, and also another reason why I do not believe in driverless cars.
Changing roads completely would be very expensive. How long exactly would changing the road systems actually take? "These smart-road systems worked suprisingly well, but they required massive upgrades to existing roads, something that was simply too expensive to be practical." Using newer technology on cars such as the Prius. Technology has been proven to fail, so at some point this technology is bound to fail.
Cars are big computers. All the new technology being put into cars, yet this is making cars a lot like computers more than motor vehicles. Again as well all this technology is very costly. Radar was a device on a hilltop that cost two hundred million dollars. It wasn't something you could buy at Radio Shack. So just how driverless will the cars be in the future." All the technology in cars, yet humans are still needed, making calculated decisions instead of the car. "The Google car simply announces when the driver should be prepared to take over." Texting and driving is a big problem facing many drivers today. Driverless cars have a hard time navigating through accidents. If a driver is texting and doesn't notice an accident what happens then. The car can notify the driver, but the driver may still be on their phone. Driverless cars are not making split second decisions that a driver can.
"Automakers are continuing their work on the assumption that the problems ahead will be solved." Problems for future driverless cars. "Tesla has proojected a 2016 release for a car capable of driving on autopilot 90 percent of the time." These cars are supposed to be driverless. Why should the car have autopilot 90 percent of the time instead of 100 percent? There are still problems facing driverless cars even in development today. | 2 |
I think that driverless cars are a good idea because drivers will now be more alert to what they are doing. And it may keep people off of their phones while driving because they have to be alert at all times in order to take the wheel. Also i believe it is a good idea because since it is sensored it will let the driver know when it is too close or is getting to close to something causeing less wrecks.
the car will also keep drivers off of their phones. since the driver has to stay aware at all times they wont have time to be on their phones. It also is a good idea because if someone doesnt know where to go the car will know and could get them there.
Also the car breaks its self and steers its self accuratly. The car incase a driver is not fully alert of a problem the car quickly get the drivers attention so the driver is aware.
When the car is unable to get through work places or accidents the car will announce that it is ready for the driver to take over. Manufacturers are also considering putting a camera in the car to make sure that drivers are remaining focused on the road at all times.
The car is going to have a entertainment and information system that use heads-up displays so that the driver doesnt get bored while waiting for their turn to drive. the car is also capable of driving on autopilot 90 pecent of the time. And by 2020 mercedes benz and nissan plan to have cars that fully drive themselves.
So having a car that is going to keep drivers passengers and pedestrians safe is an absolutly great idea. we will have less acciudents and more people aware of their surroundings. It will also help people who cant see very well be aware of the things around them. That is why i beleive the driverless car is a good idea. | 2 |
The author supports the idea very well by adding how venus can not only benefit us but also what the history on venus could have been, and what we can learn from it. The author also states that Venus is basically earth's twin with the size and shape of venus. The only problem is it's very difficult to get to venus. Even with a rover going instead of a human. Which is good because no rover has survived longer than a couple of hours.
Even with those risk Venus can benefit us by us getting there to fill up on solor energy and bringing it back to earth. The author also supports the idea by explaining how thick the atmosphere is by saying ''almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus'', and also ''the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we expirence here on our own planet''. Which means it what more than any other human have expirenced here on Earth. The author also provides the weather like erupting volcanos, poweful eathquakes, and frequent lightning strikes. Also stating that venus still had earth like analogous like rocky sediment, Valleys, moutains, and crators.
So the author did very well supporting the idea which is shoud we go to Venus?The author provided us with valuable information that can help us find whats on Venus for us and how it can provide for us. Such as solor pannels that can give us energy. Also with pressure that a human can not survive in. So the author did very well in giving us information that supports the idea. | 2 |
Cars are so important to some people , so why should it be taking taken away from you. Espeacially if you bought it with your hard working money. Some countries are starting to take cars away from some people due to their laws. In Suburb,German David Goldberg an official of Transportation for American is trying to promot new communties that is less dependent on cars. In Paris, they banned driving due to smog. Let's not forget about Colombia who has banned cars days after days and has force people to use buses and taxis. Most mayors or whoever is incharge of transportion feel like the country needs a little ajustments.
In German,Suburb life goes on without cars. Street parking , driveways and home garages are generally forbidden in this experimental new district. Vauban's streets are completely car free , but some car ownership is allowed , but there are only two places to park- large garages , car-owner can buy a space for $40,000 or at their home. some people enjoy they moment with having cars. To them it feels like less stress , and also is saving money. Vauban , home to 5,500 residents may be the most advanced experiment in low0car suburban life. For the past two decades they have been trying to make the city more denser , and better for walking. Though it's causing less stress on some people, the other half are missing their cars.
Paris bans driving due to smong. After days of near-record pollution , paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city. Some days even-numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine of $31. oo , and the next the day the odd- numbered plates do the same. Almost 4,000 drivers were fined , according to an international news headqurtered in London. Diesel fuel was blamed , since France has a tax policy that favor diesel over gasoline. Finally the he smog cleared enough Monday.
Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota, Colombia. It was seven straight year cars have been banned with only buses and taxis permitted for the day without cars in this capital city of 7 million. The goal is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. Violators faced $25 fines. This was a good cause in Colombia. It was only to protect the people.
For all my fellow citizens new changes are coming to your countries weather you like it or not. It only for the better or in some cases the worse as well. Vauban's streets in German are now being car frees unless you somewhere to park or a home with a driveway. Paris bans driving due to smog , for safty season.
And in Colombia it was the same thing with the smog , and now with the rain. Colombia also had to protect their people as well with Paris. These advantages of limiting cars usage is now being taken serioulsy. | 1 |
Dear State Senator, I send you this letter to bring up an issue that is often debated amongst us Americans. Should we kee the Electoral College? No! The electoral college just doesn't work anymore and we have seen that in the past. You probably ask yourself what is wrong with the Electoral College? The problem with the Electoral College is that it is unfair, it doesn't rely on what the people say and it can sometimes really make the public mad.
The Electoral College is really unfair, especially for voters. We vote for who WE want, not for some other guy to say what we want. Voters want THEIR voice to be heard when they vote not someone else's. When we vote for a presidential candidate we want to vote directly for who we are voting, we want to pick who we want directly. In source 2 the article explains how the Electoral College works. The author says "Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a state of electors, who in turn elect the president." What this means is that when you voted for Obama you didn't vote for Obama , you voted for a group of people to vote for who they wanted. So your voice was not heard. Don't you find that unfair to the voters and to the candidates?
Everytime one person votes for a certain presidential candidate, they are basically ignored. The President should be chosen by the people! And at the moment the President is being chosen by politicians who will "represent" us and repeat what we say although that has been proven to not always be true. Passage 2 reminds us of the incidence in the 2000 election in which Al Gore lost the presidency to George W. Bush by electoral votes, even though he had more inividual votes. This proves that our state representatives will not always represent us how we want them to, but how they want to represent us. This is the reason why voters need a direct voice from them to picking their leaders. We should pick what we want not what some politicians want. You are probably saying that these incedents do not happen very often, as said in source 3. The article says "...it is entirely possible that the winner of the electoral vote will not win the national popular vote. Yet that has happened very rarely. It happened in 2000...but that was the first time since 1888" This says that situations like this are very rare, yet it is still possible. Even so, wouldn't you rather the people be heard rather than a politician that claims to represent his state?
So many people got mad in 2000 when they just chose the president most people didn't want. There's many ways to make us Americans mad and this is just another one of those ways. In the United States you are supposed to be able to choose what you believe to be right. If you want to choose what you think should be the future's right president then you should be able to pick him and not have to expect anyone's approval or opinion on your vote. You should be able to walk out from the voting center and say
I voted for this guy. Eventually keeping the Electoral College will only cause more problems, because as time goes on the human develops its opinion futher and creates and spreads new ideas meaning that there will be more people picking different things. If you think that what you are picking should be picked you should be able to say "I want that" and not have to through the bother knowing that a politician may have chosen what you DON'T want. If you want to make Americans mad, then keep the Electoral College.
In conclusion I think that the Electoral College be removed and the use of popular vote be put into effect because the Electoral College is unfair, it does not reply on what the public says and it makes the Americans mad. Please take this letter into consideration. | 3 |
Dear State Senator,
The Electoral College has held together Americas' voting for several of years. It has also torn down voting, people argue against it. It favors the people and their vioces. The Electoral College should not change, it should stay in effect, because it keeps fairness with big states and their votes and it will avoid run-off elections.
The Electoral College should not change because it keeps fairness with big states. As stated in source 3: In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President, in paragraph 21, it says that the Electoral College restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the Senate decreed in the Constitution. The system of which the Electoral College has keeps big states from making a bigger impact, intead it makes sure that the big states have the same imact of voting as the littler states do.
Keeping the Electoral College in effect will avoid run-off elections. As shown in Source 1: What Is the Electoral College? It states that the Electoral College consists of 538 electors. It also states that A majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the President. In Source 3: In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President, in paragraph 22, it states that when no canidate wins a majority of the votes it casts a pressure. That pressure can highly effect the presidental election process, which is reduced by the Electoral College.
The Electoral College should not change because it has held the american voting together for so long. It is obviuosly working if the people have only had a few problems with it. The Electoral College has done more good than it has bad, why get rid of or change something that is doing America good? The Electoral College has kept much fairness throughout big and small states with how much their voting will count, it has kept from having complications about run-off elections, and it has done many more great things for America. | 2 |
Has driverless cars ever came to your mind before? To think that car companies and Google are working on these futuristic things are mind blowing. In a few years we could be in the future era of cars. Cars like this would change the world. They would use less fuel, help improve safety, and allow the driver to have fun.
First reason driverless cars would help improve our life is they use less fuel. Having to use less fuel would save people big money. The cars would be able to travel more miles per gallon. Since these cars will only need half as much fuel, people could select cars not based on how much gas they use, This would allow customers to choose the car they really want.
Second reason driverless cars would help improve our life is they can decrease the number of car crashes. Inside all these cars are loads of sensors. These sensors help the car stop, slow down, or brake automatically. By having this kind of technology, the car accidents around the country would drop. That also means more people would buy these cars knowing they are safe.
Last reason driverless cars would help improve our life is because they would allow the "driver" to have fun and relax. Some of the manufacturers would put in-car entertainment and information systems in the car. These display systems could turn of instantly in case the driver wanted to take over the car. Drivers in the car could also text if they wanted too. They would not have to worry about hitting someone or something.
Driverless cars would greatly improve our society. They would use less fuel to save us more money, decrease car accidents, and make drivers less bored. It could take many more years for these type of cars to come. They might not even come for another 20 years. When they do, we will all be living in the future era of cars. | 3 |
Have you ever thought of living in Venus or how it looks? some people believe Venus will be the next earth in the future but some people aslo believe there will never be another planet like earth. well this article will be talking about studying Venus is a worthy pursuit and the dangerous of Venus.
In the article studys show that Venus is like earths twin because "Venus is the closets planet to earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the colsets in distance to earth."
this is one reason why we should study Venus becasue its like earth's sister which comes to my second reason why we study Venus. Second reason is " long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth." But there's dangerouses to this. something that's dangerous about this is how far it is. In the artical the author states "each previous mission was ummaned, and for good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours." then procceds to say "maybe this explains why not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus." this shows that getting there will be a challenge. another dangerous thing about Venus that the author states is "evn more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere." this will take years to find a way to take care of the acid.
This basically tells you how Nasa is working on how to land on Venus and showing us that there might be another planet like earth.
Now do you change your mind on believing on another earth like plant is out there or do you still think earth will be the only planet with living organisms on it? | 2 |
I am here, because I think you should join this program. This program is called, Seagoing Cowboys. It is a great program for people. You get to see alot of cool and neat stuff aswell. I would have never known about this program if my friend hadn't shown me it. We had signed up together.
You should definently join, because you get to see cool places like, China, Panama Canal, even the Acropolis in Greece, and that's not even all! Many people that have joined this program that have been greatful for the expeirence. I am greatful for the opportunity. It made me more aware of the people of other countries and their needs.
This is why you should join this amazing program. It was a fantastic expeirence. I am so greatful that my friend had gotten me to sign up. This is the reasons why you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program. | 1 |
What has the work come to? When parents and grandparents were young, no one would have ever dreamed of such a thing. A driverless car is something that not many people thought they would see happening in their life time. Technology is going farther and farther.
They call it "catching up to the dream." Technology is starting to do some amazing things, but also doing some not so good things. Everyone always hears their parents or grandparents say " We didn't have that when I was a kid." The sad part is, it's true. Technology has come a long way since they were younger. They didn't use to have phones, gameboys, Xbox, or anything kids have now. In 2000 they did not have the technology to make a driverless car, but now in 2016. We do, we have all the technology needed. In fact we have too much technology. It's what our society runs on. Driverless cars will be a big hit, sadly.
It's amazing what people have come up with. Touch screens, cars with built-in wifi, cars that can stop themselves if in danger, and now driverless cars. A driverless car would be amazing if you're too tired to drive, but it could also lead to many accidents. People keep forgetting that technology can fail. If that technology fails, you could be in some serious danger. They say the car will have a way to keep you alert. The only way to be alert is if you're in control. People are getting lazy and this proves it. Everyone around the world have been driving for years upon years. They did not have any problems with it. If we were to tell our grandparents about a driverless car, you better bet they would go crazy and give you the speach about "when they were young..." for the hundredth time. I can agree that it's crazy. We should be at the point to let technology control everything. One day it may go to far. By then I hope I'm my grandparents age to give the speach about how it was when I was younger. Technology can be a great thing when it comes to researched. Technology can also be a bad thing because it's taking over and kids now have iPhones at 6 years old. They should be outside with water balloons or playing ball.
Driverless cars aren't a good idea. That's just another thing to show kids how to not be kids. Honestly, let technology stay where its at for a little longer. I'm a teenager and I dread the day technology is all people car about. I know parents that are on their phones more than their kids and their kids would give anything for their parents to ask how their day was or even talk to them. Driverless cars is just another thing that will lead to more and more lazy things. I rather actually have to learn to drive than to have a car drive for me. What's the fun in that? There is none.
I know people will keep making bigger and "better" things, but a driverless car will cause more wrecks than there already is. Which means mor lives that will be taken. Technology fails. Driverless cars can too. | 2 |
The Facial Action Coding System being applied for a student in the classroom can lead to many benefits and improvements in the classroom. This system could be applied in way that help develop the learning and how to teach the student to be more interactive in the classroom. Ways that this Coding System can be used to improve students in a classroom in that the System can determine whether or not a student is interactive in the class, if a student is cheating or lying, or whether things outside of school are affecting/bothering the student.
One way that this Facial Action Coding System can benefit the teacher and student is whether or not the student is interactive in the class. If the Facial Action Coding System were to take pictures of the student throughout the class and see what kind of emotions students are experiencing throughout the class, this could actually help the teacher. For example, if the student shows expressions of happiness throughout the class, then the teacher should continue her approach of learning, because happier student tend to be more interactive in the class. If the Facial Action Coding System were to analyze students feeling disgust or sadness throughout the class, this would be beneficial for the teacher in that this implies the teacher needs to change their approach and if the teacher were to question the student, how and what they (the teachers) can do to allow the students to be more interactive. Dr. Huang says, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," Dr. Huang predicts. "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." (Huang, paragraph 6). This shows that even online learning could be changed using this Coding System and that using this technology would be beneficial throughout different kinds of learning systems and different kinds of students. Also, as I said before, if the Coding System is able to detect students feeling bored or becoming confused in class, it may lead to the teacher changing his approach on how to teach the lesson.
Also, the Facial Action Coding System could also be helpful in that the system could help teacher find cheaters and dishonest students in the class. An example of this is that if the Facial Action Coding System were to detect fear or surprise if a teacher confronts a student on cheating, this will help the teacher on deciding if the teacher actually cheated or whether the student was actually innocent. Also if the student decides to lie and fake an happy expression, the machine would also be able to detect this. This author states the system is able to detect a fake expression when he states, "Meanwhile, muscles called orbicularis oculi pars palpabraeus makes crow feet around your eyes. But in a false smile, the smile is stretched sideways using the zygomatic major and a different muscle, the risorius. To an expert, faces don't lie; thes muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when a "smiling" politician or celebrity isn't being truthful." (D'Alto, paragraph 8). This quote shows that the machine to detect a faked expression and if the student is lying or faking an expression, the teacher will be able to call him out on it using the Facial Action Coding System.
The Facial Coding System could also detect whether things outside of school is affecting him and whether or not the student need help. For example, if the student were constantly to have a sad and fear expression throughout the school, the counselor/principal may be able to ask the student what is going on and why the student constantly is feeling this type of way. The counselor/principal may discover things that could be traumatizing to the student and proceed to get the studen help or aid.
In conclusion, having a Facial Action Coding System may be beneficial for both the student and the teacher in a classroom. With this system, teachers are able to identify whether they should change the way the way they teach the class, if a student is faking an expression when caught cheating or lying in the classroom, and if something is concerning a student outside of school. All of these reasons prove that schools should start implementing this new system into their technology such as video cameras, computers, and tablets. | 3 |
Making mona lisa smile agian was the main topic detail in the story. For one reason it would have to be when they painted a picture of her for acomplishing the process of the model of a great model she smiled for that picture. So that is why that gave her own picture of herself and the computer model picture is a little bit better than the orignal one. The computer model has better details in the picture and it also tightens her lips for the picture. More reason is that they express the emotion of her picture in paragraph 2. In paragraph 7 the experts for the picture tell Mona Lisa how to pose for the picture in the first sentence. Paragraph 8 explains Mona being truthful and smiling in the last sentence. Inside Paragraph 4 it is telling about how the expression of the real face is inside the art of Mona Lisa. | 0 |
Cars are a main aspect in our daily lives, but how would it be if we limited car usage throughout the world? Places would be more environmentally friendly and the streets would be less congested. So why not give it a shot, what could possibly go wrong?
If we limited car usage, it would be easier to get to our destination. Places would be more compact with less space for parking so that stores would be built close enough for us to walk there rather than driving to the nearest mall. Less malls would mean less parking lots, meaning sotres would be built along main streets rather than a highway.
Not only does less cars make it easier to get to the places we need to be, but makes people happier. In the article "In German Suburb, Life Goes on Without Cars" by Elisabeth Rosenthal, Vauban, a city in Germany, limited car usage making their streets "car-free". Making streets car-free made people way happier, since they are usually tensed when having a car.
Limiting car usage would help the environment. Did you know that passenger cars are responsible for 12% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe, and up to 50% in some car-intensive areas in the United States? Imagine how polluted it must be in New York where the main streets are congested with cars!
In the article "Paris bans driving due to smog" by Robert Duffer, Paris bans driving to clear the air. Congestion was down 60% in France. France has a tax policy that favors diesel over gasoline. Diesel makes up 67% of vehicles in France which pollutes the air big time.
Would you rather live in a world full of polluted air and congested streets rather than walking or biking to places way closer and saving the earth at the same time? You decide. | 2 |
In this article about the development on driverless cars, i was persuaded to support the side of the argument that is against driverless cars to be used in everyday life and to take the place of human taxi drivers. I am against the idea of computers taking over human jobs because i just personally do not think it is a safe and smart decision. I think that no matter how hard Google, Nissan, or any other car manufacturer tries, there is absolutely no possible way for anyone to take into consideration everything that can be accounted for when driving at any point of the day. There is no computer system or screen writing that can tell the future and predict what will happen a few miles up the road and prepared to take the actions necessary when they are seen best fit. While i understand that sensors would be placed into the smart-cars, i believe that the human eye and the human neurological system is much more precise, accurate and aware of the many things going on around them when driving on any street that a sensor
may not be able to comprehend in time to safetly steer the passanger out of the way of danger. In paragraph 9, its stated that if the technology in the smart-cars fail or have a malfunction which causes injuries, who would be to blame, the smart-car manufacturers or the human who was in charge of operating a car that is supposed to operate itself? Many questions like this, i assume, are being raised in many different forms on the account of public safety. For the obvious reasons, this is why many states refuse to allow tetsing of the computer-driven cars. Also, it is clearly stated in the traffic laws that "the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times", as stated in paragraph nine. It is only common sense that many consumers of automotive transportation would rather drive the car they have purchased instead of the act of driving being s\done buy a robot whom they as the consumers do not undertand the full properties of. For this and all of the reasons listed above, i believe that we as society are not ready for smart-cars and would like to choose to stay safe and in-the-know of what and how we use transportation. | 2 |
The technology in the passage "Making Mona Lisa Smile" is incredible and is very revealing to the science of emotions. The Facial Action Coding System is also very helpful to everyone and lets us, in a way, "dig deeper" to people's thoughts and emotions. The use for the Facial Action Coding System can be very useful when reading student's emotional expressions and can very easily help the student learn.
This technology can be very useful to not only the students, but also to the teacher in the classroom. She/He would not have to beg or keep asking the students if they understand the lesson or not, but rather have the robot read their expressions to see if they understand the information that is being brought to them. In paragraph 6, Dr. Huang says "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored. Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor". Students would not have to reliey on teachers to make the lesson exciting and fun. The program would make the lesson fun and exciting for the student, which translates to better grades and better oppurtunites for the future of the student.
Classroom computers that read emotions could very easily become the next big thing because of their smartness and ability to adapt to students needs when learning. Many people, whether they are students or not, will benefit from these computers that read emotions. | 2 |
Do you want to live in a place where the air is polluted? Somewhere it is hard to breath. The earth would be a cleaner and more effitiant place to live if we limit the everyday usage of cars. Just think about it by limiting the usage of cars you are saving money and making the earth a cleaner place. It's like the old saying goes "kill two birds with one stone.
Who doesnt like having some extra money in there pockets to spend? I know I definetly do. By limiting the usage of cars people will no longer have to pay a car payment. Or even better have to pay these outrageous gas prices. "In previous bills, 80 percent of appropriations have bt law gone to highways and only 20 percent to other transport." If we limit the usage of cars there wont be any reason to build new highways and the money can go to more important things.
Wouldnt you like to wake up in the morning, walk out side and get a wiff of fresh clean air? Limiting car usage will also cut the amount of green house gas emissions. "Passenger cars are resposible for 12 percent of green house gas emmotions in Europe... and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the united states." Cars are major contribution to the pollution we have in the air today. Having cleaner air makes the earth an all around better place. The people will be happier and the grass will be greener. "Last week paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter per cubic meter compared with 114 in Brussels and 79.7 in london." I dont know of any person on this earth that wants to breath in particulate matter on a daily bassis. "Its a good way to take away stress and lower air pollution," said business man Carlos Arturo. This man is in his right mind. Polution is a major stressor for everyone. Thats why I say by limiting car usage it will make people happier. People act like riding a bike is a bad thing. Its always good to get some exercise and be healthy.
If we aren't using cars thers no reason to have highways. And if we dont have highways then citys will be smaller."But its basic prcepts are being adopted around the world in attempts to make suburbs more compact and more accessible to public transportation, with less space for parking. In this new approach, stores are placed a walk away, on a main street, rather than in mall along some distant highway." Where i grew up everything was close. There were resturants less than a mile away. The mall was a 5minute bike ride. And school was only 10 minutes away. Everythig was convienent. I didnt have to get in the car and hope that it started it up. There was no waiting in traffic. All I had to do was hop on my bike and ride off.
If we stay at the rate we are going now the earth is going to turn in to a place that no one wants to live. So if we limit the usage of cars the earth will be a overall better place to live. If we dont drive there is less polution. If we dont have cars we dont need highways and the our citys will be more compact. And no cars means more money in our pockets. If that doesnt sound like a perfect place to live then I dont want to know what your idea of perfect is. | 3 |
This artical,"The Challenge of Exploring Venus," is the authors way to give ideas on how to help get closer to Venus. the author starts out with how and what Venus looks like. The author also compares Venus to Earth and says "[It's] Often reffered to as Earth's "twin."'
The author's article, "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," has a very good look into why we need to explore and learn more about Venus. The athor even gives ideas/ways for NASA to be able to explore Venus. Examples like "...NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray." This is one of the few ideas that the author gives out.
The whole artical is about how Venus is so like Earth or "Earth's "twin."' This is a good artical to look for if looking up ideas for a essay because it gives facts like "...Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size."
Or facts about the devices that they used in the pass that didn't work like "...simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface..."
To end off on a good term, the author had put in time to let people know that we should think smarter not harder to be able to see closer into what Venus is hiding. The Author says "...Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doughts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." This meaning not to thing to hard and work with what you got insted of thinking of a way to get all information right away. | 1 |
Driveless cars are a rising project that may actually be revolutionary. To begin, driverless cars that are just in beta now, are not totally driverless, but are specifically independent and keep the driver alert. The idea is that driverless cars will improve the safety of the driver than the regular self-driving cars can. With the more so manual cars, the driver has only themselves and maybe anyone in the vehicle with them to be sure to keep a look out and be as safe as possible. With the driverless car, the car is manufactured to sense any dangers and alert the driver to be prepared when should need to.
I believe that driverless cars can be a helping technology for the world. A large fraction of the worlds death come from car accidents. If this project will help reduce that fraction then yes, I am all for the car. Humans can be easily distracted from simple actions like, turning on music, checking their phones, grabbing something from the back or rear seat, or just checking their mirrors. These driverless cars will help sense danger and alert the driver to be prepared for anything that may be coming. Safety is actually a big concern when driving, and I believe that this project may help all drivers come back home in healthy shape.
As a driver myself, driving while being alert and trying not to be distracted can be a huge problem. With the driverless car taking over in small situations like driving in traffic, I can take a break and practice being able to remain aware or prepared to take control for anything only a human can control. The vibrate function could easily be a simple solution from getting in a small accident when back ending a car. If a driver can be easily distracted from simple things, than the alerts on the driverless car can be easily seen by the driver themselves. Especially with drivers that can be distracted on the phone, the in-system safety feature will be a great touch for people who need a heads up when coming into any dangers.
Actually, this type of car would be perfect for the more elderly, who from age, are sure to decrease in hearing, seeing, etc.. With the driverless car, it will be a much safer place for elderly, and those driving along side or coming into these drivers. Human driving cars, can really stop the eldery from being fully aware of the conditions around them, and make everyone vulnerable to such driving. With the driverless car, it would be much easier for the elderly to take control of what they need to, which will benefit everyone on the road.
Yes, I agree that driverless cars should be a high-rising hope to the future of driving. If everyone is driving a driverless car than it'll be much safer, with less deaths a year. I mean for now, human drivers are the safest things being there isn't any advanced technology on the roads, signs, lights, etc, that a driverless car cannot sense. Only the human can work out the words on signs and color of the lights, until everything is upgraded so its compatible with the sensory car, its not the best, or safest. In the near future, I am on the side of driverless cars and hope that everyone agress when presented with the fact that this may be the safest possible idea for man. | 3 |
In this article, "Unmasking the Face on Mars". Many people believe that this imprint of a human beings' face was sculpted by aliens. In this essay, I will provide many reasons why this imprint was just a natural landform that looked identical to a human face.
Scientist have discovered that this "Face" on Mars was just a natural landform. Many people are trying to say that the face was created by aliens. There are many ways that we could prove that aliens DID NOT create this fasinating landform. From far away, this imprint looks exactly like a human face. If you focuse hard enough on this sculpture, you could indentify its eyes, mouth, nose and head shape.
One of the many reasons that this artifact was not created by aliens is because, provided in the article, back on April 5th, 1998, Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time. Scientist studied the artifact from afar, yet, they were still able to see the face. One of the scientist, Michael Malin, and his Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) team took pictures of this marvelous sculpture. As Michael looked closer into each picture, he discovered that the creation was not carved that way in any sort. He discovered that the artifact was just a landform that began to age that way.
Another way to prove this artifact was not created by aliens is, there was no one there at the planet Mars. Scientist looked all over the planet, circled it for a long period of time. There was no foot prints, or any marks on this planet. Many believed that no matter how hard they searched, the solution would come out possitive. No one came and created this impressive land.
In the passage it says on April 8, 2001--a cloudless summer day in Cydonia, Mars Global Surveyor drew close enough for a second look. They had to roll the spacecraft 25 degrees to center the Face in the field of view. Each pixel spanned about 1.56 meters in 2001. The best Viking photo in 1976 was measured out to be 43 meters per pixel. This is when they knew for a fact that this landform was not something anyone else was able to make. This was all just a huge coincedense that there was a face imprinited on our called, "Red Planet".
This is why we should believe that "the Face" was just a natural landform. All facts has proven, that this creation was just part of Mars. There was no clear explaination that an alien would come and create this. If aliens tend to exist, there's no possible way they would know the facial structures of a human face. | 3 |
Should one's taxes go towards funding useless and pointless projects? Most people agree that it is awful when their taxes go into unnecessary and meaningless projects. This is exactly what they are getting with the attempts at exploring Venus. The author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy persuit despite the dangers it presents; however, they do not adequately give reasons as to why the exporation of Venus is viable. The author fails to give reasoning as to how studying Venus benefits humanity, how research is progressing, or why Venus is a better choice than other planets.
The author of this article does not give adequate reasoning as to why studying this planet is prouctive for humanity. Throughout the article, the author claims that scientists want to study the planet because it is most like Earth density wise. While it is most like Earth's density, it is not like Earth in so many ways. Venus is a lot more dangerous and deadly when compared to Earth. It has thick, poisonus gas clouds. It also has a bailing surface. While in the past it was much like Earth, currently is is much different. The similarities between Venus and Earth are very few, and that makes Venus less desirable to study. The author also does not give examples of how examining the rocks, liquids, or metals could progress humanity.
The author does not contribute any major discoveries for the Venus projects. There are several examples in the article where the author states a new idea that scientists have for getting to Venus. However, most of these ideas are not solid enough. There has not been enough of a technological breakthrough for NASA to fund another trip to Venus. The text states, "...not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than three decades." This reinstates the point that, while there have been ideas, none of them are solid enough for a trip to Venus. If no signifigant progress has been made in 3 decades, why should NASA continue to fund the project?
The article does not make a claim as to why Venus is a better choice than any other planet. In the second paragraph, the author states numorous challenges to exploring Venus, but he does not list the disadvantages to studying a planet like Mars. According to the article, both of the planets are fairly close to Earth. At some points, Mars is even closer than Venus. This would make it easier to travel to Mars. It also does not appear as if Mars has even close to the same difficulties that Venus has, making it a safer option. It would also mean that Mars has a higher chance at colonization.
While this article provides many examples on why we should study Venus despite it's challenges, it does not do so in an adequate way. There are many glaring problems and reasonings that are just not addressed in this article. The author does not back up why the planet is so important, it's worth to humanity, or the scientific breakthoughs that warrent the project continuing. Due to those reasons, the author does not thouroughly support their idea that Venus is worthy. | 3 |
Have you ever wondered about the Seagoing Cowboys? I would love to join the Seagoing Cowboys because you get to take care of animals such as horses, young cows, and mules that are shipped overseas. The Seagoing Cowboys is alot of fun because on the way back you get to play fun games like Table-tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, whttling, and more games.
You should join the Seagoing Cowboys because you would have alot of fun and traveling. When you go to places you have never visited before its alot of fun like going to Europe, China, and Greece. You get to cross the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean there you will get to see whales and dolphines swimming in the ocean.
You will have some bumps and bruises along the way but I bet you can fight through it like Luke and Don did. I also bet you will have as much fun as them too and get to know what more places feel like. | 1 |
People have been curious to learn about Venus for decades and now we have a chance to learn more about it. In the passage "The challenge of exploring Venus" the author supports the idea that studying Venus will be worth it by telling us all the benefits of why it will be worth it. In the article he says that Venus could have once been like Earth and dried up and had these physical condtions that it has now. The author tries to tell us that exploring Venus will be worth it because it brings valuable research. The author tries to tell us that Venus is a dangerous and difficult planet to explore but with the technology that we have it can be accomplished. The author tries to tell us this by how he describes Venus.
In the passage the author tells us that exploring Venus can bring very valuable information. For example in the passage the author says that Venus could have been like Earth at one point and that fascinates them. In the passage it says "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system", This quote explains why people would like to study this planet because it was like Earth and it could bring valuable information of why it formed this way. In the passage it also says "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life just like earth", This quote gives us another idea why people would want to explore Venus because it can bring information that we have yet to know about. If we get more information about Venus it can help us understand this planet and learn more about it.
In the passage it says that old techonology never made it to Venus but with the new technology that we have we can accomplish we can study venus. In the passage it says that every mission that we have sent to Venus never made it bac because of the harsh conditions that Venus has. In the passage it says " Each previous mission was unamanned, and for good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours", This quote explains that all the missions that we have sent to Venus never made it back because of the technology that we sent out there. In the passage it says that overtime we have created technology that is capable of withstanding Venus conditions. In the passage the author says "For example, some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venu's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions.", This quote explains how our technology has improved and that now we have a
more likely chance to study Venus and get to learn more about it.
To conclude, the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit because it will bring valuable information and we have the technology to ecplore Venus. Venus was like Earth and astronomers are working on getting us to learn more about it. Astronomers over time have sent numerous missions to Venus but none of them ever made it back but now with the technology that we have our missions have a chance of succeding. The author is fascinated on learning about this planet because it can help us understand why this planet is how it is is now. | 2 |
"When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Heidrun Walter; source 1. For many years, people have depended on cars to take them places and allow them to live a normal life. However, the recent decline in driving and car sales has proven that there are many advantages to limiting car usage. Limiting car usage would help reduce the greenhouse effect, would help reduce smog and other low-air pollution, as well as helping promote aspects of the economy which differ from purely car sales and transportation.
To begin with, the greenhouse effect, a large part of which is caused by cars and their emissions, is endangering not only our environments and ecosystems, but also life as we know it. According to source 1 (In german Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars), passengers car are the cause of 12% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe and also responsible for approximately 50% of emissions in certain parts of the US. Setting restrictions would allow for a decline in emission of greenhouse gases, whcih in turn would better life on Earth. Its effects could be seen all over the world, such as in global warming, rising oceans, etc. Therefore, limiting car usage would have a positive effect, because it would reduce the emission greenhouse gases.
Equally important, the presence of smog, pollution-caused fog, and low-air pollution is also endangering the well-being of humans and other species (health), as well as the well-being of the Earth, so to speak. According to source 2 (Paris bans driving due to smog by Robert Duffer), "After Days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city."; after setting restrictions for five days, Paris saw an improvement in air quality. We can thus infer that setting restrictions regularly would help reduce the pollution and general smog of the area. Placing restrictions would help promote various means of transportation, such as public transportation, bikes, walking, etc. An example would be the one from source 3 (Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota); in this case, a day during which a capital city places restrictions of the use of cars, helps build a campaign, which allows for bike paths, parks, and sport centers to be created and for sidewalks to be repaired. It has also led to restrictions to regulate rush-hour traffic. Clearly, reducing and limiting car usage can not only reduce smog and low-air pollution, but can also help create a more active city.
Finally, limiting car usage may promote different aspects of the economy. According to source 1, the transportation bills (in the US budget) have, in the past, been used, for the most part, for highways. Reducing car usage may allow for certain parts of the US budget to be used for more important and diverse things, such as education, government funding, community life, and many more. Also, limitations on car usage could help conserve resources, allowing people to place their money into different aspects of their lives, like it is explained in source 4. Moreover, the less people can use their cars, the less people will buy cars (source 4: "Demographic shifts in the driving population suggest that the trend may accelerate. There has been a large drop in the percentage of 16- to 39-year-olds getting a license"). This will help people focus on re-building the conomy. Obviously, there are economic advantages to limiting car usage, such as availability for flexibility in the government budget, conserving money, and the rebuilding of the economy.
To conclude, there are various advantages to limiting car usage; limitations may help improve the economy, will help reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, and will help reduce the low-air pollution and smog often found in largely populated areas. | 4 |
If you could, would you want to live on a different planet? Well according to the author, studying a different planet such as Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. In the article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author supports his or her idea well and has many examples to back himself up. The author talks about the similarites Venus has to Earth, the dangers of Venus, and what scientists are doing to make going to Venus a possibility.
Despite the dangers of studing Venus, there are many reasons why it is a worthy pursuit. The author states in the article,"Often reffered to as Earth's "twin," Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too." This shows that even though Venus is dangerous, there are similarites that make it worth while to study, if that means one day having another planet similar to Earth.
In the article, there are many dangers of Venus. According to the text, "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." This shows the challenges of studying Venus because the percent of carbon dioxide and high corrosive sulfuric acid are too much for humans or even some spacecrafts. Another danger is the temperature. Venus averages a surface temperature of over 800 degrees Fahrenheit. That is beyond temperatures at which we humans can withstand. To show the severity of the atmospheric pressure, the author states, "These conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on Earth; such an environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquefy many metals." These dangers may seem like it isn't a worthy pursuit but the author goes on to describe just why and how scientist should pursue Venus. The article states that long ago Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth. To add on to that, today, Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth. This is a good example to support that the author supports his or her claim because it is describing what was and is still good about Venus. The top example that supports the authors claim is what the scientists have already done to begin the search of Venus. According to the article, "NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray. Imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape." This supports the author's claim because despite the dangers of Venus, the scientists have found a way to study Venus at a more suitable, safer way. Maybe not as efficient, but it saves the lives of the astronaunts.
In conclusion, the author supports his or her claim well because of all the evidence and examples that are used in the text. Stating the similarites of Earth show that it is worth while to study Venus when the outcome could possibly be a planet that is like a second Earth. Describing the dangers of Venus but then talking about how the scientists can get around those dangers supports the author's claim because the readers see that even though Venus is dangerous, there are still valuable ways to study it, meaning that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit. | 4 |
In this article there are postive and neagtive about developmenting these cars. The article quotes that carless driver as more safter than humans drivers. From the passge " In reality, Google has had cars that could drive independently under specific condition since 2009. Its better to drive a good car that runs right aslo long enough to get you than breaking down on the highway or middle of the street.
The author says in the article " in 2013, BMW annouced the development of "Traffic Jam Assisant." "The car can handle driving functions at the up 25 mph, but special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel. A good thing if cars didnt need any one to drive it wasn't stop the car accdients. We would still have some types of problems with car and how they run. A car need more than someone driving it. It needs to be looked at and everything else.
I think that doesn't matter how good of a car you have depends on the person driving. How goood of a driver you are. If your car is healthy enough to driver more than 25 miles per hour you in good shape. Driving the way your suppose to can stop causeing car accdients. Evryhting that happends is in the hands of the person driving the car. | 0 |
Exploring Venus
The author supports the idea about study the planet Venus because this article talks about that Venus is a planet that was like the Earth ithasa surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters. But Venus has the hottest surface temperature of our solar system even if Mercury is closer to our sun. The National Aeronaustics and Space Administration (NASA) is thinking about to send humans to Venus, many researchers are working on innovation that would allow our machines to have knowledge of Venus. Venus is the closest in distance and neighbor of the Earth and Mars even that, the pressure is 90 times greater than the any preassure of the Earth and that Venus's temperature is around of the 170 degrees but the air pressure would be close to the sea level on Earth.
In conclusion, scientist are trying to innovate the technology to support the conditions that Venus has, and study more of it, like what kinds of thinks human can find in the planet, or some resources that we don't have, the curiosity of human should not stop by the danger that is outside of our knowledge. | 1 |
I think he does a fantastic job at talking about studying Venus. For one, he does state that yes, of course it is very dangerous studying Venus and it's suroundings due to all of the risky factors on the plantet; Though he talks about how it could be helpful to learn about it. He talks about how it could have been Earth like in nautre, it could bring us to new discoveries, and how we as people are hungry for more knowledge and that Venus is a good start off challenge for exploring.
At first, he states that one,Venus is stated to be called our "twin" when it comes to terrain;Along with stating that,"Venus is the closest plantet to Earth in terms of density and size." He then talks about how Venus would have likey had oceans of water just like Earth, and could have housed life such as us. Clus being that it's terrain is very simair to urs, with moutain and caverns and so forth. Why this is a such a fasinating thing is because we as humans are currently looking for life on other planets and if we had ever found out a way to get samples from Venus, we could maybe find idems,clues, and or evidence that Venus was like our plantet today, that it housed some form of lifeform and would maybe be able to give us evidence that maybe we or weren't alone in the universe.
It also gives us the chance to explore our bounderies with science and technology. We learn that Venus is far from a life housing plantet today. As the author goes into detail. We find that quoted from the article, "surface tempertures average over 800 degrees." "such an environment would crush evena submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our ocean.". We can clearly see that nothing we have currnetly could master the terrain of Venus. He starts going into how this could challenge what we have now and how maybe if we can overcome this bounderie, then we can advance more and more into the field of space travel. Scientists are already coming up with new ways to study Venus without having it's furture people abroad killed in the process of stuying the surface or having the technolgy we send melted upon impact.
The author lastly goes into how not only exploring Venus wil give us insight on what the plantet has to offer, but how the "human curiosity will likey lead us into many equally intimidating endevors."He feels that Venus is a great start to our already curious fasination about space and our neighboring plantets and that it will give us a chance to not be afraid of our limits and the unknown.
Overall, I think he has done a good job of convincing us, the reader, to say to ourselves, "maybe going to Venus isn't a waste of time." With explaining why Venus is a good canidate to study, I feel as the Author has convidenced me to look deeper into the studying of Venus and space travel and why it is important to study Venus. | 3 |
My name is Luke Bomberger and I am in the UNRRA (the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration). In the UNRRA you get to go to different place and help families gets back on there feet form World War 2. You get to bring them food, animals, and more, 44 nation joined together to form the UNRRA. If you are a hardworking person then come join the UNRRA.
'' The cattle-boat trips are unbelievable opertunity for a small-town boy!'' Luke says. I have toured Venice,Italy, a castle in Crete, and marveled at the Panama Canal on my way to China. ''You get to take great trips in the UNRRA.'' I said.
Also working with the animals is a great way to pat the time by working with them. Working with animals is so much fun. You can tell them you secrets , you can play with them, you can just fell in love with an mailman that you can't share everything with them.
Then seeing the smiling faces on the people's faces when you give the food and water it just amazing. It make you feel good inside like a warm good tinglying feel that you can't get from anything else. You just feel like you made a huge difference. It a happiness that you can't buy with money I would not trade it for anything in the world. It gives you a reason to get up in the morning. Working in the UNRRA was a great disison that I have made defintitley not one of my mistakes.
Also when you unload the animals and go and great more it is a lot of fun on deck. You get to play with your other ship mates and play baseball, volleyball, whittling, boxing, read and more it's a great way to pass the time. A great way to bond with everyone on deck.
If you a hard working then you will enjoy this job. You have to work hard to succeed in this job. You will definitely need to be a hard working to like this job.
If you are a hardworking, animal loving, adventure seeker, love to help others, love to be on boats, then this is the job we for you. So come join the seagoing Cowboys program and be apart of the UNRRA. Come help families in need. | 3 |
Limiting cars is a total advantage. So many problems would be solve, for example car accident. In source 1, paragraph 3 it states,"When i had a car I was always tense". This quote means that when you have a car it make your life more complicated. Also it can give you many worries because cars can brake.
In addiciton, believe it or not cars can damages us to. The way it can damage is us by polluting the world. In source 2, paragraph 14 the narrator says, "Beijing, china, which is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world. The significance of this is that the fact that there contries are so full of people driving its polluting the world. It is really good they increase people driving because the smog, which is whats polluting the world is geting bad.
Moreover, riding a bicycle is more covinient then driving a car. In source 3, paragraph 24, the writer stated that, "It's a good oppurtunity to take away stress and lower air pollution. This means that when you dont drive it can reduce your stress. Riding a bicyle is so much better because it evens help you workout. In a car your not doing anything, so its not helping you.
In the end riding a bicycle is not the only oppurtunty you have. On source 4 paragraph 39, it states the fact "they can walk or take public transportation or car-pool with friends. This means that you have alot of chances of going somewhere instead of driving. Those are my reasons why people should not use cars. | 2 |
I have never liked Government intervention on desicions that should be left up to the people who feel the effect of mandate. However, Government intervention on limiting the amount of car usage may prove to be a genuinely good cause. It may prove to accomplish what Government was first formed to do; help shape the world to make it a better place to co-exist, not only with each other, but with the whole Earth.
At fist, it may seem a little crazy in our day and age to actually reverse the climb of our use of technology and innovation, like vehicles. After all, isn't that what we're supposed to do? Isn't it natural to constantly evolve as time passes? Well, cars aren't natural, and they destroy what is.
We are facing dangerous pollution; "After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city" (Source 2, 10). This is alarming to me and many people who care for the Earth. Every day, we're facing new headlines of negativity, and although whether Kim Kardashian's dress fits or not is upsetting, I think we need to focus on more important things and expell the negativity we're always bashed with. We could be developing things that will really make an impact, like new breakthrough sciences on space, medical sciences, and so much more. Instead, "All of our development since World War II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change" (Source 1, 7).
But, there is hope in all this. Already, we're seeing improvements. "The number of miles driven in the United States peaked in 2005 and dropped steadily thereafter, according to an analysis by Doug Short of Advisor Perspectives, an investment research company" (Source 4, 32). Maybe reversing the climb of our use of cars isn't so hard after all; we can hit the ground running.
A reduction in the ownership of cars has also shown a surprising improvement of psychological well-being. In Vauban, Germany, they have almost completely cut out automobile use in their community. "'When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way,' said Heidrun Walter, a media trainer and mother of two, as she walked verdant streets where the swish of bicycles and the chatter of wandering children drown out the occasional distant motor" (Source 1, 3). It sounds like people can be much happier without the constant buzz of cars coming and going. The mention of children also makes me think that it would be a much safer environment to raise children without the stress of parents having to worry if their children would be safe with so many cars about. I think everyone remembers their parents telling them time and time again to look both ways before crossing, and then double check, and then hold their hand, and watch out for right-turning traffic. A reduction in automobile use, in this case, is directly related to the stress parents have over their children when doing something so simple as crossing the street.
In addition, a reduction in automobile use and ownership gives the local Government something more beneficial to focus on, rather than spending millions on re-paving roads; "Parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks; rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic; and new restaurants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up" (Source 3, 28). With this change, local Government can focus on really improving the standard of living; more job openings with more buisinesses, easier travel (despite what one might think) during rush-hour, and a higher level of general safety with less danger of car accidents.
All in all, I think it will be a hard transition to go through if Government does plan to get involved in the reduction of car usage. It's easy to make bad habits, but it's hard to break them. However, if we do succeed, we will see a huge improvement on the environment and the standard of living, and it will be really worth it. These are not views or opinions; these are facts. | 3 |
Despite how many set backs people have had with trying to land rovers and other machines on Venus, people are still trying to find a way to gain further knowledge about the planet. With the temperature being set at 800 degrees Fahrenheit, that could be enough alone for human do die. That would be like going into a fire. Even if they managed to build something to with stand higher heat, the atmosphere is made up of 97% carbon dioxide. The planet is practically burning causing carbon dioxide to blanket the whole planet. The atmosphere still stands at a 170 degree temperature. High enough temperature can metal some metals and most materials or burn them.
The author of this article is obviously drawn to exploring Venus to get a better understanding of it. In the last paragraph it is said that "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." The authoer is just saying that no matter how big the danger is, even if it is risky, we shouldn't be set back by it. Sometimes, somethings are better left unexplored because it could have risks that people don't even know of. If they are somehow able to make a machine that is able to withstand the harsh climate of Venus, they will want to send a person up there one day won't they? But I human most likely will never be able to withstand those conditions even if they were in a machine that protected them. Heat causes things to expand which can eventually expand the metal enough and expose that person to heat and carbon dioxide.
In conclusion, despite how many times people have tried to land rovers and machines on Venus, they will one day find a way to perfect those machines and may be able to send a person up there to gather further research on the planet. | 1 |
In the story "A Cowboy Who Rode the Waves" Luke joins the Seagoing Cowboy program.
In this story it talks about what Luke does on his journey so, this is what were are going to talk about.
In paragraph 1 it says Luke's friend Don Reist invited Luke to go with him to the Seagoing Cowboy program and Luke did not turn the offer down because that was an opportunity of a lifetime.
In paragraph 4 it said that
Luke turned 18 before arriving in Greece, which ment he could be drafted for military service.
"When my drafy board learned that I was on a cattle-boat trip, they told me to just keep doing that for my service."
By the time he was discharged in 1947, Luke made nine trips-the most of any Seagoing Cowboy.
In paragraph 5 there were some reasons he should join the Seagoing Cowboys, and it said "The cattle-boat trips were an unbelievable opportunity for a small-town boy," he says.
"Besides helping people, I had the side benefit of seeing Europe and China.
But seeing the Acropolis in Greece was special,"
he says. "So was taking a Gondala ride in Venice, Italy, a city with streets of water."
Luke also toured an excavated castle in Crete and marveled at the Panama Canal on his way to China.
In paragraph 7 the way Luke's claim supported the outcome of the story.
Helping out on his aunt Katie's farm as a boy had prepared Luke for hard work, but not for the dangers at sea.
On his second trip, Luke served as night watchman.
His job was to check on all the animals every hour.
One rainy night, after making his hourly report to the captain, he slid down a slippery ladder on his backside.
Luke's heart raced as he shot feet first toward an opening on the side of the ship.
A small strip of metal along the edge stopped his slide, keeping him from flying overboard into the dark Atlantic.
He was happy to be alive.
But he could not work for a couple days because of cracked ribs.
My conclusion of the story is in paragraph 9 when it says, But being a Seagoing Cowboy was much more than an adventure for Luke Bomberger.
It opened up the world to him.
"I am grateful for the opportunity," he says.
"It made me more aware of people of other countries and their needs."
And that awareness stayed with him, leading his family to host a number of international students and exchange visitors for many years. | 0 |
Are driverless cars a good or bad thing? In my opinion driverless cars can be a bad thing. These next few paragraphs will explain why I think this and all the cons of the cars.
If driverless cars ever do become a pratical thing one big problem we would have to worry about is the GPS or the LIDAR malfunctioning and the car doesn't know whats going on around it. If something like that did happen and the person in the car was not paying attention the car could seriosly indjure some one or it could total itself. A lot of these cars features rely on the fact that if something goes wrong then person behind the wheel is ready to take over but if some thing does go wrong and the the person is sleeping they could swerve into a semi-truck or a building. One of the biggest problems of this car is the fact that tech can stop working and cause accidents.
Another con of these cars is the fact that they could get hacked by other people. Recently in 2015 two people (with permission) hacked a car that was not even driverless they could control speed,steering,door lockes,brakes,and so on. Imagine what could happen if criminals hacked into these cars they could potentialy kill lots of people by making the cars crash into buildings,cars,and other things. Another problem is human error.
What if something does go wrong and the person is not ready to take over? I have touched on this a bit already but I'm going into a little more detail. Much like normal cars the driver has to be awake behind the wheel ,in the case of driverless cars, just in case they need to take over the wheel of the car. If someone is on a long drive and decide to let the car drive itself but as they are sleeping the cars malfunctions and the driver does not know they need to take over the car and the person could end up in in a ditch or end up crashing into another car or even worse a semi-truck. After these reasons and some others I think that these cars can be a bad thing on the road but only time can tell if thats the case.
Are driverless cars a bad thing? In my opinion yes they can be after reading the artical and looking at the facts i conclude that these cars could be a hazerd on the road. | 2 |
Do you think driverless car should be made?.They should because one reason wil be that it help people get more relax. Another reason is that if a person is drunk and he or she is not good to drive home the driverless car can just drive them home with less accidents. One last reason why they should develop this kind of cars is that it tell you when you need to stop when backing up and tell you when you need to take over driving.
First,People will be more relax if they don't have to be the one driving. They are having both arm free and they can do more stuff. People can watch more around them without having to only focus on what infront.
Second,It will help drunking driving percent go lower. It will help drunk people who is not good to drive get home safely. Driverless cars will bring more less of drunk accidents. It just take them home with them driving.
Third,It help you what coming and what behind you that you can't sometime see. It announces you when you are about to take off and it viber when their is a danger object behind when backing.
In conclusion that reason why they should be developing a driverless cars. It help drunk people get home safely and it help you more free hand in the car. | 1 |
Dear State Senator,
I am in favor of keeping the Electoral College or changing it to election by popular vote for the president of the United States. The Electoral College consists of 538 electors. It is very rare that the winner of the electoral vote will not win the national popular vote.
The U.S Chamber of Commerce and some others agreed to abolishing the electoral college. Because of the quirks of the electoral college, won the popular vote but the electoral college still has its defenders. The electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in return elect the president. Although the electoral vote may be unfair to voters it gives the president a better chance of winning the election. There is a dispute over the outcome of an Electoral Colege vote but not likely for the popular vote. For this is because the winning candidates share of the Electoral vote exceeds it's share of the popular vote. For exemple, Obama received 61.7 percent of the electoral vote compared to 51.3 percent of popular votes for him and Romney, in the 2012's election.
The Electoral college requires a presidential candidate to have a trans-regional appeal. If you are a regional favorite, as Romney was in the South, there is no need to campaign big in those states becuase no region has enough electoral votes to elect president. Therefore, Romney gains no electoral votes by increasing his popularity in states he knows he will win. It can be argued that the Electoral College method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope of carrying their state but, have a less incentive to pay attention to the campaign than they would have if the president were picked by popular vote. Voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a polital preference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election. | 0 |
To think that scientists have been able to program a computer to tell what emotion someone is feeling at that moment is pretty amazing. It would take a lot of thinking and considering to then finally be able to tell a computer when a person has this or is showing that, that they would be showing that certain emotion. However, part of me thinks its not all it is said to be.
Many people these days are very good at hiding their emotions and feelings. They may seem all happy and joyful to someone but on the inside they could really be hurting. Or it may be the other way around. They could act very sad, but actually just be trying to trick someone. If you were to put a computer up to someone like that, I just do not think it would be smart enough to detect that. Think about actors. They are one of the best people to hide true emotions. They are the ones that have to fake being happy or sad or mad or in disbelief. They can trick anyone into thinking that. On the inside though, we do not really know what it is they are feeling. In the passage it says that the computer detects the certain way the muscles in your cheeks are. It also is the way your eyebrows are. If your eyebrows are raised, this can show surprise. When your lips are tightened this can show anger. The computer has to be able to tie all of these things together. What if the person is showing all of these signs and it is their certain way of showing that one emotion. Everyone has their own way of showing each and evey emotion. For example, if a person is angry they do not always tighten there lips or lower their eyebrows. They could keep their eyebrows and lips the same but still be angry. For me, I just do no think that these computers are going to be as accurate as what you may think. Sure, it is most likely going to get a lot of peoples emotions but not everyone. It is talking about bringing it into classrooms to test people in a class emotions. It is going to be the same as doing it on the street. Not everyone is going to show their true emotion and the computer is not going to detect each and everyone of them either.
So for this new technology that these scientists have discovered, I think it could work and I think it could fail. It all depends on how smart the computer is going to be or if it is just too smart. For many I hope it works, but I guess we are jsut going to have to wait and see. | 2 |
By stating that astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may have been the planet like earth in our solar system as it was probably largely covered with oceans that may have had a veriety of life forms like Earth. And can be our nearest option for a planetary vist, given the long time frames of space travel. It is a possible solution to the dangerous conditions of the surface of Venus would allow them to float above the fray. A vehicle hovering over Venus would aviod the bad ground conditions by staying up and out of the way. Of cource, the temperature would still be high at almost 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to the sea level on Earth. The travels of Earth and beyond in the sloar system should not be limited by the dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the edges of our imagination and innovation. | 1 |
I really have to explain this again? This is probably the fifth time. Whatever, here goes. First of all, the fact that this 'face' looks like a face is just a coincidence. If there truly is or was life of Mars, why would this massive rock be a sign of it? The earlies picture of the face is an extremely low quality and blurry image taken by a really old camera. Even in the picture from 1976, to me it just looks like a rock, which it is. Newer photos show the intricate cracks and molding on the landmass, there's even 3D models showing what it really is. There is absolutely no way this is something created by a living being. Just look at the size of it! Well, I guess you can't tell how big it is from the photos, but it's miles long. There is nothing that could exist with enough power to make something this huge, yet leave nothing behind to show us proof of foreign lifeforms. So many consistencies in this evidence has to convince anyone skeptical that the Face is just a rock. Got it? I hope you learned something today. | 2 |
For many years, people have been debating whether or not Mars has life forms living on it. In 1976, NASA came across a strange image. On the side of Mars, there seemed to be a landform that looked like an Egyptian Pharaoh. Many people believed this to be a sign of life on Mars, but it really is not.
If the image from Mars did infact prove that there is life on Mars, NASA would benefit greatly. "Some people think that the Face is bona fide evidence of life on Mars---evidence that NASA would rather hide, say conspiracy theorists. Meanwhile, defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars." Why would NASA lie about this if telling the truth meant more funding?
NASA has tried over and over again to prove that the Face is just a landform; we just won't listen. "We felt this was important to taxpayers,' explained Jim Garvin, chief scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program. 'We photographed the Face as soon as we could get a good shot at it."
The image is showing us that there is a butte on Mars, of which scientists have made many comparisons to the Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho.
Of course there might be life on Mars, but there's no way to know for sure. Blaming NASA for lying about the discovery of "aliens" is just simply illogical. NASA is an organization that explores space and everything in it, hoping to find something they can share with the world. The Face may be a neat discovery to show your kids one day, but it is definately not a sure sign of life on Mars.
People need to stop thinking that they know more than the professionals. NASA is an organized group of scientists who know more about space and science than the common person. They have classified the Face as nothing more than a butte, and it's time that we except that. In the future alien lifeforms may be discovered on Mars; that day is just not in 1976. | 2 |
My Claim About The Author Idea That Studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite it's more important because it's the closest planet next to Earth and it gets more attention then the other planets because it's closer to us humans I jus feel like that's the more important planet & it's value, but my explantion about my claim in this article. In the article it says Venus is referred to as Earth "twin" and it's the closet to Earth & the also call Venus the "Evening Star" its the brightest light in the night sky and a another fact I can say it's in between the Sun and The Earth and I think thats why it make it so special even though Mercury is Closer Too The Sun and in the text it says "Venus has the hottest surface temperture of any planet in the solar system and Venus haves features that are analogous to those on Earth so in my opinon Venus has almost alot of things to do with or deal with Earth. | 0 |
It should be valuable in classromms because it could help teacher, principle , or even school security. It could help techer figure out if they turn in home work or do not know the lessen because now most children don't want to speak up for a question and teacher would not know if they are telling the truth when asking a student if they know the lessen becasue most students would say yes. In paragraph six explain how it would be used
" A computer would recognise when a student is becoming confused or bored". Then the teacher would give the student assistance. It could help a principle like in finding out who did what like when someone gets in trouble and then there is lots of witness and no one speaks up then they would use the device but not only that would be the case we could figure out people who bully others and put a stop to it. It could even help a school security in the way of finding out crimes in school like recently there have been school shootings and if school security or teacher or even principle use that technology around every week we could probably prevent school shooting before it even happens . Counsler could use it to help and understand students better like in depression. | 1 |
Driverless cars have a positive and negative aspect to them. Here are a few positive aspects of driveless cars. Driverless cars have the ability to help a driver when coming too close to a car which is called a sensor. Sensor help drivers know when their to close to a car or any object that may put your life in danger. Another positive thing about driverless cars is that keep improving for example in paragraph 7 the 2013 BMW announced a system called "Traffic Jam Assistants." Traffic Jam Assistants allows the car to handle driving functions like accelerate,steer,and brake by themselves. It allows the driver to know what they need to do to be in a safe postion. Driverless cars can make you think about the "What Ifs," like what if something goes wrong with the technology and it puts your life in danger or others. Who fault is its yours or the cars? Driverless cars have negative aspects to them too because their not truly driverless as said in paragraph 2. Driverless cars may seem like their great but they have disadvantges that you should consider for not only your safety but for others to. | 1 |
With all the possiblities that could happen if drivereless were everywhere on the streets, Driverless cars are a bad idea for the future. Driverless cars are remoted for a computer instead of a human being, Human have better judgement calls than a computer. With this being said, Human are more aware and experienced to their surroundings. Since Driverless cars are powered from technology, there is a very high chance that it can malfunction in use, not be aware of a situation of a traffic issue, and if an accident happens, no one is sure who is responsible for it.
One reason why driverless cars would have a negative impact on daily life is malfunctioning. Driverless cars are powered through technology and technology is not perfect. There is always a chance of malfunction. For example, a driverless car couldn't monuever through a work zone correctly or if there is a traffic stop or issue on the road. Because of this, this could cause more issues for the driver inside the car.
Another reason for why driverless cars are a bad idea is because of laws/law enforcement. One of the main purposes of the driverless car is to avoid accidents in traffic. With driveless cars being on the street driving themselves mostly, this would mean that there would be new state laws enforced on driveless. Since this idea is new to our generation and is developing, laws will constantly change to make sure the driver is safe and is driving/watching with caution. If a driver is in the driverless car and the car gets into an accident, who is in the fault? The driver or the car? Also individuals could argue their case of that the car caused an accident instead of them. If this were to happen, car manufacturers could be penalized from many different cases.
Last reason why driverless cars are a bad idea for the future is because of characteristics and human judgement. Companies can say "The combination of all this input is necessary for the driverless car to mimc the skill of a human at the wheel." but the vehicle is not human at all. The vehicle is operating off of sensors and a gps to locate where it is going. In life, a human has better judgement on how to solve a real life situation than a computer. An experienced human driver can read a road sign and operate a vehicle from what the sign warns them of whats ahead. A computer/sensor can not do that. Also human driver knows what to do if their is an emergency like if they need to pull over off the road or take a detour. A computer/sensor can not do that.
In conclusion, Driverless cars would have a negative impact on the future of humans. There is always a chance of malfunction. Also new laws will be added and changed constantly. Another reason is for liability in the case of accident because no one will be sure for who should be held accountable. | 3 |
The author states that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. How well does this author truly show this? He shows how we can see Venus from afar but we don't know what it is like close up, it's often reffered to as earth's twin which is very important, and we also need to get up close to Venus even if there is risks.
People from earth can see Venus just by looking up at the right place. The author states, "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." So from afar we can see it as a big "light" in the sky, kind of like a star. But Venus is not a star it is a planet. What he means by this is that you can see how bright Venus is from afar but what you can't see what it is really like close up. But if we dont know what Venus is like close up then how do we know it is Earth's "twin"?
Venus is often referred to as Earth's "twin". According to the text "The Challenge of Exploring Venus", "Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the clostest distance too." The passage also states, "Venus may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth." So if Venus is so much like earth then why can't we send a spacecraft to Venus now? Well we tried and it didnt workout. There was a spacecraft sent unmanned because the spacecraft could only survive the landing for three hours. Venus today still have some features that are close to ours on earth. Could this mean it could become safe sometime? Doubtful. According to the passage, "Venus is a planet that has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountians, and craters." So why do we need to get so up close to Venus even though it causes risks?
Wouldn't you like to know whats on Venus even if it could be dangerous? I beileve this is why the author suggest thst Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it precents. You may wonder what thoes dangers are. According to the passage, "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. On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet." So why should we still go? NASA is finding a possible solution to the hostile conditions. According to the text "NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray. Imagine a blimp-like vehicle hoveriing 30 or so miles above the rolling Venusian landscape. A vehicle hovering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground confitions by staying up and out of their way." It also states, "Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans." This means we would be able to see and get more information about Venus.
I conclude that because of all the new findings that this is why the author supports the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit dispite the dangers. If Venus is like Earth does that mean that what happened to Venus might happen to us? This is why we need more information. The author shows us how we can see Venus from afar but we don't know what it is like close up, its often reffered to as earths twin which is very important, and we also need to get up close to Venus even if there is risks. These are very important to know when deciding weather it is a good idea to travel to Venus even with the dangers. | 4 |
I am not against the vaule of using this technology to read students emotional expressions. I am not against it because it is cool and something different. Also the fact knowing a computer can read your emotions is kinda cool. "if you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow."
I think that they should not change their current screen to a different screen. I say it should not because maybe that person is bored or confused. But you never know if that person is doing something they have to be looking at or working on. For example say i am playing a game. But i have to do a review over the game fro a project. That probably would make me frustrated because the computer think im bored or confused and have an ad appear.
Again, I am not agaist the idea of using this technology to read students emotional expressions. "A clasroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored." It is acually cool to know that a computer know how you feel. Once again i do not feel like a computer should change the screen just because they see you not happy. | 1 |
School can be very boring to most kids. The endless notes and lessons from teachers, and the countless hours staring at a computer screen just isn't fun. Prof. Thomas Huang, of the Beckman Institute believes that every student's computer should have the ability to read its owners facial expressions to change the way it is being taught to benefit the kids! Schools around the nation need to look into getting computers with the ability to read their kids facial expressions if they want to see an increase in education.
Being able to read one's face seems like a far fetched idea, but it is very possible. Dr. Paul Eckman is the creator of the FACS, or the Facial Action Coding System. Eckman has stated that the FACS can read six different basic emotions. Happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. Beckman also states that each emotion is paired with characteristic movements of the facial muscles. "The facial expressions for each emotion are universal," states Dr. Huang. With that being said, if schools could put a version of the FACS into computers in their school and study the way their students handled the lessons, they could modify their lessons accordingly.
Dr. Huang and colleague Prof. Nicu Sebe are looking for more ways to interpret the importance of communication between humans and technology. With the technology that the FACS provides, Huang realized something. He realized that if this was put into schools, it would change the way lessons were taught. Huang states "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored. Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." He proceeds to state "Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication. So computers need to understand that too." Huang is trying to interpret that having these in the classroom would make learning more enjoyable and more affective.
There have been times in school where teenagers across the nation don't understand a lecture, and are too scared to ask the teacher in front of the whole class. If a system like the FACS was included in computers across the U.S. school's would see an increase in not just education, but an increase in attendance as well. If we want to take steps to advance in the educational field, then these are the necessary steps to take. Get new technology in the classroom! | 3 |
Senator of Florida
Im sending you this letter to address you on that i am in favor for keeping the Electoral College. Having the reason being that, this process will be in a much acelerating rate of speed and less of a process to go thruogh. A majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the president. This entire process consits of the selection of thr electors, A meeting of electors sit and vote for the president and also vice president. This in my opinion is the best way on to vote for the president.
The Electoral Eollege consits of 538 electors. Our state's entitled allotment of electors equals the number of memebers in its congressional delegation. One for each member in the House of Representatives and an additional two for the senators. This will allow better flow of votes around the House of Representatives. Under the 23rd amendment of the constitution, District of Columbia is further more allocated 3 of the electors and is to be treated as if they were one of the state. For the purposes of the Electoral College, the reason for the word "state" does refers to District of Columbia.
Every candidate running for the president in the state does has his/hers own group of electors. These electors are generally chosen by the candidate's political parties. This gives the Electoral College a better way of choosing electors for the party. Just like every presidential election, they will all, take place every four years on the tuesday after the first monday of November. I my self as a well and loyal citizen and resident of Florida can also choose the states electors when i go and vote for president. Because when i do vote for my candidate i am voting for my candidate's electors.
Almost every state has a "winner-take-all" system, this will reward all electors to the winning presidential candidate. This one of the main reasons i do take in favor the Electoral College as a way to vote for the president. And then after the presidential election is done, the governor prepares a "Certificate of Ascertainment". Then by it listing the ever single one of the candidates who has ran for president in the state of Florida. Along with the names of their respective electors who has been on their side during the whole process.
Then here by saying all i needed to say about the Electoral College and what has been brought to my attention of details of the Electoral College. Hopefully, some others will take notice for what i have sated here before you. They will to soon realize what in great inportance this is to you and many others to come for. Hope you have good day and a very well sleep tonight and my sincearest thanks for you being able to take the time and read the letter.

The driverless cars seem to be a big topic right now. They are yet another example of how our world is changing. 150 years ago we didn't even have cars, and now we have cars that almost drive themselves. This is a giant leap for us. It astonishes me to think that not that long ago people had to walk or ride a horse to get somewhere. This seems like the best invention ever, right? Like any new invention though, the driverless cars have their pros and cons.
Driverless cars could change the world. There's so much having driverless cars could do for us. It would allow for a lot safer driving conditions. A majority of accidents are said to happen because of distractions, These distractions include things going on in the car, outside the car, and inside your head. Emotions tend to have a huge influence on how we drive. With driverless cars you eliminate a lot of the multitasking that goes along with attempting to drive and deal with these distractions. With driverless cars you would only have to grab the wheel and take over in complicated situations the car can't handle. The car would do most of the driving for you, which lessons the likely hood of you having an accident because of the distractions. Having driverless cars would give just about anyone the ability to drive. Driverless cars would allow for a lot easier way for transportation. You just hop in the car, program the gps, and hang on for the ride.
With all these pros to having driverless cars people might not notice the cons of these cars. The driverless cars will eliminate a lot of accidents that occur everyday, but it could also give rise to a whole new set of issues.
According to the article, "safety is best achieved with alert drivers." The article also tells us, "traffic laws were written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times." So when an accident occurs, who takes the blame? Is it the manufacturer who programmed the car? Or is it the driver who let the accident happen?
After considering the pros and cons of this car it's easy for me to see that this car is a terrific idea. Yes, we are looking at a lot of issues with seeing who's at fault in the result of an accident. However, if we could work it out and develop some guidelines for who's at fault during an accident we'd be looking at one of the world's greatest inventions.
In conclusion, I stand behind the driverless cars. I believe that the pros out weigh the cons in this situation. If we just figure out a system for deciding who's at fault in an accident, then we have a something could change the world of transportation. | 3 |
Technology to read students emotions in classrooms are not valuable to me. I think using money on things like this is stupid. There are plenty of other things this money could be used on other than knowing students emotions. Maybe Thomas Huang can Find a way to help teachers teach without boring their students.
When looking at paragraph 7 it is telling us how to simply do this at school while looking in the mirror. People might try using your home PC but you computer cannot handle complex algorithms. You might want to grab a partner to do this with. The passage says,"In fact, these are the instructions for a face that looks happy." If the teacher used the Facial Action Coding System they would have to stop in the middle of class to have the computers on. Also read all the emotion just for them to know that they may or may not be entertaining their classes enough or that a student may be confused, thats why students need to raise their hand more. I really dont think its necessary that they have this in a classroom. This would be great to try if the teacher doesn't have anything plannned for the day. In paragraph 9 it says doing this experiment can make you feel slightly happy. Text says," Theory of Emotion, moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but also may even help produce them." In chapter 6 it says that it can make computer-animated faces more expressive for things like video games or video surgery. Its a good thing because most human communication is nonverbal, incuding emotional communication.
As I said earlier, I do not think this software is valuable in classrooms to read the emotional expressions of students. It may be good in other industries but not this one. I really think that this would be a good use for video surgery or games. I would be looking towards that. | 1 |
Is there such thing that a computer can define our emotions? How can a computer software define our emotions? Now in days, the technology is getting bigger as the years pass by people start to know even how to make a car drive by themselves that is one of the things we do not hear everyday. The computer sowftware that can define our emotionsis now that people use in work or even at school use.
Imagine the world with the computer software that can read our emotions that will be very amazing. For instance, you can probably not tell the emotions on somebody face when you see them they may be smiling right at you, but what if they are feeling another way you may never know what they are actually feeling that is why i think the computer software is a good idea to read people emotions. As the time goes by people are getting tired of showing the same feeling they might already started to think that they are not getting no where with what they are feeling. Of course, that everybody know how to describe what happy and sad looks like, but what if they are not feeling none of does emotions what if they are actually nervous or scared and there is no way that you can help them. The computer software stores alots of energy different kind of specific emotions that people can use to tell other people's emotions.
The calculation in the computer software in human perform is the same why that might be because, not everybody used it why we need to use it they may ask themselves and yes that is a good question well that is because that way you can even hlep yourself if you are smiling, but the results say a different thing for example, that you are sad in reality you can push your self to not be sad anymore that is one good way to see if you need to change your emotions.
Describing the computer software is not really hard to do it you can just say it shows us how you are really feeling even doe if you are smiling. They might get scared for the momnet but, that is one way also to help other people. | 1 |
If I was a scientist
for NASA and I had to support the argument that the face on Mars wasnt alien, I would start by reasearching more pictures and start getting information to figure out does it have any form of life. What was all there and have anyone been there before many different facts. I would reasearch has any human life been to Mars.
then I would have to do reasearch on aliens to figure out are aliens real or is there any legit reason to believe that aliens exist or have they ever existed and has there been any forms of life ever been on mars ever. Then I would have to research more pictures of Mars to see if there are more similar photos of faces or humanly shaped objects on Mars. To figure out or not if there could be chance that there is any proof of different kind of speices or and type of living thing that could have lived on Mars recently. Another thing that I would have to do is get a more clear shot photo to actually see what it may actually could be because it says in the article that the picture was tooken in April when it was snowing so I would have to recieve a more clear photo maybe when its warm more around summer time, since last time it was around cold in the winter time then compare the two photos to predict what it might have been besides it already being predicted as it being an alien face. To support my argument that it isnt a alien face. | 0 |
Imagine getting into a car and having it drive off with nobody in the driver's seat. People's lives in the hands of a driverless car. Something dangerous but non the less cool to invision. But there's still many things to consider when thinking about a driverless car becoming a reality.
Driverless cars are still being developed and are in a stage that can be quite helpful. In the stage they're in now the cars can only drive in certain conditions and are mainly just assisting the driver, not taking over their job. "... This means the human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situatuion requires." In this stage the cars are doing some of the work, but overall, it's still up to the driver to keep themself and others safe. In the stage they're in now, it almost seems safer than a full on driverless car.
Owning a driverless car or going out in one still doesn't seem one-hundred percent safe. Technology isn't full proof and has failed many people before. It's unpredictable at times. Altough the idea seems really cool it might not be the safest thing with everything considered. "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault- the driver or the manufacturer?" This is another great point. How would you be able to tell who was at faut in this horrible scenario?
Altough driverless cars have been evolving and worked on since around 2009, they're still very new and only legal to be tested in a few states. If driverless cars did spark and become popular, there would have to be new laws written and things to be taken into consideration. Laws take a while to be put into affect and it's not garunteed to go through, not everyone thinks driverless cars are the safest idea.
Whether people like the idea or not, driverless cars are contining to be tested and are most likely coming in the next few years. It's amazing that technoly has come this far but does it really need to be on the road? Are driverless cars a good safe idea, or a crazy unsafe one? Only time will tell. | 3 |
The use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable. The artice is saying that the new techonology can determine ones emotions due to their face muscles. This new techonology being able to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable because it could let a teacher or someone know that something is wrong and could help them. Also, it is valuable because like the article said if the student seems confused or unintrested the computer could modify the lesson. Another reason why it is valuable is because it could help with classes that you're taking.
Letting the teacher know that something is wrong with the student can be a great help because they could give the student recources to comfort the or even just try to talk to them and see if they need further help. If a student is not feeling well it could impact their school work and potentionally hurt their grades. With this new technology it can possibly prevent the student emotions hurt their school work and grades. With that being said this technology can help improve students in a classroom.
As I stated in my introduction i said that this new technology can help the students learn better. The way this software works is that the computer that the student is using in the classroom wil can have complex algorithms to determine the students feelings. Now if the student is showing a confusion facial expression it could modify the lesson as if the teacher was to do so. if the computr determines that the student is confued or bored and it modifys the lesson it could help the student by actually teaching/ presenting something that is going to be able to teach them more effectively.
This new software can help som student with the classes their taking. It could help with art, drama, music, speech class. The way it could help with art is that being able to determine emotions can benefit how the artist protrays what they are making by knowing what feautures dtermine a persons emotions. for drama clas it can benefits also by helping with facial expressions on stage or when ever they are preforming. In the article it states that a "renowned drama coach, had his actors carefully reproduce smiling and frowning as a way of creating these emotions on stage."
Keeping in mind that some student would not want their emotional expressions being read due to their privacy. But if some student were to agree on being read if could potentionally help them academically and emotionally.
In conclusion, the use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable. This new techonology being able to read can help because it could let a teacher or someone know that something is wrong and could help them. Also, it can help the student if they seem confused or unintrested the computer could modify the lesson. Another reason why it is valuable is because it could help with classes that you're taking. With that being said it can be very valuable in a students classroom to help benefit them in many ways. | 4 |
The author does not support the idea enough that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers. Compared to their reasons on why studying Venus is a worthy pursuit, they gave a lot more reasons on why it is dangerous. They greatly showed how the conditions on Venus are far more extreme than anything humans are used to. On the other hand, they explained very little on how it would benefit us and showed how it's mostly just out of curiosity.
The author provided many, many dangers that the pursuit of studying Venus presents. The text states, "These conditions [on venus] are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on earth... additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking land on its surface." The author seems to thoroughly describe the dangers of visiting Venus by describing the high temperatures, the high atmospheric pressure, and other things humans are not used to. They also point out how Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system, and how no spacecraft has survived a landing on Venus for more than a few hours. This is all a lot more information provided on the dangers compared to the information provided on the benefits for studing Venus.
The author explained very little on how studying Venus is a worthy pursuit. The text states, "Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors." The author always seems to make a vague statement on how Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers but never provides any evidence. The author says the planet would gain us insight, but doesn't show how. The second part of their statement about human curiosity seems very careless; the author sounds like he/she is just curious to have more insight on Venus. The text also states, "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth." This statement could have been the start of a good reason on why Venus is a worthy pursuit. Venus could possibly be inhabited by humans in the future. However, the author does't explain this; they just begin to compare Venus to Earth.
To conclude, the author did not effectively support the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers. They provided many of the dangers, showing how humans would not be able to handle the conditions. On the other hand, they did not thoroughly explain why Venus is still a worthy pursuit despite these dangers. They gave very vague statements but provided little to no evidence. They should have built on their reasons to show how the dangers of studying Venus don't matter as much as compared to the benefits of studying Venus. | 3 |
In the 1960's driverless cars seemed more as like a futuristic fantasy rather than reality, but in todays world, they just might be the next big thing. In the late 1950's, General Motors created a concept car that could run on a special test track (Ph. 3). Although this was the first concept of a "smart car", the roads would need an unrealistic upgrade that would cost extremely to much. Today however, we have the technology to make real driverless cars. The toll of human error has been evident in the auto-age as more accidents happen every year. The use of driverless cars, or at least almost driverless cars, will be benificial to the future as less accidents will happen, preventing more casualties.
Today, many cars all across America and the world have road assistance and antilock breaks, but this still gives drivers the oppurtunity to make a mistake and cause an accident. For example, BMW created a system called " Traffic Jam Assistant". The car is capable of handling situations at speeds up to 25 mph. This is not bulletproof though, as the human driver still has to be alert when navigating through construction and accidents. Developers though, are getting closer to having real driverless cars. Tesla has projected a 2016 release for a car capable of driving on autopilot 90% of the time (Ph.10).
Technology today makes creations and inventions capable of almost anything. We have had extreneous experience with sensors and radar, two things that are almost required for a driverless car in the upcoming future, to make one. In the 1980's, more than 30 years ago, automakers used speed sensors at the wheels in the creation of antilock brakes (Ph. 5). With all of the experience gained, we now can make real driverless cars. Infact, we all ready have. Google has had cars that could drive independently under specific conditions since 2009 (Ph. 2). Their cars have driven more than half a million miles without a crash, but roadblocks and problems do lie ahead for a true "driverless car".
Traffic laws are written with the asssumption that the only safe car has a human driver in contral at all times (Ph. 9). As a result, many states restrict the use of driverless cars on the roads. As driverless cars are a relatively new idea, restrictions will be diminished in due time. Opposers of driverless cars have also made the claim that liability will possibly be the dimise of driverless cars. The discussion of whether or not the human in the seat or the car manufacturer will no doubt be on the minds of lawmakers, but they would quicky come to the conclusion that it would be the driver's fault, since the driver bought the car and knew what he/she was getting into. Manufacturers would also make a liability agreement required in order to driver the car.
Although driverless cars will not probably be 100% driverless, the creation of almost driverless cars is not far down in world history. The use of driverless cars, or at least almost driverless, will be beneficial to the future as less accidents will happen, preventing more casualties. | 4 |
Most people would think it wouldn't be cool to have a technology that would read student's emotions. On the other hand most parents and other indivauals would think it is a good idea. It's a new way of making live easier for the students. Most parents and teachers think the schools should have it in their buildings.
They should have it in schools because it will give the teachers an idea on how their students emotions are. It should be in schools because not all the students tell the teachers if they understand it ir not this will tell them. Most students would not use the communication with their teavhers and if they have this maybe this will help them when they don't understand it. It would better the students for then again it can also hurt them.
It can hurt them by not communicating with their teacher. Most students would say oh well you never asked if i understand this or not that way the schools should have this. It's also going to be a new change to see what works and don't work. Changing it up a little bit would be a good way to get other new ideas. If the schools start using it maybe it will even be a bigger sale if the marjority of schools use it.
The passage says it could "modify the lesson" meaning it could be a lesson. This computer can tell when a kid is getting confused or bored meaning just lost interst in it.
Saying like if the student is scared to say out loud that he or she didnt get it. If the student lost interst in it then the teacher could maybe find a way that it wouldn't be so boring for that student. This doctor Huang thinks it a very good idea for schools and other things.
What would other indivauals say about this do you know. The only bad thing would be the money unless the school get like a discount or something like that. Maybe it can turn your childs mood a new whole way and a new out look on things. Most parents and teachers think the schools should have it in their buildings. | 2 |
