I belive we should have driverless cars for many reasons.

I believe that we should change the system to "election by popular vote". If we were to change the way we elect our president im sure citizens would be more pleased with the over all outcome. People vote on who they think is best fit to represent them and give them the best over all outcome. When using the "electoral c...

Has anyone ever actually seen an alien? I believe we have no reason to believe this supposed 'face' was created by them. The 'face' is just a natural landform because I can't even pick out the face, aliens are most likely not even real, and it looks like a natural build-up of sand or dirt. I can't even see the face in...

The majority of people use some sort of gas transportation such as a bus or a car.

While it is incredible that Prof. Thomas Huang has developed this mechanism to read anyone's emotions, it should not be implemented in the classroom.

I think that studying Venus is really worth a try due to the opportunities that we might be able to study its surface.

The use of this techonolgy so called Facial Action Coding,is not valuable at all. As technology may be advancing that doesn't mean it can't fail us.

It's not a secret that we as humans use cars to get places. The mall, the grocery store, school, work.

The idea of the computer monitering your facial expressions is not the best thing. There could be people who do not want their facial expressions to be read.
