This is going to be an argumentaive essay about the contriversy wether or not the face is a alien or a natural landform. I am really going towards why it is much more like a natural landform than it is a alien. I mean it could be possible, but I'm edging towards the more realistic view point.
Ok so the artical clearly states that Micheal Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original vikings photos. When the picture was analized it was proven to be a landform NOT a alien monument. Of course the stuburn ones wanted to believe the opposite,because that's what they do. So they looked again for the the sake of proven the hard to belive ones wrong. They got an even better picture this time, but found more information. The martian is equivalent of butte or mesa which are landforms common in the American West.
So with this said, if it wasn't for the stuborn ones they never would of went back
and found this piece of valuable information. So there you have it do you belive it now or do you want me to go get a ''better''picture for you. | 1 |
i belive that a electoral college COULD work if you get a proper way of selecting so it stated that there are 538 electors meaning 538 ideas and this is just facts the majority of people who are there are white not saying that thats wrong but what i am saying is that we need equal races so lets say three presidents are to pick from one is white(democratic) the second one is hispanic (republican) (more specificly mexican you will see why thats important later) and the third is african american(republican) so the 538 electors lets say 421 of them are white and 90 are african american so now total is 511 and now lets say 27 are hispanic (all races of hispanic) so I AM NOT saying that all the whites are gonna pick the white one. and all hispanic ones are gonna pick the hispanic ones etc. but i am saying that since 421 are white there gonna have a thing in comman with the white president why because there white same with all the races in the college but more specificly the white ones because of there past so i sugggest that we have and equal or close to equal amount of all races so americans korean mexican irish german polish chinease ghana etc. etc.
now like i said in the first paragraph the hispanic one in mexican now why that would be important is that since he is mexican a lot of ignorant people are gonna say he cant be president he needs to be born in merica well that is true but the thing is he is from america but his ethnicity is mexican so realy i should have refraised that he is mexican american meaning that the little loop whole has just been closed so he can be president but for the people who are still dumb and cant exept another race you still have hope if you look on the map of american the electoral college with the sencond most electors is in good old texas with 38 voters (the most goes to cali but thats not important) and what does texas have well one of the highest rates of mexican imigrants one of the highests numbers of kkk members you know racist stuff so yea with texas having one of the most i dont see an colored president in a long time i still have now idea why another guy cant be friends with some one cause there colored life is like a box of crayons one color the people like more and all the others they hate cant we all just be color blind so now im gonna hit you with some truth because the states with some of the highest rate of blacks and hispanics also have the lowest number of electors im not saying that the goverment said colored people there lets give them 5 voters its like that because the states with more black and hispanic people are also some of the poorest states in america so its not all the goverments fault good job america.
so how do we fix that well i say that the goverment should send money to not only to the state itself but to the citys in them so give some money to detroit and chigago without them we wouldent have the worst team in the nba (just kidding) and a team that had a legend so i also say take the number of states with more electors and transfer them to the smaller ones so take 10 from texas and give them to main and 15 from cailfonia and give them to all small state know what im saying or nah.
so on to the next thing that they need to fix so it says that the most populer vote becomes presidet seems pretty legit exept for the fact that its not legit at all if have some one that has done so much like serve in the military fought in afginistan or somthing like and he can do oficial stuff then he deserves it but if a actor runs for president some one like eddy murphey vs obama whos gonna win starts with and e and ends with a y who is it eddy murpey he will always win how do you think arnald shwazinager became govener of califonia and i know he had so skill if office but still a old man who uses steroids vs a middle aged man who know alot about being a president so i say we should get rid of the populer vote and pick the one with skill we should let the three best run america for one month each and see how each one does at the if we lose evrething well then they weren a good president now were they so yea it could work. | 0 |
The idea of limiting car usage is a outstanding plan. Because of this idea it helps out everybody in a way so that there are good advantages. By limitig the usage of cars the air will have less polution and that means better air for us to breath. In france diesal makes up 67 percent of vehicles, witch is definately not helping the polution problem. If people use their cars less that means that they save money on gas. Ovcourse the proble is the smog in that country so that os why they want to limit the driving. Like it says over the past two decades they want to make the cities denser, and better for walking in the suburbs. In the suburbs make i more compact and more accessible to public transportation with less space for parking. All the development since world war II has been centered on the car. David Goldberg said a fast growing coalition of hundreds of groups in the united states ... who are promoting new communities that are less dependent on cars. That will be a good thing because it is an advantage of less polution in the atmosphere. So that is all of the advantages of less car usage. | 1 |
The author suortts both ideas it the text he thinks that its smart that people whant to go visit Venus but at the same time he thinks that its very dangers to go too venus. Venus is like earths twin venus haves that same shape, and they even think that venus youse to look like earth. Venus just have diferint was of being its salf like the acid rain, hot temperatures, and even its crazy weathers. I still think that trying to learn about differient plants is not right becuses us as people doint even know adout are oun plant. I still think that we have a lots of time till earth becomes like Veunus.
In the text the author is trying to tail us that " Venus is the closest planet to Earth is terms of density and size,and occasionally the closest in destance too. Earth, Venus, and Mars, our other planetary neighbor, orbit the sun at different speeds." Are people in NASA havent even found a way to land in Venu. From the text
"Each preious mission was unmanned, and for good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours. Maybe this issue explains why not a single spaceship had touched down on Veunus in more than three decades." Even for a perion to be there is too dangrues the planet's surface temperatures average over 800 degrees Fehrenheit. I even think that that we could not live there in Venus cuse of the climates. From the text shown that "A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets venus. Even more challenging are the clouds of highly surface acid in Venus's atmosphere."
Venus's is plant is formed just like earth But just with too much on it. strate from the" Beyon high pressure and heat, Venusian geologgy and weather present additional impedimments like eruoting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to prodes seking to land on its surface." Some scientist think that venus has youse to look eart and that it youse to support various forms of life,just like earth. From the text" The planie has a surface of rocky sediment familiar such as valleys, mountains, and craters." Thats how the scientist think that venus is just like earth.
If im still living when there finaly find a way to arive safly to venus I would love to go. NACA is working on a way to to git to venus and to land on that plant safly. | 2 |
As you know, as a scientist we come across many misunderstandings. The "Face" on Mars is one of them. This landform was created by natural causes; saying that it was created by a differrent lifeform is irrelavent. It's irrelavent because NASA would have a higher budget than we do now to explore further, if you take a look at the pictures the three are very distinct, and the third photo didn't show any other landforms, pyramids, houses, or lifeforms.
NASA's budget is assgined to them by the new discoveries they find in outter space. If there were alien life on planet Mars we would've told the public, federal government, etc. because we want that extra money to discover more about it. Why would just hold on to that secret. We took a pictures of the landforms lets see how they turned out.
As we compare the pictures of the same landform there are many differences. The 01' picture we took has multiple cracks and craters in the monument. I'm pretty sure the aliens wouldn't bulid a monument some place it could get beat up at. The 76' and 98' pictures were captured with not too good of a camera, causing it to have the appearance of a face.
In 2001, we had created a camera with the highest camera quality we were able to obtain. We researched and studied on the camera itself to see that each pixel was 1.56 meters instead of 43 like the other cameras. We came to the conclusion that we would be able to see any other landforms, lifeforms, ships, etc. ,but all of the above are absent.
In conclusion, there was not any life shown on the picture, so it's irrelavent that aliens created it. We visit our monments. Why were there no aliens visiting thiers? One answer, they didn't bulid it. | 3 |
The Challenge of Exploring Venus
The author supports this idea of studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the danger it presents, because he himself has human curiosity that it should not be limited by danger to learn new things in this planet. In paragraph eight states"Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself,..". He wants to find new things even though there are risks to get the information for Venus. In order to do that he has been working with NASA, has infromation on Venus, and some same features.
The author has been working with NASA because he want to know more about this sister planet Venus. He like exploring new things even though despite the danger ahead. They have tried sending unmanned on pervious missions on Venus because they knew humans or living things can go to Venus yet. In paragraph two states "Each pervious mission was unmanned, and for good reason, since no sapcecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours.'. This shows that it is not safe to go on the planet but how to get study examples to research it.
NASA has already some infromation on Venus to start with on thier research. Since the spacecrafts won't last at least few hours on this planet surface. Also Venus has the hottest surface even though knowing this it still helps improve the next spacecrafts to last longer by doing experiements on thier labs. In paragraph seven states " NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus. For example, some simplified electronics made of siliconcarbide have been tested in a chamber simulating...'. Venus has a thick atmosphere that is hard to breath like if you are in deep sea level. Humans won't be able to breath in that type of envormint unless you have oxygen on you.
Venus has similliar featuers like on Earth that makes you to go Venus yourself. The astronomers are fascinated by Vanus is Earth like plane in the solar system. It has some rocky sediment, valleys, and mountians that we have on Earth as well. It will help NASA so much if they got a better closer look at Venus and would help scientifcally productive. In the paragraph four states "Long ago, Venus was probably coverd largely with oceans and would have..'. This planet is nice to go and get the detailes and right information.
It is risky to study Venus but it is a planet yet to be discoverd by new things inside of it. That means it is better to make a better spacecraft and improve the mission with the knowledge they already got to explore that planet. He has been with NASA, having small information, and Earth like features.This helps or make the author to explore more in that planet. | 2 |
There are many reasons self-driving cars are not possible at our current level of technology, one of them being the safety concern. In it's current state, it is also basically useless because of how little it can actually do.
In the article, it makes more than one point about how the self-driving car can be a hazard to the passangers and the other people driving, "If the technology fails and someone is injured." This is one point about how it can be dangerous. The risk of someone being injured because someone does not want to drive is not worth it in my eyes. These types of cars should not be introduced until there is a near guarentee that they will not harm any civilians or other drivers.
Another point that is made in the article is that there is already this type of technology but it can only "... handle functions at speeds up to 25 mph, but special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel." What is the point of having the car drive itself if you have to be at full attention, with your hands on the wheel? Once again we don't have the technology to make this practical. If anything this makes it harder on experienced drivers, they're so used to driving the same way for their entire life, and they will have to learn a different type, even though it's not necessary.
In conclusion, the self-driving car should not be introduced until it is proven to be better than humans driving themselves. It should also not be introduced until there is a near guarantee that it is safer than humans driving themselves. | 2 |
Do you think driverless cars are a good idea? Yes or No? Driverless cars can have positive effects and negative effects. The cars could change the world or they could not end well.
Driverless cars are not a good idea at all.
The reason is, because the cars really are not fully driverless. if you are in a constrution zone or near an accident the car has you take over. The car isn't full capable of handling driving in a situation like that. The car lets the driver know when they should take over. So the question is " If the car is driverless how come you have to take over in certain situations"? Why can't the car handle it all on its own since the car is smart? For the driverless cars to be very smart they need a bunch of sensors.
My postion on driverless cars is I think they are a bad idea. They can't fully handle all situations. Also if the person behind the wheel is drunk or worse and they come upon a bad accident " What will they do"? " How will they act"? Since the car can't handle itself and the driver is incoherent I dont think the ending result will be very good at all.
First off, the driver of the car must stay alert at all times and be ready to take over if needed. If there is an accident or the wiring or technology fails in the car.
" Who is blamed"? "Do you blame the driver or the maufacturer"? Even though the traffic laws would be changed, according to the driverless cars there would be new laws put in to cover liability in a situation if there was an accident. Also there are special sensors that make sure the driver keeps his hands on the wheel.
Do you think driverless cars are a good idea? Yes or No? Driverless cars are not a good idea at all. My position on driverless cars is I think they are a bad idea. First off, the driver must stay alert at all times and be ready to take over if needed. | 2 |
Having a driverless car in the future would be very useful. The automakers are working diligently on making smart cars more effiecient, but why would we use a smart car that would still need assisting? It will take a while for automaker to get the car to drive without a human assisting them. Driverless cars can be very challenging and may cause issues for people.
Driverless cars still needs a driver on alert while driving. They need a driver's human skills for work zones and accidents. It is going to be difficult when the driverless car alerts the driver. The driver would probably get bored waiting for the alert. Some would probably text while the car is in control or sleep. Automakers should find new way to make the driving experience more fun and safe at the same time.
Having driverless cars may have some benefits. Using the driverless cars for a public-transport taxi system would use half of the fuel we use today. They would be more flexible than a bus. Driverless cars are useful when the driver need someone or something to take over the wheel. Sometimes, the driver will need sleep after a long drive. Automakers are working hard on making the car more efficient and fix any problem that could happen in the future.
Is it really safe to use driverless car? What if it breaks down on us or malfunctions? At an accident, Woud the driver be at fault or the manufacturer? Many problems will occur. In the ninth paragraph, it says, "Most driving laws focus on keeping drivers, passengers, and pedestrian safe." Driverless cars will have some safety issues. The car still need a lot of work to be on the road.
The driverless car still needs improvement. It will cause many issues. It still needs a driver one alert. Driverless cars should not be on the road until it is very safe and efficient to use. | 3 |
My postition on drivless cars is that i personaly dont like the idea because what happens if one of the driveless cars mess up or glitch while on a busy highway or just on a regular road and someone gets hurt whos to blame the comapany that made the car I would feel more safe if i was in control of the car not only because I could control it if I messed up butt if someone else messed up also I could steer out of the way.
Also what if you wanted to go offroad with it and you cant becasue the car is not programed for off road so it would take the fun out of driving I think. Another reason i dont like it is that so far on the driverless cars is that the speed isnt very high as of now and if your wanting to get somewhere as fast as possible the fastest your driverless car can go is up to 25 mph and that wont get you anywhere fast. Another reason is what happens when new roads are made not everyone is going to want to update thier car just so new roads can be programed into it so it knows where to turn at and how fast it should go on the new roads. Also what if a person is walking and desideds to jump out in front of you and run to the other side of the road or there are animals on the side of the road and the car dosen't see it so it dosent know to slow down and make sure nothing is gettting ready to jump and run across the road.
So the only way I would think a driverless car would be a good idea would be if it also let you take control at any moment you wanted not just when the car needed help incase of construction work; also if the people making these driverless cars took full responability for wrecks caused by their cars and if they could possibly make them faster and made them very, very safe. | 1 |
Today, technology is advanced enough to create cars that are semi-driverless.
However, humans demand more.
People want driverless cars for maximum efficiency.
However, letting cars drive for themselves is dangerous and the development of driverless cars should be halted.
Robots are quite common today.
Semi-driverless cars are no exception.
However, if a car was to become fully driverless, it would be considered a robot.
The artificial intelligence operating the car would be like a brain, making decisions about where to turn and how fast it needed to go.
On the surface this seems practical.
No more drivers would be needed, and robots are more coordinated so driving would become a lot safer.
This is not true.
Infact, if drivers were to dissappear due to the appearance of driverless cars, there would be even more problems than today.
According to the three laws of robotics, robots are not allowed to harm or kill humans.
Because fully independent artificial intelligence have not yet been developed, this law has not come into play yet.
If an automatic car was to be developed, then the law would act upon and restrain the robot operating the vehicle.
For example, if a robot driven car was to crash and kill people in the car, the law would be broken.
In paragraph 9, the author discusses how if technology fails, both the driver and manufacturer would be to blame.
Now with the driver being the robot, more complications would arise, proving that independent cars are dangerous.
Danger also comes from another place, being other people.
The robot can prove to be safer, being immune to distractions taking place in the passenger seats.
Without a human driver, the car is able to be controlled from the outside.
If a hacker were to take control of a robot operated car, the passengers inside would fall victim to the hacker.
Computer development has shown to be advanced enough for a hacker to easily get access to the movement of a car, including locks, breaks, steering, acceleration, and pretty much anything that the robot would be controlling.
This danger is already a threat to society today.
Smart cars can be hacked due to them relying on GPS and other wirelessly connected sources.
100% human dependent cars cannot be hacked due to the vehicle being disconnected to outside sources and dangers.
The final major danger with cars being independent is that despite being an automatic system, its reaction speed is too slow.
In paragraph 4, LIDAR is explained as a rotating sensor on the roof that uses laser technology to generate 3-D models of the car's surroundings.
This is all assuming that everything is stationary or slower paced.
If an animal were to suddenly jump in front of the car, or if a pedestrian was to trip and fall infront of the car, it would crush the obstacle.
Despite being an intelligent piece of equipment, the car's sensors would not be fast enough to calculate the sudden appearance of an obstacle.
The car's artificial intelligence would need to gather, process and use the data all in a split second.
This is also assuming that the brakes work well enough and can stop the speeding car in time.
Whoever or whatever was on the street would be crushed before the car had enough time to stop itself.
This also goes back to the danger of driverless cars killing people, except this time it is a danger to the car's surroundings.
Legal issues woud arise, and the robot would take the blame.
However people have the tendency to hurt other humans so the manufacturers would be blamed for not having a better sensor.
The development of newer sensors and faster computers would increase the cost of the driverless cars and decrease its practicality.
Driverless cars would create many issues and potentially be the number one leading cause of death in developed countries.
These three points are just some of the dangers of driverless cars.
The development of this kind of technology is practical but risky.
However the development of new automobile and transportation technology will not yield to its dangers.
People are willing to sacrifice and explore dangerous things if the outcome is tempting enough.
Advancements and changes will take place, and soon driverless cars will take to the roads. | 3 |
Dear Senator,
I would like to argue in favor of keeping the Electoral College. I believe that having an Elecotral college vote helps the President have a greater chance of becoming elected. This process also makes it a fair game of becoming elected for President.It's not only about the President though. When you vote for a presidential candidate you're actually voting for a slate of electors.
As I mentioned before, having and electoral votes makes it fair game for everyone. It states that the Electoral College requires a presidential candidate to have trans-regional appeal. This means that the presidential candidate cannot get votes based on the region they are from. No region has enough electoral votes to elect a President. He gains no votes by increasing pluraity in states that he knows he will win. This results with unlikely success of the President.
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 Electoral College avoids the problem of elections in which no candidate recieves a majority of the votes cast. When no candidate wins a majority of the vast cast, it causes complications in the presidential election process. That's when the Electoral College steps in and prodices a clear winner.
Sure it can be argued that the Electoral College method of selecting the president may not be the best way of geting potential voters for a candidate, but the way they do things makes it fair game. It keeps the system balanced. The Electoral College is an established compromise in the Constitution brought on by the Founding Fathers. It's something original that I think should live on instead of being taken away. The Electoral College should stay.
Signed, PROPER_NAME | 2 |
We as Americans have the right to vote for who we want to be president. American citizens should be able to vote directly for the president, not for a state of electors. This is why we need to abolish the Electoral College. It is unreasonable, unfair, and unreliable to the people. In recent times, the Electoral College has been known to have made mistakes on purpose and on accedent. The Electoral College system that they have going now is very unorganized and needs to be changed. It is about time that we change the way our citizens vote for our president. This is a huge deal to our country considering the fact that the president is one of the most important people in the country. We as American citizens should be able to trust that our vote was for the candate they chose.
First of all, lets discuss the past issue that have happened withe Electoral College system. The incident in 1960 with John F. Kennedy was a huge disaster. As said in source 2 "...The Louisiana legislature nearly succeeded in replacing the Democratic electors with new electors who would oppose John F. Kennedy." This is a perfect example of how the Electoral College is a misused way of voting. They tried to basically sabatage Kennedy's election. What about other problems that also occur with this system? The voters can't always control who their electors vote for. The confusion is a big key factor in the situations also. voters can easily get confuse about the electors and they will accidently vote for the wrong candidate.
The peoples rights. Dont they have a right of who becomes president? They should. The Electoral College is taking away from the excitement of getting to make a huge decision on who will run the country. When a teenager finally becomes eightteen, what do you think is on their mind? Freedom. And part of getting their freedom is getting to vote for their country. The people should have the right to vote for whoever they may choose and trust that it went for the person they chose and not to a state of electors to vote for them. It's in the facts that more people prefer to have a direct election. The people think that it is unfair to their rights and we all believe that it is not the best way to decide who runs our country.
Organization is a key factor in this country. So why aren't we showing it? The voting system that we use to this day is very unorganized and has many flaws. The Electoral College is much to confusing of a system that we need to be using. We need to change our system now while we can before we hit another mistake. We need to take advantage of the freedom that we have in this country of ours and make a difference. We can change this system so it is much easier and more reliable to vote from. The people want it, so it's about time that the government stands up and agrees with us on that point. We can change our disorganization.
Our country needs to change to election by popular vote for the president of the United States. I have discussed the problems our country has faced with Electoral College system, and hopefully it changes your view on what really is the right and better thing to do for our country. Voting is a very big deal here in America and it is one of the ways it shows we have freedom. The voting system would be much more organized if the system were changed to direct vote by the people. That is the right way. Its about time we change the system for the better. | 3 |
A new technology called Facial Action Coding System claims it can scan a face and tell how much of each emotion the person is feeling. There are some negatives and some positives to bringing this new technology to personal computer. The author of the passage seems to only give a positive outlook on this system, when all aspects should be explored. The negatives to this technology would not be the end all be all of this product, but they should definitely be taken into account for the creation of a better system.
The Facial Action Coding System is a computer software that scans a face and recognizes what emotions are being displayed on the face. It uses codes to see which muscles are being used to move a face. For example there are certain muscles to show anger like the orbicularis oris which tightens your lips. The system uses these muscle movements to determine which emotion is being displayed and/or felt.
Although there are a few negatives to the FACS, it could potentially be a useful product. The passage says that the Facial Action Coding System could be used for relevant advertisements and a more engaging classroom effect. This system could be very helpful for ad agencies that don't know how to reach their public. If a computer scanned a face the instant it sees an ad, researchers could figure out whether or not to show an ad again. For example, an ad for cat litter with a picture of a cat could potentially produce a smile or a look of disgust depending on a situation. If the person doesn't own or like cats their face would not show happiness, and the ad agency could show a different ad. This system would also aide online class courses. If it was constantly scanning a person's face, the creator or teacher of the class could modify which sections seem to bore a student.
The system may be helpful, but the negative sides to it should be also considered. Because the FACS can only guess what someone is feeling by what is being displayed on a face, it could potentially be inaccurate for people that are prone to hide their actual feelings from their faces. The FACS only does an outerscan, it never sees what is happening in the brain. A scanner of the brain would be more accurate, expecially for people that can not or do not want to show their true emotions. Another possibly negative fact about this system is that it would need to constantly be scanning a person's face for accurate readings. This could become innacurate if used for a very long time. If it were used for an online course, the system would need to be running during the entire class, and the person could get distracted and show emotions for the distraction that are not relevant to the class. This is also potentially invasive, especially for a company using FACS to show relevant ads. People might not want to constantly be scanned for their emotions. There would be a paranoia of always being watched and unless the software company promises the facial recognition would never be used for anything other than for the ad display or for fixing a class, people would feel uneasy.
It seems evident that the author of this passage is giving the readers a positive look into the new Facial Action Coding System, but it should be taken into account that there are negative aspects to this software. People may not always want to be watched for their emotions, and the system could become inanccurate. Although it seems that the passage points towards effective and positive outcomes, the negative criticism should be taken into account and modified for a better FACS. | 3 |
Using drivless cars in the future would not a good thing because, it is pointless to have a car that drives itself but still needs the assiant of the driver when the road gets compilcated, and it is a safety issue.
In paragraph seven it says, "The car can handle driving functions at speeds up to 25 mph, but special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel. In fact, none of the cars developed so far are completely driverless. They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents. This means the human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires. This necessitates the car being ready to quickly get the driver's attention whenever a problem occurs." With this being said the driverless cars are practicually usueless because there is no need for them to be driverless if the driver still needs to be alert and aware when to take over.
Paragraph eight reads, "We have ti interpret the driving fun in a new way." "Some manufacturers hope to do that by bringing in-car entertainment and information systems that use heads-up displays. Such displays can be turned off instantly when the driver needs to take over-something not available to drivers trying to text with a cell phone. In this way, the in-car system is actually a safety feautire, and safety is a big concern." This means that if the driver is disctracted and the neccasry warning senesors where to be turned off, the driver can end up a terrible accident.
There for having driveless cars may come with postive perk but the nagitve perks do out top the postive. | 1 |
For years, people have been telling others that the natural landform on Mars is actually a face created by aliens. I as a scientist believe that it is also a landform coinencidently in the shape of a face. There are multiple reasons why I and many other scientists feel this way.
We have tried multiple times to photograph this landform and have succeeded. It appears to majority of us, that it is not more than a natural landform. We have took many precautions into making sure that it isn't an alien artifact. For example, it's like the man on the moon. It just happened to be there naturally and created itself over time. You are of course entitled to your own opinion, but that doesn't make it a fact.
In conclusion to this theory, it is not more than just a theory. We are not hiding anything from the world. Something like this I'm sure we'd be more than happy to share with the rest of the world in our amzing findings. We could be wrong, that is so. But, we're pretty positive it's just a landmass. | 1 |
Limiting car usage has so many benefits to give us. It can even lead to saving the world. We've lived without them before so it's not the end of the world if they are gone for even just a day.
First of all, cars are responsible for pollution(not all) in the atmosphere such as the greenhouse gas emissions. According to Source 1, experts say, is a huge impediment to current efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes....Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe... and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States. That is basically saying that having cars as often as we use them is harming the earth through their gas emissions. That cars are responsible for a certain percantage in the pollution.
Additionally, let us see about the few polluted cities or capitals such as Paris. They almost achieved a new record for pollutution! But the way they are handling it is quite successful. "On Monday motorists with even-numbered licese plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffere a 22-euro fine ($31). The same would apply to odd-numbered plates the following day." (Source 2)This gives them a chance to reduce significantly the pollution by half if the license plates ratio were balanced. They are taking turns in car usage and lowering pollution and it's a great bill or law to help reduce the pollution. They needed that because according to Source 2, last week Paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter (PM) per cubic meter comared with 114 in Brussels and 79.7 in London, Reuters found. That's a lot of pollution they have been carrying. But " The smog cleared enough Monday for the ruling French party to rescind the ban for odd-numbered plates on Tuesday."
Furthermore, there's more beneifts of reducing or limiting car usage. In BOGATA, Colombia, they have a Day Without Cars and it's starting to spread to other communities as well. They want to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog and those that violates will face $25 fines. This sounds like a very great and effective idea. Many people are participating in it and not only that "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)
In conclusion, limiting car usage will give us a greater advantage not only in our businesses but also our air. Reducing pollution is just the start of it, imagine many more benefits are there to come if we keep up with these conservative efforts. | 3 |
I think that driverless cars will be a good idea becasue youo have these people that think their the best drivers ever and the go out and cause all kinds of wreck. Then you have other people that are just trying to go on a nice drive and theres idiot drivers that get mad because they are going to slow or their car is to nice to be in the country or they arent real country folk so they shouldnt be out there there are just all kinds of people that have road rage and i think once we do get driverless cars or if we ever do that most of that road rage will stop there minght be a few fights here and ther but not many. Another plus is we wont have people that when they get pulled over they get into a high speed chase and ingure other people that will be my concern is how they will work police cars in with the cars and what if there are drugs in the car will it recanice that and call the cops itsself or notify the police itsself or are they just not going to think about those parts of the car.
Another thing to think about is price how much are they gonna be are they gonna be 10,000 or are they gonna be 1,000,000,000,000 thats my main concern is how much are they going to be because if they are 10,000 an average human could afford it but if they are 1,000,000,000,000 only a few people might be able to offord them and how are they gonna keep them from being stole or robbed are they gonna put like a high tech security system on them or one like they have now just a car alarm are you gonna have to start them with a key or will they start there will there still be sporting events that involve cars or not there are so many questions you can ask because this idea and its like are they ever gonna release those answers to the public or not. Thats just my point of view on it you may have a diffrent point of veiw or someone esle may have a point of veiw on it and they think I'm wrong but thats my point of veiw on it. Thats all i have to say about this topic so yeah bye. | 2 |
"Making Mona Lisa Smile" in the story the author descrbes how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions. Is this technology to read emotinal expressions of humans wrong? How do they make this technology to read people's emotions? Who's idea was this?
First, I think reading people's mind's by this technology is wrong. First reason is it's none of our bussines. Also reading people's minds is something that is totally creepy. This technology can detect anyone who's happy, sad, angry, and disgusted. Everyone has their own personal secrets that he or she doesn't want to reveal their feelings. They need to invent something to help people around the world.
Second, this idea came from Professor Thomas Huang, of the Beckman Instatute for Advanced Science at the University of Illionois, working in collaboration with Professor Nicu Sebe of the University of Amsterdam. Dr. Huang and his colleague are exports at developing better ways for humans and computers to communicate. Both of these professors want's to know of their invention to the world to earn credit. Do they even know what their doing? Both professors test's the painting of Mona Lisa of her emotions. Mona Lisa results is 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry.
Then, this software technology has a constructs a 3-D computer model of the face. All 44 majors muscles in the model must move like human muscles. Movement of one or more muscles is called an "action unit". Then Dr. Hunag relies on the work of psychologists, such as Dr. Paul Eckman, creator of FACS ( Facial Action Coding System. Using video imagery, the new emotion-recognition software tracks these facial movements in a real face or in the painted face of Mona Lisa. By weighting the different units, the software can even identify mixed emotions ( as in da Vinci's masterpiece). Each expression is compared against a neutral face (showing no emotion). The new computer software stores similar anatomical information as electric code. This technology can read people's emotions by raising your lips at the corners of your mouth. Then squirt your eyes slightly, to produce wrinkiling. Holding that, raise the outer parts of your cheeks up, toward your eyes.
Finally, in conclusion it's bad to read other personal thought's. Both professors makes a computer to see emotions in people's mind's. Finding the new technology is rare in the United States. The new computer is not an ordinary science teacher grading your work this is a professional professors inventions. In my opinion these professors should make a new invention to change the world and by not reading people's minds. | 1 |
I support the authors idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. Venus has proved a very challenging place to examine more closely but also a very intresting study. In the article in paragraph 2 the author states that "no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours " which is why not a single spaceship has landed on Venus in more than three decades because of all eruptions and the high pressure and heat.
Venus is a very challenging place to study and also dangerous. Venus has the hottest surface temperature, which is also hard to study. In paragraph 3 the author states "Venus has the hottest surface temperture of any planet in our solar system" which causes beyond high pressure and heat it also says "Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting volvanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface" which is why is hardly impossible to land on the planet Venus. In the other hand astronomers belive that Venus was once covered with oceans and supported various forms of life. In paragraph 4 the author says that "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system".
In conclusion the article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" was very intresting and very well detailed about the Venus worthy pursuit despite the dangers. Even today Venus still has some features that analogous to those on earth. They are still finding better new ways to study more Venus. | 2 |
dear state senator i think you should change to election by popular vote because its worked for us in the past no one can cheat on the voting. those are just some of the reasons we should change to election by popular vote as a voting system.
first of all we should change to election by popular vote. because its the easiest way of voting because if we keep using the electoral college according to source 3 its un fair because states that are bigger get more attention than smaller states. and also source 2 says "its official the electoral college is unfair outdated and irrational the best arguments in favor of it are mostly assertions without much basis in reality".
second of all election by popular vote is the fairest way of voting because unlike the electoral college tjhe popular vote would make the number of votes per state even so not on state gets more votes than another. according to source 3 "the number of electoral votes depends on the size of the state in which you live so the means if you live in a small state your state gets less electoral votes than a big state". and in the electoral college some people chaet and vote more than once giving that president an even bigger chance of winning.
the final reason i think we should change to the election by popular vote is its more efficient think about it would you want a voting method that depends on the size of your state i mean what if you lived in rhode island where you get 3 electoral votes versus texas which has 38 electoral votes but with the election by popular vote it counts which canidate has more votes and based on those numbers thats who gains presidency.
in a nut shell the reason we should use the election by popoular vote is its more efficient more fair and easier to decide whos president. so mr senate please read this and consider it i think theese are all very good reasons we should make the change. | 2 |
You should join the Seagoing Cowboys program! You should join it because you get to help others and animals. Also it not just a plus for them it is one for you too. The plus is that when you travel to help others you get to see the ocens all the time and beautiful sights! It is an opportunity of a lifetime if you ask me! If I was old enough I might what to think about being a Seagoing Cowboy!
Luke's claim was a great claim! Instead of working in a grocey store and a bank he became a Seagoing Cowboy! Even himself he said, '' It opened a whole new world for me'' He helped animals and more when the World War Two happend. He recovered their food supplies. He went accrosed the Atlantic Ocean 16 times and the Pacific Ocean twice to help people affected by World War two, that would be a sight to see.
When you are a Seagoing Cowboy you have a responsibility to help animals and more! But it can also be dangerous crossing the oceans all the time. If you want to be a Seagoing cowboy you have to be brave and courageous! You need those traites because if that was your job you would'nt want to be nervous or afraid all the time.
Luke had too be brave he had to have a great outlook to kept doing what he was doing, And you can too! His point of veiw was strong. He went on 9 trips and that is the most of any Seagoing Cowboy! He also had a cargo of 355 horses plus enough hay and oats to feed them! He even cracked his ribs, but he is ok. Over something small but he was brave enough to keep going because he cared for the animals and he loved his job.
You should become a Seagoing Cowboy for sure! If you like animals and travling this is the job for you! You can have so much adventure you would'nt even know what to do with it! This generation needs to carry on with the Seagoing Cowboys! To help animals and more! One day we will need your help more than ever! We need this to keep going with the Seagoing Cowboys! He even know himself it was an opportunity of a lifetime. | 2 |
I am for driverless cars although I do see some problems that could be adressed when it comes to notifying the driver and ways to keep the driver alert. Also the safety of the car needs to be exactly the same like a regular car. But other than a few "kinks" here and there I think that this could be a great thing for the people who can but can't drive.
My position on driverless cars. My position on driverless cars is that I'm for them although they could have some issues. Like in paragraph seven lines twelve and thirteen I think that the cars should have more than a announcement about them needing to take the wheel. For example what if the driver falls asleep what would happen if the announcement doesn't wake the driver up? It would more than likely result in an accident or even a possible death. Also the price worries me I think the price will be too high for several to afford it making it hard for the people that could really use it to be able to.
There are multiple good sides to this though for example teenagers can drive safer because the car does it for them until they need to manualy take over. For elders who can't see very well or can't drive anywhere this would help them to get to places they need to go for example the grocery store and the pharmacy and the doctors. People would get around much easier and much more efficiently.
So in conclusion there are more good sides than bad ones. Im all for the the developement of these cars. I hope they get out soon. Although I am worried they will be so expensive that barely anyone will be able to afford them. | 2 |
Do you think that the Unmasing face on Mars was created by akiens? Well my friens joe that i work with believes that the face on mars was. Joe and I are sciemtist for NASA, and we are here to discus the Unmasking face on Mars. So my friend Joe believes that the face on Mars was created by aliens. So here are some reasons why he believes hat he does on this theory. Joe said that "Scientist figured it was jst another Martin Messa, comnmon enough aroung Cydnoia, only this one had unusual shadow that made it look like an Egyption Pjaraoh.
Joe and I have different belifes, although I agree with him on this one. Only because, there are already Martin Messas around Cyndonia. But there aren't any like this thats has ever been seen before. I also think that all theses UNmasking face on mars are created by aliens or martins only because, the name Martin Messa. The Martin must come from the word Martian so they must have some typr on relation going on.
Also at the same time i do not believe Joe becuase we have no proof or eveidence that this was really created by alines. Only beaucse we have no proof that aliens exsist either. I quit frankly think that this all rubish, but tbis is also my opianion i could be wrong. No one has proof of anything that has happened on mars.
But then at the same time i still do agree with Joe, but at the same time i do not beileve with Joe. I know you are wondering why i am saything i agree then turn arounf and say i don't . Well once again here is why i do agree and don't agree. i agree becuase it make scence that out of nowhere there is an unkown figure of a face on mars, but at the same time we do not know who did it. So we jump top conclusions that it ahd to be an ailen . But we have nop prrof that an alien is rwal and we have no proof that any of thid is real.
But these are just my opinion on hoe i feel aboiut this so i could be wrong i could be right, but unti we find out we have to continue to make obsevations on this until we find out the truth. So yeah that is how i feel on ths situation. | 1 |
Can you read other poeoples emotjons? Chances are you can. Even if you don't think so, you make thousands of obserbvations about other peoples emotions every day. These observations are based on superficial movements in the face of whomever you are obseving. There is techninoly called FACS (facial action coding sysyem) that can do the same thing. It has been suggested that this program should be integrated into schools to help better educate students. The ideas is that if this program can read a students emotions and realy that back to the teacher in real time, it can help the teacher educate that student in a way that is personalised to his or her emotions. I think this is an invasion of the students privacy and I do not think that this technology is appropriate in the classroom.
As stated earlier, this program is a way to read peoples emotions, and wether or not that is good or bad is another discussion. Focusing on education, this technology would give teachers complete access into their students minds, and it would take individuality away from the student. By not allowing the student the option to keep his or her emotions secret, you strip that student of his or her intellectual freedom. Your emotions are your property and if you don't want people to know what you are thinking that is your right. By stealing the students intellectual freedom you would put that student in a very bad place both physically and emotionally. It is an invasion of the privacy of the student.
Not all students can be tought. Some people just aren't fit for school and wether or not you can read their emotions is irrelevant. Some people just are not meant to be in school.
If a person who is completely disengaged from school, gets their emotions read by this technology, and the teacher tries to change that students disposition towards school it could end up making the sutuation worse for that sudent, and the teacher.
In conclusion, reading students' emotions is not the answer to better education. A technology that can estimate the emotions of humans is a dangerous concept, and could cause anarchy if not preperly implemented and school is not the place to introduce this technology. Eventually the world may be in a place where mind reading programs, and advanced technologhy may be a part of our education, but that time is far in the future. | 3 |
The advantages of limiting car usage can be a great way to be protected from the dangers that are found within the driving experience, and support the amount and less usage of greenhouse gas that can destroy our atmosphere.
The andvantage that can be found with limiting car usage can help to be protected from the dangers found within driving. Source 1 explains how Heidrun Walter feels "When i had a car I was always tense. Im much happier this way." Walking and other ways of getting around, other than cars can help people go to places and have that advantage, as source 3 implies "leaving the streets of this capital city eerily devoid of traffic jams." our technology has been growing at a quick pace and as source 4 mentions " Likewise the rise in cellphones and car-pooling apps has facilitated more flexible commuting arrangements, including the evolution of shared van services for getting to work." All of these new ideas has led to the conclusion that cars are not needed since all these second choices are present.
The Advantage of limiting car usage can help and support the amount and less usage of greenhouse gas that can destroy or atmosphere. Source 1 concludes " Experts say, is a huge impediment to current efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes... Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emmisions in europe." Cars are the main reason why our earth can be in danger from all these gases. People need to follow what businessman Carlos Arturo said "it's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." Some countries such as Paris has all ready taken this advantage, source 2 mentions, "After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city." If people have tryied this change in their lives, others such as one self can too.
The advantages of limiting car usage can be a great way to be protected from the dangers of driving, and support the amount and less usage of greenhouse gas that can destroy our atmosphere. Taking a break off of the car can help our lives be much more safe than sorry. Our lives could be much more easier and not only will we be safe but our planet earth as well. | 3 |
Have you ever thought that maybe a president didnt win because of popular votes or electoral college? I have and of course it was unfair.
first and foremost, votes come close to almost wins a lot. but in my opinion all wins are fair game. if u lose at something that big then its no one elses falt. you have to be a great leader and thrive hard enough. if not then u shouldnt be able to blame electoral college for it or even popularaity votes.
to keep moving, both votes are supposed to be in your favor. so if u still lose from one or the other you probably just sucked. you have to actually try for president. you cant just expect to win because of elctoral college or popularity. you should plan on an even distribution.
to wrap up, i believe that you can not base a win or lose in electoral college. you shouldnt depend on either but should be able to use both. if you blame your loss on the system then you suck. | 0 |
Driverless cars look like they will be used on the roads in the very near future. I am for the idea of driverless cars because i believe they are safe and are capable of more than just driving people around.
I believe driverless cars are more safe than actual cars that are driven today. These driverless cars have the capability of something more than just driving on their own. Driverless cars make sure the driver is paying attention to the wheel at all times, as stated in paragraph seven. In paragraph seven it is said that none of the cars developed so far are completely driverless. This means that the cars can "steer, acclerate, and brake themselves, but are all designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills". It is also stated that manufacturers are considering installing cameras that watch the drivers to make sure they are remained focused on the road. The statement "while the driver watches the road, the car watches the driver" means if the driver were to fall asleep, the car would alarm the driver that they are in danger and they need to pull over to rest.
I think that driverless cars seem safe, and maybe even safer than cars on the road today. Sensors are very important in these cars and thats what will make them so safe. The technology being used in the cars are important as they will help the car to mimic the skill of a human at the wheel. Information of the sensors can cause the car to brake or reduce power from the engine. This passage states many times that the cars are being made to alert drivers when going through tough situations such as accidents or roadwork on the roads ahead. A manufacturer "has developed driver's seats that vibrate when the vehicle is in danger of backing into an object", which will also help the driver to be aware of their surroundings and will reduce accidents.
These new technologies are definitely going to be beneficial in acting as a human would drive or to keep the driver alert. I believe driverless cars are a very good idea in order to keep people safe on the roads. | 3 |
Overtime technology has been growing more and more , affecting all of us in both good and bad ways. Many have abrupted our minds and cause issues because some appliances arent necessary or they are not ment for some particular people.
In the story "Driverless Cars Are Coming", it tells us important information that new made auto cars are useful for us and what bad effects might come amoung us. I believe that this story is a negative impact because, when making new things such as "technology", it may or may not be dangerous. Things arent usually what they seem according to everybody. You might see it as a whole life changer but what some people question is, " Is this necessary for me?" or " Is this safe for me and my family?".
The cars we use now, are somewhat we call it "perfect" and if we use higher standard advancements of our cars, would we really rely on it? What are we capable of when using a driveless car? To me, a driveless car compares to sitting. Sitting is just another way of being lazy just like using a driveless car when you dont need to do anything but just sit there and enjoy the road.
Whats so great about driving a driveless car anyways ? Sitting there and watching the roads are no fun. How would people who like the speed and heart-pacing condtion when racing feel about this ? It would be a boring ride for me because you are not doing anything but just sit there. Yeah, there would be chances for you to be on your phone, or eating your meal rith there, or sleeping. But do we rely on such advance technology so much that we depend on it and avoid the dangerous cause?
Do we think that our children and family's are safe in a vechile that doesnt need you to drive and only drives by itself are safe enough ? Do you think this new car would be capable of rainy conditions and and snow conditions ? Yes, in the story it tells us that there would be objects just like in an ordinary car would have for you to use be in there just in case of emergencies, but why get an advance car when there are some similar alliance between the both of them? Why waist money on something that is the same? Think of how it would be with you just sitting there instaed of enjoying the road. | 2 |
Do you know what the Electoral College is? It's a process that the founding fathers established in the Constitution as a compromise between election of President by a vote in Congress and election of President by popular vote of qualified citizens. I think that we should change the way we vote by changing to election by popular vote for the President of the United States. I feel that this is a good idea and a good way to vote, let me tell you why. It's a good idea because it benefits the public, everyone knows exactly what kind of impact they're making and so it doesn't mess up the votes and or voting. Let's continue, shall we?
It's a good idea because it benefits to the public. The public wants to know exactly who and what they are voting for, they want to know exactly what their vote means to the election. More than half of the time they don't notice what kind of an impact a vote can make or what exactly they are voting for. Also when they do elect a President, the end up getting mad over their finances or taxes because the President trhat they voted for affected it in a negative way. They wanted to elect him because they wanted a better economy, to benefit them, not to restrict them from not having what they want. This is only my first reason, I have two more to go.
Another reason of why I believe that it's a good idea is because it let's the public know what kind of impact they're exactly making on the election. We all don't want to vote and not know what kind of impact our vote can make. We want to know that we can make a difference on who we're voting for, or who we vote for. They want to know and be sure if they vote for lets say "Billy Henderson" that he will lower gas prices and boost the economy, make this world a better place and help all the needy, instead of "Robert Metinguey" who will maybe to this and maybe do that. We want to know for sure what we're voting on and how much of a difference it can make. Not to be worried about if it won't happen.
The last reason I have to give for why this a good idea is so that it does not mess up the voting process. According to the Gallup pole in the 2,000, taken shortly after Al Gore, thanks to the quirks of the electoral college, won the popluar vote but lost the presidency. Over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now. This is what im talking about people. People are losing their elections due to the electoral college. One of the major reasons of why people are wanting a change, there should be no electoral college, only a popular vote for the election. We all want a better Government. I only there was a better way to vote.
Well, there you have it. My reasons are final. I feel that we should change the voting process because it would benefit the public, so everyone can know exactly what kind of impact they're making and so it does not mess up the voting process. Don't do it for the government. Do it for your own sake. If you wanna make a difference, be on my side, and we can. Together. Now my only question to you is, are you willing to make a difference? | 3 |
The concept of driverless cars coming soon is no suprise. People can already pull off astounding feats like building huge cities and making people fly with the technology humanity already has. To be against the concept of new inventions like the driverless car is like going against a hurricane. Technology will constantly advance regardless of how people feel about its achievements. What is a driverless car compared to what we have already created?
Smart cars will make life exceptionally easier for the average person. The equipment required to make such a car is becoming cheaper and more commonplace every day. Sebastian Thrun himself said that a radar before the year 2000 costed two hundred million dollars. Today a person can buy similar tech for about thirty dollars at Radio Shack. Not only are smart cars becoming more viable as a normal vehicle replacement, they are becoming even more proficient than humans at their job. Google's modified Toyota Prius constantly updates its surroundings with a 360 degree 3D laser map. Some can even sense imminent collisions and apply the brakes much faster than any human could. Before too long automated cars will be safer than even the most alert driver.
Driverless cars are definitely taking over. While most people are wary about such concepts now, in about twelve years these new inventions will take the world by storm. Before too long driver's licenses will be obselete all together. What the world needs is a progressive, accepting way of thinking. Holding on to old suspicions will only keep the world in the dark ages. Humanity needs to bolstier forward, not lag behind. Driverless cars are just one milestone in an endless technological journey fueled by human ingenuity. | 2 |
Should computers read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom? No because, why should a computer know how your feeling? It wouldn't change the emotion the students feeling. It also wouldn't help with the students education. Its over all just a waste of time.
The process begins when the computer puts together a 3-D digital model. There are 44 major muscles in your face that the computer has to detect. Eckman classified six emotions happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. He then " associated each with characteristic movements of facial muscles."
For example the frontalis pars lateralis muscle is above your eye which shows your surpried when it is raised.
Us humans alone can identify facial expressions on peoples faces. If you look at a friend you can tell how they are feeling at that moment. Da Vinci studied human anatomy to help paint the facial muscles percisely on the Mona Lisa painting. Dr. Huangs has new computer software it stores similar info as electronic code. He thinks there could be a different type of code to the painting.
When facial facial expressions a made its about muscular action units. The school computer shouldn't have to know how you are feeling. What kind of problem is that supposed to solve? This idea is nothing but just a distraction for school students. It also may detect wrong facial expressions.
To conclusion computers in school shouldn't detect emotions of the students. I have proved my point on why it shouldn't be in school. I have given you several examples from the passage to prove this point. It shoudn't matter if the computer knows how your feeling. | 1 |
In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile," the author describes how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions. Now, is this technology needed in a classroom? It really does not need to be in a classroom, but it can be used for more important task like using it to see other old painting expressions.
For most children in school they all have mixed emotions, and what does seeing how happy they are change anything. Children go to school to learn and get education. Some children are happy to be at school, while some are not happy to be at school. And thoes children already show their expressions. When a child is happy and wants to do work at school, they are the ones to always raise their hands and are bubbley. While the children that are not happy to be at school are usually the ones to not sit right, slouch, and do not raise their hands. Most schools say that they want their students to be happy at school, but with all the work that all children have to do and how they are taught to learn, they do not show the same effect on all children. Some children like things to go one way, while the other children like it the other way, so in that case not all children could be happy at school, unless they were to slit things up to make evey child happy and they still learn the things that they need to learn. In the article, it states," Your home PC can't handle the complex algorithms used to decode Mona Lisa's slime. But we can write down some simple instructions that "encode" different emotions,"(paragraph 7). If our computers at home can not handle the power that is used to detect one of our emotions, how can so many more computers on one software be able to do that. Schools need to spend money on other things like maybe new floors for the gym, or new lockers, what ever it is there are more important things that need to be done before spending money on a computer that can detect wheather we are happy or not.
A way that the Facial Action Coding System can be used in our schools is to see how every child likes the way they learn. Some children can be so comfused in a clas but they never ask for help because they are too embarresed to raise their hand so they hide behind a computer screen and never get the help they need. And if others can see his expressions and notice he needs help they could help out. There are children who need help but are too scared to raise their hands because then they will stand out, and maybe even made fun of. They hide behide a computer screen so people will not know who is confused or needs help. In the article, it states," By weighting the different units, the software can even identify mixed emotions (as in da Vinci's masterpiece),"(paragraph 8). This states that it can identify if a child is confused, mad and/or sad about their issuse and their communitcation skills. It can help out the adules on the school help out the children of the school. If they had the Facial Action Coding System in classrooms, it could help a lot of children come out of their shells and maybe even change in a fantastic way.
Overall, the Facial Action Coding System is an amazing thing that can identify people's expressions, it does not really need to be in a classroom, but it can definetly come in handy. Maybe just in the libraray but not in every classroom. They can be very helpful for old paints and seeing those expressions. But there are people out there that put on a fake smile everyday to show others that they are not in pain when they actually are. A lot of people put on an "act" for others, meaning that they smile and looks so happy to others, while actually they are hurting and are in pain on the inside. Most people would not notice because they only see what other only show. | 3 |
The face on Mars is created by aliens! I don't think the face on Mars was created by aliens. People are arguing over wether alien life form is on Mars. I think the face was created over time by the changes of the surface of Mars. The physical features of the face has changed over the years.
Wether people think that aliens created the faces, NASA is trying to figure out what is creating this face. Is it alien life form, is it the changes of the planet. We may never know until we arive on Mars in human presents.
Why do people beleive what others say, beleive what you think its is. scientests beleive that aliens on Mars that created the man. Why do you think so Scientest? Do you all beleive in everything you come up with. The man on mars could be where a meteore hit and it was froze over.
I don't think their is alien life form out their in space, or the other galaxies around us. i think we the humans, animals, pants and etc. species, are the only ones out there in the universe. So there is no one that created the man on Mars, it was only God that created the man on Mars. This is my opion about the man on Mars. | 1 |
Ever wondered why humans can not travel to Venus. Well in this eassay I will explain why. Venus is too dangerous for humans to travel on. Even though Venus is like a sister of Earth, it is dangerous to travel on. No space ship has touched Venus in nearly more than three decades. Venus is a challenging planet for humans to study. I wonder why Venus is more dangerous to travel on rather than Mercury, even though Mercury is closer to the sun.
It is dangerous to travel on Venus because the temperatures are way different than what is on Earth. Venus has a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets. A more challenging part are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere. The atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on Earth. These type of conditions are far more extreme than what humans encounter on Earth.
The conditions on Venus are far too dangerous. It would be like Earth where if you try to drive a submarine into the deepest part of the ocean, it could liquefy the metal that the submarine is made out of. Venus has the hottest surface temeperature of any planet. Even though Mercury is closer to the sun, Venus is still the hottest planet. Venus even looks hot since it looks similar to the sun.
Beyond high pressure and heat, Venus also includes erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes. Who would want to go to Venus after hearing about all the dangerous things that Venus encounters. Astonomers are fascinated by Venus because it is the most Earth-like planet in the solar system. Even though Venus is vey hot, it resembles Earth. In the article it states, "Venus includes rocky sedimenand also includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters." Venus has a few earth like features.
After hearing about what Venus has on the planet, of course someone would want to see for there self. Venus is just too dangerous to land something on the planet. It is even too dangerous to be in Venus's atmosphere. One day humans can crete something that can take any pressure and will be able to land on any planet. Even though Venus is Earth's sister, it is far too dangerous to visit for humans. In paragraph 8, it states," Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." Human curiosity will lead humans into visiting Venus one day. | 3 |
Imagine being able to detect other peoples feelings when they try to hide their emotions. Two doctors think they have the power to do so, Proffesor Nicu Sebe of the University of Amsredam and Dr. Huang and his colleague are experts at developing better ways for humans and computers to communicate.
I believe that the new advancment would be a wonderful idea. I believe that seeing somebody's when they are trying to hide them is gonna bring new thrills to life. Actually knowing someone's emotions could be beneficial for thing such as suicide maybe if we knew what somebody's emotions were we would be able to help somebody to make them feel happy. In the passage article for has a quote saying "The facial expressions for each emotion are universal," I believe this is a good quote because it ties in with me saying that emotions could help people but having facial emotions would benefit as well because then we would not only physically see someone's emotion but we would be able to feel the happiness, pain,anger or etc.
So overall I think Dr. Huang and Dr. Eckman could possibly have a amazing overall invention there are lots of positives for this invention. Such as having less suicides, or maybe if seeing someone happy could make someone else happy and could start a emotion train. The passage has some really good put out facts to convince someone that this would be a wonderful idea. | 2 |
Cars have been a huge advancement in technology in the past 100 years. Although they make traveling much easier, cars are a big reason for economical displeasure. Limiting car usage can help us in many ways. It will reduce pollution, more building space, and death rates will decrease.
Initially, limited car usage can play a major factor in pollution for the world. In "Paris Bans driving due to smog," it says that 147 micrograms of particulated matter was fount in London. This is causing sickness and illness in alot of countries. If we would reduce car usage there would be alot less smog and greenhouse gases in the air that we breathe every day. Who wants to live in a cloud of dust?
More so, cars are congesting the roads and towns of almost every city. In France they had a day where they didnt allow you to drive your vehicle a certain day, and the congestion rate was down 60%. With less vehicles on the road, it gives more space for buildings to be built. Parks and sport centers will be built, giving more kids the chance to grown up being healthy and fit. As you can see limiting car usage can help in more ways than you thought. Also the less cars being bought and made, the more money we can have to better the lives of the sick and poor in the world. to use the money for events in the world aswell. The jobs that would become available to people for building more bicycles and sidewalks would increase tremendously.
Therefore, the limitation of car usage will drastically change the rate of death in America and throughout the world. A study shows that driving by young people has decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009. If there are less people on the road then there will be less devastating fatalities on the road. The road is a path to your next door, not soppose to be the last path that you take. I dont want to be remembered as a statistic in this world, so less people driving and more people living is a great thing. Maybe we can see more good news than bad news whenever we turn the television on on sunday mornings after all.
In conclusion, The reduced limitation on car usage in the world can drastically improve our pollution problem, help with more buildings, and the death rate. Now let me ask you, if you had to choose wheither to drive that Mustang or to walk. After reading this passage, which would you choose? Like i said, i dont want to be remembered as a statistic. | 3 |
I think driverless cars are a great idea. If you are a business man and you're busy and you need to get things ready on your way to work driverless cars could help you out, but you still need to pay attention to the road because the driverless cars need to be controlled under certain circumstances.
Although their name is a driverless vehicle a driver still needs to operate it when needed such as when there is consruction or if there is a wreck in the middle of the road so the driver needs to pay attention even if he doesn't need to drive. The car will notify the driver if the road ahead requires human skills by either telling the driver or flashing lights on the dashboard.
Most driving laws focus on keeping drivers, passangers, and pedestians safe. Some states think the smart car may abstruct those laws such as California, Nevada, Florida, and the District of Columbia. These states won't even allow computerdriven cars be tested. I think the idea of a driverless car is great but as you can see some other people don't. | 1 |
Driverless cars have been in production for a number of years now. However, because of some technical issuses they haven't been able to be on the road yet. Driverless cars should be on the road because they are very safe,limit accidents, and drivers can still be in control.
Driverless cars have proven to be very safe. The car has advanced senors that can detect when it will hit something or someone. The driver and passangers would be warned and they would be safer. For instance, sensors can cause the car to apply breaks on an individuals wheels and reduce power from the engine allowing a far better response than any human driver can manage.
As a result of there being more safety there would be less accidents. Since the cars can practically drive themselves humans won't have to worry about hitting anything. For example, the car can navigate work zones and other things that may seem like an obsticle. With the car in control people would worry less about getting into accidents and there would be a less likely hood of any getting injured.
However, if individuals still aren't comfortable of letting the cars drive in certain areas like a work zone they still have the option of driving the car. The car can also warn people when and if they should take over. For example,
GM has developed driver's seats that vibrate when the car is and danger and that provides as warning for the driver to take over. People still have the option of being in control of the wheel.
In conclusion, driverless cars would be very valueable in this day in age. The people in the car and outside of the car would be save, less people to get injured in accidents , and there would be more control. Humankind would benefit from have cars smart enough to drive themselves. | 2 |
Our social lives now a days practically depend on cars. The truth is, we don't need cars as much as many of us think. There's probably more advantages than disadvantages to not owning or using a car as often. In articles one, two, three, and four it talks about reasons why we should'nt use a car and what happens if we do so often; you tend to have a healthier lifestyle, it helps the environment and ozone, and it reduces stress. So really, limiting car usage helps both you and the environment stay healthy and clean.
People tend to have a healthier life due to limiting their car use. In part of Germany the majority of the residents dont own cars. "As she walked verdant streets where the swish of bicycles and the chatter of wandering children drown out the occasional distant motor.", Article one. This shows how unlike some parts of the world, Germany has many people outside riding their bikes, walking around and many children playing outside other then being stuck inside at home or in a car. In Article four it states, "They organize their summer jobs and social life around where they can walk or take public transportation or car-pool with friends.". This is in New York, one of the cities with the most traffic and cars on the streets. New York made a prgram called the "bike-sharing program" which has showed great responces and has kids like the ones before mentioned being social and being more active with friends.
Limiting car usage also helps the environment and ozone. In Paris there was a lot of smoge for days and they had to take action. "After days of near record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city.", states Article two. After this ban the smog cleared a few days later. This shows how easily car can pollute the air and the environment. In Article four it states, "Since transportation is the second largest source of America's emissions, just behind power plants.". Cars are one of the main reasons for the environment being polluted and it can be stopped easily if people car-pooled, rode their bikes or walked.
Not only does limiting car usage and using a different alternative keep us active, it also reduces our stress. "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution," said Bussinessman Carlos Arturo Plaza as he rode a two-seat bicycle with his wife.", Article three. This was in Colombia where they had a day where no one could use their cars. The people felt relieved to have a day where they could just relax and go outside and get some fresh air. Also in Article one it states, "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way,"." This was also in Germany in a place called Vauban where more than half of the families didn't own cars. This shows how using a bike or walking other than using a car helps you reduce the stress that you have that also includes driving around others that block your way or speed.
In conclusion, limiting car usage tends to help others have a healthier lifestyle, it helps the environment and ozone, and helps others reduce stress. The chairman of the Ford Motor Company in Article four states, "Pedestrian, bicycle, private cars, commercial and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve saftey.". There's probably more pros than cons in limiting car usage because all it really does is make our lives harder. The long term effect of using cars is more important than the short term which is getting to your destination which you can do any other way and it's healthier and cleanier for everyone. | 3 |
In many parts of the world, cars are used on a daily basis. People use their cars everyday to get to work or any other place they go. These people should probably consider limiting their car usage. There are advantages to it and it can be beneficial.
The limiting of car usage can be helpful to them and their city's environment. I think that the people should limit their car usage because it can lower air pollution and air pollution is one of the biggest problems many cities or countries in the world are facing. This is because those citizens use their cars too much and they don't limit how much they use it.
On source 3 a businessman from Bogota, Columbia says that its a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution.
In addition, citizens from every state and country should limit their car usage because they don't have to worry about traffic. These citizens should walk, take a bus or ride their bicycles to where they go.
It can also save them time and avoid the trafficjam in the streets and it might help them get to their destination faster. Source 3 says that
Colombians hiked, biked, skated, or took buses to work during a car-free day leaving the streets of the capital city eerily devoided of traffic.
More over, citizens should limit using their cars because in some countries around the globe many people are cooperating and taking the advantage of limiting their car usage.
In some countries from Germany, there are families that do not own cars. On source 1 a media trainer and mother of two said that when she had a car she was always tense and now she's happy the way they are car free. In the city of Paris, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the global city . The usage of cars have created smog in different countries including Paris. In source 2 it says that motorists in Paris with even numbered plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a $31 fine.
In conclusion, people from all the countries and cities of the world should take the advantage of limiting their car usage. It can benefit them by avoiding traffic if they ride their bicycles or walk, spending money on gasoline and get to where they need to go faster. Another advantage would be to avoid air pollution to the environment and city and help making it a better place by being a great and considering citizen and limit the amount of car usage. | 2 |
Venus is the second planet from the sun, and one of the brightest points of light in the night sky. By some this planet is called the "Evening Star'' because of how bright it is. This planet is known as Earth's twin, because its the closest planet to Earth in size and density. Often times the closest planet to Earth if it wasnt for the way Mars orbited. There is alot about Venus that people don't know about. Through the good in this planet it's also dangerous.
Venus has the hottest suface tempature of any planet on the solar syatem, even though Mercury is closer to the sun. Knowing what the atmosphere is like up there makes it harder for people in Nasa. No spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours, as it states in paragraph 2. Every since then no aircraft has touched Venus in almost 3 decades. This planets surface average tempature is 800 degrees Fahrenheit, which is 90 times greater than Earths surface. Venus's atmosphere is not just hot it also contains up to 97 percent carbon dioxide which is bad for your lungs.
Despite the dangers scientist are looking for new ways to explor this planet. Nasa has been trying to look for new ways but also some old ways from World War 2 that they could improve on. As they were looking for different ways they came up with the idea to hover over the plant so they could see it scloser, and that would allow humans to survive up to 170 degree weather. Through our the dangers and the beauty of this planet, scientist wont stop until they explorer this star. | 1 |
Not all cowboys ride on horses, there are some special cowboys that ride waves. I am one of them ,I am Luke Bomberger a Seagoing Cowboy. When my friend Don Reist gave me this chance, I went for it and now I would like to give you the same chance that he gave me. Exploring this vast world, helping your country and others, and facing the sea with new friends by your side are all things we do.
This world is big and changing each day. You may not get to go to Greece or Venice on a regular day basis, but being a Seagoing Cowboy opens your eyes to the true beauty in the world. I have gone to Venice, The Acropolis in Greece and the Panama Canal on my way to China. Traveling the sea shows you beauty and it honors your country and others.
Being a Seagoing Cowboy is no picnic, but it is a true service to your country and other countries as well. After World War II countries were in ruins and in need of supplies. Seagoing Cowboys meet their needs because we bring them animals they may need , food they need and so much more. We serve the 44 different countries that formed the UNRRA (the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitaion Administration). We not only serve our countries, we face the sea with new friends by our side.
The sea may come across as fish, beaches, sun, dolphins and fun, but it is actually much more dangerous than you may think.
When it was my first time for the nightwatch it was hard because it was raining, the deck was so slippery that I almost got knocked overboard,but the small metal strip kept me from from going of the edge. I was lucky to be alive, but I didn't work for a while because I cracked my ribs. This may all sound bad ,but the sea isn't all seasickness, sharks and cracked ribs either. We know how to have relax because after the supplies are dropped off we have some fun like; playing baseball, volleyball, table-tennis, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and more games helped us have fun on board our ship.
In conclusion, the sea is full of fun, pain, service, and exploration. I sincerly hope after this you choose to be a Seagoing Cowboy because that is one thing you will never forget. The chance of a life time, to be a cowboy who rode the waves. | 3 |
Our system of driving has been implemented for a long time now.
Driverless cars would be a huge leap in technology.
There are so many cars on the road right now that require drivers and almost next to no selfdriving cars. Sel driving cars in theory sound like a good idea, but in all reality they aren't.
The first and biggest issue is cost, the self driving car will have nearly everything our current cars have, in addition to all the high tech sensors and a very exspensive Dubbed LIDAR that uses laser beams to form a constantly updating 3-D model of the car's surroundings.
Also they're talking about putting in camera's on the rearview mirrors and a camera that watched the driver.
The cost of repairs will be a a necessity because your car will have to be in working order or else it will not drive itself and you will not travel, and in this day and age you have to be able to travel.
The second issue is implementation.
How will driverless cars implement their product into the general populus?
Will there be a mix of driverless cars and driver operated cars?
If so, that sounds dangerous.
Theere is no need for drivers to be on the road with experimentall technology that is new and has never been used.
The chances of a problem or accident are enormous.
The third issue is change, drivers who use this new car will most likely feel a sense that something is missing as in they aren't doing anything like steering or breaking.
They will not be used to this and feel the need to do something that will distrract them from being alert.
Selfdriving cars will be so new and so different that many Americans will shy away because the change is too significant.
In conclusion, there is already a working system in place and to try and change that system on that big of a scale will create numerous problems that may not be solved.
The three big issues are cost, implementation, and change.
The scale at which this change would happen is just too great.
In addition it is too risky to make a slow implementation because the mix of car types would create many problems as well. | 2 |
Would you like technology called the Facial Action Coding System to see how you are feeling? Should it be used in schools? There is technology that can see your emotions. The Facial Action Coding System is used to code your facial emotions. It can tell how happy, or mad you are. It should be used in schools because it can see how students are feeling, a new way to see if a student needs help with something, and a way to see students in a different perspective.
The Facial Action Coding System is a new way to see how a student or teacher is feeling. With this new technology teachers can see how students are feeling. This could let teacher, classmates, or even their parents know how they are feeling. It can be used to see how a student feels about the assignments the teachers give them. It can show the feelings toward school work and might change how some teachers are teaching the student. It can be a way for teachers to help the students if they need it.
The Facial Action Coding System can be a way to for teachers to see how a student is feeling and to see if that teacher can help them through it. Some students drop out of school because they do not feel like dealing with somethings that happen at school and at home. Some school things students might not feel like dealing with is bullying or that they are failing a class because they do not understand the work. It can see if a student is confused about something and the teacher can go see what they need help with. It can see if a student is sad about something, and a teacher or countsler can ask the student about the problems they have. It gives a new perspective on the students and for the school.
Teachers now can only see how a student is feeling is if the student tells a teacher how they are feeling, or it they are not acting like they normally do. For the begining of the school year the teacher and the students do not really know each other and if a student is not feeling well a teacher does not really know if they are okay or not. With the Facial Action Coding System it could let the teachers see how a student is feeling. It could give a chance for a teacher to get to know a student a little more better. School could go easier for both the students and the teachers.
In conclusion, the Facial Action Coding System should be in schools because it is valuable for them to have a better chance of acually going through school. Students can get help if they need it. It can bring a teacher closer together to the students. It can show how a student really feels about things. It helps the students and the teachers. It is valuable for student to have a better chance at succsess. | 3 |
Dear Senator,
I have written this letter to you to illistatrate how i disagree this situation with the electoral college. I think you are still giving the president to much power still. By this i mean we should have the right as people i which ever stateto vote for our electors. Having the pesident choose for us although we choose the president to represent us on the first place,amd then theres also the situation that we can vote for our elector but we may often get confused and rhem choos e the wrong one. The biggest statement against this so far would be something that we may all know by its name (The Disaster Factor).What? you've never heard of it well let me help you. To start you of you shoould consider yourself lucky it was the biggest election crisis in a century. The worst thing that frightens me is just knowing that even though the legislatur is responsible for picking the electors, the electors have the choice to defy us the as the people. If you think thats the worst honey you should know thats not even half of it,theres also how its unfair to voters because of its winner-take-all system. This system states that in each state candidates dont spend time in states they know they have no chance in winning. IN conclusion keeping the electoral college will be unfair and unjust to us people.

Imagine walking around with your skull showing. There would be no protection to cover it. The face is what covers it so nobody would see inside your head. The face is just a natural landform.
There is support that the face is a natural landform. NASA's Viking 1 spacecraft was circling the planet, taking pictures of the landing sites that could be their sister ship Viking 2, when they came up on a shadowy likeness of a human face. A couple days later NASA showed the picture for everyone to see. That's the support that the face is a natural landform.
There is evidence from the article that support my claims. "And so on April 5, 1998 when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time Michael Malin and his MOC took some pictures ten times sharper than the origninal Viking photos. Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the picture first appeared on JPL website, revealing a natural landform. There were no alien monument at all." That is edvidence from the article that support my claims.
Others say the face was created by aliens. Photographing Cydonia became a priority for NASA when Mars Global Surveyor arrived at the red planet in September 1997 eighteen years after the Viking missions ended. However, a picture of the natural landform appeared on the JPL website. Some still didn't believe the face is a natural landform.
The face is just a natural landform. The face is what covers it so nobody would see inside your head. There would be no protection to cover it.

Have you ever stopped and thought to yourself what life would be like if nobody drove? There are many atvantages to limiting car usage. One advantage is that you will be a happier person. Another reason is that global warming will decrease rapidly. And also you will no have to spend money on gas so that would be more money in your pocket.
The amount of poeple that drive now is honestly crazy. With there being so many people on the road, there can be many things that go wrong. For example, car accidents. So many car accidents happen daily and unfortunantly, many people die from it. Also, road rage happens in many people. Say someone cuts you off, you get mad right? Then you may start to yell or get very tense. Many people are very tense drivers which may cause stress. If you drive less, you will not have as many of these problems.
Global warming is increasing rapidly recenlty. Global warming is very bad for the earth and could and is causing very many problems. In America, global warming is increasing very fast. Things like President Obama's ambitious goals to curb the United States' greenhouse gas emissions would help to decrease global warming. Cars and a big lead in to global warming. So with less people driving cars, that could be a way to end global warming.
Millions of dollars are spend on gas money to be put into peoples cars. If people do stop driving as much as they do now, could you imagine the amount of money that would be saved? So much money would be kept into your pocket. Walking or riding a bike does not cost money. It would be a big help to yourself.
There are so many more reasons as to why people should decrease how much they drive. But it would mainly make you a happier person, decrease global warming so much, and help save you lots of money. It is something that many people should think about doing. | 2 |
Is there any advantages of limiting car usage? Whether it's for the environment or even your health, there are some advatages that overall can help you. Lets be honest, cars aren't cheap and i don't really see them getting any cheaper but walking from point A to point B is free. It's kind of like killing two birds with one stone, by walking you save the environment from the gas you would be burning and you're saving money at the same time.
Limiting or even completly getting rid of driving can help you become a happier or even tense free person. Driving a vehicle, escpecially on a congested highway or road can create road rage causing you to become more stressful and aggrivated. In a suburb in Germany, residents there are giving up their cars, something they have never done before. They seem to be working efficiently without their cars, still being able to go to the store and work. It seems that they like this way of life better, stress free and no worrys of getting stuck in traffic. Like what Heidrun Walter explained in source one, she said "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." People are so infactuated with the thought of driving and cars but they don't realize that driving all the time is effecting your health. Personally, I think it's some of the reason as to why there is so much obesity in this world.
Not only is driving all the time bad for your health but it's also bad for the environment. Paris had a problem with there being so much smog, that they actually had to enforce a partial ban from driving. The partial ban was working, it was said in source 2 that after five days of intensifying smog, congestion went down 60 percent in the capitol of France. The partial ban worked with trying to clear out the smog to help the environment so well that the French party rescind the ban for odd numbered plates on tuesday's. Source 3 explained that in Columbia they were going on there third year of cars being banned except for buses and taxis. Just like in Germany people seemed to being adjusting and liking the idea of no cars on the roadway. A business man named Carlos Arturo Plaza, said that "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution" referring to Columbias third year of banning cars.
Even if you just have to go right down the street, people hop in there cars and go, when in fact you can just walk. An official of Transportation for America,David Goldberg, expressed about how depended we are on vehicles. He said "All of our development since World War II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change." And change is what seems to be exactly happening. In source 4 it was said that there seemed to be a decline in America's love affair with their vehicles. According to Doug Short, who is apart of an investment research comapany said that "When adjusted for population growth, the number of miles driven in the United States peaked in 2005 and dropped steadily thereafter." Maybe people are starting to realize that you don't necessarily need to drive and that it's more of previlge then a must. | 3 |
What if something goes wrong? The driverless cars are a good idea, but I don't think they are going to be safe. The article gives its negatives and positive things about the driverless cars, but in my opinion I don't think is a good idea to manufacture these cars. The driverless cars are not a good idea because what if something goes wrong with the technology of the car, they even have to change things in the law and add, driverless cars don't sound safe as it seems.
The driverless cars are not a good idea becuase what if something goes wrong with the technology of the car, like the passage says, if the technology fails and someone is injured, who is it fault the driver or the manufacture. If the driver gets in the accident and they don't know if the technology failed or if it was the drivers fault, it would be a mess becuase if the driver doesn't want to pay becuase its too expensive and the factory that made doesn't wanto to pay either they will have to go to court. Technology is not always perfect so I don't think they should use technology in a car just because some people don't want to drive.
They have to change a few thing in the law, according to the article most driving laws focus on keeping the passengers, drivers, and pedestrians safe. One of the laws is that the driver has control at all times, with the driverless car you are not the only one in control the car is too, so like I said early what if the technology of the car fails. Even if traffic law changes, new laws have to be establish in order to cover liability in case of an accident. To make the changes in the law it would be another mess and a lot of arguments to say to make it happen. These are different cars so they would have to change and add more laws.
The driverless cars don't sound so safe because the driver is not the only one in control, the car is too. The article says that the driver has its eyes on the road and the car on the driver, but if the technology fails and the car makes a mistake and becuase of the car mistake the driver would be paying the consequences of that mistake. Everybody makes mistakes so if the factory that was making the cars makes a lot of mistakes on the cars and nobody catches the problems, its going to make a lot of people pay that mistake.
The driverless cars are not a good idea becuase they don't sound safe as it seems, it has a lot of negatives things that can cause a lot of problems, and they have to change and add things to the law. | 3 |
Facial Action Systems in Classrooms
Using facial action coding for students in a classroom is valuble. This is becuase it can be used to help better teach students. Its especially valuble becuase the software can modify lesson plans, as well as be used in simmulatons, and the software can be easily implemented in classrooms. This technology would also boost productivity in students.
Using facial recognition would be important because it can be used to modify lesson plans, based on the emotions detected. In other words if a student is bored or confused, the software can detect it and can make the lesson more attention grabbing, or use a different teaching method. An example of this was mentioned in the article when Dr. Huang said, "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." (D'alto, 1). This is important becuase it gives direct evidence of the plans for this technology, and a method it could be used effectivly on students.
The technology can be used in learning simulations. This is valuble becuase more human communication is non verbal. Dr. Huang notes, "most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication...So computers need to understand that, too" (D'alto, 1). In using this technology we can create more human like and responsive simulations, that can be implemented in classrooms. This could help create more life like surgery simulations or anything envolving human interaction or communication.
Some might argue that the technology would be difficult to implement, but despite popular belief it is relativly easy to implement. Despite most technology not being able to decode somewhat incripted messages in famous works of art such as the Mona Lisa it can still be used to encode different emotions. Nick D'Alto writes, "we can still write down some simple instructions that 'encode' different emotions." (page, 1). This quote shows that it's not difficult for a larger span of people to begin using this technology, and our schools education could be significantly changed at a relativly low expense.
To conclude facial action coding technology is valuble to classrooms. Not only can it be used to modify lesson plans, and improve simulations, despite common belief it can also be easily implemented. Overall it can be used to amplify productivity though easily implementing this Facial Action Coding System. | 3 |
Its Just A Landform
NASA recently has just seen a human looking face on Mars, NASA has an image of the "Face" and they have released it for public view. People have questioned "Was it created by aliens?" So many people believe that it was indeed created by aliens. I believe that it is just a natural landform and it just so happened to look like a human face, for these many reasons.
In the article "Unmasking Face on Mars" it states that many people believe that this is not just a landform, it is some kind of alien creation. But, i can tell you otherwise. In stanza 3 it says, "huge rock formation...which resembles a human head..formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." It clearly says,"formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." That can give you an image of how the shadows could have formed this face like creation.
Another reason for this not being an alien cretaion as it states in stanza 7 of this article,"thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, reavling...a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all."This is a great reason for people to realize that it is not an alien creation. After a team captured another photo but ten times sharper, than the original Viking photos, they finally saw that it was nothing more than a natural landform and it must've been shadows that created such human like looks, as I already stated and also as stated in the article.
Although, people will still think it was an alien creation and NASA is keeping it away from the public, we are highly not. There has been no sight of any alien activity what so ever. The "Face" is not a start of alien activity and probably never will be.
In conlusion, this so called "alien creation" is not an alien creation. I know and believe it is not an alien creation, due to those reasons that I have named above. This human face looking creation is only and nothing more a natural landform. | 3 |
Today, technology in classrooms is huge. Almost all classrooms use technology nearly everyday. However, not everyone of them is effective because they are easier to slack off on without having a human to tell them to continue on even after they are bored, tired and even confused. Dr. Thomas Huang decided to create a system to help with this problem. He made a system called FACS or Facial Action Coding System. This system on a computer, reads emotions that on displayed on peoples face.
There are 44 major muscles in the human face. Each one of these muscles helps researchers find new ways to read emotions. Dr. Thomas Huang is one of these researchers. Dr. Huang says, "The facial expressions for each emotion are universal,". He means by this that because there are so many different muscles in your face, and them all being able to show different emotions, there is an endless amount of expressions to be made. For example, you can probabaly read your friends face and see what kind of day they are having by reading the emotion on their face. Unlike the smart Facial Action Coding System, we are not able to completely describe each facial trait showed by our friend, although we can still tell their state of emotion. For example when using FACS, researchers were able to tell that Leonardo da Vinci's Renaissance painting, Mona Lisa was 83% happy, 9% disgusted, 6% fearful and 2% angry.
It is thought that the Facial Action Coding System (FACS) could help students better in the classrom. "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," Dr Haung predicted. He also stated that if the FACS could recognize taht on students faces, it could also modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor would. Dr. Huang also states "Most human communication is nonverball, including emotional communication,". Even though this system could prove to be effective, not all students are only learning on computers and are learning verbally from a teacher. A teacher is unable to identify the exact percent of each emotion you feel but can still read your emotions just as your friend would.
Nick D'Alto, the author of Making Mona Lisa Smile, gives us an example of demonstration we could try. "While looking in the mirror: 1. Raise your lips at the corners of your mouth. 2. Then squint your eyes slightly, to produce wrinkling ('crow's-feet") at the corners of your eyes. 3. Holding that, raise the outer parts of your cheeks up, toward your eyes.". By having a partner guess which emotion your are portraying, he is doing as the FACS would. Your partner probabaly would have guessed happy. The computers would have been able to tell that you are feeling happy, and continue on with your work. However, if you were to have been looking confused, the computer would stop, and try to help explain the problem to you.
The computers could very easily help in the classrooms to make students work to the best of their ability. By being able to read emotions, the computers will make it harder for students to slack off while previoulsy it would have been moderatly easy. Humans perform these face "calculations" everyday without realizing it. Now the FACS system can join along with us and then some by creating a better work environemnt for the students. | 2 |
In the article Driverless Cars Are Coming, they talk about the positive and negative things that could happen. This essay is going to be against the article because a driverless car doesn't sound safe to some. If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault- the driver or the manufacturer? If you are in a car but the car is driving itself, what are you suppose to do if the car has a malfunction and you cant control it? Just because it is on television doesn't mean it needs to be brought to life so accidents can happen.
In the article it says "These smart-road systems worked surprisingly well; but they required massive upgrades to existing roads, something that was to expensive to be practical." People are not going to want to go on the interstate and there be construction twenty-four seven. If there was a new driverless car that came out every five to ten years then maybe there would be enough money saved up to start a new upgrade on the road for the new driverless cars. The places making these cars are having to make them for new starters and for experienced drivers because new drivers need more senors then experienced drivers do.
Aso some people know, before you can maake these cars you have to have if approved and make sure they are safe enough to be on the roads. Traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times. As a result, in most states it is illegal even to test computer-driven cars. Even if traffic laws change, new laws will be needed in oreder to cover liability in the case of an accident. Google has had cars that could drive independently under specific conditions since 2009. People would probably like to know what specific conditions they are refering too.
Some people are smarter than others and they know right from wrong. But also people have a better and even greater chance of not being hurt. Say you are driving down the road and a child runs out infront of you, does the car automatically stop or does it hit the child. If a teen is given a driverless car, they would probably have too much fun with it. The cars would also need a gps so that you could let it know where to take you because its not going to know automatically want to go to grandmas house that night.
People today are probably wondering how much these cars cost, do they have insurance, what happens if i have an accident or are the cars even safe. If a car is not proven safe then no one needs that car and it will not be approvedd by the lawmakers. People go out and spend money on renewing their liscenses, and taking the test all of their life to find out a driverless car will probably sometime in the future take over.
A driverless car is not needed in this world. It is already dangerous out there with the cars we have, it would be best ti stick with the cars that we can drive, not driverless. Driverless cars could make the world even more dangerous if there was a malfunction with it. | 3 |
The Facial Action Coding System would not be very useful in the classroom because most teachers do not change their lesson just because one of their students is confused or bored, the FACS is not even able to read past the basic six emotions so it will not know when a student is bored or confused, and most teachers do not use computers all the time or even at all in class.
Teachers do not change their lesson when one of their students is bored or confused. Everyone that has been in school is well aware of this. Most teachers do try to make it less boring and more fun if multiple students are feeling the same and they do try to explain things better for those that are confused. A computer that "senses" when a student is becoming bored or confused, will not be able to do the same and have the same result. The FACS could help the computer see that a student is becoming bored and modify the lesson, but how much help would that be? People learn better when other people are there to explain things. A computer cannot provide the same effect.
According to the fourth sentence in paragraph three, the FACS only knows how to read the six basic emotions-- happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. Meaning that the FACS would not actually be able to tell if the user or student is bored or confused. If the program cannot actually sense those two emotions, how will it be able to modify lessons for students to learn a little better without being confused? In paragraph four, it does mention how the software can identify "mixed emotions" but it would ot be very helpful for those two considering that they are harder to tell by just looking at someone's face when it is better to ask.
Most teachers do not use computers in class often. Sometimes, they do not use them at all. Unless the students are in a typing class or a program coding class, teachers for other subjects rarely use computers outside of taking tests or doing projects. They rarely ever trust a computer to teach their lessons for them. That is why they are called "teachers". So the FACS software program would merely go to waste.
The Facial Action Coding System would not best suit being in classrooms since the teachers do not change their lessons so the computers should not either, humans express way more than just six emotions and a computer would not be able to detect them all, and very few teachers actually have full computers in their classrooms to help them teach instead of small laptops or just very little technology altogether. | 3 |
New ideas, and smart engineering has been making it possible and eaiser to do many thngs. With cuttuing edge technology and knowledge evolving, humans have been acheiving and setting for the unthinkable. From cars traveling faster than the speed of sound, to cars that can drive themselves. Some aren't to happy with the image of that. Think, can cars really drive on their own, and what if the cars crashes who's at fault?
The idea of self driving cars scare many that maybe why it's actually illegal to even test computer-driven cars, stated in passage 9. This is because it isn't a hundred percent safe, though Google has cars that have been driven for a million miles without a crash, stated in passage 2. I think it would make a big change if cars could drive themselves. There would probably still be car accidents, but there would be as many.
Self driving cars would have many pros because there could be less texting and driving, which means less accidents. There would also be less drunk drivers which mean leass accidents, and there could also be less people dying. This would be a deal breaker for parents they could actuallly monator where their kids go. There could be less accidents among teens and in general. Kids wouldn't have to lose their life because they ran out in the street and was hitten by a car all because the child was getthing a ball.
I think that by the year 2022 that cars will be on the market And would help and save many people. "Automakers are continuing their work on the assumption that the problems ahead will be solved. Tesla has projected a 2016 release for a car capable of driving on autopilot 90 percent of the time." Its better that it's 90 percent safety than 20 because nothing can ever be perfect but we can always try to be as close to it as we can. | 1 |
Prof. Thomas Huang, claims that the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), is able to detect a person's emotions by percentages. I believe that this system is foolish and is not accurate whatsoever. Although doctors and professors show that it is true, they do not truly know what that person is going through just by looking at their face. Some may say a raised eyebrow means somebody is suprised, but you never know if someone was born with that raised eyebrow and could possibly be sad or happy. This system does not seem to be accurate and should not be used in the future.
When figuring out somebody's feelings, only that person knows what they are feeling on the inside. By looking at someone's expressions, this does not do any justice, but listening to what they have to say and their tone of voice does the job. When hearing somebody's tone of voice, you can hear and feel their emotions. Also, some people may show their emotions by their artistic skills. Some may draw, write, build, etc. for they may have a hard time describing how they truly feel. Listening to what a computer has to say about someone does not seem accurate and just flat out sounds unreal.
Psychologists know the artistic technique as well. Some may even suggest to their patients to write in a journal or to draw how they feel. They can also know somebody's feelings when having a therapy session. They know when somebody wants to continue a conversation or put it to an end. It is all in that person's voice and they are professionals when doing this. Facial expressions may help in certain situations, but that is rarely. Somebody could come off as a wild and lively person, but on the inside they can be heartbroken and lonely.
I think by going up to someone and having a conversation is what is best to do, in order to see their emotions. Someone may look sad or even mad, but by going up them and talking to them, they could be the happiest person you know. Conversation is key and it is such a nice way to not only get to know somebody, but to also see how someone is feeling deep down. | 3 |
We need to find other ways to limit car usage. We should stop relying on cars so much. In "
Car-Free Cities"
it expains and provides examples of people not using the car that much is happier in there life and that we dont need to have cars because you can be more active walking and riding a bike then just driving and when you stop using the car so much you can have a better enviroment. We all have a choice weither or not to use cars but not using a car can makes your life better.
We all have our perfrences, like maybe you just like to use a car because it gets you from point A to B faster but walking or riding a bike can help you become more fit and active. In "
In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars
" by Elisabeth Rosenthal it states that " "when I had a car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way," said Heidrun Walter... as she walked verdant streets where the swish of bicycles and the chatter of wandering childerm drown out the occasional distant motor". this quote explains how when she gave up her car she seemed much happier and she didn't have to hear the sound of cars, all she could hear is bicycle wheel's turning and just the laughter of children. In "
The End of Car Culture"
it says " They organize thier summer jobs and social life around where they can walk or take public transportation or car-pool with friends." this quote is explaining how teens don't use cars that much they think of other ways to get around then just using their own car. They are trying to be more active in their life life then just using cars for transportation. They walk or car-pool they think of smarter ways to get around.
Although, we may think that oh it is faster but do you know what you are doing to the enviroment due to using cars as much as we do? In "
Paris Bans Driving Due To Smog
" it tells the reader " After days of near-record- pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city" This quote is illustrating to us that people are driving so much that they had to ban cars and not permit anyone to drive due to , to much air poulltion. People need to start walking more then use cars a city should'nt be able to ban cars because that means people are using them to much and poullting the air with that. In "
The End of Car Culture"
it claims that "it will have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the enviroment, since transportation is the second largest source of America's eissions, just behind power plants." this quote explains to us is that if less people use cars , the more beneficial it would be to the enviroment. It would help us to stop poullting air and just help the nviroment out as well.
In conclusion, if people could limit the usage of cars it would beneficially help us out by us being more active and not using cars because it pollutes air and destroys the enviroment. Their are other ways to move about then cars. i know it is faster and easier but is it worth losing the enviroment because you didnt want to walk a short distance and back? | 2 |
I think driveless cars is a great idea in some ways. We certainly would have some complications and arguments. Driveless cars has some positive aspects such as using have the fuel we use today in taxis and offer more flexibility than a bus. Some other positve things is GM has developed driver's seat that vibrate when the car is in danger of backing into an object. The driveless car uses laser beams to form a constantly updating 3-D model of the car's surrounding. There is also some negative or not so good parts of a driveless car. For example, incase of an emergency, we have to take over the "driveless car". There is no playing around which means we have to be focus at all times to be prepared for accidents or road construction. If there a accident, the argument will be if its the drivers fault or the manutacturer fault. That situation will be in a big debate. The cars can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents (7). Who knows if everyone in the future will have driveless cars. I think they would be useful for only certain people and not so much of everybody. | 1 |
The Facial Action Coding System is valuable for reading the students emotions. Technology has come a long way and it can do crazy things. It says in the atricle that " We humans perfrom this same imressive "calculation" every day." This means if we as humans can detect emotions through actions and facial expressions, why cant technology? At the end of the day we humans are the ones that create technology and we can set its limits and control what it does. It also says in the article " The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles." This shows that the technology doesn't just guess emotions. It takes time to look at muslces and the ways they move and it calculates the emotions. It also says in the article "a classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored, then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instuctor." This could be very helpful in classrooms becuase a lot of students struggle with things like that, and this technology would be a great help to a large group of people. This makes the techonology valuable becuase it could benefit students in their education and help them out. In conclusion the Facial Action Coding System is a very valuable thing. It can help change the way people do things, and can help in classrooms. People could find ways to use this technology to create new things that could do even more. It could start as just this system and evolve into something way bigger and effective. | 1 |
I believe that driverless cars should be developed. I believe this because now and days you see that a lot of car accidents happen with texting and driving and also with drinking and driving. Now imagine how great it would be if those types of accidents would stop happening, well driverless cars are the answer. Now and days people can be very irresponsible and hurt others by their actions but these cars can help save lives and a lot of them. This can help keep pedestrians safe and even the drivers. Many deaths happen every year because of drivers not being able to be alert when driving, well with this type technology we can prevent this from happening. These cars will most likely be programmed to follow the law, as in mainting the speed limit and not doing illegal things on the road as in skipping a stop sign or a red light. These cars will also be able to help those who aren't able to drive like blind people, short people, and handicaped people these cars will be able to take them to their destination safely. These cars will be a great help to a lot of people who are irresponsible and to those with disadvantages. In conclusion I do believe they should develop these cars because it would be a great help to people. | 1 |
Unmasking the Face at Mars
Do you ever wonder if the Face on Mars is just a landfrom or created by aliens? I think that the Face on Mars is just a natural landform. I think that because the first image apperared on a JPL web site revealeed that the Face is just a natural landfrom, and there was no alien monument after all.
The first reason I think that the Face is just a landform because in the text it says that the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing . . . a natural land from. Also it said that there was no alien monument after all. That is proof that the Face on Mars is just a landform. Another piece of evidence that the Face on Mars is just a natural landform is it says in the text that," We had to roll the spacecraft 25 degrees to center the Face in the field of view." Even though there isn't that much proof that the Face on Mars is just a natural landform, but I still believe that because we could always find more evidence each year.
I just gave some proof that the Face on Mars is just a natural landform, and it isn't created by aliens. Even thought there isn't that much proof that it is just a landform, it could still just be a landform. With evidence, research, and spacecraft pictures, we could prove that it is just a landfrom and not something created by aliens. | 1 |
I whole heartedly believe driverless cars are becoming the future and I can agree with that but its just not that simple. The author raises a great point in saying that the drivers and the car need to work together as a team instead a car just taking the riens of driving. Thats anti-fun and not enjoyable. Additionaly you can see some other flaws as well
What will road conditions do to this self drivin cars. If a situation arises that requires a human driver and the car is driving its self or worse the human can even control the car. What could occur then? A car accident is not uncommen in these situations.
The law however is even bigger of an issue! the law states that self driven cars are illegal in some states! The law either needs to be updated or the car manufactures will need to find a way to get around this. As in stands today in this day and age, Self driving cars are STILL a thing of the future. | 1 |
The idea of driverless cars sounds very fun, cool, and interesting, but I feel that this idea of driverless cars do not sound safe. My position on the idea of driverless cars that, I am against driverless cars only because, I feel that having driverless cars on the streets would be very dangerous with other drivers and pedesterians walking or driving across the streets.
In paragraph 6 of the article, it states that having a driverless car means that the cars will drive themselves and, even with the antilock brake system, the passanger of the driverless car and pedestrianas would be in danger if the passanger in the car wouldn't be able to take control of the wheel as quickly and easily as if they had a car where they were allowed to drive on their own without taking control of the car from the car being in charge driving itself. So, what I mean by saying this, is that driverless cars are the not the safest things to consider. Driverless cars should not be allowed out on the streets because, first off it sounds very dangerous, secondly, it sounds like too much of a hassal to worry about getting all of the technology checked out everytime something doesn't work in the car. Lastly, the last reason why I think that driverless cars should not be allowed is because, the cars and all of the different technologies could potentially be very expensive in the end.
To conclude my agrument on driverless cars, I do not think that driverless should be allowed out on the roads ever. I believe that driverless cars would always be a hassal trying to make sure you wouldn't hit anything or anybody while the car is driving and not you. I also feel that having a driverless car means that if your driverless car all of a sudden couldn't warn you about someone or something coming in your pathway and you do not see whatever or whoever is in your pathway, then you could potentially get in an accident and either severly injure,damage someones property, or even kill yourself and the person(s) you collided with. My last reason to conclude my essay is that, I believe that in the end, these so-called "driverless" caars will turn out to be very expensive to pay for, and keep getting all of technology checked out and made sure everything is functioning correctly, so you don't need to get more or new technology parts installed in your car. These my reasons why I think that driverless cars should not be allowed to be driven out on the open roads ever. | 2 |
Many people such as me have found that what is the purpose for a car when it emits gasses or does other things that people have such as smog many for some this is why they are trying to limit there use. But it does have it advantges though. Many countries have found out that limiting car usage was a great idea to do. And that is what I am going to explain to you.
People who live in Vauban, Germany in this upscale comunities are living without a car they say that the neighborhood is "car-free" many people in stead of driving a car they either ride a bike, walk, or thay have a car but they have to buy a space in a large garage on the outside of the comunity. And they also say that is is quiet and peacful you will hear an occasional distan moter but is drowned out with people talking bikes got past or even kids in the neighborhood.
Like many other contries they have to deal with smog fron the green house gasses for cars most areas are is 50% green house gas. But like other contries they have cars banned like in europe they fine people 22 euros ($31) some even had their car impounded for there reaction. Europe mostly blames deisel fuel because most of all the cars in europe are deisel.
People who live in Bogota, Colombia they have a day where they can't use their cars it is called car-free day millions have hiked, biked, skated or take the bus to work during this day. This is the thrid year that they have done this there are over 7 million people live there and participate to reduce smog but some don't do this and the violaters are fined $25. And they haven't stopped this even when the weather is terrible such a heavy rain but people just ignore it.
That was my explanation on how people feel about limiting the use of cars wether it is car-free day in columbia fining people in europe or just have your car somewhere else like the neighborhood in Vauban, Germany people who try to limit their use of there cars ussaly follow this. | 1 |
In the article "Making Mona Lisa smile" the author describes how a new technology Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions. I think this technology would not have much use in a classroom. There are so many emotions that go on in the human brain on a daily consistent basis, there is just no possible way that artificial intelligence could make an accurate reading on a student. For example humans are not these focus machines that only think about school work while they are doing it, a student could easily get side tracked and think about somthing else, whether it be a sad or happy emotion this could theoretically set off the Facial Coding System and give the student an inaccurate reading. Another real life example is, say a student is working on his math problems and the student totally gets the problems and it is a breeze, but say he gets sidetracked and thinks about something else earlier in the day that puzzled him, what if the Facial Coding system picked that up? It clearly would not give an accurate reading, hypothetically it would pick up the students confusion and move him onto another question. The problem with the Facial Coding Systerm is that it wouldn't be analyzing a perfect subject, what I mean by that is that humans clearly have error, what I mean by that is if the Facial Coding System were engaged on a student I feel like it would have a hard time getting an accurate reading on how the student is ACTUALLY doing on their school work. Not only would this system most likely be very inaccurate, but what about the cost of the Facial Coding System. Technology and artificial intelligence like this would be outrageously expensive, so not only would this system most likely be ineffective but it would also be very pricey, imagine the thousands of kids in each public school, then add the expense of the coding system on each of their computers, school funding may not even be enough to fund all of that let alone the students who would be paying for them, it is just not realistic at all. In conclusion I think that the Facial Action Coding System would be both an ineffective and expensive product that schools certainly could not utilize or benefit from it at all. | 3 |
Driverless cars should be apart of everyday technology. Just as smart phones and robots become the norm, diverless cars are soon to follow; and, while people are soon to resent the ideas of a driverless car, they ignore the benefits and superiority of such an advance.
Driverless cars aren't completely driverless. This is adetail many are quick to overlook. In complete honesty, this is actually beneficial. While the car does the easier work of navigating through regular traffic and clear roads, it requires the driver's attention on more pressing issues such as construction or slick roads. This builds on a driver's sense of awareness, enabling them to be more skilled.
Another benefit is the increasment of safety. Drivers who are frequent to texting and driving are imediately pulled from the screen of their smart phone to the attention of their surrounding by the simple gestures frm the car. This means less accidents on the driver's end.
However, there is also a bad side to driverless vehicles. Humans may be prone to ignoring or missing the signals given by the car to take over. This could result in damage and/or injuries. There could also be a malfunction in the car making a signal delayed or not even appear at all. These are a few holes that make people doubt the effeciancy of this technology.
But no matter the bad, there are always positives that shine through. Driverless cars are the future. There is no way to avoid advancing. As the old sayinf goes, "Out with the old, in with the new." | 2 |
I think that the new technology called the Facial Action Coding System enableing the computers to identify human emotions is'nt valuable at all. Especially not for students in a classrom. I say this because students moods in a classroom can change, in a matter of seconds because the teacher may give out extra work or it was a hard day for the student. Also kids don't always show their emotions.
Let's get a little bit more into this. I'm not completly sure why this facial exspression system seem's like a good idea. Maybe because the people who thought about it thought it would be a smart and great idea to know peoples emotions. If you can already tell by "facial" exspressions why need this machine system? It would be a waste of money to make everywhere.
People may show their mood by their facial exspressions but others might not. Some don't even show their emotions. Others may even have that natural "mean/angry", "happy/funny", or even the "sad/depressed" facial look.
This is why I think it would'nt be much of a good idea. It costs to much and might not even be worth it. | 1 |
NASA's scientists are adiment that "the face on the mars" is actually a face. First of all, why would there be a face ON THE GROUND. Do they really think that some nonexisting extra-terrestrial decided that he wanted to put his face on the ground and leave a mark that he was there? Probably not. Also, none of these "faces" actually look like a face. It looks like a rock fell or something.
Nothing about these pictures are authentic. If you look closely, it clearly is not a face. I'm not going to go into details and try to figure out what it is myself, but that is definitely not a face. This "face" is a natural landform . There are plenty of places on Earth that looks like faces, but are just patches or grass, or dirt.
How can NASA try and conclude that some life form decided to put their face print in the dirt? They really can't.
In conclusion, The face is not a face, for it is a natural landform. A rock must have fell on the mesa. But it will never be a face. Never has, and never will. Nobody has actually been on Mars to even back up this evidence, so what proof do they really have?? | 1 |
Electoral College is a process that help the United States over many many years. So my question now is, why are you trying to get rid of it? They made so it a vote from Congress would go towards the President and a popular vote from cictizens. Without the Electroal College barely anyone's vote would be heard and Congess would be making our choice for us. I believe that we should keep the Electroal, because it makes citizens feel that they are in the system and without it people aren't really voting for who they want. Source 1" What Is the Electoral College?" by the Office of the Federal Register and source 3 "In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised to method of choosing the President" by Richard A. Posner.
To begin, keeping the Electoral College makes citizens feel that they are in the system. Even though they may not feel like they are in the system, this will let people's voices be heard and give them their rights to vote for who they want as President."You help choose your state's electors when you vote for President because when you vote for your candidate you wre actually voting for your candidate's electors." This quote from source 1 states that baicsally people are voting for their candidate's electors who vote for the President. Therefore, keeping the Electoral College makes people feel that their vote counts.
Also, without the Electoral College citizens aren't really voting for who they want. Even though other people are voting for you, at least they r voting for what u want and what you think. "The residents of the other regions are likely to feel disenfranchised- to feel that votes do not count, that the new president will have no regard for their interests, that he really isn't their president."this quote from source 3 explains that without the Electoral College their vote won't count and that the new president won't have any of their interests. To end this, if we didn't have the Electoral College no one's vote would count.
To sum this up, the Electroal College would give citizens the right to choose who the want and feel like they are apart of the system. This would give everyone a chance to let their voice heard. So why would they try to get rid of it, if it helps lots of people? Therefore I believe that we should keep it. | 2 |
"Can you imagine a time in the future when no one buys cars because no one needs them anymore?" Google cofounder, Sergey Brin, stated. I am all for driverless cars. I believe that driverless cars will be our transportation in the near future.
In paragraph one, Goofle cofounder, Sergey Brin, stated "He believes such cars would fundamentally change the world." I think it would be good thing, because the driverless cars would use less fuel. "This means the human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires." The driverless cars would not be completly driverless. The driver would have to stay alert through traffic jams, road construction, bad weather, and accidents. The car would give off a signal like a beeping noise when the driver needs to be in alert. "Gm has developed driver's seats that vibrate when the vehicle is in danger of backing into an object"
"Manufacturers are also considering using cameras to watch that drivers are remaining focused on the road." "While the driver watches the road, the car watches the drivers." I think that is a great idea to put that kind of camera in a driverless car. Just incase an accident happen they could tell if the driver was paying attention, or if the car just didn't give any signal that the driver needed to take control.
"Most driving laws focus on keeping drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe, and lawmakers know that safety is best achieved with alert drivers." Some people may think that driverless cars are dangerous. Others may think that the driverless cars may cause more accidents. "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault-the driver or the manufacturer?" Some people may feel like it was the manufacturers fault, and not theirs.
I belive that our future transportation will be driverless cars. I just think the drivers must pay attention at all times, even if no one was arround. I feel like it'd be a great thing. It would save money, and would take less fuel. I think driverless cars would be something for each state to think about for the near future. | 2 |
Would being able to read a students emotion be good or bad? This essay is based off of opinion. However, I will tell you my opinion on the "Facial Action Coding System."
I think that being able to read students emotions could be a very good thing. Most people think hiding their emotions is better for them and sometimes it works but I think if teachers could read their students it could help with so many things. It could help teachers know when their students aren't doing well. When kids get upset they usually tend to not want to talk about their issues. This invention would help a lot in my opinion because if kids are wanting to harm themselves teachers acn get the kids help so that it doesn't happen.
In conclusion I think having that tool of being able to tell emotions without having to ask the student what is wrong, I feel it is a great things to have. I also feel there would be less and less people harming themselves. | 1 |
LIMITING CAR USAGE
Cars seem to be a major issue of todays time. We run out of gas, cant afford to fill up our tank or have mechanichal issues. People fail to realize the major issues of today. With the abundance of cars driving today, Pollution in the air is at an all time high. "On monday motorists with even-numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or sffer a 22-euro fine ($31)." This is a small act that people are doing to limit the amount of cars out on the streets and polution in the air. If we had days that everyone rode their bike, or even walked to work we could have a very clean city and air. ''Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of france, after five-days of intensigying smog... in China one of the most polluted cities in the world.''
That statement right there goes to show if we limit ourselves to less car rides and more walking or biking, our health would increase and problems would decrease. Of course you need your car to go to the grocery store or mall because you cant just ride a bike there and carry the groceries or shopping bags home but, if you're just going to visit a friend or have casual lunch you should try a different way of transportation.
"As a result, 70 percent of vaubans families do not own cars, and 57 percent sold a car to move here. "when i had a car I was always tense. Im much happier this way."" That statement coming from an outsider who had just sold his car and moved to a car-free city goes to show that life is much better without one anyway. Your daily problems of gas, mechanics and now being able to breathe outside is all coming from a vehicle. There are ways to reduce these problems so I dont understand why people are not making the move right now. The only REAL reason a vehicle is absolutley neccesary is if youre going on a long roadtrip. You do not need one for going down the block. There are many advantages to reducing car use. You dont have to worry about money because you dont have to spend 45 dollars to fill up your tank, 25 dollars for parking or the 500 dollar transmission needing to be replaced.
"parks and sports centers also have boomed throughout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks; rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic; and new resturants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up." Everything that was just mentioned in those few sentences were positive things regarding cars being eliminated from the situation. Most people these days go in there car, go to work then go straight home. If you were walking you can take many different routes and discover places that youve never been to or seen before. They have fixed all of the sidewalks and problems that you could encounter by walking and added in things to make it more joyable. Again there are exceptions to the "eliminating car usage." There is no way we could completley cut it off but we should defintley limit it.
We dont want to completley cut off car usage but lowering the amount of it is defintley something we should do. By doing so we will be basically stress-free with financial, mechanichal and any other issues. We will be cutting off the amount of pollution in the air making the enviornment better for us and everything in it. This is something that has been an underlying problem that was well-needed to be adressed. | 3 |
The use of Facial Action Coding Systems could be very useful. There are several reasons for this. First of all there are several industries ot can be used in. Secondly it could help students get a better education. The last reason is that it could make advertisements more relevant. However there are also drawbacks to using a computer software to read people's emotions.
Several industries would benefit from this software. As the article mentions artists are required to be able to recognize the facial expressions of the people they are painting or drawing. These expressions are critical to conveying the correct emotions, so clearly the art industry could benefit from the use of Facial Action Coding Systems. Another way industy that this software could be used in is politics. The article talks about how the software can recognize the difference between a fake smile and a real smile. This could be useful when analyzing political figures as well as celebrities. A possible downside to this is cost effectiveness. The question of is the cost really worth it whenever there are already people in the world that can do the same thing.
Another useful aspect of the Facial Action Coding System is it's use in schools. In the article Dr. Huang, the co-developer of the system, says that "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored. Then it could modify the lesson, likean effective human instructor." This could be the most useful aspect of the software, because not everyone learns in the same way. If your computer could recognize when you were getting bored or confused and then fix the problem it would make learning much easier for a lot of people. It would also allow students to move at their own pace as not everyone works at the same speed. A downside to this software is the loss of jobs for teachers as well as the reliance on technology.
The last aspect is that it could make advertisements more relevant. The article states that if you smile when an internet ad appears on your screen, another similar as might follow. However if you frown, the next ad will be different. This is useful both for the consumer and the company. We all know that when an annoying ad pops up it usually gets ignored especially if we've already seen that ad one hundred times. But what if the ad was for something you actually liked then you might go buy it. The only negative about this is that the software won't recognize if you're smiling about the video you just watched or the ad that pops up.
In conclusion the Facial Action Coding System could possibly be very useful in the future. There are many industries where it could be used, schools could use it to make education more beneficial and it could make advertisements more relevant. However there are also a few issues which should be adressed before it could be used in mainstream businesses and schools. | 4 |
Why should anyone want to have a car drive you anywhere you want to go when you can drive yourself? You should be the one in control of the car not the other way around, there could be a malfunction with the car that might cause a wreak, and they don't need more technology to a car, because at the end of the day your not going to have it all of your life. I'm against having the google car, because who needs a literally has laser beams that comes out of the top of the car to form a constantly updating 3-D model of the cars surroundings.
You should be the one in control of the car at all times. A person learns how to drive for a reason. They learn how to drive, so that their parents don't have to anymore, to maybe go places by yourself, and just to swee how well you have learned to drive and how much you have improved before you started to drive in the first place. Having a human drive you is better than a robot driving you because you have an advantage of learning and continuing how to learn how.
Having malfunctions is a big problem. there is alot that can happen to you if you manage to mess something up or if you just crash and wreak your car. You can push a button that can do some serious harm to you or anyone that is in the car at the time, you can break some bones by cracking into another car or a tree, and it can make you have some type of brain damage. Having malfunctions are bad, but dying in the process of your vehicle having a malfunction is horrible.
Your not always going to have that car all of you life. You might sell it, pass it down to one of your kids, or just leave it on the side of the road. I don't know what you would do with it. Not everybody has had a car the they have had all of their life that would be a big problem in having it all your life. Having a google car isn't always going to be there.
I will not agree for having a google car, but if i did i couldn't possibly let it drive for me. i would be the one to drive it at all times. | 2 |
Dear Senator Rubio I feel that there are some conserns about the Electoral College, now i feel that it should be kept as the way to pick the president and not just change to poular vote. I am sending this letter to tell my oppinons and to mabe here back from you about what you think is a better idea.
Well here is the first thing if you keep the elctoral college than you still have a possiblity of the man in the poular vote to win and with all the states having to pick how gos is helping the poular vote man because it is putting some how will vote for you in that chair. aswell as being able to campain in sertain places i mean sure you campain any way but if you know you have the elctoral votes you can focus on the regions and states that have the big voting numbers like Ohio Florida Pennsylvania New York and few others. these show that you need to campain in high Demacratic states if you are Repulican and visa verse. But if you relize quite a few states dont get visited to by the candates. why is that? well some states are dominatly Blue and others are dominatly Red like no Repulican goes and campains in Califonia and no Democrat campains in Texas. If looked at you see all those states that arent being paid attentin to the are the little one ore two vote places that the runner doesent feel that they absolutely need and it is like a little bounus if they vote for them.
Well know the stats show that a little over half the US does not vote,WHY? Because they feel there vote does not matter one bit and that leeds to them saying na why vote examples are showen like in texas if you are a Democrate why vote when you know that your vote doeent matter any whay because of the college. Also same for Repulicans in Califonia there votes are cancled outbecause of the state they are in. they all say that there are many that belive there is a big problem here with the college that it is riged because you can put your own people in there that may not vote for what you belived in well there is an example of that happening in one state they threw in men that wouldent vote fpr JFK to prove they can change the vote. know if they want to stay as an oficial than they need to do what the party states well that is exactly what most people do and that is why there has not been very many surprises while the votes are in after the voting that night.
So Senator Rubio you heared what I had to say you have heard my counter claim know it is time for you to go and tell me what you think of the Electorial College so send me back a note and tell me all your oppinouns on this topic. | 2 |
Have you heard about FACS? Its full name is glory is "the Facial Action Coding System".It basically allows to tell which emotion the persons feeling. It seems like a great and wonderful device to have in work places and school places! I think we/they should have these devices in places that best need them! Like in and out the classroom.
I think its valuable because when your in a classroom teachers tend to ususally do a lesson even though all the students get bored out of their minds and end up not paying atention!! Same goes for doing a lesson on this computer, the classroom would be able to recognize the students emotions if the school had some of thses devices, but right now we don't because not all schools cant afford new high tech computers to recognize the childrens emotions! In the text it states
"A classroom computer could recognize when a studenr. Hat is becoming cinfused or bored," Dr. Huang predicts. "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructure! With this it would probably take a while but easy t the same time, because there are so much combinations to this peice of technology! In the text it staes "he facial expressions for each emotion are univeral," observes Dr. Huang, "even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression" (Like not smiling as broadly). This tells that there are so many emotions to decode! Now how this works is the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of your face and detects all your muscles in your face to determine what emotion your in. In the text so far states that Eckman has classifed 6 basic emotions and they are; happiness, suprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness.
Overall, this mechine would be most useful in classrooms because teachers and computer programs can change up so that the students would not be so bored and not pay attention! So they correct their lessons and can make it entertaining and fun for everyone! | 2 |
The author is trying to slowly but surley teach us about the"evening star" which is venus. Although we can examine the planet from a far it wouldnt be of any use if unable to look at the planet closley. Also called the earths twin which only means their close in density and size and close in distance at times. Numerous spacecrafts have been sent to explore the cloud draped world and every mission was unmanned since no spacecraft managed to survive a landing for more than a few hours.
Venus's atmosphere is almost 97 percent carbon dioxide and contains highly corrosive sulfuric acid which wasnt safe for ant man or woman. These facts are little to none to what we could learn if we advanced our technology and support on the idea of exploring venus. NASA had thought of an idea to get closer to the planet which involved a blimp like vehicle hovering over the planet safely. This planet has value and our exploration shouldnt be limited by danger our own curiousity will lead us to explore deeper and ever far more than needed. | 1 |
The Facial Action Coding System is a new technology that helps know the emotions the person is feeling. This new technology can even identify emotions from a painting as old as Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. This technology can also identify when there are mix emotions and when one is faking or lying about it. It all happens by how the muscles of our face move which show a specific emotion or more. The Facial Action Coding System is indeed very valuable because it could help a speaker's performance, performance in the arts, and to know the truth.
This new technology could help a speaker's performance by knowing how he is doing. If the speaker is reading off a long paragraph and the listeners are "paying attention" but in reality are thinking about something else then the speaker would know. He would then be able to involve the listeners in his speech, make eye contact or do whatever to get thier attention back. This could benefit teachers in a daily lesson to know how good or bad they are doing at explaining things. It could help when preparing for the end of the semester test and then the teacher would know what to focus on. This could also help when student's are giving speeches infront of the class. They would be able to know if they are doing a good job or not and how to do better in their speech to get a better grade.
In theater you have to act as a different person and you have to get into there position in whatever situation they are in. You can't just read the lines and expect people to enjoy the play. You have to be sad when your best friend died or scared when some is chasing after you. All of these are emotions that the teacher would expect performers to perform. This is why the Facial Action Coding System would be valuable to better the perfomance in arts. In paragraph 9 the author states "moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but also may even help produce them." This means that the new technology can make those fake emotions into more realistic for actors who need to seem like they are actually scared, sad, worried or feeling any other emotion.
Furthermore in paragraph 8 it says "these muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when a "smiling" politician or celebrity isn't being truthful." This means that the new technology could help know if the emotions public people are showing is actually truthful or not. If they are faking to be sad about something tragic but in reality they aren't then that would show everyone who they really are. Even though this is invading people's personal opinion and space, it would help to know the truth. This could also cause problems in the world of politics but it's better to be honest than to lie. Everyone deserves to know the truth about politics and what they really think so it would not hurt to know the very truth.
Don't you think that it's better to be honest with yourself and everyone else then faking things? This new technology Facial Action Coding System would helping with that. It could help a speaker's performance by knowing if they are explaining it right. It could help in acting an emotion different from what they are truly feeling. Lastly, it could help with knowing the whole truth about politicians and there way of showing they think about certain things. These are only three reasons why this new technology would be valuable. | 4 |
Seagoing Cowboys started right after the end of World War II, and it was to give supplies to those in need. The Seagoing Cowboys Mainly visted Europe and China . The main Items Sea Cowboys brought to the other countries were lifestock, and building supplies to rebuild cities and towns. Like in the story, To be a Sea Cowboy you have to be willing to travel around the world and also to spread your heart to others and help them. These are some reasons why I think Seagoing Cowboys are so great!
They take over night trips, and even month long trips or Even maybe YEAR long trips to go to people. Now, I do like helping others but if had to take month long trips that would be a nightmare so, their really giving somehting up for others. These people as in the story could just be 18 which is really young and still go out on the open waters for so long. You might think might they die of bordem, well no, because on the there and back they usal have sports like baseball tournments where the animals are staying. They also play ping-pong and foozeball which are table sports. Next, I will tell you about the incredible journeys you go on.
Now, I bet you proably have the world at your fringer tips now cause of devices and I know I sure do. In 1945, you have to think, I mean their entertainent was listenig to the radio, or playing outside. When the Seacowboys traveled the world there was so much to see and do. In the story it mentions them going to Greece and seeing amazing things and also, Luke had turned 18 and could be accepted into the military. Luke had Choosen not to though because, being a SeaCowboy was already enough of an honnor.
The Seacowboy spot was an overall honnor to and it was escpesailly fun. This paragraph will be about some of the animals onboard. The usual was Horses and water/feed, this is another reason you would stay busy on the 1-3 month long trips. Luke says" The cattle boat trips were an unbeliveible opportunity for a small town boy". Luke also had other exprinces with animals since he said he had worked on his moms old farm, so if you've every worked you have been a great fit fo the Seacowboys.
Now I have givin you great facts and reasons to join the Seacowboys. You get to see and live in other peoples cultures. You get to travel the earth(Europe and China) mostly those two. See the WWII reckage which was an important time in history. Lastly, Live with animals on a boat and see how they act and behave for a couple of months. If I had the oppurituinty to go and become a Seacowboy I would, would you too? | 3 |
Over the past few decades, talk regarding car pollution and usefulness has become common. Several people believe that the neglegence of cars is beneficial to the world, while others hold the belief that automobiles are a necessary part of daily life. Living in a world without cars can be very beneficial on many levels. Many entities benefit as a result of the use of other forms of transportation. The explanations of the help and drawbacks of a car-free society will be examined in this essay.
Car free land helps the environment to a vast extent. In many countries, automobile emission is the leading cause of air pollution that in return can harm the environment. This form of pollution is especially eminent in densely populated cities where public transport is unavailable. "After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the global city," as found in source 2, demonstrates the already global initiatives being taken by the governments of particular nations. Many pro-car arguments will contend that factories cause more pollution than cars, but they fail to consider how many countries' economies depend on factory goods while car usage can be replaced with alternatives that are better for the prosperity of the planet.
Many new alternatives to cars have been created. From source 3, "The goal is to promote alternative transportation." Many forms of transportation, be it public or private should be made available to residents of nations. Metros, hybrid power buses, and monorails can be implemented in cities where pollution from smog is a problem, as they pollute in negligible amounts if at all. Private solutions can be viable for people who prefer a more calm approach to saving the world. Hybrid cars are now becoming more widespread and available for almost the same price as regular gas emission vehicles. Hybrids are powered mainly on electricity and batteries, and do not give off harmful carbon monoxide that destroys the ozone layer.
The purchasing rate of cars has already decreased. As demonstrated in source 4, "If the pattern [of the decrease in car purchases] persists...it will have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the environment." Here it is evident that the switch to more "eco-friendly" solutions to transportation are naturally and calmly happening. Ergo, the people of many states and countries have already taken the initiative to make the change, but it is also now up to the government to implement public transportation for the portion of the population that cannot afford their own form of travel. This initiative has been taken in cities like Paris, New York, San Francisco, and Moscow.
As truly mentioned in the first source, "[People] have given up their cars." This is the first step to a world that is pleasant to the environment all around the world, as the health of plants, animals, and even humans is dependent on the air around them. Not only is public transport becoming more and more evident in select cities, but personal electric vehicles are opportune as well. This is a new age and people should take advantage of it. Smartphones, laptops, and other technological feats are neat, but in order to be able to enjoy those luxuries, we need to be able to appreciate our Earth and treat it with respect by becoming a car-free world. | 4 |
I think using technology to read students emotional expression in the classroom won't be a good idea because it will make many students feel uncomftorable,ruin the teacher lesson plans and takes away talking and communicating with other people.
Many students will feel uncomftorable having a computer in their face all day monitoring their emotions. It will become hard to stay focus in class. They will try changing their emotions and facial expressions on purporse just to get a reaction out of the computer and that can mess up a lot of things with the program and the teacher.
Teaching a lesson and knowing how the students are feeling about it is good but it has a few cons. It's great to tell whether their struggling or not paying attention but it can also be embarassing. If your teaching a lesson and a student is making a confused faced,the lesson is ruined and you have to help that student out and make them feel bad for having a confused expression.
Talking to friends and family or the people you love is how everyone in the world communicates. For example if someone is having a bad day they wouldn't want to talk for awhile and when they do it's with a friend. Or if someone just found out their relative just died they would want to speak to someone outside of class because they know their education is much more important,or someone can even be overly depressed trying to work in class and get the best grades possible.Since they have computers to know how their feeling it takes away the communication of speaking to another human being if their upset about something and don't want to show it.
In conclusion haing computers in a classroom to tell how students are feeling is not a good idea. It makes them uncomfotorable like a computer can just tell everyone how their feeling.It ruins teacher classes to know when a student is confused about their less. And it exposes their feelings their having in class about things going on at home. | 3 |
Many years ago there was said to be a face on mars. Research since have proved that the so called face was just a natural landform. There are such landforms like a mesa that the scientists think is what the face really is. People today still do not believe scientists that the so called face is just a landform. I think people should believe that its a natural landform, because scientists have improved their cameras, scientists know more on the topic then civilians do, and people assumed and over exaggerated too quickly.
Scientists have improved there pictures since the Viking 1 took the photo. They have better quality and have done some more research. The aricle says that there cameras have improved and been upgraded. The scientists say that there are several options that the mound could be. Two options are a mesa and a butte.
The people do not know as much as the scientists do. The scientists have done research and gone to school over this type of thing. They can identify it easily. In the article one said that the landfrom looks common to some in the American West. They compared it to the Snake River Plain of Idaho. This shows that the people have less knowledge in this area then scientists do.
People over exaggerated it when they first found out anyway. They weren't positive that it was what they thought it was. The aritcle stated that right away people made movies, stories, and articles about it. The picture shows on the Viking 1 that it was just shadows. The newer pictures were shown to not really show facial features. Yes people could see the figure of a face, but its outrageous to think that an alien formed such thing.
These facts show that it is highly unlikely to have an alien form such thing. There is more proof that it is a natural landform. But would you want people getting all excited and happy because they THOUGHT an alien existed. Its also just a way to get children to believe foolish things and maybe even give them nightmares. | 3 |
After reading the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming" it made me inclined to think that a driverless car would be a benefical thing to have. They could potentally reduce driver made accidents and make the roads run safer and smoother than they do today.
Some people may believe that driverless cars are dangerous, but they may not realize that safety is one of the major concerns that manufacturers have. They still plan on having the driver maintain alert and ready to take control of the car if needed. In paragraph 7, the writing states that, "They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents." This leads me to believe that these cars are safe.
There are still some issues involving the driverless cars. Such as figuring out who is at fault if there is an accident. Would the driver in the car or would the manufacturer of the car be held responsible? These are good questions, but the writing says that, "Automakers are continuing their work on the assumption that the problems ahead will be solved." Which means that chances are the laws will change and the people will decide what the future laws of the driverless cars will be.
In conclusion, I believe that driverless cars are going to be made no matter what. The car manufacturers are continuing to make imporvements to the cars sensors and computers everyday. The article even says that, "Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Nissan plan to have cars that can drive themselves by 2020." So, driverless cars are going to happen, and they are going to happen soon. | 2 |
In society today us humans often have trouble with reading another person's emotions, we tend to think the person is happy when they're truly mad. Prof. Thomas Huang, of the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science at the University of Illinois, has made a computer software with a feature able to scan one's face and present its facial expressions. Although this idea may seem like a technological breakthrough, think of the pros and the cons. The disadvantages out-weigh the benefits in this idea, thinking you know one's emotions because of a machine created by imperfect humans does not mean it is one hundred percent correct.
Computers will never be humans, they will never have the human qualities we have. Thomas says "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored" (D'Alto 6). What if the student isnt really bored like the machine thinks? The machine will make a false adjustment that could do the complete opposite of what the kids wanted. Some deceitful kids could out-smart the machine and fake boredom all the time to make the machine adjust and change everything. Not only that, different kids won't have the same emotion. If half the class is bored and half is having fun, what will the machine do then?
Although Thomas thinks he knows every expression and how to get anyone's true expressions, he is mistaken. All humans have different shapes, sizes, colors, and abilities. This machine will never be able to guess true emotions. Humans express things in totally opposite ways. Altough Mona Lise looks happy in the picture, she could really be faking it. The only correct way to know one's true emotions is not by calculating percentages with a machine, its by expressing your feelings to one another. I can see what's going on in this world, we rely and dwell on technology. As a planet we really do not have enough good quality human interactions, so why improve communication between people and computers as thomas says. Humans are constantly competing and at war, adding this technology will just be giving humans excuses and false assumptions. We should start on using technology to improve human interactions instead of using technology to improve our human interactions.
Basing a decision off of an imperfect machine will get you nowhere but making false assumptions and incorrect decisions. Not everyone is the same, nor will they ever be. Expressing your true feelings through words is better than a machine thinking someone feels a certain way. Also, not everyone feels the same way and this machine will cause trouble if a person purposely changes a way they look. This idea will never work because us humans are not all nice people. Men and women need to work on communicating with other humans and not technology. Countries are at war and some people are worrying about creating technology to better computer and human communication. Differences, deception, irresponsibility and disrespectfulness amongst humans are why this idea of reading one's emotions will never work and will constantly make errors leading to a downfall in our society. | 3 |
Many people may think that the face on Mars was made by aliens. I believe aliens didn't play a part in the Face on Mars. In the article "Unmasking the Face on Mars" there are many details to support my claim.
In this article, there are many details supporting my claim that aliens didn't create the Face on Mars. In paragraph 7, the author states "Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, reaveling . . . a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all." This supports my claim because it appeared on the pictures of the JPL website as just a natural landform just like on Earth. In paragraph 2, the author states "Scientist figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia, only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh." This supports my claim very much. It supports my claim because it clearly explains that the landform looks like an Egyptian Pharaoh. It also support my claim because this explains that its just a regular landform that just looks different from all the rest. More eveidence in the article to support my claim was in paragraph 12. The author states "What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or messa- landforms common around the American West." This compares the Face on Mars to a normal landform on Earth. This supporting detail is important for my claim beacuse it's comparing another landform on a different planet that wasn't made by aliens, to a landform that's the same way. My final supporting detail is in paragraph 12 also. Gavin said " That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars." This means that the Face on Mars could've been made just as the Middle Butte was on Earth. After these supporting details from the passage, aliens couldn't have made the Face on Mars.
In conclusion, many people thought that the Face on Mars was a landform made by aliens. I beieved that the aliens didnt make the landform on Mars. I think that it was just a shock that a face would appear on this unusual planet! | 2 |
Many car companies are working on driverless cars. There are many pros and cons of driverless cars. Driverless cars is a very debatable topic. Some believe they can change the world with these cars.
I believe that this idea is completely unnecessary. The money could be put to much better use than having driverless cars. In the 1950s GM created a car that ran on a special test track. The track had special roads that worked with special cars. To make this work they would have to upgrade roads. Though the idea worked well, the idea was too expensive to fund.
The driver assists, like special breaks and motion sensors are a good idea, but not driveless cars. Some pros of having driverless cars are, people wouldn't have to pay attention to the road and do what they want while in the car. Sure it would make life easier. Think about when a teenager first gets their license. Most don't know their way around everywhere. With a regular car, I think it would be better for them to drive around and get familiar with their environment. If they had a driverless car, they wouldn't really pay attention to where they're going. So if the car was to malfunction, they wouldn't know where they're going. Also if an accident were to occur, it would be hard to tell who is at fault.
I think driverless cars are a bad idea, because they're unnecessary. It will be another product for rich people. Also i think it will be a safely hazard. | 2 |
The author of the passege wants to explore the planet Venus. The supports to this idea don't seem like the right fit to encourge someone it's a good idea to explor Venus. Although the planet Venus is the closest to earth in many ways, the planet is very dangerous. Venus havd mountains, valleys, and crators just like earth. The planet has 97 percent of carbon dioxide blankets covering the thick atsomsphere. The average temeratures on the planet range over 800 degrees fahrenheit. Venus's atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on earth. So why do scientist continue to discuss about exploring Venus even though they know of the dangers there. Some Scientist believe that Venus had large oceans and could have had life there. None of the space crafts heading to Venus never lasto more than a few hours. In conclusion these are the reasons why I believe the author used bad supports for their idea, of exploring Venus. | 0 |
Using the Facial Action Coding System in a classroom setting for students is valuable because it can enhance how humans can express and analyze emotions to and from each other. A valuable skill to learn is being able to express ones thoughts and emotions to others well. Learning this is school is essential for students in the classroom and wherever else they go in life for a better knowledge of how to listen to others and also communicate a message with a certain tone to others. Humans unconsciously convey through their face what they are feeling, but completely knowing how a person is feeling from their facial expression is not always possible. With this accurate technology, the software can translate "anatomical information as electronic code." Examining the way that one reveals emotion through their face can help that person to fine tune their expressions to convey or even conceal their thoughts and emotions. Through this technology students would be able to have a better understanding of how to express emotions and messages to others in addition to analyzing what others communicate to them. | 1 |
Car-free events have been happening often around the world. This event helps with pollution and smog. As it was said on these sources it is helping with environment, families etc. Families have said that they really like the new "trend" of not using your car or motorcycle on a specific day. This specific days have been established by a few groups around each of the places that it has been happening.
Cars in this time period have become a problem but at the same time it has good qualities. Teens are being allowed to drive without a license causing major accidents to others and themselves. But cars transport us where we need to be in a faster and easier way. Cars are a useful tool but only if it is used in the right way.
The government has provided states to have different options for transportation like: the bus and the train. This useful ways to transport have helped the "Car-free" event. This transportation methods may take longer but they take a larger amount of people to their destinations and not as much pollution is caused.
Evidence from this article says that mom's liked the idea of taking walks to go grocery shopping or any other place. The buildings have been built closer so the time the person has to walk is not a long one. If the day of the event you violated the rules which are to not drive your car you would get a fine. In other states they arranged it by saying that only even license numbers could go out and use their car on a specific day assigned if you were to get caught violating the fine was going to be 22-euro fine ($31).
In Germany, there were some different rules when you were to buy your house, in the overall price, you had to pay for your parking $40,000. Home garages are forbidden so are street parkings and driveways. THe only place that is not car-free is "downtown where Freigburg runs". Cars are allowed to be owned by someone but there are only two places where you could park which is the parking you pay for when buying your house. This has caused Vauban's families to not own cars at all.
In the United States, President Obama has asked: " has america passed peak driving?" this is due to the results from the age of 16- to 39-years-old, the percentage of people getting their license dropped. Now they are not even bothered or in an urge to get it.
In conclusion, there are many states approving of this event which it seems to be luckly succeding. It has changed people's way of life by taking longer to get to their destinations but getting closer as a community. | 2 |
Have you ever wondered what venus is like? Well studying venus can be very dangerous with its carbon dioxide atmosphere, clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid, extremely high temperature and more. Even though it can be dangerous it is a worthy pursuit. Studying venus is a worthy pursuit because it is our sister planet, we are very curious about it, and human can survive venus conditions.
Venus is known as Earths sister planet but we don't know much about it and have never attempted going there. Venus is Earths sister planet because the text talks about how venus is the cloest planet to earth based on size and density. Also Venus has features like vlley, mountains, and craters like earth does and Venus shows that it was most likely covered in oceans long ago and could of supported various life forms. This is why we should explore venus because it is our sister planet
Human curiosity plays a big role into why we should explore Venus. Humans are very curious about the planet since it shows signs that life could of lived there. Also it resembles Earth so much that we want to know more about its geogrpahy. In general we want to know more about this planet and get up close to it and observe it directly instead of from a far. We also want to know what gases there are and so maybe we could build something that wouldn't melt when it lands. This is how human curtiosity plays a role in discovering Venus.
Venus also is a worthy pursuit becuase the text states the temperature is 170 degrees and it states humans can survive on this planet. So even though the temperature and atmosphere seem very dangerous it is worth the exploration because humans can survive so with proper training we could explore Venus. The article also talks about NASA building something to get 30 feet off of Venus so if we can get that close then eventually we will be able to get on the planet.
In conclusion Venus is a worthy pursuit even though it shows many dangers. We can overcome those dangers and make traveling to Venus less dangerous. Since its our sister planet it is worth exploring to find more out about our own planet even. Our human curiosity makes us want to explore Venus in more depth. Also humans can survive on it so with new technology and training they can travel there and be safe. This is why traveling to Venus is a worthy pursuit because it is our sister planet, we are curious about it, and humans can already survive on it. | 3 |
limiting car usage can have many benifeits, not only to limiting emmissions of greenhouse gases but also increasing health. Putting a ban on cars on america might not effect us in a way that would be extremely inconveinient either,since the people of today have decreased driving. Also, it would help tremendously with helping the earth and decreasing greenhouse gases and pollution.
Cars have always been one of the top causes of greenhouse gases next to power plants in america. In fact, 50% of greenhouse gases generated in america are caused by passenger cars. Other places such as Bogata, Paris and Germany have limited car usage or banned cars all together to help decrease smog and pollution to better their nations. It would be of benefeit to America to do the same, maybe not ban cars all together because that would put many big car companies out of buisness but perhaps for a day America could walk or bike or ride the bus to work to better our future.
With the younger generation comes change as well. The developement of the unerground and busing systems have made it all together more conveinient to not take a car. Most young people center their activities and jobs around places they can walk or bike to easily. Recently even Bill Ford the chairman for the Ford Motor Company said "personal vehicle ownership is impractical or undesirable". He want to partner with telecommunications to provide systems where biking and public transportation decrease emissions and increase safety.
The younger generation of adults have decreased their driving in america. In fact, it has decreased by 23% between 2001 and 2009 and baised on that statistic its OK to assume that its just going to go down. So, in reality a day without cars in America wont inconveinience us that greatly anyways. Limiting car usage is benifeicial and an important step to keeping our earth clean. we only get one earth and biking to school or work every now and again is a sacrifice we should be willing to take to keep it for our future generations. | 2 |
Luke was working two part-time jobs in a grocery store and a bank. When his friend Don asked him to go on a cattle boat Luke couldn't say no. It was and opportunity of a life time and Luke knew it. In 1945 the World War ll was over in Europe and many countries were left in ruins.44 nations joined together to form UNRRA (the United Nations Rlief and Rehabilition Administration).They hired seagoing cowboys to take care of all the animals. So Luke and Don signed up.
In August 1945,they received an order to go to New Orleans. They arrived on the 14th of August the day the pacific war ended says Luke. They got there papers and got a boat called the SS Charles W. Wooster and headed towards Greece. They were delivering 335 horses and enough hay and oats to feed them. Be for they got to Greece Luke turned 18 years old. That ment that he could be drafed at any time to go to war. When he told them that he was on a cattle-boatr trip they told him to do it for the Military Service. Luke had made nine trips that more then any seagoing cow boy has ever made.
The cattle boat trip was an alsome trip for a small town boy Luke say. besides helping people he also got to see different countries like all of Europe and China but when he saw Acropolis in Greece it was special to him Luke says. It toke Luke and Don abount two weeks to crose the Atlantic ocean from the eastern coast that is a long time on water non stop that would make me sick and never ride a boat again but sometimes you have to do things you dont want to do.
When Luke was little he helped his aunt Katie's farm ou when he was a boy and he has worked hard ever since that is my dream is to work on a farm. It did not teach him the dangers of the sea though. When he was on his secened trip he was a night watchman. He had to check on all of the animals every hour and that was easy i bet because of him helping on a farm when he was a kid that was the same but it was on a boat. When he was reporting to the captin one time he slipoed and fell on the ground and a peice of meatal stop him from going over board.
So that was my eassy on Luke and his life I really liked this story alot i would have wrote more but i am about out of time so thats all i got. I found out that that peice of meatal craked his ribs so he could not work for a acouple of days witch that might of hert his body every day till it was helled but i do nt know because i am not Luke and that is the end of my story. | 0 |
Driverless cars are going to be more of a problem for people than they are going to help them. Throughout the article it talks about how much technology it needs for the cars to work. It also talks about how many things need to change for these cars to do any good. Driverless cars are not what is good for the future.
The cars are not even completely driverless which can be very misleading for most people. According to the text, "They can steer, acclerate, and brale themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents." The drivers are just going to be sitting there doing nothing while the car drives, and they have to keep their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel. Do the companies not think of how dreadful that is going to be for the driver on a long trip?
The text states, "This means human drivers must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires." These quotes from the text support that the cars need a driver to be there ready and alert for them to even work. Making them not driverless.
In many states it is illegal to test the driverless cars because they do not think that they are safe. The text states, "As a result, in most states, it is illegal to test computer-driven cars." Some states are allowing restricted testing for the cars, but most do not agree that they are advanced enough yet to be around other cars and pedstrians. This is not good for the manufactures of the cars.
According to the text, "...manufactures belive that more states will follow as soon as the cars are proved more reliably safe." These quotes from the text suggest that the cars have not been proven safe yet.
Driverless cars are going to take a lot of sensors for them to work. This can make the cars very costly. According to the text, "For starters, they needed a whole lot of sensors." Another example from the text, "Google modified Toyota Prius uses position-estimating sensors of the left rear wheel, a rotating sensor on the roof, a video camera mounted near the rearview mirror, four automotive radar sensors, a GPS reciever and inertial motion sensor." This is just a small list of how many sensors it is going to take for the cars to the ability to drive like humans " The text also states, "The combination of all of this input is necessary for the driverless car to mimic the skills of a human at the wheel." These quotes show that the cars require many sensors that are not necessay for when a human drives the car. The cars require more than they are worth.
However, some say that driverless cars will be good for society. The text states, "The cars he foresees would use half of the fuel of today's taxis and offer far more flexibility than a bus." The text also states, "Their cars have driven more than half a million miles without a crash..." However, those who say that driverless cars will be good do not see that problems with that cars, such as the laws. The author states, " If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault-the driver or the manufacturer?" The people who belive in driverless cars do not see how much more advanced we need to be with technology to pull this off.
Driverless cars are not the way for the future to go. The cars are not safe, and they are impractical. They are going to dissapoint many because they are not fully driverless. Driverless cars have been a bad idea from the start. | 3 |
Face On Mars
Have you ever wondered if there was possibly other life forms out there, living on other planets? In 1976, NASA'S spacecraft "Viking 1" was circling Mars and taking photos. Suddenly, it spotted a form that almost looked like a human face. Some conspiracy theorists assume and consider it to be evidence of other life forms, while NASA knows it's just another landform on Mars. It's common to have forms like that around Cydonia, it's also proven that there is no alien monument at all, and the pictures actually show that it's a martian similar to land forms here on Earth. All the evidence NASA has brought upon us has proven that it is just another land form on Mars.
Firstly, it is common around Cydonia to have land forms as such. NASA
has taken plenty of pictures of Mars to know that it's quite common for there to be land forms like this. Although it may have unusual shadows, NASA could only wish that there would be possible evidence of ancient civilization on Mars. It being common, creates a slimmer chance of it being crafted by other life forms.
However, when Mars Global surveyor in April 5, 1998, Michael Malin was able to snap pictures with his Mars Orbiter Camera team. These pictures were much more clear. When the image was first revealed on a JPL web site, they realized it was only a natural landform. There was no alien monument to be seen. This strong evidence shows that with a clear image, there is no sign of any alien monument.
Furthermore, the pictures show that it's a Martian equal to a butte or mesa lanforms, seen around the American West. This evidence clearly shows that it's related to Earth land forms like the Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain in Idaho. This Earth landform is only a lava dome. The height is similar to the height to the face on Mars. These landforms being equal, show that it's normal to have land forms such as the Face on Mars.
But, perhaps the alien markings were hidden by haze, and there could be possible evidence that aliens are indeed out there. Maybe a closer look into the image would clearify these statements. However, as likely as it sounds, the pictures taken were accurate, with an advanced camera.
Nevertheless, the chances of this Face on Mars being created by aliens is proven false. NASA
may hope that someday they might discover evidence of other life forms. Until then, they have supporting explanations on why it's not. For it to be common to have land forms like the Face on Mars, gives enough clearification. As well as, there being no alien monument at all, and the pictures actually showing a land form similar to ones on Earth. We never know what the future holds, so will NASA ever discover facts that support the conclusion of there being life on other planets? | 3 |
The author suggest the reader to study Venus isnt directly in the text but he/she gives you the idea that you should look into it. Throughout the article the author talks about Venus and others planets in out solar system. but he mainly talks about Venus and Mars. The author tells us that Venus isn't actaully a Evening star, it just has that name because it is closer to the sun. Venus is also referred to as Earth's "twin" because it is the closest planet to us in density and size and sometimes distance. In the text it says "Venus can be right around the corner in space'. Even though Venus is right around the corner we have still yet to land an actually spaceship on it. There hasn't been any space craft the a has been successfully on Venus for more than a few hours.. Although in paragraph 6 it says ''many researchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to long enough to contribute meaning to our knowledge of Venus''. This is tell us that there is still stuff to learn about mars and this story isnt complete. | 0 |
Dear Senator,
I think that we should change over to election by popular vote. I thinks that because in the Electoral College the voters dont vote on the president, but instead they vote on the electors who then vote for the president. "It's official: the electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational. "The advocates of this position are correct in arguing that the Electoral College method is not democratic in a modern sense....it is the electors who elect the president, not the people. There are five reasons for getting rid of the Electoral College despite its lack of democratic pedigree; all are preactical, not liberal or conservative reasons. Some people disagree though they think that we should stick with the electoral college. They think its a good way to do the voting because they get to choose the electors who will choose our president. Inconclusion, I think that we should do election by popular vote because then the voters get to choose the president.
Sincerly,
Britney | 1 |
Hi my name is PROPER_NAME and I work for NASA discussing with someone who thinks that the face was created by aliens but I said "Well it couldn't be created by aliens because we all know is that aliens are not real" and so I am still trying to figure out how this face has been created.
When I saw the pictures from 1976 to 2001 I saw one of the pictures and the picture from 1998 it looks like that something has hit the face and causing it to destroy it and to me it looks like a metor hit the face and in 2001 the face looks like its fading away and in 1976 it looks like it was popping out but when a metor hit it its goes away.
"Although few scientists believed the Face was an alien artifact, photoraping Cydonia became a priority for NASA when Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) arrived at the Red Planet in Sept.1997, eighteen long years after the Viking mission ended." Paragraph 6. | 0 |
I have done many things in my years, but I will never forget about being a Seagoing Cowboy. I have seen and done many things being one. There are many reasons as to why you should be one too.
I've been to several places all over the world and all of them have been very exciting. If you were to be a Seagoing Cowboy, you would see several places too. Although it could take up to a month to get to the place you need to be, there are several things to keep you busy and entertained. One way you would keep busy would be caring for the animals during the crossings. You would have to feed and water all of them two to three times a day, but its fun if you love animals. Although it can be fun on the way to your destination, its most fun on the way back when all of the animals are off of the ship. We would play baseball, volleyball, table-tennis, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and others to help pass time and keep us entertained.
You might think that feeding, watering, and cleaning their cages for the animals would be boring, but thats not all you do on the job, I promise. There are so many great opportunities to being a Seagoing Cowboy, so many sites that you could see and be a part of. I'm very lucky to have made the choice to be a Seagoing Cowboy and I encourage you to be one too. | 2 |
What I think about driveless cars isthat it should be allowed but it shouldnt. I think this because it would be kind of cool to have a driverless car but there will be some consequences that come with it. The person your are buying it from could persuade you into buying it but he or she could be lieing to you because its all about buisness. When my mom always says there is always a plot to something like if you buy the driverless car there could be things that could happen ,they will not tell you its dangerous. They will try to tell you how cool it is and why you need to buy it. There could be also some good things about it like being able to text and drive, eat while driving, or other things like multitasking. When you read they tell you that they are fascinating but in your eyes you see the best thing ever. So if I were to tell someone who wanted the car I would tell them to do some research on the car so they know how much they are spending and getting themselves too. After i tell thim this i will ask them if they really need this car or want it, and if they say yes and get the car later on when the car is not so good I am probably going to say told you so and they are probable going to look at me and smile. even though this BMW is a cool car the cost of it is not so cool so i think it would be both ways for me. I would say yes, but i would say not it just depened what you are really wanting to do when its out of style and no one wants the car any more. But there are even more consequences to this , if you dont take care of it it will be dirty and if you dont want to clean it the cost will be extremely expensive ,because its a cool carand more. So if i were to choose this car i might say yes. | 0 |
