Phonebloks

A Phone Worth Keeping

     Have you ever went to Best Buy and pleaded to your parents for a phone. Well, in my blog below you will find a phone worth begging for. Atleast that's what I think. Phonebloks is a new design that came out last year (so I can't really call it new) that is worth supporting and especially buying. It's built up of compartments so that you can customize it. Also, it is made up of wasted electronic parts so it's recycling. So let's start off with customizing. This phone is made up of compartments like I had said earlier. The neat thing is, though, that for instance you are an outdoors person who likes taking pictures. Then you could take out/decrease the space of the speed area. By doing this you can upgrade your camera to make your camera better than the nokia ones in the commercials. Check the video below to get even more information.

My Opinion

     I think it is amazing to have such a unique phone. Especially with these one of a kind characteristics. I support Phonebloks and I think you should, too. This phone could be as popular as the iphone except for an even longer amount of time. Because of it's special ability to be able to have it customized, it can be useful to all. Unlike the iphone or Samsung it can be useful to a sit-around-all-day type of person.who does't even use pictures. You could just take that and almost every thing else out and keep two major components, the battery and the speed. Taddaa! This is one of the many reasons i think Phonebloks will reach the popularity of an iphone and excell beyond it!

Your Turn

     You saw the components of the Phonebloks. By now you probably know most of them. So now you, in the comments below, write a description of how you wuld customize your Phonebloks phone. You could make it all battery and speed, or u can add a camera, or...well the possibilties are almost limitess. So are you up to the challenge. Well' ready or not, your mission starts now!

Can You Train A Goldfish?

Goldfish

     Thanks to the Chinese Sun Dynasty we now have more than 100 types of goldfish. Although have you ever thought that a goldfish could be as trained as a dog. According to wonderopolis.org it states," Though some people claim that goldfish might not be the brightest bulbs in the tank, researchers are making discoveries that blow this theory out of the water." Now that is surprising. Also, if you watch the video below it looks the goldfish has the mind of a tamed lion combined with the mind of an exceptionable dog (you might want to skip the beginning 'cause it's nothing but song).

My Opinion

     I am surprised to find out that goldfish could be trained fish. In wonderopolis.org it says that according to a study lead by Jonathan Lovell at Plymouth University found that some fish can be successfully trained to swim toward a particular sound. This is amazing! Now we might even be able to invent a particular underwater mail system. We just have to put the exact sound and attach a piece of mail to that fish and it will go there all by itself (If this idea becomes a million dollar idea I get 75% of the profit. Yeah, I think that's a fair share.). The only problem is that they might not go as fast as a plane sooooo... WE ADD ROCKET BOOSTERS TO THEIR SIDES! Also, these rocket boosters should be powered by anything we don't use and leave to the side or what people litter. You will thank me for this idea in the future.

Your Turn

Now it's your turn. You heard me writing about how trained goldfish could change the everyday to day life of us humans with that mail system with the goldfish. Well I'm challenging you to write another invention or system that could be used because of the trained goldfish. Will you make a million dollar idea like mine, or a bankrupt one like...well I don't actually know. Well anyways it's all up to you. Peace!

My Gift To A Baby Would Have To Be...

Wow

     If you were a baby what would you want for your first/second birthday. Maybe a toy truck or possibly a stuffed animal. What about a cardboard box? Right now, I bet that you're making one of those awkward and confused faces and you might be hoing like waaaahhhhhh! Also, you're welcome for your baby brother's/sister's next birthday present. Anyways, let's get back to the topic. Where were we? Oh yea, the part where you're like waahhhhh! I wish I could see the look on your face. It would've been priceless. You probably would've never thought that 'cause you use it to ship stuff from place to place it would've been a babies gift from me. Obviously now, you must not even know that the cardboard box was added to the National Toys Hall of Fame in 2005!


To show even more how much fun a cardboard box could be watch the video below. It was HILARIOUS.

My Opinion

     I think it is a great fact that most babies love cardboard boxes as a gift. I mean...to make it into the toy Hall of Fame is unimaginable.Also, would you ever think a baby would love a cardboard box more than the toy inside of it (as seen in the first video). That's hysterical. But look at the posssibilities. You could use your imagination as a baby to unlimittless creativity and that box could turn into your first roller coaster. That's amazing once you think about it.

Your Turn

If you were a baby what would you? What would you make out of a cardboard box? A roller coaster, a train, or even a master peice? Write your answer in the comments below. Peace!

The Oldest Living Tree

Introduction

     Have you ever grown a tree? If you have you would probably know it takes a long time to grow, longer than a flower or crops. They reach great heights, but that involves the disadvantage of time spand. Also, have you ever noticed that when you go outside you might be along side some of the oldest organisms you could ever find. Trees!

That's Old!

     Yes, these trees could be hundreds or even thousands of years old. Unless trees are harmed they can live for centuries. So scientists have looked for the oldest tree in the world. Well, right now we believe it is the ancient bristlecone pine. It's name, Methuselah ( name of the oldest person in the Bible). Methuselah's age? Over 4,840 years old! Yup, you heard me. 4,840 years old. Just how when was she born. Well, this 5,000 year old tree was born on approximately 3,000 B.C. Wow!

My Opinion

     I think it is just amazing to know there is something out there that we could see that could be one of the oldest organisms we might see. Although, it wasn't always the top dog. There was an even older bristlecone named Prometheus. This tree was over 5,000 years old. To my disturbance I found out it had been CUT DOWN in Nevada by a U.S. Federal Service graduate in 1964. I can't believe it! An older tree than this cut down. This gut must be crazy. Taking a peice of our history and nature and destroying it. Atleast there's another tree which I hope will survive into the future.

Your Turn

You know how i talked about the graduate cutting down that tree. Well in the coments below tell me what you would do in his place. Cut the tree down or Keep it alive for the future. Please pick the one that includes no history and nature being destroyed (hint hint:don't let the tree die if that were you). Remember, that tree's feelings depend on what you write so make it nice (tear tear). Peace out!
