Are Dragons Real?

The Beast

     At young ages you might think that dragons are real. You may say that knight killed them all or they rule the sky world or something. But, now people are saying that they are actually real. Just think about it...there are stories about these mythological creatures in many cultures. They all speak of them as these flying beasts. How would all these people think of this exact same creature? This leads many people to believe that they were at one point real. Maybe they were killed with the dinosaurs during the meteor shower or died of no food after the meteor shower. This leads many people to conclude DRAGONS ARE REAL!!!

My Opinion

     Wow! Dragons could possibly be real!!! I mean this is amazing. A new species known to man yet not thought real. If we had proof people against that would feel like a fool on April Fools Day! I wonder what they would be like. Tiny? Huge? Winged? Fire breathing!?? Maybe in the future-hopefully in our life time-we will find evidence of the beastly species. But, we can't control the future so we'll just have to wait and be patient. Or maybe you could, yourself, just go and discover the animal. Overall, it is an exciting "doozy".

Your Turn

     Now do your part as I did mine. In the comments below tell me or list the characteristics or abilities you may think the dragon may have if it were existing. It may be to you a huge winged beast while to someone else a small reptillian, tiny, animal. It depends on you and how you are. So, make me proud and finish this task. PEACE!!!

The Iphone 6!

A Better Phone

     Many people want a phone, right? Well, this is a phone worth waiting for, coming out in September. With new features such as a transparent screen, the skinniest and lightest iPhone yet, and the home button is touch screen. Isn't it soooooooo cool! Read ahead to find all about the iPhone 6. Watch the video below to have a preveiw of the iPhone 6.

My Opinion

     Wow!!! The new iPhone is rapidly hitting us with new features. I think the modified home button and transparent front is the best improvement to the iPhone. I wish there were new colors it could come in, though. Not that it's a big deal, anyways. For the last two iPhones that came out the colors were really the only difference. Besides that nothing really changed. That's why they were bad to me.

Your Turn

     Now that you know about the iPhone 6 tell me which iPhone you liked or will like best. Please post your answer in the comment secton below. Also, if you want you can tell me if you liked the iPhone 6 or not. Please support your answer with specific details (I just realized as I am reading this I sound like a teacher or some kinda' nerd). Peace!!!

Is Technology More Harmful Than It Seems?

Good or Bad (Part 1)

  
   
    Have you ever done homework Sunday night rushing to finish 20 math problems or tried to type up an essay all while watching TV, checking your Facebook page, texting your friend, and watching YouTube? Out of the question, though, technology is very useful. With Facebook you could stay in touch with friends that are oceans and 100's of miles away and texting is also a second use for that. YouTube makes learning easier by just searching up educational videos. We can't forget Google either. With this search engine you can find the capital of Rome in 3 seconds flat.

Good or Bad (Part 2)

     As you know There is a bad side to technology ,even though you might be trying to say no because you support it. Some people don't care about work. They say they will use their device for working purposes yet to find out that they have never done anything school related on it besides texting students from class. Have they ever even went outside to talk face to face or play some football together. Pick your side. What do you think?

• Good   X Bad

     As you know technology has many abilities, including educational ones. Where do you think people get the information for projects and reports from? Besides books it's most probably going to be from electronics. In addition, (as I had said before)they allow you to stay in touch with others, you could see educational videos that can teach you new things, and you could find useful info in three seconds flat. All this with a simple (not actually simple for some people) device making life easier and in some cases more fun.

   

• Bad     X Good

     Did you know the average American teenager owns three to four technological devices. Many experts think these are just distractions not helping students learn anything. Think about it. Have you ever used your phone for an emergency or just to text your friends. Plus, all that time having that laptop on your lap or your phone in hand takes time away from real time relationships.

You Turn

     Now it's your turn (as I had said in the heading above). With the evidence above chose which side you are on. Don't just chose based on your opinion, but on the facts in the article. Write all this in the comments below with or without supporting details to back up your side and maybe even including counterarguments for the other side. Pick you side!

A Personal Water Craft

Introduction

     Maybe people enjoy deeping their feet in a pool while others like to speed over the water. You probably know what I'm talking about. A speedboat! Have you ever ridden in one? It could be a wonderful experience to bumb around the top of the water and feeling the spray of water in your hair. To make it even better, would you like to ride a bike or motorcycle on top of the water?!? Wouldn't that be cool? Well, this can all come possible with a personal water craft. You may know or heard of theses fantastic machines. Maybe seen them on lakesor heard of them in books. Since the 1960s, these tint, speedy personal boats have become extremely popular. One difference between a personal water craft (PWC) and a speed boat is that the speed boat has a powerful propeller that boosts it forward. Well, a PWC is moved by powerful squirts of water that propel it forward. You might think that how would the water be able to push the car with great speed even though it sometimes carries a weight way more than itself. Well, this is all done with a huge engine probably the size of one in a small car or in a big motorcycle. Check the video below to see Alexander Petrovic, one of the nest jetskiers testing a personal water craft out.

My Opinion

     Did you see that amazing stunt dude!!! That was amazing!!! I just can't believe those amazing stunts he did. They were outstanding!!! Esspescially that water craft. That looks really nice, fancy, and the latest (it looks like that at least). Would you like to ride one of these amazing vehicles? I would (maybe). I would want a professoinal to ride and me be on the vehicle behing them. The only worry I would have is falling off or getting hurt.

Yout Turn

     Do you remember what I had said earlier? About the part that asked would you like to ride a personal water craft? Weel, that's what I am gonna' ask you again. Would you? Post your answer in the comments below. Please support your answer with reasons why chose what you chose. So...Would you?!?

Cars of the Future

Introduction

     Many key days in life of others are the day they get a car. High school students usually want a car in their sophomore year. In the future they will be begging for one of those new cars that have opened new possibilities in the automotive world. But, we all know that these possibilities have not yet been unlocked. It all started with Glenn Curtiss who tried to invent the flying ( it never really flew, though).  That's when everyone else started trying to hit that accomplishment. Although, not all futuristic cars have to fly. There have been other ideas such as adaptive cruise control. Adding the word adaptive made it futuristic because if the traffic increases it will slow down by itself. That will be a great advancement-to me.
 

My Opinion

     I, myself, think it's amazing that are traffic today might once be considered air traffic. Speaking of air traffic what do you think will be the first automotive advancement. Flying cars or adaptive cruise control. Also, how much do you think it will cost? Probably more than a million (I'm not joking). But still, it'll be great know there is a new type of technological path that could branch off to other amazing ideas.

Your Turn

     Now it's your turn. What do you think will be the first advancement? Also, if you can ( I don't know if it's possible) send a picture to me about how the futuristic car would look. Put this all in the comments below. PEACE!
    
    

Walt Disney

An Amazing Life

     Walt Disney had a unique early life that obviously lead to the success he had as an adult. To start from the beggining he was born on December 5, 1901 in Chicago, Illinios. For most of his childhood he drew, painted, and sold pictures to neighbors, family, and friends. As he grew up he moved to Kansas City. There he found a new job with the railroad, selling snacks. Later he attended McKInley High School where he took drawing and photography classes.For a family life he married one of his first employees, Lillian Bounds. They would later be blessed with 2 daughters. As he lived he had some major accomplishments. First of all, Walt created a new character , Mickey Mouse. Secondly he made the world's first synchronized sound cartoon. Thirdly, in 1932, the production entitled Flowers and Trees won Walt the first if his studios Academy Awards.

Quotes

     Through out Walt's life he had many famous qoutes. One of the quotes he had said was,"If you can dream it, you can do it." My opinion for this quote is that since it inspires someone to follow your dreams it is a good quote to live by. Another quote he said was,"The way to get started is to quit talking and bedin doing." This qoute I like because it means you can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk. The third and final quote I'm going to be sharing is."All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them." My opinion for this qoute is that I like it because it shows that in order to do something you need to try.

Accomplishments

     Walt Disney acheived many things in his life. I'm going to talk about 3 of them. Did you know Walt created the new, now-famous character,Mickey Mouse? This is amazing. Just think asking little children who Walt DIsney is. At first they probablt won't know. But, once I say he created Mickey Mouse they will be like I LOVE WALT DISNEY!!! Another one of his accomplishments was that he made the world's first synchronized sound cartoon. A synchronized sound cartoon is a cartoon that...I'll just give an example. It's when if a character gets hit with a pot that sound of him getting hit is what you will hear. The third and final accomplishment I am going to talk about is that in 1932, the production Flowers and Trees won Walt the first of his studio's Academy Awards. This could inspire someone because in the life that he went through he was so successful that anyone could probably be as successful with not-so-good lead life.

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!
