Technology

Technology is the branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means. I would say the top 5 most important technologies are phones, computers, cars, electricity and airplanes. I think these because without these technologies life would be much harder. I think the least important technologies are i pods, lawn mowers, toasters, TV's and blow dryers. I believe that these are the least important, because these technologies are not serving a great need. AES has the correct technology which really helps the students get there work done efficiently. In conclusion technology can help greatly or it can serve almost no point.

Kurt Vonnegut

Even though I do love the damn fool computer, i agree with Kurt Vonnegut.I strongly agree that we the people should be doing the becoming, not the technology doing the becoming. I also agree with Kurt Vonnegut's story, "Harrison Bergeron" because I do think that if people take being equal to the extreme, the world could turn the way it did in the book. Also, I agree that computers can "brainwash" you like in "Euphio". I agree because some people get really interested in them, and always use them. Over all agree with Kurt Vonnegut, but i love computers- i am a hypocrite.

Victory

We set our tactics
They set their guard
We mustered our strength, and prepared to enter “no mans land”
They began with a blitz
We met their assault, with our own barrage
They mobilized their forces
We defended against their raid, and exploited their weakness
Their guard fell
We pierced their shield and victory was ours…
…we are the soccer champions!

Goal Update

My last quarters goals were get an A in AR because that really helps my grade, to prepare better for Socratic seminars, and to talk less in class because i need to be more respectful to my teachers and my peers.
I think I completed these goals pretty well, i got an A+ in AR. Also, i got much better grades on my Socratic seminars because I prepared. My last goal was to talk less in class, i think i improved that but I can still do better in the future.
For fourth quarter i would again like to talk less in class. Also, i would like to finish my population project before it is due, (not at the last minute) and i would like to try and study more for test through out the whole week,(not just study the night before).

Oxymoron

Holy war is just as much as an oxymoron as jumbo shrimp. I think this because being holy is generally peaceful and sacred, and war is definitely not sacred or peaceful. There are so many holy wars, because people think that god wants them to fight, or that they are fighting for god. Holy wars are mostly fought because of religious conflicts and disagreements. I still do not find this a reasonable excuse to fight. I think everyone should have their own opinion and shouldn’t have fight about it.
