Compassionate Science

Wanting to make a difference comes from within someone, it should not be forced. In a generation where science and technology is used for the majority of things if not all things can be used for the benefits of others. We are and could continue to reach great heights. The resources provided to us today we can make an impact of the world, but everything starts with a motive , a drive that makes our goals. The fact that technology is now used to help a amputated person once again feel like they have their arm, leg, ect. back is amazing. I understand that science and technology are two big keys in doing great things, but it's all up to the person who is putting them into practice. After all we are still humans, just given another tool, and if we use the tools correctly the impacts they would have on others lives would be immense. If I had the knowledge and was able to make a scientific difference in order to improve someone else's like I would. This because I know that if i was in the other side of the situation I would want someone to do the same.

Predictions for the Future

In Charlie Chaplin's Modern Time and Fritz Lang's Metropolis the future is predicted. My predictions would be the increasing use of holograms. There might be times where students might be able to learn from the comfort of there home not quite like home school. The teacher is going to be a hologram. Another thing that I believe might be possible in the future would be the use of microchips as ID's. This would display more information about the person and it would be stored in the person or maybe in an actual chip that would have to be carried all the time. The official would just have to scan the chip and they would be able to know the persons information. There are so many inventions that already have been invented, I think that one of the ones that I would like to see in the future would be the use of tablets in classrooms. That would be pretty neat to witness, they would be used as notebooks, and no longer caring books because the books would be stored in the tablet. In the future I predict more work being accomplished by not human workers but by machines that operate themselves. This would decrease the jobs of people. Most of all I predict holograms I would love to see that become possible, when browsing the internet in a phone, computer ect to be able to see a 3D object would be pretty astonishing. The technology that we have in this century is already pretty advanced I would love to see what the future holds!

When I laughed so much my stomach hurt...

One time that I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt was when my aunt trapped a June bug in a heart shaped box. She came in the house and told me to open it, I asked her what was in the box and she said chocolates. Which I knew was a lie because it was extremely light. I shook the box a couple of times and she was said "no, no don't do that!" she took the box and opened it out of it came a flying June bug! Everyone in the house scared, chaos everywhere but mixed in with laugher. At that moment our little neighbor was with us and he ran out the door only to miss it and crash into the wall. I was huddled into a corner, I heard the June bug buzz as loud as a helicopter in my ear. After I ran to my room and locked the door. I heard a knock and it was my aunt tells me to go outside. All of a sudden I saw the bug crawling a through the little slit on the bottom of the door. I was in the room with a June bug, screaming and laughing!

Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times.

Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times demonstrates a sense of humor in a difficult time, which is why in my opinion it was successful. It was something different to the people of that time. Everyone was used to films with sound from 1927 and when "Modern Times" came out in 1936 as a silent film it was a twist to things. This added somewhat imagination and allowed the audience to take more part of the film. Charlie Chaplin knew the hardships of people going thorough The Great Depression, this escalated the meaning of this film. The film portrayed the struggles that people might have gone through, but demonstrated that there was still hope through it all to smile. This was a ending that was unexpected because everything was looking down for the little Tram, the predictable ending was for him to continue to be unhappy. Which is not the case, the film ends with the little Tram with a smile on his face.
