Today we watched a video called Driving While Texting. This video showed us the damages texting and driving can do. It can cause major accidents. Texting and driving is compared to drinking under the influence. It can take away from your vision, and the most obvious distractions on the road can be blinding to your sight. Your Brian is not concentrating on the road, but on your texts.
In this video a nineteen year old male was driving and texting at the same time. He clipped the side of a car, and the car went spinning into a semi driver. The two people in the car were killed instantly at the scene, leaving behind their families. The driver who was texting and driving, now has to live with a huge burden of killing two men.
I did not realize how dangerous texting and driving can be. We see people do it all the time. This video has made me think and reaize that anytime you text you are risking your life, and anyone elses who is driving on the same road. You can make a simple mistake and lose consentration and end up in an accident. Texting and driving is dangerous! We should be responsible drivers and respect others. Driving is not a right, it is a privlidge.

Wireless Electricity
The video Wireless Electricity was telling us how engineers have invented wireless electricity. Wireless electricity is enabling us to charge devices without plugging them in. This way we can limit down on the number of batteries we use. About 40 thousand batteries are manufactured in a year. Once all these batteries die, they all go to the dump. This causes environment pollution.
MIT Physicists is a group that invents WiTricity. WiTricity is simply wireless electricity. Wireless electricity was invented to make it easier and cheaper for us to use. It is also healthier for us to use because it has no radiation currents. It is also healthier for our environment.
Resonant electricity transfer, comes from WiTricity technology. Resonance can use magnetic coils to get electrical currents from other devices that are plugged in, and use their electrical current to power the device. It is the efficient energy exchange between tuned resonant objects. It gives off very little energy transferred to extraneous or off-resonant objects.
If people become involved with WiTricity it will make peoples lives alot easier. You will no longer have to charge your phone or ipod in because you will be able to use WiTricity.

The Changing Web
The Internet is changing in many ways today. From when the web first came out it has grown drastically. The web is still changing today and will continue to change in the future. We use the Internet for many different reasons. The internet can be used by the young or the old. The Internet has made large numbers of peoples lives alot easier in many ways. It enables us to communicate faster and keep in touch more easily. We can also get information alot faster and eaiser too.
Since the Internet was invented it has changed the way people communicate, get information, and the way people work.
The Internet was not invented by a single person or company. It was developed by a team of experts. The start of inventing the Internet began in 1957. In 1992 Internet access was available for the common public and the use of the Internet was then expanded worldwide. After the Internet was invented experts invented many websites and pages. There are also many ways to keep in touch with people from all over the world. We can use web cam, or chat lines.
"I keep in touch with family and friends all over the country, through e-mail and a personal photo blog." (Gene) The Internet is easy to keep in touch with people from all over the world. We can use the Internet at anytime of night or day. We can unite and even meet new people online. There are many accounts that you can be a part of like facebook, twitter, blogger and many more accounts. Since the Internet was invented it has changed the way people communicate. Now instead of communicating through the phone it is easier to chat on the web, or through text.
Many people ask the question " Has the Internet changed our lives for better or for worse?" (Matthew Weigand) explains that the Internet has grown and matured for more than twenty years now, and it cannot be denied that it has affected almost everyone on the planet. The Internet definitely does things for you, and does not leave you the same as you once were. But are these good things, or bad things? Has the Internet changed our lives for the better? Yes I believe that the Internet is a good thing to have. It makes our lives that much easier in many ways such as finding information and communicating.
Many people use the Internet for their jobs."I couldn't do my job without the Internet." (Gene) Depending what career you have depends if you use the Internet or not. Alot of people use emails that contribute to their work.
Many other people need to find information the interferes with their jobs.
"How the Internet has changed our lives?" (Gene) The Internet has changed our lives because many people communicate through the web now, they also get information on the web, and most people have jobs that relate to the Internet
Can we compare the influence of the computer that the TV has in the home? (Xomba) We now can use the computer for many reasons. If you miss a T.V show or a news story you can most likely find those on the Internet. The computer can be your entertainment. It can help you with your jobs or help you when it comes to getting an education. The Internet may be taking away from family life which may be a bad reason to have the Internet in the family room. But the Internet is helpful in many ways too. Instead of looking up a topic in a encyclopedia, it is much easier to look up your topic on the Internet.
The video Did you Know 4.0 was amazing. It was telling us how technology has drastically changed. We once had computers but now the average American has as a cellphone. We can get the Internet on either device, but a cellphone is a lot cheaper and faster. We once had a computer that could fit in a building, now we can fit it in our pockets, in 25 years we will be able to fit it into a blood cell. The average teenager sends over 2000 text messages a month! You can now access the Internet on almost every mobile device or even an ipod. It is unbelievable how technology has changed over the years and will continue to change in the future. Many people download music illegally because there are so many sites you can get free music from. The Internet is used for so many reasons. The web has grown tremendously and will continue to grow in our future.

Siftables
Technology is growing. It is advancing in many different ways and for many different reasons.
Siftables were created by David Merrill and Jeevan Kalanithi. Siftables are little computers that give us the ability to engage in many different activities. Siftables are tiny computers, once they connect they interact with one another. You can create music with this new device. When these little devices connect we can add different instruments, change the tune, slow or speed up the sound, or turn up or down the volume. I think that these are really neat little objects because there is ever changing things you can do with them. You can also use siftables for educational purposes. You can play spelling games or you can learn mathematical games, or facts. This is a device that you will never get bored with, and it is also educational, so I think that people will invest in this product.
Sixthsense
'SixthSense' is a wearable gestural interface that argues the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with that information. The "sixthsense" was made in the MIT Media Lab. For the sixthsense to work you wear a the sixthsense prototype which is comprised of a pocket projector, a mirror and a camera. This enables us to find information really easy. You can write on walls or on almost any surface. For example, if you want to know the time you can draw a watch and it will give you the time. The sixthsense will become very useful in our everyday lives. Once this technology becomes advanced, it will most likely be used world wide.
