Irony

The main visuals are the mom and dad and little kid sitting in the middle of the picture. Eating dinner. The issue that this cartoon is showing is how instead of talking to each other like how we used to, we are now using computers to do that for us. This is another example of how technology is ruling our lives and taking OVER THE WORLD!!! The cartoonists opinion is that the kid is too lazy to tell his parents how his day was instead they have to check the internet to find out. The parents expression and what the kid said to his parents is a way of how the cartoonist showed how he/she feels.

I AM BLOGGING RIGHT NOW THATS WHAT MAKES THIS IRONIC...!!! HAAHHHAHAHAAH

This picture shows how we let technology run our lives. How we are so dependent of computers and laptops that we cant even talk to the people around us without bringing the internet or facebook or msn into the picture. Young people probably wouldn't be able to live a day without a computer. We have revolutionized in technology but for the worst. The fact that the family is having dinner and that is mostly the time when families sit around and talk to each other about their work day or school day, this makes it more persuasive. And how the "TELL" is underlined and in bold writing makes the writing more bold and clear.

Feedback About Technology

The definition of technology is the practical application of science to trade or industrialize. There are not any top technologies because there isn't just one thing you need in order for it to work, there are a couple. For example: a cellphone you need a service provider, a sim card, money in order to make a call, and a couple of other things for the cellphone to be of good use. Another example is the laptop: you need internet, a hard drive, programs, charger and much more. In technology, you cant just have one thing to work and expect the rest to fall into place, you have to take it each step at a time.

I think that AES should use computers and laptops more often. It should be a necessity that everyone has their own laptops. That way if someone damages or breaks a laptop, it'll be their own one and the school wouldn't have to pay for anything. Plus we probably wouldn't use paper as much as we use it now because we could send our paper in via email. Life would be so much easier...

Agreeing With Kurt Vonnegut

"What you can become is the miracle you were born to work—not the damn fool computer."

I agree with Kurt Vonnegut because we are the ones who are suppose to evolve not the computers. Technology has improves so quickly over the last few years but we have still stayed the same. I am a Luddite, I personally don't like using computers or laptops, I prefer to hand write or hand in a hard copy rather than sending via email.

In The Euphio Question, Lew and Fred had used the technology from space to make people happy. They broadcast a "hissing" sound over the radio and anyone near it would become happy and forget all problems. You didn't have to be in the room for the happiness to overcome you, the radiation would still get you. The conned people into buying land but the people are too happy to care. An unexpected blackout happened and Fred realized that the sound can hurt people and destroy lives, so he suggested that they exterminate the "hissing" sound. Lew on the other hand wanted to make millions and billions because one shot of the radiation and you didn't have a care in the world. Fred, out of anger, crushed the machine and destroyed it forever. Or so he thought. While talking to the Federal Communication Center, Fred was explaining to them that the sounds waves where bad and were taking over their lives, but Lew cleverly gave Fred a shot of the radiation and everyone went high.

I think what Kurt is trying to say; is that technology is taking over our lives. We are so obsessed with getting the latest gadgets that we are not living our lives the way we should be. Our grandparents keep saying, "That's not how we used to do it in the older days." But their right we have evolved but not for the best. We have become so preoccupied with discovering space and reinventing the Ipod that we don't even have time to think about our surroundings and what we are doing to the planet.
Hopefully we realized and notice the problem before its too late.

Feedback on goals!! 4th quarter

In the 3rd Quarter my goals were to:
1) Getting over a B-.
2) Score higher than an 80% on my quizzes and tests.
3) Keep doing my homework the night it is given.

I did not manage to get over a B- but missed it and got a C+. My quizzes last quarter i did pretty badly on. I was doing well en at the beginning but then something happened and i started to go down hill... But i did do my homework the night it was given, and hope i keep doing that in the 4th quarter.

My new goals:
1) Get over a B and ask for help when needed.
2)Score higher than an 80% on my quizzes and tests.
3) Keep doing my homework the night it is given and work each week on the POP Project.

HOLY WAR!!

The definition of Holy is "dedicated or devoted to the service of God, the church, or religion." War is "a conflict carried on by force of arms, as between nations or between parties within a nation; warfare, as by land, sea, or air." Holy War is an oxymoron because the words are completely different. Ones represents peace and the other represents violence.
The people are fighting for what they believe in, the more people that die the stronger their religion becomes. Many people think that by killing your making your point loud and clear.

Can history Repeat Itself??

Believe it or not, we have discovered new ways of solving our problems. Not everything nowadays leads to violence. I dont thing there will be World War 3 in my lifetime because most of the problems that countries had with each other on 18's and 19's have being solved to a limit. Some people might still have hatred in their heart but no one can hold a grudge forever.


Maybe not in my lifetime but in the future their might be a World War 3 because of some stupid decision that the government . Even if there was another war, the country's weapons would knock out each other in a matter of minutes.

Letter from WW2

Dear Nicole
This might be the last time I write to you. As i sit here in my cramped little tent dreaming of all the good times we have shared together, my love. Hitler has ordered us to triple the tanks, soldiers and blitzkrieg. But Poland seems srtonger than I had thought. All hope and faith has long gone from my body, now only the thought of you on my mind will keep a small light in my heart buring. The commander has given each of us food rations that might only last us a week but since there are so many of us, that is what we have to live with.


Innocent blood has been spilt at the hands of men that call themselves soldiers who are defending their country. We have not only defeated Poland but destroyed any means of them rebuilding their once great nation. The cystal blue sky that I gazed upon a week ago is now blackened with gun power from rifles and fierce bombings. The clean sweet smelling air is now filled with a rotting stench of innocent woman, children and men who never got to say good-bye to their loved ones. The ground that Polish children once rode their bikes on, is now covered with massive dents made by our atomic bombs.

Our living conditions are not the greatest but after a long day of fighting, our eyes just close and we drift away to a wonderful place. But are soon awaken by the sound of a loud man screaming at the top of his lungs. The air is damp and icy in the mornings but during the day we're too busy fighting for our country, that we dont really feel the chilly weather. I cant remember what its like to feel steaming hot water against my back, the smell of a clean, dirt free body or even the texture of a cotton towel alongside my face. My only wish now is to see you for one last time. And I hope that if I die you are able to find love again because i know that my spirit will always be alive in your heart and soul.

Your loving husband
Abe Longstockings
