Technology

Technology is the advancement of tools, for a better and more efficient new tool. Technology is basically the way humans improve old tools or items into new one with more uses or better uses.
Lots of items have been developed; 5 of the ones most used by us are:

• Cellphone
• i-pod
• Laptop
• Cars
• Television
  

5 technologies we don't use as often are:

• Airplanes
• Lawnmowers
• Microwaves
  
• Hairdryers
  
• Vacuum cleaners

I think AES has got a good amount of technology. It's a very modern school and uses it's technology wisely; as well as teaching their students how to use it and take care of it.

Kurt Vonnegut

Kurt vonnegut seems to thinks all computers are bad, and in a way I agree but not to the point were I would destroy a computer. By what he writes in the Euphio Question it seems that he belives computers have the abillity to brainwash and overwhelm you without you being able to stop it, he gives an example of this by comparing machines to mariguana in pg 193 "Aperantly that's like walking past a field of burnning marijuana". I have to agree and say that computers can in a way brain wash but I belivve Kurt is underestimmating the capabilty of the human brain by think computers can take over our lifes. Computers are here to make our lifes easier not to take control of them. I think the reason Kurt Vonnegut writes about technology in this way is because he is scared of what technology can do, and he likes things the way they are because the future is unexpected and he doesnt like that.

Non-Coflict Poem

Cereal Bowl Poem
I poured myself my bowl of cereal, not forgetting his ally the milk;
Then I looked into my arsenal wondering what weapon to wield.
Eventually I deciphered that the spoon would be the best choice,
Because of its ability to shield my shirt from the pouring milk.
All of a sudden I launched my invasion into the unaware bowl of cereal,
The thrust of my spoon easily impaled the cereal; killing my hunger.
I kept the mobilization of my spoon as I read the propaganda on the box.
The containment of my appetite was liberating,
Making me feel full of strength for the day ahead.

Goals 4 quarter

I think I successfully achieved one of my goals which was to understanding my reading beyond the obvious, I did that when we read Animal Farm by relating what happened in the book to the Russian revolution. Or when we read the 43rd war how it related to real life events.
My other goal was to improve my descriptive writing and I don't think I got a chance to impore at that so I want to have that as a goal for this quarter too.

My goals for this semester are:

• improve my discriptive writting
• read more often
• work on Pop at least 30 minutes a day
