Your choice

I am now done with this padlet. I don't have to do one in February, which is a relief. I hope I never have to do one of these again. Now we start to prepare for the AP test, which is better for me so that all of my classes don't start review at thee same time and overwhelm me.

Weigh the risks and rewards of space flight by explaining why you would or would not like to be a passenger on the Space Shuttle.

The only reward I could think of from going into space would be potentially be the slim chance you make a significant discovery for humanity. Other than that, it would take a lot of training and acclimation for your body and it would take a toll on you. Also, I think it would be absolutely terrifying.

Flying cars will probably be a part of your future. What types of laws do you think we’ll need for this new invention? What will the speed limit be for flying cars? How will take offs and landings be handled?

Flying cars would need new laws such as restrictions on weight and passengers in the cars. Also, I feel as though you would need a new license altogether to operate these new vehicles. The speed limit would be somewhat similar to what they are now on the roads. Take-offs and landings would all have their own designated areas, similar to what a parking lot is now.

Research an innovation at CES, explain in your padlet what it does and why you choose this innovation.

I chose the headphones created by Nura. These headphones adjust the way the sound plays in your ears to maximize quality and clarity. It plays a series of tones into your ears, then takes that information and adjusts the playback sound in a personalized way. i chose this because I happen to use headphones on a daily basis and I understand what it is like to not have quality sound and how annoying it is.

Most inventions have pros and cons to them. Pick an invention that you believe has the most negative impact on our world. Why did you choose that invention? What do you think is wrong with it?

An invention that has had the most negative impact on the world would be cigarettes. I chose this invention because they are one of the leading causes of diseases, including cancer. They contain nicotine which is very addictive and terribly bad for you.

Elvis Presley was born on this day in 1935. Presley is well known as “The King of Rock and Roll.” Do you have a certain song or type of music that you listen to depending on your feelings? Explain why you listen to this song or type of music.

If I am feeling a certain way, then it changes what kind of music I listen to. I use music as a way to change my mood. For example, if I am sad or bored, then I generally listen to upbeat music in order to get myself hyped up. Things like this change what kind of music I listen to.
