Pre-TAKS

April 26, 2010

The third link was my favorite. Even though they all gave tips on what to do if you are stressing out over a test. The third link is my favorite because it gives you tips on what to do if you are experiencing common stress problems before a major test. It also gives you multiple things that you can do that will help you cope with stress before a major test.

HumanoAndriodoAutobotomaticatrons

April 21, 2010

I think that these robots will help us out a lot in the future. In 20 or 30 years they could be helping us do almost everything. Ranging from cleaning the house to discovering and exploring planets and moons. I also think that the humanoid can be a good and a bad thing. It can be a good thing because it will help us accomplish many tasks, weather they are extreme or every day things. This could be a bad thing because, depending on what the humanoid is set to do, this could make us humans lazy. We could end up like the people in the movie “Wallie”, everyone was fat and attached to their couches and chairs because they had the robots doing everything. But I mostly think that the humanoids will help humans do things that have never been done before.

Catching up in english

April 14, 2010

Out of the three places that you can go to I think that Bookrags is the best. Bookrags seems to have more information than sparknotes and enotes. Sparknotes also has a lot of information but it doesn’t have the details such as themes and other stuff like that. Also enotes doesn’t seem to have very much information besides a short summary.

Google Services

April 12, 2010

1.) Aardvark

Aardvark is a place where you can ask a question and it will find someone to answer the question. So instead of going on yahoo answers or something like that, and waiting a while for the answer, you get the answer right then and there.

2.) Google Goggles for Android

This is a lab where you can take a picture of something and google will find the origin or find stuff about the picture. This lab also gives you sites that you can go to to find the information about the picture.

Carbon Footprint

1.) For the first one it was 4.29 metric tons per year (probably not right), and for the second one it was 58 tons (which was also probably wrong).

2.) I think they are different because i didn’t really know what I was doing and I probably did both of them wrong.

3.) I concluded that I need to reduce my climate impact.
