Technology

This article was about electric cars making a come back in 2010. General Motors is making one which will hopefully save there company, and a few other companies are trying their best to make a better electric car.

This topic is important because the cars are better for the Environment and probable save you a lot in gas money. Also these cars could lead to a cool new green way of transportation.

There are a lot of people wondering about if the companies will actually be able to make the cars but for all of the companies lots of people are already ready to buy them let's just hope they can follow through with their promises.

Some obstacles for the idea is that General Motors just recently survived a huge bank ruptcy so it might be hard for them to find money so they can produce the cars. Also they are depending a lot on this car to get them back on track.

Entertainment 2010

In 2010 T.V. will be even more unnecessarily complicated because they be able to watch T.V. on almost anything with a screen. You will be able to watch T.V. on net books cell phones and any other mobile device instead of just a big screen television.

It will be more efficient then unreliable 3G networking and will cost less too. After T.V. Analog was cut it freed up more broadcasting space.

In 2010 this idea will probable made a reality by the end of the year, and because of all the advancements in portable Internet it will probable be fairly easy to use.

I think some setbacks for this would probable being able to distribute it and also getting T.V. channels to agree to it. Also I would have to be expensive to update a lot of new portable devises.

Time Travelers Project Reflection

Project description
For this project we were given a civilization and had to study that civilization. We also choose either Government, Art and Architecture, science and Technology, or religion as a pillar. Then we had to choose an object to send back in time that would help the civilization survive. Then we would write a research paper on how our pillar effected our civilization.

Process
For the research paper we started out by just studying our civilization then with the first draft which was pretty much just a bunch of information then after a few drafts it began to have analysis and evidence of the information and became a stronger research paper.

Reflection
In this project I learned a lot about how civilizations work and how the government of the civilization affects how the civilization lives and if it survives. Some challenges I had were that I didn't have much information to research at first so that made my first draft a little bit harder to work with. If I did this project again I would try and find more information so my paper would have better evidence. I think this will help later on in life because in college and also further on in high school we'll have to write a lot of research paper and I would want them to be accurate.
