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.

Hero project reflection

I think a hero becomes a hero when they do something positive in your eyes. In this project we had to choose some one that we thought was heroic, interview, and then write a story of why they were heroic using the information from the interview. We had to do three or more drafts; this was hard for me because on one draft I didn’t write two pages so I had to do another one. In this project I learned a lot about perspective like how someone sees something could be totally different in some one else’s eyes. A challenge I encountered was that I didn’t get a lot of information from my interview so it was harder to write a two-page paper. If I did this project again I would probable try to be more prepared for the interview and remember how long the paper was supposed to be. A habit of mind I used in this project was evidence because we had to show why the person we chose was a hero using sensory detail.

origin of zero

What strikes me about this article is that there was so much trouble in making a number that means nothing, and makes me wonder what the process was when they came up with all the numbers. We decide who discovers what when it’s the first one who recorded proof of them discovering it. Mesopotamians discovered zero because they were the first to create and record them discovering it. I don’t think that the person who came up with the idea of zero was the same person discovered it because it could have been thought up a while ago but some one wrote it down and put it to use. I think map makers and sailors probable spread word of zero by traveling to so many places.

character sketch

Code Blue
His eyelids snapped open he looked around the small dark room where he and the other interns stay. He hears the sharp sound of and alarm saying code blue, which in medical terms meant a life or death situation. He rushes down to the main room as fast as an African swallow, and sees some of his colleagues. “I heard there was a code blue,” he said out of breath.
“Oh I’m sorry there’s no code blue,” said one of the doctors.
“Are you sure, maybe we should check on some of the important patients just in case?”
“Ok, we might as well since we’re up”
They walked down the long hall their steps echoing every time they took a step. They checked most of the rooms then came to a room of a 3-week-old infant that was sick. They quietly walked into the room and the mood intensified as they realized that the infant wasn’t breathing. They had to act fast. Heart racing he rushed to the side of the infant’s bed and tried to resuscitate it. Eventually he resuscitated the baby and the baby woke up again. This was one moment, which helped him to decide to be a pediatrician.
He was just an intern and he saved an infants life. He went to medical school at the University of Arizona and out of 1000 applicants he was one of the 32 to get in, and is currently a doctor. He says his reason for helping people is that “Everybody’s here only a certain length of time on this earth, usually less than 100 years, and you should do something that helps other people in your time” He likes to get to know his patients both professionally and socially, and enjoys working with kids more than working with adults.
If you ask him if he thinks he is a hero he will say no because he says he’s just doing his job his description of a hero is an old black woman with 6 kids who works 3 jobs just to make sure her kids are happy. His personal here is Pat Tillman who was a football who could have been one of the best, but after 9/11 he gave up his big paying job and his fame and joined the military to fight for his country. But I think Dr. George Darwin is a hero to me and to all the lives he’s saved and people he’s helped.
