Zero Fatalities
I used to think that it would be okay to text a little bit as long as you looked up every little while. After I watching this video I am completely against texting while drivin, or even using your phone. In this video it shows how by taking your eyes off the road for a split second you can cause the death of two people. If I would ever be the one to cause the death of two people, I would never be able to live with myself and never be able to forgive myself. I believe that you should not text, or use your phone, and drive. It not only causes harm to you, but to others as well.

Wireless Electricity
Today we watched a video in class. It was about wireless electricity and how it works. WiTricity was invented by MIT Physicists. They wanted to invent this because they didn't want to have to use batteries or constantly plug things in. They wanted to be able to charge things wirelessly.
How Witricity works is you have part of a coil and you plug it in anywhere, then you have the other half on something else and when it gets close enough it will charge it or turn it on. When you have on of these coils plugged in it can be used to charge more than one thing. It can turn a TV on and charge a cellphone at the same time. If you owned an electric car then you would be able to drive into your garage and onto a mat and it would charge, without you having to deal with plugging it in. The coils use a non-radioactive power transfer. They pass through magnetic fields, so it is completely safe for animals and people. WiTricity is made possible because of Resonance. Resonance is the efficient energy exchange between tuned resonant objects. Resonance has very little energy transferred extraneous or of resonant objects.
Many people will buy this product once it is sold. It is a good investment because you will never have to worry about charging anything. Once you walk into your house your cellphone will charge and you wont have to plug it in. In the future i predict that you will be able to find WiTricity in households all over the world.

"Nearly any topic that might be of interest to us can be learned, after a trip to our favorite search engines. We could even go further and enroll at a major university online.We can now take classes and get a degree at our favorite university or college, even if we live one thousand miles away from the school." (Braxton Heitz) By being able to look up research on a certain topic it can save you time. You can find information on a certain topic you are researching instead of having to look spend numerous amounts of time looking through a book trying to find the information you need. You can now enroll for a university online. By doing this you can take classes from the comfort of your own home.
"These days, we can go online to learn all about any single product or service we might be interested in purchasing. Even better, we can look at a cross-section of products under the same classification and make an intelligent decision based on factual research." (Braxton Heitz)
Shopping online can make life easier for you. You can now go online and buy a product. While you are shopping online you can also easily find out which is the better deal for a product, and which product is better.
The Internet has changed the world. More people go online because there is more you can do online now. With the Internet we can now do more from our own home.

The way people advertise has changed. Advertising in newspapers, television, radio and magazines is dropping, and advertising in cellphones and computersis going up. The computer has changed as well. It is now a million times cheaper, thousand times faster and and a hundered thousand times smaller then it used to be. a computer used to be as big as a building and now it can fit in your pocket. This video predicted that in 25 years it will be able to fitin a blood cell. The video gave lots more facts about the world today that were very interesting that i didn't know. That is why i suggest you view the link below.

Siftables
Siftables are invented by David Merrill and Jeevan Kalanithi. Siftables are an advance in technology that are small squares, basically tiny computers. They are able to interact with each other, can sense eachother and you can change what they do by tilting them or touching them together. There are ones that can make music with where you line them up with eachother, ones that can calcutate math on, and ones that basically you play scarbble. These small squares are actually quite amazing with what they are able to do and i know that .
Sixth Sense
Sixth sense is also another great advance in technology. Sixth Sense was invented in the MIT Media Lab. The sixth sense is a pocket projector with a mirror and camera. You can use your fingers to take pictures, surf the internet, and do many other amazing things. It will make our lives easier. Once they make the size smaller and improve on their invention it will become a worldwide seller.
