Have you seen the movie Ready Player One? If you have you will probably remember the headsets they wore to go into the “Oasis,”. Well those headsets are real and are buyable today (below). If you’ve ever wanted to feel like your someplace your not try virtual reality. Ever wanted to do first person in one of your favorite games? You can do that! Have you ever wanted to fly and have superpowers? You can also do that. There are endless possibilities. You might say that you can do all of this on a console or a computer. Yes, but this is different, this is first person. When you put on the headset you see through your avatar’s eyes not the computer’s. Virtual Reality or VR is a glimpse into what the future might me. In a few years Virtual Reality or VR will be used for all electronic needs.

Jetpacks

Did you know that there are real jetpacks? There are many all over the world including this one (below). It is truly amazing that this once crazy fictional creation is now real. The real jetpacks are not as cool as the ones in the movies, they are much slower and can’t go as high. Although they aren’t as cool they are in the movies they still look amazing and must be very cool to see in person.

Solder Person

In Technology we made people out of wire and solder. We had to twist the wires to make a body and legs and the extra wire we had would be the arms. When we have done that we go to the solder which is a hot knife like tool. We use the solder to glue the person together with a special metal. After we have to let it dry but then the person is complete.  People have made their people many things some are playing sports and some are even Dabbing! I put mine into a position where I don’t even know has he’s doing. In all this has been a fun experience making solder people.

Flying cars

For many years Flying Cars have been a myth and a seemliness impossible feat to pull off, but now many companies are trying to figure out how to make one work. Many years ago people dreamed about creating self driving cars which seemed impossible, although now they are a reality. Now the same might come true  for flying cars. Many companies have made prototypes of them (Picture Below) and have had successful test runs. Now that self driving cars are on the market flying cars may become a reality.

I-Pads

In the beginning of the school year our school gave us I-pads. These I-pads have replaced the chromebooks that my grade have been using since 4th grade. They have been very useful, we can do more things on the I-pads, they have more apps that are used to make many things easier. My grade is the first to use the I-pads throughout each house. I-pads are now used excessively and almost everything we do are on the I-pads. Giving my grade I-pads is a big step forward to making school more easy for everyone.

Breakout EDU II

Yesterday in Technology we did a breakout EDU. The room was split up in two and there were two boxes that each team had to unlock. One box had a key that unlocked the cabinet that had safety goggles in them. I had a good time with my team trying to work together to open the box. Sadly my team didn’t open our box first, but we had they key, and both teams finished before the timer ran out. Breakout EDU is a fun experience that teaches teamwork, my team tried to work together the best we could even if we didn’t always get along  we worked together and succeeded in the end.
