When looking back on this year, there are many things to remember including everything we learned in tech. We learned about plastics, metals and many other materials. It helped me expand my vocabulary in a war never seen before. I wish we could be at school so we could actually build something using the tools but besides that tech had helped me a lot. I’m gonna miss the class and I hope I can learn more about it in the future.
My thoughts on the current situation is mixed because we all care about the justice about George Floyd. On the other hand, people who don’t care about it are taking the protests in a way to spread terror and violence. I wish we could go back to the peaceful protest we once had besides the true violence that is happening in the current time. Other things like Trump’s tweets or guns are really making the situation worse. Lots of cities now including NY city now have curfews to try and prevent more violence. Some people don’t realize that these protest are ruining lots of businesses. People are now stealing very expensive items from stores like TVs and phones. The government had been warning the people about the violence but I fear that people wont listen and this will eventually lead to violence between the government and the innocent protesters. I hope this can die down.
If I realized that there was a place to recycle my plastic, I would always try to get there to the hardest extend. There might be a few times where it’s not possible to but it’s important to try and recycle as often as possible. It would require more patience and if you see a true importance in nature. Plastic is very harmful and if there something to slow the harmfulness down, we should all do it no matter what were doing.
I’m am going to talk about the modern technology known as AirPods, AirPods amaze me because of many reasons. I don’t understand how you can hear something form a different device without being connected, it doesn’t make sense to me. I wonder how they can also put a little mic in the device also, and it isn’t even that crazy of a price to many people. It acts like a very good source of confidence because of how it looks on people and they feel more connected when wearing AirPods. I also like how other companies are taking the time to recreate and improve a wireless earphone for more causes. Many wireless EarPods have crazy features like clicking the AirPod and the song pauses or holding it down and skipping the song. All of these features make the AirPods truly a important and crazy invention.
The quote I’ve chosen to write about is “Oregon Forest Law requires us to replant the site within two years and it needs to meet “green-up” standards by six [years]. By state law we are required to leave two live trees standing and two downed trees per acre of clearcut harvest. We are also required to protect small medium and large fish streams.”
I believe that when harvesting or cutting down essential parts of a life like a tree. The requirements should be to replant every single tree that was cut down. People risk many animals including humans when cutting down trees, they should be held accountable for their actions and need to re-plant every tree they cut down. For a person to cut down trees for their benefit means they have to re-pay nature and the rest of the world for what they did. We need to save the trees and connect as a union to save more trees and keep our earth healthy.
I believe that there are more boys than girls who speak up or un-mute themselves during zoom questions because they are less shy and more inpatient. They want to know immediately without trying to problem solve on their own. On the contrast, girls might be more patient and wait to figure out if it is really a certain problem that need questioning. The girls email more because they wait till after the zoom to try and problem-solve. I think boys are just more commonly out there as girls might be more shy or patient. This is only sometimes and there are many different scenarios where its the opposite. There should not be stereotypes for what gender does what but there is a certain way of figuring the general trend of things.
Technology is usually viewed as a digital aspect of life, but If you think more about it. You can sometimes realize that there more to the category Technology than you think. I was introduced to Technology in 6th grade. I was asked to plan, use and make a functional flashlight. I used soldering machines, saws and pipes to create the structure for the flashlight. I also had to use many different wires to get the light actually working. It was hard but fun and after the entire project, I felt very accomplished and more outgoing in life as a human. There is much more to Technology than we think. I felt more independent and I am very exited to learn and build more this year.
