What is technology?
The good ol' dictionary.com defenition for technology is: "the branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means and their interrelation with life, society, and the environment, drawing upon such subjects as industrial arts, engineering, applied science, and pure science."-In more simpler user friendly terms, technology is the...

What are the 5 most and 5 least important technologies used today?
The most important would probably be most of the transportation technologies we have today, like planes, cars, boats etc. Some others would be communications, like mobile phones, email - even computers themselves are a very important technology. Others include other computer related objects like ipods and USB drives. What is some un-useful technology out there? Well, I cant answer this, but there is something to consider. Technology, more specifically NEW technology, is made to be beneficial for us and make our lives easier.

How do you feel about the amount of and use of technology at AES?
I feel that technology is used well in AES. In this advanced technological age, it is important that me learn as much as we can about technology. It is slowly starting to be part of our everyday lives more and more. One thing that i feel should be done would be providing more mandatory technology related courses for students. Throughout high school and middle school, we have the choice of choosing computer studies/ video production, and other classes. A large amount of people dont choose these classes. I think we should make there at least ONE mandatory computer related class for students at AES.

Vonnegut and Technology

“Do you know what a Luddite is? That’s a person who doesn’t like newfangled contraptions. Contraptions like nuclear submarines armed with Poseidon missiles that have H-bombs in their warheads, and like computers that cheat you out of becoming. Bill Gates says, “Wait till you can see what your computer can become.” But it’s you who should be doing the becoming. What you can become is the miracle you were born to work—not the damn fool computer.”

Do I agree with this quote? Or do I disagree?
Well, in a way, I agree, and then again I don't. I believe that technology is very important. Its a new age that we are in, and pretty much everything we do has to do with technology. Advertising, School, Banking, Economy, Music, Sports, etc. If we decide to completely eradicate technology...well...Life itself wouldnt be possible. We rely so much on computers these days. But, I also think that what Kurt Vonnegut says is true! The human race cannot allow itself to get to the point that computers will take over our lives completely. The extremes depicted in Harrison Bergeron are very unpleasant to me, and I hate for society to turn up that way. Also, the Euphio Question depicts a sound, becoming a sort of addictive drug. Even if we found something like that, releasing it into the public is deadly.
To summarize this post, I believe that the human race can't go overboard with technology and let it rule us. We must rule it. But, not all technology right now is necessarily bad, and I think its a must for humans to have it.

The Massacre

The Peaceful Plate of Spaghetti
Steaming with goodness
Meatballs fortify their positions
Patrol the surrounding perimeter

The meatball elite guards
Patriotic fighters
Armed with Tactical Assault Scope rifles
Were forces to be reckoned with

The allied forces of Petrness
Valiant, and determined
Ambushed the plate
Maiming all in their path

Commanders Knife and Fork
The tyrants of revolution
Were merciless
Pillaging homes, besieging forts

Plate: Liberated

Quarter 3 reflection

This quarter went by so quickly! I dont even realize that we only have a few more months of school before were finally HIGHSCHOOLERS!
I feel that I did quite a good job in accomplishing my goals f0r 2nd quarter. I studied for quizzes, which clearly showed on my quiz grades this quarter. I managed to get maximun points for AR aswell, which obvoisly helped me with my grade. Sadly, I was in ISTA when we did our socratic seminar, so I wasn't able to accomplish my goal in anyway. I managed to work hard an my assignments too. On the Cold War Digital story, I fell behind quite far, but i managed to work hard on the project and got a 96%!!!

My new goals for Quarter 4 are:
1.
