New breaking technology was introduced to the world on January 27th, 2010.

The 9.7 inch I-pad is a touch screen that you can use for your apps, books, e-mail and surfing the web. It is said to be “the most advanced technology in a magical revolutionary device at an unbelievable price” according to the Apple Company.

To me the I-pad is not that much different from the I-phone or the I-pod touch. It does all of the same things as the I-phone or I-pod touch except for the I-books and DVD. Apple is saying how cheap it is but the I-pod touch is only around 200$ and the I-pad is around $500 so why is it said to be the most advanced technology. Sure the I-pad has a larger screen and a DVD player but with $500 I’m sure you could just watch the movies from
I-tunes or your I-pods.

Overall, I do not understand why the I-pad is so big and I think it is better for people just to buy the I-phone instead because it has more to offer.

super powers blog

Blog about Super Powers,

You know how super heroes like Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman always have something go wrong when their trying to save the world? Whether it be the villain trying to through something to stop them, or them getting hurt and almost not defeating the problem. There is always something that happens to either slow them down or hurt them. If only, they had the power of going back in time.

Going back in time would be the best power in my opinion because you would always make the right decision. This power would come in really handy on doing tests at school because get the you test back and the mar really sucks, then you could just go back in time and write down the correct answer. Or, if you get into trouble you could just go back in time and not do whatever you did wrong. It would be perfect!

I wouldn’t pick a silly power like super-strength or flying because to be able to go back in time could help so much more. For instance, the earthquake in Haiti right now, if I had the power to go back in time I could’ve gone back and warned the people about what was going to happen and already have life supplies ready. In my opinion this could be one of the most useful powers there is. That’s why if I could pick any power in the world, going back in time would definitely be one of my first picks.

books VS movies

Twightlight, Narnia, Boy in the Striped Pajama's, Harry, Potter, My Sister's Keeper. There are so many book that were made into movies that there are to many to count. All of these books were amazing, but the movies were defianatley not as exciting, detailed the exactley the same.

For example, in the book My Sister's Keeper, the ending is the exact opposite. Or in the Harry Potter Series, before I watched the movie I thought that Harry was this drop dead gorgeous guy who saves Hogwarts year after year. Then, when I watched the movies I was extremely disapointed because Harry was neither attractive or cool. All of these are examples how most of the time books are better than the movies.

Overall in my opinion the books are better because they are more descriptive and detailed. Even though movies are really fun and faster to watch than read a book.

THE END

did you know

In 2013 a computer will be built that exceeds the capabilities of a human brain. It only took 3 years for facebook to reach an audience of 50 million. These are cool facts but what do they mean?

In the "did you know" video the facts were all incredibly scary but at the same time it means that we are advancing in technology and in other aspects which is good and bad at the same time. Bad because many bad things could happen with this new technology like it could create more pollution and make people lazier then they already are. Good because with all of the new things coming out, we can find a way to use these things to solve problems and make a world a better place. In the end, I was glad i got a chance to find out this information because now I know what to expect in the future and what is going on.

"All of the biggest technological inventions created by man- the air-plane, automobile, the computer- says little about his intelligence, but speaks volumes about his laziness."

Ellen Degeneres

Ellen DeGeneres.

Some people would argue that this particular woman is one of the funniest and most loved comedians of the century. Some people turned away from her when she announced in 1997 that she was gay and when she later became an icon for the gay community.

Born in January 1958 in Louisiana, Ellen DeGeneres was constantly around her brother who was always considered the “funny one” but little did they now what was to come. Ellen originally wanted to become a veterinarian but later decided that she was not “book smart” so she pursued the job as a waitress, sales person, painter and legal secretary. Then, when Ellen was 23 she started performing at a local coffee house and was later discovered and invited to the Tonight Show. They enjoyed her appearance so much that Ellen was then invited to all of the major talk shows like Oprah, Larry King Live and Good Morning America. Her career was skyrocketing and no one could stop her soon to be fame. For the next few years Ellen started to appear in movies, commercials and was beginning to start her own talk show in 2003.

When Ellen started her show she immediately started to speak out about her being gay and how it was wrong to abuse animals. She started to follow in Oprah’s shoes because she started to donate and help many people and at the same time she was being a great comedian. On her talk show, Ellen repeatedly has games for people in need like her “Dough-Vember” to help a luck family that needed help financially. She continues to help people and animals daily.

Ellen DeGeneres has also won many awards including 4 People's Choice Awards for Favorite Daytime Talk Show Host, Favorite Funny Female Star and was in Forbes top 5 Influential Woman. I hope Ellen continues her show for many more years to come because she just makes your day so much better As Ellen once said, “Sometimes you can't see yourself clearly until you see yourself through the eyes of others.”
