The microchip

The microchip revolution is based on size and cost. Microchips give us cheap computing power in a tiny space. As the cost of microchips continues to fall, it becomes economically worthwhile to use them in more and more ways. We have to accept the microchip, or face the alternative of opting out of the free world market. Accepting the microchip brings benefits and problems. The benefits include greater efficiency in finding and using information, greater control over pollution and the use of the natural resource, help for the sick and the disable and a whole range of “smart” machines to inform, entertain and serve us.

We can guard against some of the problems. We can, for example, be alive to the danger of the misuse of information held on computer files.

There is the problem of alienation: people who cannot find a place in the technological world of the future. To guard against this problem, we need education and training schemes, and machines which are easy to use.

Finally, skills are made redundant by machines. Again, there’s a need for education and retraining. The wealth needed to pay for schemes like these is more likely to appear if we use the microchip. 

   

Description of a person

Jeremias has been my close friend since 9 years. I first met him on a school, when we were 8. I asked him if I could play with him and we started talking. We've been friends ever since.

Jeremias is quite good-looking. He's tall and slim, with brown skin and straight dark hair and he has brown eyes. Like many South American people, he has a great sense of style, so he always looks well-dressed even in casual clothes. He wears usually jeans and T-shirts and suites that are pretty cool.

Jeremias is very outgoing. He is always friendly and loves to have fun. He's got a fantastic sense of humor and he always makes me laugh. However, he can be a bit stressful at times. For example, when he doesn't get what he wants, he is thinking hours and hours and it is so annoying.

Jeremias is very keen on athletic sports. He likes running and he spends a lot of time going out and running until he’s tired. He likes basketball too.

All in all, I'm glad to have Jeremias as my friend. It's a pleasure to be with him and I really enjoy his company. I'm sure we'll always be close friends.

Review: Frankenstain

This story was written by Merry Shellie.

This is a horror novel that make you stay in constant tension. It’s a book where appears aspects very usual in our society: the prejudice and the revenge for example.

It begins when a sailor found in a North Pol a doctor called Victor Frankenstein. After that, Frankenstein starts to explain his story and why he was there. All started when Frankenstein wanted to turn death to life. He created a monster whit pieces of died bodies. With a lightening the monster became alive.

When the monster was seen for the people, they ran away escaping of him. Because he was so ugly and huge. And during the story the monster of Frankenstein explain us how he was living and the things he did for revenge. Because nobody love him and he was alone. When the monster and the doctor made a deal something went wrong and all their life will change forever. 

                

Discussion on science limits

I think the scientific experiments and tests that have been done throughout history have served to evolve human society. With these we have created new vaccines against diseases that once were fatal. Yes, it’s true that some very greedy human minds want to go far, such as creating eternal youth or the capacity of being able to regenerate arms and legs. But if all this stuff is done under the security protocols and thoroughly studied could get some real no so far.

There are risks that maybe we could not control and we could wipe out the human race. But I'm optimistic and I think that the best way is go on to research, and the limits of science are tied to human possibilities and if our knowledge can’t go over these, there will be the limit. 

                             

Rite of Passage: Bullet Ant

In my opinion I think that the presentation it’s good, because the rite of passage chosen is so amazing and interesting. I think it interested to everybody. The structure of the presentation was good too. The different parts that it’s divided I think they are very good achieves.

For me my oral presentation was no good. Because I was so nervous and I feel fear I don’t know why, but I couldn’t do the presentation well for it. I read the paper sometimes and my voice wasn’t flowed.  One or two parts I didn’t say because I forgot. But I could do it better and in the next oral presentation I will study my text better and it will be a very good presentation.

Be a teenager

Being a teenager isn’t easy. There are a lot of emotional and physical changes that are all a natural part of growing up, but they can make life difficult.

Often teachers and parents don’t understand teenagers, especially their problems or their changes in mood. It’s difficult for teenagers to talk about their feelings. They often think that they’re the only person who feels the way they do. It helps to know that all teenagers have similar problems.

Teenagers find that at the same time as they are changing emotionally, their bodies are growing and changing. Some teenagers are as tall as or taller than adults, but they can often still feel like children. They worry about their physical appearance and what their friends think about them and they don’t always know what to do or say.
