Then we get a 30 min lunch break just to walk back to out little jail cells and get lectured some more. God forbid we leave the place or they will suspend you or expel you. If you miss a certain amount of school then they take your DRIVERS LICENSE AWAY FROM YOU....

I believe friendships can be a source of energy because when I am with my best friends they never fail to make me laugh, and have fun no matter where we are.

If the use of robots becomes a workable reality then that would be pretty cool. Robots are a coo asset if they work properly and they can do their job well. If robots start working in schools I will be very surprised. I think they would use robots to get kids to stop cheating on their homework.

Write about a day spent in another country. Think about the technology, how do you think it would be different than here in the United States?

If I spent a day in another country I probably would not be using technology all that much, I would spend more time exploring the countries, and going on adventures. I would finish off my day with some dinner and I would go to my hotel and sleep.

Finish this thought: if I could change one thing about myself (if you can't think of anything, you might want to consider telling how you got to be perfect!) :)

If I could change one thing about myself I would most likely change my hair. I do not like that my hair is wavy and not straight. I would prefer if my hair were straight this way I can do the hairstyle that I want to do and not worry about hairs sticking up, and hairs being uneven all of the time.

An old piece of technology that I wish was still around would have to be Ipods. Ipods have kind of died out ever since Iphones came out. I'm talking about the original Ipod that was white and silver on the back. They were very cool and they definitely kicked off the beginning of new technology for us.

Programmers sometimes have robots! If you had a robot, think of three chores or projects you and your robot could team up on. Describe how you will work together and what each of you will do to accomplish those three tasks.

If I had a robot I would first team up with him to have him help me to my laundry, because I hate doing laundry. I would load the clothes into the washer and dryer and his job would be to put the clothes away. Another thing I would do with my robot would to help me make my bed. If he were on the other side it would be so much easier.

My use of my computer and my cellphone is about the same,but when I am home I use my computer more because I can do more on my computer, and I can play games. I also like to watch movies, listen to music, and watch youtube.

What do you think would happen if a community lost technology for an entire month?

If the community lost technology for a month I honestly think the state would turn into chaos. Everyone would start robbing stores and stealing from people because there is no technology. Another thing is people would go crazy. They would have no way to communicate unless they were face to face, or sending letters to each other.

As technology changes, how do you think the high school experience will transform in the next 10 years? 30 years? 100 years?

In 100 years I think there will no longer be desks. Everything will be much easier in school systems.

What do you think would be a good program (app) for Valentine's Day?

A good app would be an app that brings people together who do not have a valentine. You guys meet up only on valentines day and you guys hangout ;)

What makes technology addictive?

The thing that makes technology addictive in my opinion is that you can do so much on computers. There is just so much that you can do. You can play games, research, be productive, and even watch movies.

Imagine the scenario: an alien species sends a team of spies to Earth to research our species. Being unfamiliar with how things work on our planet, they don't realize that movies are fake. They believe all our movies are real. Under this misguided notion, who do the aliens judge to be the most accomplished human being on the planet (a person who they will then capture and take with them for further study)? Why do you think it would be this person?

If aliens came and they believed every thing was real I was real. I would have to say the most powerful person in the world would be SuperMan

Have you ever thought about creating your own app? What idea do you have that may make a great app?

I have not thought about creating my own app, but if I were to make my own app I would make an app for the game csgo. This app would help you keep track of your favorite team and the latest news on that team.

Imagine that you have invented an exciting new item of wearable technology. In your blog describe this item, explain what it does, and convince readers to buy it.

Computers today are not increasing stress in the U.S. If anything computers are lowering the levels of stress in the United States of America.
