Compassionate Science

To be a compassionate scientist, you must have some sort of training in a technological course to be able to make the world a better place. Most of all, you need some sort of motivation to push you to make a change, such as Mike Ebeling. He knew something about the technology behind 3D printing, but he also had a motivation; the arm-less children in Africa. He used his knowledge to teach the Africans how to make prosthetic arms for them. Without compassionate scientists such as Ebeling, the world would not be the way it is now. Without them, some technological advancements that have been made throughout the years might have not happened. Many of the advancements that we see today might not have been possible without having compassionate scientists. The idea to help others without wanting something in return doesn't cross everyone's mind. Many scientists around the world just do their job, and that's it. They don't take it up upon themselves to come up with ideas to help make the world a better place.

The Future

In the future, about 100 years or so, I believe the technology will increase immensely. I expect there to be hover-boards such as the ones in Back to the Future. I imagine a desk able to create 3d holograms. Not only do I see technological advancements but also in medicine. In the future I imagine there to be a cure for any type of illness. In the future, I can imagine some sort of pill that will allow a person to use a greater percentage of their brain at a time. Schools will no longer need books, almost everything will be digital. Students would be using tablets/laptops for most of their assignments. Delivery systems will be enhanced by the use of flying "drones" that transport items. Robots that clean the house for you when you aren't home. There are a lot of more inventions/advancements that will be made in the future that are unknown to humans at the moment. But so far, that is how I see the future.

The time I laughed really hard.

A couple of years ago, a couple of friends and I decided to go to a friends house after school on a friday. When friday came we decided to rent a jumper to just mess around and have fun. We got on top of my friend's garage and decided to do a leap of faith into the jumper. We all jumped in one at a time, except for my last friend named Freddy. He decided to put on a cape and do a flip in midair when he decided to jump. When he finally jumped into the jumper he hit the bottom of it so hard the jumper popped and it began to collapse on Freddy. We were all laughing at his failed attempt at a flip and how he popped the jumper. It was an unforgettable day.

Modern Times Review

I personally like the film Modern Times and how it was made. The film was created in 1936, that means that Charlie Chaplin had the technology to make a movie with sound but he didn't. I like this about about the film because it has a greater impact. For instance in the factory, the boss ("Big Brother") is the only one that speaks, making it seem as if he is above all of the workers. I also liked the fact that it was a silent film because it was a "tradition" with Chaplin's character The Little Tramp. Charlie believed if he made the movie with sound then it would be the same as any other film made at the time, he wanted it to be original. Modern Times was also interesting because of the ideas Chaplin introduced, he predicted the future. He thought that everyone would be unhappy and working in a factory being watched ever so closely by the boss. This film is now one of my favorite movies because it shows the struggle of the factory living that lifestyle.
