Earth Problems - Pollution - 2 views

  • Every chemical we use, every substance we produce, in manufacturing, farming, energy use, or consumption, remains here on Earth. These poisons may seem to disappear—but they are only hidden.

      Yuck! Just imagine how much recycled poo there is in the environment! Where exactly does this poison and waste get hidden?

      This is the craziest! We are living in an environment full of our own poison! Land?Poisioned.Air?Poisoned.Water?Poisoned? Makes me wonder, what exactly around me is pure water or malaria free snacks, and what is polluted, disgusting, and unhealthy?!

  • With your pajamas snug, your feet clad in bunny slippers, and a tub of ice cream on the desk, your computer glows in front of you. The clock reads 2 a.m. In other words, time for class.

      Hah! Time For Class! This is inspiring people to be lazy to get what they want. Do think sitting around wearing women's bunny slippers at night is a good way to spend your class time? Online school seems to be inspiring kids to sit around getting fat and avoiding classmates all in the comfort of their own home!

  • I believe this is absurd! What is next? Virtual sex? I will not even attempt to illustrate that!

      Yuck! Sounds like technology really is trying to replace every aspect of life. That last bit about virtual sex sounds ridiculous but with the way technology advances, there might be an app for that soon!
  • Always value the potential of the human mind. Always cherish the human touch, voice and face. And never let a computer replace a friend or a lover.

      I Agree! The way computers dominate aspects of our lives is taking away from how it was back in the day, when you could leave your couch without a cell phone, computer, ipod, calculator, navigation system, remote control prius keys etc. This makes me wonder, does technology really make life easier? Or does it make it harder to live without thousands of dollars worth of equipment everyday?

  • This is a permanent radio-frequency identification (RFID) chip implanted under the dog's skin and read by a chip scanner or wand. Implantation is done with an injector that places the chip under the loose skin over the dog's shoulder.

      This makes me want to puke! It seems wrong to go ahead and change one's body to make it traceable by computers and pretty much take their freedom away. How can a person inject one of their inventions into another living thing without knowing whether or not they'd like a piece of technology entering their body?

    How cute is a puppy when it is a robot? This article talks about how dogs are now being tagged with pieces of technology called RFID's.

  • The iPod nano is getting smaller… and gaining a multitouch color display. The new iPod nano loses the signature clickwheel controller in favor of a multitouch display -- and gains a clik so its instantly wearable like the iPod nano. The new iPod nano is almost half the size and half the weight of its predecessor, and supports 29 languages along with offering 24-hour battery life.

      Yikes! This article is showing how advanced these ipods are getting while becoming smaller and smaller. This makes me wonder if this is the same way the feed started, before the way it was introduced to us in, "Feed", by M.T. Anderson. Perhaps it was as harmless looking as an ipod, and advancements like these made the feed smaller and smaller and more advanced, until it was able to do all these great features, while at the same time being so small that the best way to use them is to drill them into your head.

    Woah! Ipods just seem to be getting smaller and more advanced!

  • There are a lot of hybrid models on the market these days, and most automobile manufacturers have announced plans to manufacture their own versions.

      This is a very good point, because it seems the car manufacturers we have grown to love and trust seem to be changing before our eyes thanks to new discoveries in technology like the efficiency of a brand new hybrid car. This article makes me wonder; Are more of the companies in our lives like General Electric, Apple, Playmobile, Motorola, etc. are making great changes to their products today?

    Wow! Hybrid Cars are very relevant to our topic of discussion because they are a new invention that is becoming part of the world we live in.

  • Now you can walk around town with your cell phone tucked away in your pocket or briefcase and a tiny headset tucked into your ear.
    • Hank von GnarSlayer
      Hank von GnarSlayer on 09 Feb 11
       
      This is a scary thought because in order to use these headsets, people seem to be devoting more of their attention to technology they can hear in their ear, rather than using that ear of theirs for its original purpose- to hear people and nature around them! Do you think that it is safe to walk around with people asking questions or yelling in your ear while you go about your day in town? While you drive? While you use the furnace? While you use knives in the kitchen? When you're making fires?
