Culture and Technology

There are advancements made in technology everyday. One advancement in the Indian culture that has impacted the society is the computer. Due to this advancement, it has become much easier for some people to get information. This also includes internet access. Overtime, people have made improvements on the computer and made it easier to use for the generations to come. Also, instead of having to wait until you meet someone to tell them your thought, you can simply e-mail them. Not only that, but now people can learn about other cultures as well. All you have to do is research on the computer. Due to this, the computer has made a big impact on society.

Hyperlink for How and Why the Earth Will End

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,332429,00.html?sPage=fnc/scitech/space

How and When the World Will End

Scientists have predicted how and when the world will end. The sun will slowly turn into a red giant and push the Earth farther out into space. The Earth will be snagged by the sun's outer atmosphere and plunged into the fiery stellar furnace. Put in other words, the Earth will fall into the sun. "The drag of this low-density gas will is enough to cause the Earth to drift inwards, and finally to be captured and vaporized by the sun,"explains astronomer Robert Smith. However, the good news is that the world won't come to an end for another 7.6 billion years. The bad news is that life on Earth will end way before then. Astronomer Robert Smith explains that there is a way future descendants can save themselves. He explains that a recent study cities that taming an asteroid to swing by Earth every few thousand years, can nudge the Earth into a higher solar orbit. Being in a higher solar orbit will be enough to outstep the sun's own outward growth. I believe that if future descendants can cause an asteroid to nudge Earth into a higher orbit, the Earth won't come to an end for a longer amount of time.

Hey!!!

Hi guys this is bluesoccer18. I've posted some great class responses and I hope you like reading them.

Matter (blog 2)

What is matter? Well, matter is what the whole universe is made of. Matter is anything that has a mass and a volume. For example, some types of matter are wood, water, plants, animals, and pieces of the moon. Others, that we don't usually see could be oxygen, carbon dioxide, and ammonia. In order to know whether different types of matter are similar in some ways, you also have to know the properties, also known as the characteristics, of matter. Those properties are color, odor, size, shape, texture, and hardness. Equally important, all matter has the general properties of mass, weight, volume, and density. Well, now you know what matter is. It's everything you touch and see everyday. It is what you are made of and what the whole world is made of. While learning about matter in science class, I found it very fascinating that we touch matter every day. Matter has been a very interesting topic to learn about.

The Earthworm(blog 1)

You might think that all worms are the same but, they're not. The three types of worms are flatworms, roundworms, and segmented worms. Each one of these worms are different from one another and one difference is where they live. The flatworms live in ponds and the roundworms live in water or on land. Also, the segmented worms live in fresh water, salty oceans or in soil. Not only living in these habitats makes the worms different, but, each one also belongs to its own Phylum. Due to their unalike body appearance, the flatworms belong to the phylum Platyhelmenthes, the roundworms belong to the phylum Nematoda, and the segmented worm belongs to the phylum Annelida. While learning about the worm anatomy, I found it pretty amusing that there are more than just one type of worm and that worms don't only live in the soil in our backyards.
