The Home of the Future
Although many of these items may seem very convenient as they reduce the amount of work needed to complete daily tasks I think it can also be counterproductive as it also reduces the extra physical work we do. I believe in order to have these items one must be very self discipline in order to use them to their potential as well as keeping ourselves productive.
The 25 Best Inventions of 2015
I really appreciate the idea of the Underground Park as it allows for the natural use of establishments already in place instead of building more establishments but maybe those places can be used in other ways that do not require as much energy or money to rebuild. Those places can be used as either storage or "junk yards" in ways that will be useful and not harmful to the environment hopefully and therefore be able to plant on the ground.
The Star Apartments are a great concept for those truly in need like those with substance usage problems and homeless veterans as well, and although a place of this sort can be very helpful it would also need to be highly regulated as only those who really need it can access it instead of those who may take only take advantage of it.

The Eagle 360! YES! A car with tires that move in every direction would be so helpful not only when attempting to parallel park but also when someone parks too close to your own vehicle and you can't move too much. This would also be allow for the entire usage of the material as the entire circumference of the tire would be put to use unlike the tires that we currently use.
It was about time that the Mattel Barbie Dolls came into the market. Not only little boys, but also boys should be able to recognize from an early age that everyone is different and that is mote than okay and not have it in their minds from an early age of how a female's body is to look. The definition of the "perfect" body should be defined in terms of being as healthy as one can be and not by the popularity of a doll that up to this date seems to have shown to promote unhealthy habits.
Miracle Maker
This is a fantastic invention as it provides for a larger number available of organs needed for those people who may currently be waiting for an organ replacement. Also, if this was to become more popular and easier to access later on it would also reduce the illegal organ trafficking on the black market that affects many people.
You have great opinions on all of the articles and I really like your blog theme as well. I enjoyed your points on the inventions of 2016 about the "perfect" body and you are right boys have been given the "ideal" body type as well. Many people need to understand that everyone is different and that is what makes you special not that you had to skip three meals that day to drop the weight you wanted.
ReplyDeleteI feel like you and I share a lot of the same views on things regarding your first article reflection! Technology should help us, not make us lazier overall. Your comments that you made regarding The Eagle 360 are great and valid points. I didn't even think of them! I believe that we are heading in the right direction with technology, for the most part anyways!
ReplyDeleteThe scenes from "WALL-E" pops out when I read the comfy chair article. Technology has a great impact on our life: it facilitates communication and learning at some degree; however, it also distances human interactions. How technology can be applied efficiently and properly in educational settings will be an angle that teachers need to take into account.
