Our technology has advanced a lot in the last couple of years and I am sure that it will keep getting better. We have gone from cars to computers to many other inventions that help us on out daily lives. Internet is something used daily by many people and it is still being improved.
Trough out the years we went from internet that could only be used by plugging your computer into the signal with a cable, to wireless and now it is portable around the world. It’s amazing how out technology and our world are evolving so rapidly. I can honestly say that I use internet a lot, therefore being able to take it with me is a privilege. Whether I use internet for homework, personal email or myspace, it’s exiting to know I can take it with me. I would really like to try that. In the article, the guy tells us that he had a hard time typing with the car moving so much and other flaws that his friends say in it. However, to me it wouldn’t matter if the ride on a car is bumpy, I believe we will all get use to it.
Soon enough typing in a bumpy car will become as easy as sending as reading in a car. I believe all the flaws like signal and things like that will all be fixed and I am exited to see how far out technology will evolve.

High Gas Prices Over Power Our Lives (HW 19- Business)
Usually gas prices go down in fall; however, this year they have not gone down. Gas is an essential to everyday life. Gas prices have also cause oil prices to go up, making it more expensive for people to get from place to place. This makes transportation harder for everyone. Oil and gas is important because we use it to transport ourselves from one place to another. For students that need to get from one place to another, it’s hard to get transportation with gas prices so high. I don't have a car yet, but i know that when I do get a car i will not like gas or oil prices so high. As students we need something affordable to move around. Everyone has things to do and we are all forced to get in a car and drive somewhere, yet with gas prices so high it's not easy to do so without money. When you think about it if you have a job and you are paying more for gas you are really getting paid less. Cars require gas and in order to get the gas you need money, and how else would we get it if not by working. I believe we need to find a solution for gas prices going so high. Also, with Christmas season around the corner we need to start saving money as well. Buying presents for the whole family this year will be harder than the previous ones. Children this year will be very disappointed seeing that Santa Clause didn't bring as many presents this year as he had the last. I guess we will all just have to cope to all the new changes that will be cause by the high prices of gas and oil.

Dangerouse Drug For Heart Surgery (HW 18 - Health)
How much research is needed to prove that a drug is bad? The Food and Drug Administration, also known as F.D.A, had a long debate on whether they should band the sells of Trasylol, a drug given to patients with heart surgery to decrease the bleeding. After a lot of research the F.D.A still didn’t want to stop the sells of Trasylol, although they knew the danger.
Trasylol is said to work better for heart surgery since it is more efficient to reducing excessive bleeding. There are two other drugs used and they also work, yet not as well as Trasylol. Aside from the reducing excessive bleeding Trasylol also increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure. Trasylol should be banded. They have made research that says that people that had heart surgery and were given the drug later had health problems; however, they used the excuse that maybe patients given the drug were sicker than those given the other two drugs. How ignorant can people be, as doctors they shouldn’t only care what works well for doctors but also for future heath conditions of patients. The F.D.A is just being careless for not thinking of the wealth of the patient. Trasylol is one of the used a lot in the United States. Out of 200,000 patients that were treated with the drug world wide, about 110,000 were from the United States.
Although the F.D.A stopped the sells of the Trasylol and they say they did the decision them selves aside from the research that Germany had made, I believe we have a lot to thank to Germany for the decision the F.D.A made. I believe it was a good choice. I only wish that those people that were already treated with it wont will be ok.
