Tech article 12/13

Pros and Cons of a 3-D printer.

When many people hear about a 3-D printer, the first thing that comes in their mind is how it can be used to make weapons. Even though that's mainly what's talked about, there is also a good side to 3-D printers.

You can make things like acoustic guitars, camera lenses, flutes, kaleidoscopes, plastic mugs, and even fabric! 3-D printers work by layering melted plastic to make a 3-D form.  3D-Printed Fabrics3D Printed Acoustic Guitar

How can Twitter be used in the classroom?

It can be used in multiple different ways to help educate and teach people different skills. It could be used to inform people of homework and put up notes or lesson. It can also help suggest different educational websites or articles. I don't see too many problems that could happen with twitter.You can also learn about cats. =

Do Now 11/18

Seeing something like this

makes me want to make up for these kind of people in the world.
To be truthful I don't have any life goals, my main goal in life is to be the most interesting person i could possibly be. I'm not sure if I'm able to contribute to society with that. =(

Tech article

The Tedi bear.

This special device is not just a toy for you're child, but it is also a monitor for those overprotective parents. This bear has a microphone, a thermometer, and sensors for the child's pulse and to keep track of their growing strength. It is able to be recorded on a near iOS or android device. There is also a microphone in case you want to talk to your baby. It is currently $99 to pre-order it. I believe it is a really cool devise, but not as cool as a baby vacuum.
