During the first two weeks of my observation at Highland High School, my partner, Alex, and I noticed how students had their phones out during a majority of the class periods. The teachers did not really address the problem during class. When we met up with our peers and asked them about cell phones in the classroom, they said they observed the same problem as we did in their cooperating teacher’s classrooms. At first, my inquiry question was what happens when my cooperating teachers allow their…
Parents, Drivers, Texters… Everyone is warned about texting while driving. Cell phones help people stay in close contact with loved ones, but cell phones can be disastrous. Yet there are still thousands of deaths caused by texting while driving every year. Although people see the destruction that texting while driving can cause, they continue to do it. Several studies show that texting while driving is worse than being legally drunk and driving. Laws should be made and enforced against texting…
As drivers, we face many instances of danger while behind the wheel: colliding with other drivers or even crashing in to pedestrians if a driver is not careful. The distraction of a driver only heightens said dangers and can be controlled. While some may argue that using a handheld cell phone while driving should be legal, they are wrong because without a law in place prohibiting this action, this will hinder drivers socially, economically, and politically. First, using our phones while…
The central idea of the article “Should children get to have cellphones in elementary school?,” written by Donna St. George discusses the highs and lows of having a cellphone in Elementary school. In fact, it is stated how "It's definitely a trend we're seeing at younger levels – being allowed to bring cellphones on campus," (St. George, paragraph 6). Although this might not be a good thing it is a big trend and we do see cellphones everywhere, for younger kids and even some older ones it could…
Why do people text and drive when they know that their putting their own lives at risk? Maybe because texting has become so popular in today’s society and it’s everyone’s best way of communicating. Receiving and sending texts at the push of one button in seconds is the “greatest thing” that’s happened in today’s world. It isn’t so great when dealing with driving however.

Sentiments about the free government-phone phenomenon continue to arise, while some sets of feelings forge their way toward opposing points of view, as well as positive ones. Meaning, well beyond the fact that free-phones-from-the-government began their existence almost fifteen years ago, current year 2016 reaction convincingly commences its revelation of surprisingly shocking sentiments. Surely, not every perspective on the-Obama-phone low-income communications program harbors ill intent.…

Numerous deaths and accidents have happened because someone was somehow distracted by a form of technology. In fact, in the United States, in 2015 three thousand four hundred seventy seven people were killed and three hundred ninety one thousand people were injured in an accident involving a distracted…
released so other electrons can go through and will be obtained by oxygen (O2) to form into water (H2O). Oxygen also called terminal electron acceptor is necessary to remove electrons so other electrons can go through and to pump out protons (H+) for cellular respiration. An enzyme called ATP synthase provided protons energy to make ATP. Protons can only go through ATP synthase in a controlled way to go to the matrix of a mitochondria. ATP synthase makes ATP from adenosine diphosphate (ADP)…
Possible VoIP issues Drop or jitter in VoIP audio can be cause by a number of different things. Some of the possible issues that could cause a drop in audio include connections issues, bad packet routing, malfunction session timers, over aggressive silence detection, or talk-off's. Any one of these can be a cause of dropping audio in a VoIP call. Some may happen more frequent the others and some may be more severe, but understanding all possible issues can help determine the cause when…
The article “ When Did Photosynthesis Emerge on Earth?” was written by the principal investigator of the Ames Research Center team of the NASA Astrobiology Institute, David Des Marais. His experience has led him to publish more than 160 technical articles and chapters on many research topics such as the biogeochemical carbon cycle and the early evolution of the Earth and its biosphere. In this particular article, Des Marais establishes that life dates back to 3800 years ago and that not only…
