Hoverboard

It was a warm sunny day in late December, I ran and leapt on. I immediately fell and landed straight on my back. The board went flying down the shore without me. I still couldn’t figure out how to ride on the board. Did I need to distribute my weight better? Last December, when my family was in the Ron Jon surf shop, in Cocoa Beach, Florida, we noticed a strange blue board. It was like a surfboard, only it was much smaller and was a bit broader. When I asked my Mom what it was, she explained…

analysis on Uglies Imagine a world free of poverty, where the idea of a patriarchal society is laughed upon, and everyone is breathtakingly beautiful. It's a world where the flaws of humanity are stripped away in the exchange for a world filled with hoverboards and parties . This so-called utopia mirrors the society represented in Scott Westerfeld's Uglies, which criticizes both modern-day society as well as envisions the future of the where society will be heading towards. The novel follows the…

In the video Simon Sinek on Millennial & Internet Addiction, Simon Sinek argues that children and adults in this generation receive instant gratification, and that they do not learn social coping mechanism.

“The times have changed” they say, but what's so different in our society to the past. I see nothing but repetition. Just phone's changing shapes, teens still rebelling, the poor still being poor, corruption among our government and the list goes on.

Incidentally if you look at our society to Brave New World we are all but the same in some way. I'm convinced that the purpose…

Our inventions pushing us into the new age and pushing out the block phones and the tiny televisions of the 1900’s. Creating a century only to be known as the Worry age. Our children in this century are so used to the easy “hands-on” way of electronics. Not only are they able to find out the density of a certain object within seconds, but…

walking became both boring and difficult” (aeon). Not only do we have cars, motorcycles, bikes and other types of modern day transportation to ride that helps us get around, but we now have smaller uses of transportation. For instance, we now have Hoverboards, which are small boards that consist of a wheel on each side. The person’s balance determines the direction of which way they move. The creation of products such as ones like this is what has made walking viewed as unnecessary. No one wants…

Advancements in technology are inevitable. Some new advancements in technology are excellent and beneficial, but some are morally wrong. We live in a world where the ideas scientist imagined back in the 1920s are simple elementary creations today, so to see the strides we’ve made is quite an accomplishment. Not only are we so prestige in modern technology, but we are also at that era in time where religion, race, and morals are all mixed up. We are constantly in an argument with each other.…
