The Future...

The future, it's something a lot of us wonder about, what new jobs will there be? What cool new inventions will be there? Will we all be millionaires? Will cows grow wings and fly? There are so many questions you could think of about the future, but most no one can say for sure will happen. Everyone has hopes for what will happen in the future. We just don't know basically anything that will happen!

Some of my hopes for the future are that global warming will be solved, the economy will be better and that situations like poverty are improved. Those are probably the main hopes that a lot of people have for the future. They're things that are bad now, so we hope that in the future someone will fix it and each situation will be improved.

There are also many new inventions that people now wish they have, so in the future we hope that people will have those. Some really cool inventions I can think of would be things like teleporting, automatically filling fridge/pantry and of course way better computers than we already have. Teleporting would be amazing because let's say you were sitting at home and kind of hungry and you felt like eating Chinese food. With a teleporter you could just instantly go to China, pick up some food than go home! It would be amazing! An automatically filling fridge/pantry would be a thing where you tell it what you would like to eat and it would just appear! You would never have to go grocery shopping or running out of some food that you really want. Also, better computers would be great. That one is pretty self-explanatory. Our computers are already really amazing, but they could always be better, we always have complaints.

So, in the future, there are many things that we wish would happen and things we wish will be created. We just don't know which or if any of them will happen! So, for the future all we can do is work for the future and hope.

Having a dinosaur as a pet...

Having a dinosaur as a pet seems like a pretty crazy idea. It would be really cool though! Dinosaurs are kind of a weird thing to think about though, no one we know could of possibly seen one, which is unlike many, many things in this world. The only way we can imagine them is through fossils and their skeletons. From there people can create a digital image of what they may have looked like. Although, we can't tell what colour they would have been, so they could have been really bright colours like yellow, purple and green! Or they could have been really bland colours like tan, white and gray. There is just no way to tell!

So even thinking of what a dinosaur was is so hard, thinking of what one would be like as a pet is even harder! When you think of a pet you think of a furry little dog or cat and maybe a cute little fish. Definitely not something as monstrous as a dinosaur! Imagine trying to house train one of those! It would be pretty cool to have one though, well if they were trained... I'm sure it would be the best watch dog ever! No one would dare come near your house with a massive dinosaur standing in front of it!

If I could have a dinosaur as I pet, I think I would want either a Tyrannosaurus Rex or a Pterodactyl. I would want a T-Rex because they're the dinosaur everyone talks about! They're very big and their teeth were huge! A T-Rex in my opinion is the scariest dinosaur. I would want one, as long as it liked me and wouldn't hurt me, because they'd be a great guard dog! It would freak me out a bit waking up in the morning and looking out my window to see it though...

I might want a Pterodactyl as a pet though because it could fly me around to places! No need for a car, if I wanted to go to the mall or a friends house I can just get my pet pterodactyl to fly me somewhere! Those things are also really big, so they must fly very fast, and my friends could fit on too! So if I could have a dinosaur as a pet I would want a cross breed of a Tyrannosaurus Rex and a Pterodactyl, a Pterodactosaurus Rex!

So having a dinosaur as a pet is a hard thing to imagine, but it would be very cool! It would be hard and probably a bit creepy seeing it in your backyard! So if I could have one dinosaur as a pet it would be a cross breed of a T-Rex and a Pterodactyl, a Pterodactosaurus Rex!

If I won the lottery...

If I won the lottery and obtained 40 million dollars there is a lot of stuff I would LOVE to do! I think I would start with buying a private jet, just because I could travel wherever I wanted, whenever I wanted! I would also donate about 2 or 3 million to charity. I don't know which charities but probably 1 million to poverty in Africa, 0.5 million to animal related charities and 1 million to Haiti. I would also hire someone to personally create my graduation dress. Then I would buy a summer home in the Bahamas and a cottage in Michigan. I would definitely also buy one of those tickets to go to space. That would be AMAZING!

I would use a lot of the money traveling and shopping. I would also save some for when I'm older so I can buy a sick car and a mansion. It would be hard to save the money, but I would save at least 20 million out of my 40 million to use later in my life. I would definitely use some of it to pay for a good university and education. Some of the money I would give to my friends or spend on them like taking them on an awesome vacation, but I would also give a lot to my family, especially my mom. With all that money I would also go shopping a lot and buy super expensive designer clothes that I could never afford right now.

I think my favorite thing about having all that money would be traveling a lot and having an amazingly large house! Having a big beach house and cool cottage would also be really fun! With the money I would also do tons of stuff that I love, like going to concerts. I would even buy those concert tickets to go back stage and meet the bands that are always so overpriced.

Having that much money is hard to even think about! It's just an insanely large number, but I'm sure I wouldn't run out. Right now I don't really know everything that I would do with that money. It'd be nice to have all of that because you wouldn't ever have to be worried about not having enough money or going into debt. I could also donate a lot to charity and that always feels good to know that you're helping, especially with the situation in Haiti.

If I could relive a day...

There are a few days that I might want to re-do and change something that I might've done wrong, or wish I did differently. There are also some days though that I just loved so much that I wouldn't mind reliving!

There are a few days when maybe I didn't do something that I really should've, like maybe study more a few days before the science exam! Some times there's thing that I wish I hadn't done and if I could re-do a day maybe I would do something differently. There's some days that maybe I wish I hadn't gone somewhere and just stayed at home, or maybe the opposite. Sometimes I may have said something that I can't take back, if I could do that day over again I could change it so I hadn't said or done that.

Some days I would love to re-live, just for the fun of it, like the day I went to a Jonas Brother's concert, or the day I went to the Cambridge Fall Fair with Emily M and saw some bands play. I would never want to live the same day over and over again, though. Even if it was the best day ever, living it over and over again would get really boring. No matter what day it was living it over and over again you would get very sick of it.

So I think everyone would like to live a day over again just for fun or to change something. Some days people do things without thinking and later they wish they could change what they did or said. Also, everyone would love to re-live a day, just simply because it was a really good day! Everyone has at least one special day that was great, but for different reasons. I certainly have a few days I would want to re-do just for fun and because I would want to change something I did or said.

Super Powers!!

It would be great to have super powers. Being able to do incredible things without even trying! You could do anything, fly, read minds, become invisible or shape shift! Those are a few of my favorite super powers.

It would so SO cool to fly because you could go anywhere! Have you ever really wanted to go somewhere, like your friends house, but your parents wouldn't drive you? If you could fly you could just go there by yourself! Also, I really like flying in planes, it just feels really cool! It would be even more cool if you were just flying by yourself, not in some mechanical thing with a bunch of other people.

I would also really like to read minds, but I probably wouldn't want someone to read my mind! Haven't you ever wondered what someone is thinking of you? Like when walking around and some random person kind of looks at you weird, I would love to know what was going through their mind! Also, if someone is talking to you and you're kind of wondering if they're lying to you, you could just read their mind and you would know if they were lying!

Also, it would be amazing if you could be invisible. It would be a lot of fun to play pranks on people. Imagine driving your sister or brother crazy by just moving things in their room around and them having any idea what was going on!

So, I think that everyone would love to have super powers. Everyone would want different super powers though and for different reasons! Super powers would just be a lot of fun, especially kind of because you know that you can do something really special, that no one else can do. Even if some people could it probably wouldn't be many. Everyone does already have something special and unique about them, but super powers are amazing and cannot possibly be ignored.

So if I could have any super powers I wanted I would want to fly, read minds, become invisible and shape shift. To me those are the absolute coolest super powers I could ever imagine. If I could only have one, well, it would be a tie between flying and reading minds. What super powers would you want?

Someone Else's Shoes

If I could be another person for a day I would be a celebrity, like Taylor Swift or Katy Perry or Miley Cyrus. I would be someone like them because I think it would be a lot of fun to perform on stage and have a big crowd of people. While I was a famous person (with lots of money!) I would for sure go shopping at the biggest malls ever and buy tons of clothes and things. It would also be good to be a celebrity to see what it's like, because they always say how it's not always easy and fun, it's kind of hard to believe that though. So I think it would be good to be a celebrity to see if their complaints are true, or if they're just being winey.

I would mainly want to be famous to just have fun performing on stage, when they're up there it looks like they're having a lot of fun. Also, just the feeling they must have being up there, dancing and singing on stage with a huge crowd cheering for them and singing along.

Being a famous star might be hard though, it would take a lot of energy to sing almost every night and waking up early every morning. Also, paparazzi would love to catch you looking silly and publish it everywhere! Also it'd be close to impossible to keep anything private! Imagine if everyone was trying to find out all your secrets, someone would find out. You see all the stars in magazines, if they have a boyfriend or girlfriend and are even seen with another boy or girl it's published everywhere! It would be hard to have nothing private. The smallest thing you do will be known to everyone and magazines will always make things look worse then they are.

Even with all the bad things about being a celebrity I still would like to be one for a day, maybe a week. I think it would be a lot of fun, but I would also like to see how they feel with everyone invading their privacy.

Did you know?

In class we watched a video called: "Did you know?" and it told us some facts. Some of the facts that impacted me the most were: "China will soon become the number one english speaking country in the world.", "We are currently preparing students for jobs that don't yet exist... using technologies that haven't been invented... in order to solve problems we don't even know are problems yet.", "If Myspace were a country it would be the 5th largest in the world.", "It is estimated that a week's worth of the New York Times contains more information than a person was likely to come across in a lifetime in the 18th century." and "Predictions are that by 2049, a $1000 computer will exceed the computational capabilities of the entire human species."

Some of the information it told us kind of scared us, the fact about a computer being smarter than the whole human species is the fact that scared me the most. Imagine a computer, an electronic gadget being smarter than every human in the world! It also amazed us, like the fact about a week's worth of information from the New York times is more than a person would come across in a lifetime in the 18th century. So when someone is even a teenager if they read and learn the information from the New York Times they would know more information than say a 60 year old person in the 18th century.

This video was really interesting, some of these facts I could never imagine! It really opened my eyes to how the world has really changed and is going to continue changing. Compare the world in the 1800's to now. A lot has changed and in the 3000's or 4000's imagine what things will be like! Things in the world really change, especially in technology and health. There will be many more diseases, but also many more cures. In medicine there will always be something new. That's also true for technology, as you read this there are people making new technology, making computers smarter, making more programs to make our lives easier. It makes me wonder though, if computers will ever become too smart. Think, if they become smarter than us it will have many positives, but having some electronic gadget smarter than me and everyone I know kind of freaks me out.

So, this video really made me think of how the world has changed, and will keep changing. Some of the facts kind of scared me, but I think that it was really interesting and good to know. A lot of things that are being invented or changed will have a mainly positive impact in our future, but everything has it's down sides. For example, if we make cars and streets better maybe no one will walk or bike anymore. That is two down sides, people may not be as healthy or active and the pollution it would cause would be enormous! So this video just showed me how things will keep changing and made me think about the positives and negatives about that.
