China has been censoring or blocking different social media websites, as they beleive have the ability to spread rumors about their country. Facebook for instances has been blocked since July 2008 and they replaced Facebook with an alternative website called Weibo, a website that is more easily filtered. I believe this is foolish of the government in China as some of the websites blocked help spread useful information, yes some is false but you just have to filter through the nonsense.

I believe this is a wonderful idea, because some people eat alone everyday and this can be really depressing. If they had someone to eat with and talk with during lunch can improve how someone is feeling just talking to even one person can improve someone's mood. This can even help someone make new friends.
With augmented reality becoming more popular and more successful more doors are opening in the learning field. Doctors in training can preform surgeries with out the risk of killing or harming anyone, because the doctors would not be preforming it on a real human. In the military bomb defusers can be trained with this augmented reality. In schools this tool can be used in biology to dissect something with out the risk of any sickness or harm.
I believe Google's 20 time project is a wonderful idea. If students had the option to take 20% of their school time to work on an individual project of their choice would increase work ethics and how well some people manage their time. This might even be a way to get those students who slack off and don't manage their time properly to start managing it more wisely and putting forth more effort in school. School systems should start enforcing and trying this method. Stray away from some of the multiple choice tests and do more projects more students tend to be more interested in visuals anyway and if it is something they enjoy and look forward too more effort to learn the subject will be greater.
Many people stress out about studying for exams, they should just calm down and find a way to study that is less stressful, make it fun. I am positive there are games out on the internet that you can use to increase vocabulary skills and even math skills. There might even be some for science and history, all you have to do is search for it use an iPad find apps and websites that can make studying easier and more enjoyable. I personally enjoy using Khan Academy and Quizlet as Khan offers videos that are easy to understand and learn from and Quizlet has tons of vocabulary you can study, you can even play different mini games and take pretests on Quizlet.

The amount of programmers required to make a video game had to of been at least 10. I believe the amount of programmers required to make a video game in this day and age has increased, the graphics are better, and motions are smoother.
You can go to this website https://www.madewithcode.com/ and code your own tree like the one below and the White House will display it at the Given time and date. Now some of you might ask why would Google do something like this? Why would Google want to introduce coding? Well the answer is in the number of programmers and coders Google has employed, there are not a whole lot of them and they are the ones in charge of making all of your apps you use today. Google wants people to take up an interest in coding for the future to help produce more coders that are ready for hire.
Tile is a little tool that can help you find whatever it is attached too as long as you have a smartphone or device that can download the app and use Bluetooth. When you want to find an item that the Tile is attached too you would open up the app and click what ever you named that Tile and click the Find button the Tile will start playing a melody and when you hear it you know where to look, the app also gives the option to look at a map for the last place seen, the last place the phone/device has detected the Tile. The Tile's Bluetooth range is only about 100 feet. For more information click the link _
I think this will bring our society to become less reliant on our own thinking skills and more reliant on things such as phones, tablets, and the Amazon Echo, is it a good thing? I think the answer could go either way some things are beneficial such as being able to ask it a question or to order you something with out even lifting a finger, but it I believe it will cause problems with it having to be plugged in at all times because what if someone wants it with them where ever they go? I think other companies like Apple will most likely come out of a product similar to the Amazon Echo. I think this will become a very popular tool for people who use Amazon to buy products as it will be very beneficial to them.
I believe having students learn that they can make a difference and how to lead others towards that difference would be a huge advantage to those that take advantage of those programs. A lot of college students don't even know what to do after they are out of school, I believe colleges should teach more hands on and less memorization. Local schools should start teaching empathy, teamwork, leadership, and change making in elementary school because those attributes are so crucial in the world we live in today and some people only have a few of those attributes. Countries that do not teach these attributes in school or help students and children develop them have a higher chance to be unsuccessful.
