School and work isn't entirely that different. Most of the time you have to use the same skills that you have learned in school. Also you should never stop trying to learn! If someone in your workplace is trying to teach you something or if they are teaching someone else something, go over and learn I guarantee it won't hurt in the long run.

3d printing is an invention that is really truly mind-blowing. Just the thought of them trips my mind, it doesn't seem right that something can print a real object right in front of your eyes. I think they are really really cool, but I don't know how much I would trust it to be printing the food i eat. It just doesn't make sense because good tasting food comes from how you prepare it. So I feel like the food that it prints will taste very bland. On the other hand I would love it if i could print shoes and other material items off!
Today I'll be writing about my favorite in class technology tool. My favorite tool is probably Desmos because it does the graphing in math for you! It saves so much time and eliminates the chances of human error while counting. Not only that but you don't even need paper or anything all you have to do is type in the equation and it graphs it for you.
Edward Snowden is a former CIA agent who worked for the NSA (Nation Security Agency) and he leaked confidential documents about government surveillance secretly. He is considered many different things from a patriot to a traitor. Snowden currently resides somewhere in Russia because the U.S has already revoked his passport and said that his acts violate the espionage act and is punishable by up to 30 years in federal prison. I consider him more of a patriot than a traitor.
You're digital footprint is really something a lot of people seem overlook about themselves. I used to be one of those people I didn't think it could have such an effect on as many things as it does. It's always important to think about what you're going to post on anything on the web. Think about if you're going to hurt or offend anyone by posting or think about this will effect you negatively. The snappening just goes to show that even if you think its gone, chances are that its probably not if you posted it on the web. SOMEONE OR SOMETHING SOMEWHERE HAS THAT DATA!!!
In today's world you really don't have any excuses to not at least come up with an educated answer. Most people have smart phones now, not all, but most so all you have to do is take your phone out and Google whatever problem you may have. Now I know Google may not always have the answer it usually can get you at least a clue. For example i was just wondering how an underwater tunnel is constructed. I simply took my iPad out and googled "How is an underwater tunnel built" and i got a surplus of answers and methods of how they're made! So that is why learning is become easier because information is so easily found.
I believe the google 20% project is very cool for the employees at work, it's a very cool and unique way to keep their employees happy. I don't really know how i feel about the idea of doing it as an in class assignment. I can't think of anything right now that i would do for it. But with some time I'm sure I could think of something, so maybe i would enjoy this.
Technology classes are hopefully offered by every school. I know my school offers a few classes like Visual Basic, Micro Apps, and others. Technology is something that is huge in today's world. Most everyone has a cell phone, computer, tablet nowadays. Jobs are everywhere if you have a background in technology. Google has one of the most amazing workplaces in the world they make sure there employees are happy and comfortable at all times. The point of this is to tell you that with taking technology classes in high school and college helps you tremendously in the future!
Today, I watched in video in Multimedia about the ways that technology are helping people who have lost limbs or are completely paralyzed. They have brainwave censors wired to you're brain then a mechanical arm and just by using the thought process of moving your arm. This is one of the most inspiring things i think i have seen in medical technology. The woman in the video had a new sense of life and it was really something to see.
The Khan Academy is one of the most useful websites for math help and some science help! This is the honest truth, I'm not sure I would've passed geometry without it. If you don't understand a subject just search whatever you may be troubled by. I used it because I couldn't understand some types of problems and the way my teacher explained them. Khan Academy explains them in a way where i think everyone can truly understand. If you don't understand it the first time you can watch the video as many times as you want.
