-Field of Robotics With the recession slowly becoming something of the past, getting employed is the only thing that has not gotten better. This could be blamed on technology. Robots have been a part of our world for many decades from numerous types of movies and shows. Now, instead of helping us they are taking jobs from thousands of people. For example, at grocery stores instead of going to a cashier at a register; anyone can go to a self-check out and do it themselves. Robots have gotten so advanced that they can travel through a warehouse the size of two football fields without a problem. What many people find shocking is that these warehouses have nearly no human employees in them. All of these robots are preprogramed with barcodes on the floors and Wi-Fi streaming from the ceiling. Technology has always created jobs as well as destroyed others. Do to the fast advances in technology, more jobs are being lost rather than made.
-9/11 Museum 9/11 was a tragic terrorist attack. This spring, a museum will be built as a memorial. This museum will be seven stories underground, below where it happened. The most challenging part of building the museum is how to get the message across without making the visit unendurable. All the information about the buildings, planes, and terrorists will be inside of the museum. Alice Greenwald is the director of the building process as well as many member of a council that all have family members who died on that day. The first thing to think of is where to start the story in the museum. When walking in, the visitors will hear voices of where people were when the heard of the attack.

The most sensitive question is whether to have visuals and audio and where to draw the line. Finally, the heart of the museum will be a room to honor all of the
