Besides‚ whether

important‚ we’ve learned to harness a portion of the planet’s energy‚ but we still thirst for so much more power. Technology has improved exponentially since the 1500s‚ and this pace will likely continue in the centuries to come. Physicist Stephen Hawking proposes that by the year 2600‚ this growth would see 10 new theoretical physics papers published every 10 seconds. If Moore’s Law holds true and both computer speed and complexity double every 18 months‚ then some of these studies may

The ramifications of genetic selection as suggested in Leonard Pitts’ “A Risk Free Life” are exponentially detrimental to our society as a whole. Genetic selection would be like opening a virtual “Pandora’s Box” negating the need for hope‚ faith‚ and the drive to overcome any obstacle we as humans are faced with. We see it every day‚ those colored ribbons on the bumpers of cars and in every store we patronize. They not only symbolize diseases‚ but hope. Hope for a cure and the optimism that as each

Topic 6 In my opinion‚ I think that humour is one of the part and parcel elements in our daily lives. Without humour‚ our lives will be boring and dull. In my a few years of observations‚ I found out that person who is humour is always the one who gives creative ideas and has a brilliant mindset. Those people usually have critical thinking and can think very fast. They are also good in socializing. It is because most of the people like to be friend with people who are humour. I have no exception
