  1. The Audi car system was pretty neat. It could be use to help drivers and be useful for all other type of things you can do in a car.
  2. Another Audi invention was the app feature you could use from your car. It linked up to your phone allowing you to use whatever app you wanted.
  3. Another Audi invention I liked was was the cars ability to self brake if needed. This is good for when a driver is not paying attention they can stop in time.

  1. The new app that allows blind people to listen to an audio readback of printed text is receiving rave reviews after its first day of availability and is being heralded as a life-changer by many people. Blind people say the KNFB Reader app will enable a new level of engagement in everyday life, from reading menus in restaurants to browsing handouts in the classroom



  • Re-evaluate. Do you really need that extra gadget? Try finding one device with multiple functions.
  • Extend the life of your electronics. Buy a case, keep your device clean, and avoid overcharging the battery. 
  • Buy environmentally friendly electronics. Look for products labeled Energy Star or certified by the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT).
  • Donate used electronics to social programs—and help victims of domestic violence, children safety initiatives, environmental causes, and more. Ask your student REP for a postage paid mailer for your cell phone or ink cartridge. For each item received, the World Wildlife Fund will receive one dollar.
  • Reuse large electronics.
  • Recycle electronics and batteries in e-waste recycling bins located around campus.  Large electronics can go in the larger bins found in your building.

    1. Bloggers were putting huge strains on the government. The government could not do anything without the rest of the world knowing about it. The population that did have internet were able to post what was really going on and the rest of the world supported them.
    2. I personally do not think that people who I have never meant and probably never will, should have power and control over my life over one mistake that I may have done. If I am not hurting anyone or breaking any laws then why should they care and/or have power over my life. So I say no, people should not be able to have you fired or lose you're career over some pictures of you.
    3. I personally don't really watched my online profile, I'm not afraid to show people who I really am or what I really think. However, people need to be careful on what they put on the internet. Once a picture and/or comment is on the internet it can never truly be taken off. To avoid this watch what kind of personal information and pictures you put on it. .
