The main visual elements are the kid and the parents .This picture is about the breach of technology usage between two generations. The older generation is not very tech orientated and prefers talking. While the younger kid represents the younger generation and prefers bogging over talking. This artist is a person who does not like technology very much, as he shows that people prefer to type over talk. He is showing that technology is stopping people from talking and families from interacting. This cartoon is ironic as generally technology has helped people to communicate but here it stop communication. The artist could have showed the kid with more technological devices like a laptops and cellphones.

Vonnegut; Wrong or Right?
Vonnegut is wrong in his saying . I do see his reasoning in the nuclear submarine, but the computer example is clearly wrong. I believe computers help the becoming. Its allowing us to do things we have never done before. Now we can do to new planets and extreme locations using computers. Using computer we are able to see the universe out there. We have made so many new discoveries with the help of computers. Back on earth we have computer to make work easier, to make construction more accurate. We can make artificial intelligence using computers and uncover Isaac Asimov’s positron brains. We can do amazing things using computer. They are clearly the invention of this century. As for the submarine, all though it destructive power is menacing, it is our defense. And weapons like the submarine are necessary to protect. And they are defensive not offensive weapons. And inventions like the computer, do not stop to becoming, but encourage the becoming.

Also our school has a lot of new programs installed to help make work easier. Besides computers they also have new water processing and energy producing plants.
The 5 most important inventions today are
Hybrid cars
Internet
Medicine
Space shuttles
Computers
The five least inventions today

cold war stimulation
Which country where you and what strategy did you use?
I was the USSR, one of the super power. our strategy was to get the best countries first at the cheapest price we could. But it turned out the U.S.A was better at bargaining then we were. also we devolved a new strategy further on in the game, which was to buy many nuclear missiles so we could destroy the other country
Who won?
The countries that got money but never fought. They were the real winners!

V.C
Here are three design tips that could be help:
-don't wear green on the recording; you will turn out invisible
-If you want to have any extra lights on during the recording, put them on while setting up the V- screen
The two best aspects are that it is raletively easy because V.C does every thing for you and it is fun. the worst aspects were that the computer would sometimes mess up and all your work would be lost. Also sometimes V.C mess up.
