One thousand can either be a lot or a little. It’s a little when you’re burning through Chuck E. Cheese’s game tokens at a fourth grade birthday party and have to share those tokens with a hundred other kids. But this Christmas, a thousand seemed like an endless number.
Communication Technology
An interesting topic was brought up last week in English class. To start off class my English teacher, Mrs. Marker, had each of us write a paragraph based on the idea that recent advancements in communication technologies like Facebook, Twitter, smart phones, and Skype are slowly killing human social life. It was meant to be a persuasive paragraph on whether I thought these advancements were good or bad for the future of human interaction.
