In the future, cars will become much better than they are today. They are being developed in order to make the cars safer, cleaner, and sustainable. Today, there are more and more hybrid cars, electric cars, and fuel cell vehicles. The energy they will use include hydrogen, electricity, and even compressed air. Many other technologies are used to improve energy efficiency. For example, the regenerative braking saves and stores energy as backup power. This is used in hybrid vehicles. Another example is Vortex prevention devices in order to reduce air resistence.

xbox 360
the xbox 360 is the second game console created by Microsoft. xbox live allows people to compete online. There are many versions of xbox 360, such as the xbox 360 elite, arcade, and ones that aren’t manufactured anymore, the xbox pro and premium. I like the xbox 360 because of its features, but for its design, was only okay. the design was not appealing, and the controllers had no chargers for the batteries. That is why the PS3 is better. Better design, better graphics, and better hardware.

learning pt5
In university, I can go to harvard to try new technology tasks, such as engineering. At Harvard, my favourite things to do is to try new things. I like to experiment with new things by trying, because I can never be sure if I like what I am doing until I try. Also, learning in technology can even develop character and communication skills, because I have to persevere in what I am doing, and also communicate with other people if I am having problems.

learning in a technology environment can even make me famous. I right now play piano, but the technology, amazingly, has even made Julia and Julie in the movie from almost unknown to the most famous people in the world. So, no matter the case, technology is useful.

This is adobe illustrator work. Notice how the picture has been modified? This is because a new feature called live trace made it work. It is interesting that such a simple feature can transform a boring picture into a fine piece of art. You can also live paint if you don’t like the picture after live trace.
