I don't like Tinker Cad at all. The program is extremely confusing to manipulate, and it's hard to tell if what you're building is actually what you meant to build. The directions that it gave for the walk through were unhelpful and not descriptive at all making it hard to understand what I was even supposed to do. I am not a very computer smart person , so this made it even harder. I'm extremely scared that our design is flawed somewhere, which will make it morphed like Mrs. Apperson talked about. I hope it all turns out well.
P.S. Please get a new program.

Technology has had a massive effect on our society ever since it was introduced in the 1980s. This empact is extreme in our new age societies. Our society is completely immersed in technology, and it leaves us unable to communicate efficiently and effectively. Being unable to communicate can cause immense problems with not only our societies, but the societies after
In the story The Last Storyteller, the author satirizes the fact that the generation of millennials is obsessed with their phones and all technology. It shows that the art of storytelling using anything but a technological platform is a lost cause. These people lose power for what is likely to be a few hours, and the boy is unable to do anything except question how his grandfather could tell a story without technology. It just shows how obsessive we are with everything technology. Nothing is worse than trying to tell someone something, and you just see them staring at their phones, nodding their heads, pretending to listen. You never see anyone without their cellphone in hand, and people panic when their phone loses charge, and it leaves them to actually communicate. How terrifying! I am guilty of this, but it's always good to just set down your device and actually talk and tell stories because you aren't going to remember what Britney posted on her Instagram ten years from now, you'll remember those funny stories your parents told you about your childhood or that time that you tripped walking up the stairs at school. I think that this article served its purpose very well. It actually makes you think about how much we use our technology, and helps you kind of laugh at yourself because we can see ourselves in the boy.
In both The Wave and Animal Farm, language is a huge part of how characters gain power. In Animal Farm, the pigs, like Napoleon and Snowball, use language as a way to put themselves above the rest of the animals who didn't understand key aspects of their propaganda. For example, the pigs taught themselves to read and write, while no other animals knew how. They used this to take advantage of the others who didn't understand what they were reading from the walls of the barn. Much like in The Wave, Mr. Ross not only used his superiority, but he used powerful language like discipline, community, and action, to put these kids, who didn't know what they were actually doing, under his control.
War is conflict between two things, that in the end causes termoil and, quite possibly, further war.
