When did the internet come to? When did the internet start to become popular?

 It came from the development of computers in the 1950's. The internet was first used to send messages to others through ARPANet from computer science professor Leonard Kleinrock's laboratory at University of California. The internet was first used for work. Today the internet is used for anything you can think of. From entertainment to finding information to working .

Today the internet takes a big part of our lives. So much that we are addicted to it and use it in our everyday lives.

Why did people start making technology

People started making technology because the wanted to gain better techniques and tools that help them in need. One of the first most popular technologies is the creation of the wheel. Wheels helped people move things around by making wagons and carts. The first wheel was made in the 4th millennium BC. We still use wheels today. Mostly for transportation purposes. 

When someone invents something, it gives other people ideas. which  results in other people trying to build off of the original idea and making it more advanced.

What motivates people to invent new technology?

What motivates people to make new technology is mostly the competition. Because people are always trying to see who can do it better. For instance, Phone companies. They are always competing to see if they can make the fastest, best looking, or best quality Phone. And when someone gets the best hits, this makes the other person want to invent something better.
   Although some people do actually want to make new technology to make people better and make them happy. Like Google. Google is coming up with new ideas to make things better for people.

Has technology changed us

The Internet has changed us because you can literally do anything from anywhere on a computer or a phone and anything that has internet access. You can do anything from like communication, finding information, to entertainment. Businesses also changed from technology because it helps them work faster and if they have faster work their businesses improves. But it also makes people lazy because they can sit at home and do nothing all day and just work over the internet or play games. Some people complain that we have too much technology and that we need not to rely so much on it.  Because if something where to go wrong with technology, we would be in big trouble. 

 
Connection:
I think the technology has some pros and cons. Technology is good because you can do almost anything you desire any at any time and from anywhere. And the reason why it would be bad is because people can use technology for evil and it also makes us as people lazy. Because we dont have to do to much when we use technology.

Government shutdown

Every year the government is supposed to pass a budget by september 30. The republicans refused to pass budgets that wouldn't affect obamacare because they are trying to get rid of obamacare. On the other hand the Democrats refused to pass one that would affect obamacare because they didnt want Obamacare to look bad. This is whats causing the government to shut down  until they pass a budget . Personally, I think that it is both of there faults . Because no one wants to tell the whole truth, they just want to mislead everyone so they can hop on the band wagon.

Obamas plan for Syria

Because of Syria"s chemical weapons, thousands of people have died and Obama wants to put an end to this. So Obama made a deal with Russia that secure their weapons and if Syria doesnt give up their weapons we will be forced to send missiles. I think that this is a good deal because we are giving Syria a chance to give up their weapons before we bomb them. and if we do bomb them then that will send a message to make them give up their weapons.

Quotes and why we study history

                                                                      Quotes.

   I like the quote "We are not the makers of history. We are made by history" by Martin Luther King, Jr.
   We study history because people want to know what it was like in the early ages. This leads to how
 humans evolved from early human. History tells us the cycle of life and how the earth was and what will happen in the future. History also tells us about who we are as a person and where we came from. It is cool learning about how humans in the past used things to survive. If we did not know anything about history we would know where we got our survival skills from and why we do what we do. And there has been some pretty interesting things that has been found from the past like the first form of painting, which was cave drawing. And things like tools, writing, and construction. Most of the things they used back then, we still use now. History just gives us an understanding of people and the society.

   I am Darrick Sanders and what I would like to learn this year is more about the ancient history

 because I like to learn about how we evolved from then to now. My favorite book is the hunger games.

 I read the hole series in middle school. When I read the first book, it made me want to read the rest of

 them. My favorite movie is the sitter with Jonah Hill because it is a really funny movie. Its about this

 guy that has to watch his moms friends kids because his mom wants to go on a double date. But

 everything goes wrong because Jonah wants to hang out with this girl that he thought was his

 girlfriend but she is really using him. So he has to take the kids with him but the kids get him in a lot of

 trouble and Jonah destroys the kids parents car. Its a really funny movie. If I could live in another

 country other that the united states, I would live in France Paris because it is a really cool place and

 there is a lot to do there. But first I would have to lear french and I think french is a cool language.

 I am Darrick Sanders and these where some of the things that you needed to learn about me.
