Schools and classes rooms are weaving in computers and cell phones in to class ( what we are doing in class today is a great example). Businesses are using new technologies to sell their product.

I think that it is possible that certain animals can experience boredom. I am not an expert on nuerons, but some animals have a close number of chromosomes to us. They might have the same emotional cells as us. Machines could build enough to discover this and possibly even change this.VivianD2014https://www.blogger.com/profile/14323280468384242387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075340317118605881.post-16626260276966704812010-10-08T13:09:01.535-06:002010-10-08T13:09:01.535-06:00Jack and Ian-

Without cell phones and the internet, I would never talk to them, or see them again.
