Roger Bannister

Roger Bannister is a former middle-distance athlete who ran the first sub-four-minute mile. Everyone around him said that running a four minute mile would be impossible, but this did not stop Bannister. On May 6,1954 he achieved his goal of running the mile in 3 minutes and 59.4 seconds. This shows his Arate attitude and it proves that just because someone says something doesn't mean that it's true. We must never give up on a dream just because someone tells us that it's impossible. We just need to work hard and stay dedicated because if we truly want to achieve something we can make it.

                    

Raindrop Presbyopic Inlay

The raindrop inlay is designed for people between the ages of 41-65. This new innovation is for people who are losing the near sighted vision. As we age our natural eye lens becomes hard and makes it hard for us to focus on anything near us. To implant the device, the doctor will create a flap on the cornea and place the raindrop there. Once he has put the raindrop there he will seal the cornea back up. This innovation is a real improvement, with this new innovation a lot of people will not need glasses anymore. In the near future glasses won't be made anymore all because of this new innovation.

Mikaele Oloa

Mikaele Oloa is a fire-knife master. At the age of 15 he won World Fireknife Champion, making him the youngest competitor to ever win. He began training with his father at the age of 5! That is really amazing, he has been practicing this since he was 5, that really shows a person that he didn't get to be the wold champion by luck. Oloa had worked long and hard for his reward, he has put so much passion and dedication to his work. Seeing how long and hard he's worked it doesn't surprise me that he has been the World Fireknife Champion for 5 years in a row. This Arate person shows that the road to success takes years and even though at times it might seem hard we must never give up. He also shows that if we have a great passion for something we must not hesitate to go for it.

Lock8

The Lock8 is a bike lock to ensure your bike never gets stolen again. The Lock8 uses and app to be unlocked. It will also send a alarm to your phone when it senses any type of burglary. I think is great innovation, is this type of lock can be invented for a bike imagine the other types of locks that can be invented. What I really like about this new lock is that it uses an app and it's connected to our phones which everyone has and uses. 

Nathan Sawaya

 Sawaya is a American-based artist who creates three-dimensional sculptors using the LEGO blocks. He left his job as an attorney to work for the LEGO Company, but whit-in six moths of working there he left and opened his own art studio in New York. His great creations have gone very far and have captured every ones eyes. Even the LEGO Company made him a LEGO Certified Professional, he is also a LEGO Master Builder and is the only person with those two tittles. In my opinion I think it took a lot of courage for him to leave his job as an attorney and become an artist. His work is amazing and it really shows that in order to make something happen you have to just go and take a leap of faith.

Blown to Bits Chapter 2

There are half a million cameras in London. The cameras around London are the most effective technology for tracking. Cellphones keep track of who they call and where they call from. Credit card companies know where you sent your money and what you spent your money on as well. Almost nothing in the web is private anymore, the explosive growth of technology has altered what we believe should be private anymore. In the electronic world we leave digital fingerprints such as data trails. There are many websites where you can watch what is happening in that moment! A GPS will locate wherever you are on earth. This can come in handy when getting lost or looking for a criminal. All the technology around so us keeps track of everything that we do, there's no escaping from it. Everything in the digital world is also connected to one another although we may not always see the connection, it is there. Technology has not stolen our privacy, we have given it ourselves. Sites know who we are because we tel them, also the sites keep track of who visits the them and they have our IP Address. Big Brother is always watching us and for those who have nothing to hide, there is nothing wrong with it. Besides this is the what it has come to, we have given up our privacy but to the price that we have the whole world in our hand.
