			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At a certain age one is ready to assume the rights of adulthood. Adulthood is when one reaches a certain age of maturity. Many people argue on what this age should be. I personally believe it is the age where you graduate high school. I believe that this age is 18. You gain the rights of adulthood at 18 because you now live on your own, and are responsible for urself. Also, many new things are available to you legally, and you are responsible for what happens. You also need to take on the responsibility of a job so you can buy food and pay for shelter because it may no longer be provided to you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To help society I have created a pair of headset-GPS navigation. GPS stands for global positioning system and it is system of satellites, computers, and receivers that are able to determine the latitude and longitude of a receiver on Earth. I&#8217;ve then taken this device I have built it into a headset. Attached to the headset is a bud that goes in your ear and a visor that goes over your eyes. These are useful in many ways. Now you don&#8217;t need to occasionally glance over at your GPS for directions. With the visor you can see the arrows and directions directly on the road. Using the earbud you can hear the voice of the GPS very clearly. Also if you miss your turn the headset-GPS will automatically recalculate the fastest route from your current position.</p>
<p>The Headset-GPS is a very good product that helps eliminate a few dangers of driving. This item uses the GPS technology to automatically recalculate a route if you happen to miss a turn. The recalculated route is garunteed to be the fastest route from your new current position. This automatic recalculating feature help eliminate the danger of you taking your eyes off of the road to press the recalculate button if your current GPS cannot recalculate.</p>
<p>The recalculating feature is useful, but another important feature of this product is the single earbud. The earbud is located along the side of the headset and fits around and in your ear. With this feature you can hear the directions given very clearly. If you have company along in the car they could make a lot of noice that could easily distract. The noise by your company could also over-power the directions being given. With the earbud you are assured to be able to hear the directions.</p>
<p>The earbud and the recalculating feature are important, but the most important feature is the visor. The visor is a clear sheet of glass that goes in front of your eyes. The GPS technology takes the information and applies it directly onto the visor. With this you can now see the arrows and directions right on the road itself. Constantly glancing over at your regular GPS is not the best thing. Constantly taking your eyes off the road to look at it could be extremely dangerous if you&#8217;re not careful. Using this product can help eliminate that danger as well.</p>
<p>This product I&#8217;ve invented to help benefit society is called the Headset-GPS. It&#8217;s used to eliminate the few dangers of driving while using a regular GPS system. The Headset-GPS has a recalculating feature so you don&#8217;t need to take your eyes off the road and your hand off the wheel to recalculate. It also has a built in earbud to allow you to clearly hear the directions given even if there are loud noises in the car. There is a visor attached that goes over your eyes to allow to you see the arrows and written directions directly on the road instead of having to occasionally glance down at a regular GPS.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Great thoughts speak only to a thoughtful mind, but great actions speak to all humankind.&#8221; This quotaion can be interpereted in many different ways. The first part of the quote means that you can only come up with a great idea if you take the time to contemplate and think everything through. &#8220;But great actions speak to all humankind&#8221; could be interpereted differently. It could mean that if you create something useful, it can benefit all of mankind. Although if you cause something destructive the whole world could be affected. Either for good or bad, our actions can affect us, other people, and the world around us.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The most important technological advancement of all time is the wheel. Because of the wheel we are now able to travel long distances in a short amount of time. The wheel can also be used to help move heavier objects. It can also be used as a steering mechanism. Thanks to the wheel and its technological advancements we can use wheels on many forms of transportation to get us from place to place in a short amount of time. When we attach a wheel to an axel it becomes a simple machine allowing us to do more work with less effort. If we attach a wheel to certain parts of some modes of transportation we are able to turn that form of transportation in different directions. I believe in the future we will a lot of wheels for gears to turn certain parts of futuristic inventions.</p>
<p>The wheel is a circular device that is capable of rotating on an axis, allowing movement while carrying a lot of weight. It was created in ancient Mesopotamia in the fifth millennium BC. Thanks to the Mesopotamians we can now travel long distances in a very short amount of time. Now we attach wheels onto the bottom of automobiles such as trains and cars. Cars allow us to travel over one hundred miles per hour, and trains allow us to travel much faster than that. Because of this we are able to travel much faster and farther than if we were walking. Wheels are even attached to the bottoms of airplanes as landing gears to allow them to slow down and even land.</p>
<p>Although wheels are often thought of as tools to help us travel, they can also be used to help us lift and carry object we normally could not on our own. We can use physics and the wheel and axle to help. Physics is the study of the science of matter and its motion. The wheel and axle, as used in physics, can be used to multiply the force you put apply. This is called the mechanical advantage (MA). The MA of the wheel and axle is found by taking the radius of the wheel, and dividing it by the radius of the axle. For example, you could use a wheel and axle to turn a rope to pull a heavy amount of water out of a well.</p>
<p>Another use for the wheel is for it to be used as a steering mechanism. The wheel can be attached to certain vehicles to change the direction that the vehicle is moving. For example, the wheel is used in cars called the steering wheel. This turns the wheel and axle on the bottom of the car to have the car turn to the left and right. Boats also use a wheel to steer. On a boat it is called the helm. A helmsman, the person who uses the helm to steer, moves the helm to alter the rudders on some ships to change the direction of the boat.</p>
<p>The single most important technological advancement has to be the wheel. It is able to move people in all directions at a very quick pace. It also allows us to perform certain tasks we could not do on our own without it. We can also use it as a steering mechanism.<br />
Because of the wheel being attached to certain means of transportation we are able to travel at rates of over one hundred miles per hour. The wheel and axle can help us multiply our applied force to accomplish certain tasks. Wheels can also be used by some vehicles to alter the direction that the vehicle is going. Because the wheel allows us to expand and perform certain tasks, it is definitely considered one of the greatest technological advancements of all time.</p>
