B- Weekly Current Event #5

The topic of my article is: The new S3tr invention and all of its unique advantages.

The story is mainley about the new S3tr pronouned as Streeter. This is a one person vehilcle. According to Holloway “The current model uses a standard electric bicycle kit from the Golden moter which grands a range of 15km (9.3 miles) from one charge.”

I think this would be a great way to save gas. I also think that it is a way of getting out of giving someone a ride. This does not really effect me yet because I don’t drive. Overall I think this is a great in invention . That is how I feel about the S3tr.

I think that this impacts the world in a good way and in a bad way. The good way is that it folds up so that you can store it under your desk at work which is a good thing because you don’t have to worry about anyone stealing it. A bad thing is that it is only for one person so if you have kids I would not recommand that you get it.  Another good thing is that it does not take gas you just have to charge the battery. So as you can see the good really does out weight the bad.

Bi-Weekly Current Event #4

The topic of the article is: Apple is planning on making new curved screens.

The article is mainly about Apple planning on making 4.7 and 5.5 inch downward curved screens. According to Prakash “The new phone would likely be released in the third quarter of next year.” The curved glass screen has became a smartphone trend for all the major companies.

I feel that the new curved screens are a good idea but I also think that it is really useless. I think that it is a good idea because who wouldn’t want a screen that is curved to show all of there friends. I also think that it is useless because I really don’t care about the way my screen is shaped on my phone because as long as I got a good phone and my screen is not scratched up I am fine. The curved screen does not really affect me at all. That is how I feel about the new curved screen.

I think that it impacts the world in two different ways. The first way is the people who want to look cool actually need the new curved screen to show how good they are. Also sometimes if you are part of a major business then they sometime require you to have the latest phone. The other way that it can impact the world is some people are very clumsy and them having a curved screen is an accident waiting to happen. That is how I feel the new curved screen will impact the world.
