thoreau's view of technology

He doesn't really like it. he apposes it, thinks it lays waste.

I do disagree with him. Technology, today, helps us with our daily lives in a very significant way.

Advantages to tech would be help in a lot of ways, also to communicate. Disadvantages would be that it pollutes a lot, it could be difficult and stressful at times.

Common tech i use everyday would be my phone, and computer. If we go down deeper, i use the toilet, shower, refridgerator, microwave, stove, and mainly lights thus electricity.

i honestly do not think i would survive a day without technology. haha

Civil Disobedience

I am not aware of most actions the government does do..... so i guess i would not like the fact that sometimes the government release certain subjects that are important, or on a need to know basis. i cant think of any ways to stop there banning but to ask them to stop it. I wouldn't go to jail or speak in front of a large group of people while my life is at danger, so no.... i guess i wouldn't use any of the ideas of martin luther or henry david.

English Binder Check

1. Yes according to what i have, and the date.

2. We've done many Vocabulary assignments mainly, and tests as well. This english class is different from other classes because it has a much faster pace and its more social than other classes. For example, we have many group projects that let us communicate with each other and work and learn with each other as well. There isn't much to compare between other classes as this one is pretty unique other than the fact that it is really fun.
