Japan Will Have a Space Elevator by 2050!

     Japan has recently announced that they will have a space elevator by 2050. This amazing elevator will shuttle passengers 36,000 kilometers above the Earth!  It will be able to carry 30 people and it will travel at 200 kilometers per hour. The company that will be making this possible is Obayashi Corp. They are still calculating the amount of money that will be used to make this possible, because obviously they can’t put a price on the construction yet. I truly think this is amazing! It’s a dream that is definitely possible and will come true. Imagine being able to see space, the stars, and other planets? That would be truly magnificent. This magical elevator is thirty eight years away. I think I should start saving money now because it is something that I beyond doubt want to be alive for. If the Japanese are able to pull this off it will definitely be a huge breakthrough in technology. It can open doors to other great possibilities. So far, the future has great new things that are waiting for us. Hopefully we all get to witness all these great things in our lifetime because the glimpse of it looks pretty grand.

The evolution of computers

     Computers have tremendously evolved throughout the years. The most obvious way they evolved is in size. A computer used to take up a whole room, now it barely takes up any space at all, in fact its portable. The trend that has started recently is touch screen. In the past the computers barely even had a mouse. The computers of today are touch screen and voice and some voice commanded. In the article, "Computers: From 1939 to 2010” it shows the great evolution of our computers. Now we have computers with flat screens, with big screens and small screens. We also have laptops that come in all sizes. You can twist the screens in other laptops. The possibilities are endless really.   
    I honestly think that the computer will keep on evolving. They’re recently coming out with voice command computers. In the future the computers will be 100% voice commanded. Maybe they will even be able to make a computer that will be able to read your mind and body cues and be able to know what you want. When it comes to the technology of tomorrow anything is possible. I don’t doubt that they will be able to make a computer that can be integrated into your body.
