Are We Alone??


China is building the world's largest radio telescope to find out if we are the truly alone in the universe. Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope, FAST is almost complete. Started in 2011, China’s news agency should be completed in 2016. It will be able to detect radio signals and possibly signs of life on other planets. This 'dish' shaped telescope will be the size of 30 football pitches. FAST will allow scientist to discover if there is life on Earth like Kepler-452b when other radio telescopes couldn’t. The excitement is starting because now we will truly find out if we are alone.

Tesla- the car company of the future

Tesla is the latest and greatest electric car technology. Most other electric cars get about eighty miles without recharging. A Tesla model S gets about 270 miles without recharging! Tesla is by far the number one electric car company. Also, some new technology in cars is autopilot or self driving. In three months the Tesla will release auto driving software in their model S.

Many other car companies are focusing on self driving cars too. One problem the new self driving Teslas are having is that the car gets of at exits that the owner does not intend to! I think that Tesla is the futures next big car company. Cars have come so far in the past hundred years! to learn more about this new technology go to this website-http://news.yahoo.com/tech/ (Links to an external site.)



      

Back To The Future!

Is Back To The Future inspiring brands to make new cool items? Nike is making self tying shoes, with the push of a button your shoes could be tied. There are also self driving cars that look exactly like the ones from the movie! The doors even fly up when you open them! Gas is no longer needed because there are cars that run on reusable fuel. you feed the car the gas and it is stored in a box at the back of the car. Back To The Future is a movie that has inspired many people and has made people want to do things that seem impossible!

Back to the Future!

     The day October 21, 2015, is not just any normal day, But the time Back To The Future predicted there would be flying cars, hover boards, self-lacing shoes, new high-tech companies, like Pepsi Perfect, And Texaco. Hundreds of Back To The Future fans come to appreciate the 30 year Anniversary of the great movie of the 80’s. And October 21 isn’t just because of all the new high-tech gadgets, but the time where Michael J. Fox, AKA Marty McFly, went to the future where the gadgets were everywhere! And the reason Back To The Future is so popular, is that it was not like any other time-traveling movie.
The Future is now the present and tomorrow, the past.

"Back to the Future II" 2015 vs. 2015 reality

We have finally reached the date that Marty McFly in the movie "Back to the Future II" time- traveled to! During the movie, Marty McFly time-travels to October 21, 2015, into the future. I think that the movie was pretty close to what has been developed in 2015. The movie offers that 2015 has hover boards, video calls, flying cars, etc.

For the hover boards, we sort of have them. The ones we have now require a metal course to fly around. So unfortunately it isn't really used in the way that the movie used them. Video calls are very much used now as well, thanks to Facetime and Skype. I think that video calls are a very big achievement and that the movie guessed right that we would have them. Of course we still don't have flying cars yet, but we have something like it. We only have a few prototypes that are more like driving planes rather than flying cars, but that's pretty close. In "Back to the Future II" they have drones walking dogs and doing different jobs. Although drones aren't too great for walking dogs, we still do have them, which is pretty cool. Last but not least, the Cubs. The movie has it that the Cubs win the World Series. Although that is very unlikely, it is still possible.                    

I really think that this is so fascinating, how they were so close to what 2015 would be like. But of course everybody always thinks the future will be “flying cars and hover boards”. I was surprised to hear that we do have many of the things that they predicted for 2015. I thought that this was so awesome in the fact that we have finally reached “the future”.


The Hoverboard


The Hoverboard is not floating but it is close to because it is held up by only one wheel. Something cool about it is that you can go up to 12 miles on it before you need to charge it.  But now I am guessing that you want to know how to drive it. You drive it by slightly tilting it and to accelerate you lean. But if you want one you will need to have 10,000$. It looks very easy to ride but it is actually  very hard to ride. It is similar to snowboarding and surfing when riding. The top speed of the Hoverboard is up to 20 miles an hour. This is just me but recommend you wear a helmet for safety reasons.
