Oskar Schindler: Unsung Hero

During the holocaust many people died, but many others were saved. One brave man saved a majority of these Jewish prisoners and had one of the most influential story of holocaust. Schindler, a business man, wanted to have cheap labor via paychecks of pots and pan's. In order to keep his workers healthy, he bribed party members and soldiers. He later made a list of names, later known as Schindler's list, of Jews he would require for his new factory. This list saved more than 1,00 Jews from the Auschwitz camp and many others and made a armaments camp. Within a year they created more than one wagon full of ammo. after the war he was awarded many medals for his efforts and accomplishments. He died without many knowing or hearing his name.

Smartphone Watch For Kids. Yup.

Today in our world kids are getting all the latest and new gear, but soon a new device will jit stores. A new kids Smartwatch is being developed for kids to enjoy the ability to tell time and play games. This may become a new fad or even just a bad marketing ploy gone wrong. either way, I am sure this will cause many people to stop and turn their heads.

 This connects to our work I think very deeply. if you think about it, this could help revolutionize device use in school( if it's allowed in school that is) and help make more kid friendly apps. The downside to this though is that it could create a new chaos among our kids that we just aren't prepared for.

Personally, I think its very odd how it took begging and pleading to get new devices, but kids today get new electronics like they were old news.I find it a little disturbing that V-Tech is the manufacture of these products. this could mean it will be great for kids or just end up being worthless trash. either way it goes, I am sure that it will all interest us to see how this will end.

Super Bowl Finish

Yesterday the big game we have all been waiting for took place with mixed results. The sea hawks crushed any resistance by the broncos with 43 to 8 lead in the final quarter. Many people were sad and disappointed for this, but some were happy and even excited for their teams win. This will be one game to remember for a long time.

I believe this story really connects to what we are learning class because of difference of opinions and how we each view something. We see this in story's, books, movies, or just simple choices in life. If not that, the fact that everyone in the class, school, state, and the country will talk about this game. We all now share a common thread, this game.

My opinion is that the broncos lost horrifically to the hands the Seattle defense. It actually kind of surprised me how quickly and easily they were defeated by Seattle's superior defense. Then again this is sports so anything can happen.
