Technology

Is technology making mankind lazy?

An important part of technology is the computers I don't think that technology is making mankind lazy because computers can be very useful in everyday if such as paying your bills online.

As evidence i think that techhnology is not lazy because that new vaccum that uyou can turn on and it just moves itself, i dont think that being lazy because what if it was a old man/woman who needed to vaccum there house but couldn't because they were old and couldn't do anything!


That's why I think technology doesnt make mankind lazy!

My weekend

I feel like I had a good weekend on Friday after school I did nothing on Saturaday I went to my great grandmom house and then me and my mom went to Ross and I got 2 cute jackets. Maybe if my mom got something she would have been happier. In addition me,my mom, and sister to the party store and toys rus because my sister is having and baby and we were looking for baby shower stuff and things for the baby. In fact on sunday me, my mom, and sister went to church and then later on around 3:00 we went to my aunt Kia's house because my cousin Damir turned 16 and he was having a party so that's were we went.

My Goals

I think that my goals this school year will be trying to pass all of my class so I can move on to the 9th grade. For instance I think

that if I study harder and review everything every night can improve my in all of my class and improve on everything that I need

to know. Futhermore I think that I will try harder this year then I did last year. Clearly I need to focus more and stop focusin on

everything that is going on around me.

That's all I have to say so peace and love for now !!!!
