List three pros about the 3D guitar. 1) 3D guitars can add new sound that can be original and change the way of music. 2) You can pick out what kind of sound you want to have on your guitar, print it, and it will be delivered to you by mail. 3) Guitars could look more stylish and maybe even get more people into playing the guitar and advancing music. List three cons about the 3D guitar. 1) The equipment for 3D printing could cost more than just simply making the guitar, which would lead to the sale price of the guitar to go up. 2) The sound could be less reliable and have some malfunctions here or there. 3) The 3D system could continuously try to advance the guitar, which would mean companies that were used to supplying normal guitars would have to change what they are doing.

Will this change the future of the guitar? Why or Why Not? I believe this will change the future of the guitar just because it is so appealing and everyone will want to have one. Plus, with our technology getting better and better, the guitar will constantly be tested and tweaked for improvements because who doesn't want a 3D guitar that has so many unique sounds.

List three cons about this idea: 1) Some waiters/waitresses will not be able to do the job as efficiently because they are not able to make the transition to doing all their work on the iPad. 2) It could take the whole customer service aspect from the workers which is what some waiters/waitresses really enjoy. 3) Some of the employees may be distracted because they have an iPad at work most of the time which enables them to goof off and do other things besides work. List one pro from another person: You can order whenever you want.  List one con from another person: Some people may get laid off.

How do you think this technology will change food service? I think technology will both advance and hurt the food service because technology will make the food service be more efficient, but it will also be more high maintenance and some people may lose their job or maybe won't even want to have the job anymore.

List three pros about discovering new planets similar to earth: 1) You can continue to see if there really is other civilization besides Earth. 2) If we find out that there is life on other planets it will lead into even deeper research. 3) We can start to see if we can somehow start a new population on an even bigger planet. List three cons about discovering new planets similar to earth: 1) We can't send out space orbitals yet, so we are far from knowing all the details. 2) It could lead people to false hope that there really is life besides on the planet Earth. 3) It's very risky to start to plan us ever starting a new civilization to another planet. List one pro from another person: If there was ever a worse case scenario, we would somehow have a back-up plan. (Sort of.) List one con from another person: They might be inhabitable for the human race so there's no point in researching about it. Evaluate  Choose one movie/link from above that you want to write about. Which one did you choose? I would want to write about the roller coaster story. How will this technology impact our society and/or environment? This technology would impact our society by making roller coasters more scenic for people which could lead to other amusements to continue to improve on their coasters. This would impact our environment by making amusement parks a lot more known even in the media which could lead to a lot more people and money. Are you for the new technology or against it? Explain why? (2-3 sentences) I'm for the new technology because not only do I love the thrill of roller coasters, but I love to just go to amusement parks in general. My favorite amusement parks are always the ones that have the most exciting roller coasters so I can remember them for a long time. I would also love to feel what zero gravity feels like.
