New Inventions Reflection: Samsung Note 3 & Gear Smart Watch

The Samsung Galaxy Gear costs around $300 alone without the Galaxy Note 3 which is the only phone that makes the gear work. Without the Galaxy Note 3 the gear is completely useless. The Galaxy Note 3 alone is $700 without a contract. The battery lasts for a little bit more than 24 hours. It can act as a hotspot for up to 8 devices. The front screen of the gear helps tell time and the current weather. Some apps, shows how far you've walked and can also make calls or even see and answer text messages. It also has a contacts list. It also has a media controller so you can control what you're listening to. It is also water resistant and has a visible camera to take pictures and see pictures in your gallery. The calling service is pretty decent for a small device. Overall it is worth getting.

Marshmallow & Spaghetti Tower Reflection

If I must say  my tower was one of the most stabled of them all. It even had a victory flag. The only thing I would change would be the height because the project said it had to be the most stabled and the highest.

Reflection Of Ages/Eras

To me I would say that the best invention today would be Smartphones because they help people do the stuff that they need to do everyday to get their things done daily. This has anything to do with their jobs chores or anything related that you can write in a calendar. For example iPhones make Americans seem like they cannot live without them because they're on them all day.

Reflection of Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster

The tragedy that happened when the Space Shuttle Challenger exploted could've been avoided if the group of engineers that designed the space shuttle had worked better on it and revised it before the launch. Challenger's service to America's space program ended in tragedy on Jan. 28, 1986. Just 73 seconds into the mission, a booster failure caused an explosion that resulted in the loss of seven astronauts, as well as the shuttle. It was later determined that two rubber O-rings, which had been designed to separate the sections of the rocket booster, had failed due to cold temperatures on the morning of the launch. If I had been the one that designed the Shuttle I would've designed it better so that the rocket boosters wouldn't be affected by temperature or outside causes. If I became an engineer I would make a better shuttle in memory of the old challenger space shuttle but this one wouldn't have any flaws or errors in it.
