Iunbeatable

My favorite app is call Bloons Tower Defense™. This app is my favorite because it is a really good time passer when you are bored. The object of the game is to build your monkey army to stop bloons from reaching the end of the trail. You place monkeys strategically on the map to stop them.

On of the worst apps I have ever heard of is Angry Birds. I dislike it because there is no sense in throwing angry birds at building to kill the targets. To me this game is overrated.

If I had to create an app I would have to create one that is unbeatable. I would make it where no one can beat so it would gain a lot of popularity and people will get self-confident that they can beat it and then download it. What this app will do is you will have to run across this platform and dodge objects coming at you. I would name this app Iunbeatable.

Ipods/Ipads

I believe that the Ipads would be a good idea but the Ipods wouldn't. I decided this because Ipods screens are very small and it is so hard to read anything. The Ipad has a bigger screen and it has a new feature where you can download books and read them right off of it. That would be a great idea for the classroom and a quicker way to get books out and to the page we need to be on. But on the contrary there would be temptations of getting on sites or downloading apps that are not school appropriate. Plus if you start having students that start to sync their Ipads/Ipods to their computer then you have no control on what apps and music they put on there. I don't think they would stay focused either. We have students that always play games when they aren't supposed to and on these devices it would continue. Just think how tempting it would be if you were reading a book that was boring and just a few taps on the screen you could be in Angry Birds or some other "hit" game. I think it is a gamble because you don't know what will happen until you try it.

Money can't buy everything...but neither can no money!!!!!!!!!!!

The president makes around 400,000 dollars a year. When I learned this it amazed me. Surely the leader of our country isn't getting paid this much. But in the NFL we have a running back that plays for the Vikings  that makes 17,000,000 dollars. Wow check out the difference in those zeros. I really think that it is kind of messed up that a NFL player is making way more than the president. If they won't lower how much the NFL players are getting paid at least raise the presidents payroll.

Drug Wars in Mexico

As you may of heard there is a war going on in Mexico. But not just any war over peace it's a war over drugs. The Mexican president, Felipe Calderon has declared war on the cartels for their terrorist like attempts because 28,000 have been killed since he was elected. Los Negros, Gulf Cartel, and La Familia are just some of the few major drug cartels. La Familia has been blamed for some federal offenses and called a truce so they can exclude themselves from these accusations. They sent this truce through a letter.On the border there are drugs and weapons smuggled every day. The drugs move northward and the weapons move south for the cartels. I really dislike the way everything is going on in Mexico I would protect my house and move around so they couldn't get me.
