Journal 9

For this assignment we were asked to find 10 things we consider to be great inventions. Here is what I have found...

Microwave: A college students best friend. Instant meals for on the go students and pretty much the only method of cooking allowed in dorm rooms.

TV: Obviously it wastes alot of time if someone gets stuck watching it for hours but it is also a good source of information. For weather and news cross country or even cross world it is relayed through television.

In car stereo: I love being able to listen to music and the radio on long road trips. I don't want to try and imagine cars without the radio... awkward quiet.

The Stove: I love cooking and a stove is where I do most of it. I'm also a huge fan of cupcakes :-) which are made in the stove

Vehicles: Seriously were would be all be with out a car. It has made traveling so much easier and less stressful having to rely on trains or horses.

ELECTRICITY! and lamps: Being able to flip a switch when you walk into a room and turn it from night to day. Or not have to walk around in the dark when you wake up in the middle of the night looking for water or while heading to the bathroom.

Bike: I think it is an awesome alternative form of transportation and exercise.

Toilet: Indoor plumbing THAAAANK YOOOU! So much better then having to go outside or a portapotty or an outhouse... really one of the best inventions if I say so myself.

Gaming Systems: I think this is a great invention because it has allowed individuals to expand there creativity. By playing or creating the games its lets the person get away from the real world and relax.

Fans: I like this invention because it allows a room full of stale hot air to be refreshed. Also when a person come

We were also asked to find 10 things (besides a person) we could not live without.

A Blender: I love smoothies and milkshakes having one of these handy appliances around keeps me healthier and happy :-)

Fridge: who doesn't love leftovers? having a fridge and freezer lets me keep food longer and fresher then old times were you had to eat everything right away.

Internet, Laptop: I don't know what I would do without these things. Being able to stay connected to family and friends through email or IM. Get news or research quicker then waiting for it to come on TV.

Cellphone: Being able to call anyone anywhere. genius. I don't have to wait to be home to get a message or call being able to get a hold of people or have them get a hold of me is comforting. Also having the Internet and email on a phone lets you stay even more connected.

DVD player: Just movies in general. I love movies and having CD's instead of bulky VHS makes traveling with them easier.

Shower: Being clean. Enough said.

Shoes: LOVE EM! also they protect our feet so whats not to like. Specially when they are cute shoes.

Washer/ Dryer: even though I hate doing laundry having these two machines to do it makes it so much easier then having to hand wash everything you have.

Coffee Maker: YUM coffee. Delicious and you can heat water with it for tea or other things that need hot water.
