=  =  **__   Life in 2060   __** I let out an abnormally long yawn as I get up from bed and turn of my internal brain alarm clock. After I take a long stretch I head to the bathroom to freshen up. Once there I begin listing my commands. “Clean teeth, wash face, whiten teeth.” I shout aloud. “Please open your mouth to begin procedure sir.” asks the bathroom computer. Once I open my mouth a laser beams out from the sink mirror into my mouth. After a quick tingling sensation the laser disappears, leaving my teeth clean and white as ever. I then lower my face into the sink. Water then jets out from the sink onto my face. Once that’s over a robot hand comes out of the wall with a towel and dries my face. Now refreshed, I walk into my closet and step onto the changing pad. “I want clothes for a relaxing day in town.” I command. Immediately, a special camera projects clothes onto me. Then the fake projections materialize into real clothes. After a quick breakfast pill that’s full of breakfast nutrients, I leave my house and enter my high speed­ 2060 Dodge Viper. Once I’ve pulled out of my driveway, I decide to head to town. “Car, take me to the nearest city.” I say loudly. Instantly the car begins to drive its self to the city. When the car gets to the city, a voice echoes around the car. “What is your next destination sir?” “Take me to the city recreation center.” I say. On the way to the Rec. center I couldn’t help but notice the extremely tall sky scrapers everywhere, and the many ground and air roads that wind throughout the city. A few of the activities at the center are high speed cycling, simulation scuba diving or sky diving. After a day of relaxing, I come back home and set my internal brain alarm clock to 7:00 to start the day over in the morning.

Assignment #5__**

Dear Journal, As the days drag on, our spirits are beginning to drop rapidly. The ice is begging to hug our ship tighter. I’m not sure how much more it can take. Captain Shackleton has been trying to keep us entertained to pass the time, but for some of us it’s not working to well. Our food levels are beginning to drop to dangerous levels. We have already had to kill a few dogs for meat. Hopefully the next day will bring more hope and joy than today did.

Assignment #2:

It is important for individuals to have freedom of speech and thought because those are two things that characterize one person from next. Having freedom of speech allows us to let people know what is on our mind. Having freedom of thought allows us to decide and act on ideas or opinions we think of. If we lost that freedom it would take away the uniqueness from people. Every person would act and decide equally. In my opinoin it is very important to have freedom of speech and thought.
