Apparently This Matters: Virtual soda drinking

Soda Drinker Pro lets gamers virtually walk through whatever this is and pretend to enjoy soda. Outstanding.                                                                       Jarrett Bellini had a Diet Coke problem in 2014. For instance, he would come home from a jog, tired and dehydrated having just spent a whole 20 minutes mildly exerting himself and then he take long, deep pulls from a two-liter bottle, fresh and cold right out of the fridge. Of course he miss Diet Coke, and he still get the urges.Thankfully, however, all that seems to be a thing of the past, because now there's a new virtual reality video game that lets you digitally enjoy the greatest pleasure in all the world.

Multimedia Blog 4/21

           The restaurant I chose was Maggiano's Little Italy. Its located at Hackensack NJ. The times that the restaurant are available are 11:30 am-10:00 pm. If you couldn't tell by the name they serve Italian food, and other food. Some dishes are chicken parmesan, baked ziti, and other delicious dishes.


            Personally my favorite dish from here is chicken parmensan. Its breaded chicken breasts baked with Provolone cheese and marinara sauce, served with spaghetti marinara. This is my favorite place to go out to eat because I enjoy the food and when u order your food you can get a second full meal for free to take home for your dinner tomorrow.
            If Maggiano's Little Italy closed down I would probably go to Bensi. I would pick Bensi because I can still have Italian food when I go there.

Wireless electricity? It's here

Katie Hall was shocked the second she saw it: a light-bulb glowing in the middle of a room with no wires attached.Looking back, it was a crude experiment, she remembers: a tiny room filled with gigantic copper refrigerator coils the kind you'd see if you cracked open the back of your freezer. She waled in and out between the coils and the bulb and still the bulb glowed.  Katie said:" Let's work in this. This is the future." Don't worry about getting zapped Dr. Hall assures that the magnetic fields used to transfer energy are "perfectly safe" in fact, they are the same kind of fields used in Wi-Fi routers. 



Wiki Research

How can a wiki be used in your current classes? (tip: Use the Internet, here is a good source). Be specific to your classes!
             It can help you find a lot of information about topics that you are learning in World History. It can also help students and teachers by collaborating the information. 

What are the benefits of using a wiki?
The benefits of a wiki is to help people find information about famous people or just some fun facts that you want to know.

If we created a wiki for this class you can search up different ways to do a tech article or something new that we could learn.

What experience do you have using or creating wikis?
I have no experience using a wiki because, Most of the$ teachers I had and have now told the classes I was in to never use wikis.
