- The Open Culture article is talking about the predictions of Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asimov. Most of their predictions are revolved around the world of science. In the BBC article they talked about some of the predictions in the day to day life. Some of the predictions are Mobile phones and pre-prepared meals. In the mental floss article they talk about things such as roofed cities and undersea ships.
- I think that the open culture article was more of a wish list but the BBC and the Mental Floss articles are more what will happen.
- Some predictions that came true are the flying machine, pre-prepared food, mobile phones, and Tanks.
- In a lot of these lists, most of the predictions are revolved around space travel, while some predictions that are true revolve around day to day life.
- For me, I think within the next 100 years humans will have been to Mars and started creating a civilization. I also think that the self driving car will become a more reliable and realistic thing. I also believe that virtual reality will become a more common thing in the day to day life. Personally I believe that money will also become almost useless.
- I think that humans have some control over the future. However, Humans will only have control if the choose too. People can dream a great idea, but it will always be a dream until reality takes it. Institutions and government will have some control on what can and will be invented.

How Do You Analyze a Political Cartoon
Something that I already new about trying to analyzing political cartoons was that it is best to look and analyze the symbols and Irony within the Cartoon. I learned that some artists tend to over tell or exaggerate certain points in the Cartoon, and also that some will also use labeling in their work. Going forward I will start to pay more attention to the words in the work along with keeping an I out for anything that might be over told. When I am analyzing cartoon I will most likely use the guide on the Library of Congress website.

Eddie Aikau - The Legend Of
I believe that they called this documentary "Hawaiian, The Legend of Eddie Aikau" because filmmakers wanted to show that Eddie was a native Hawaiian and that no one knows what happen to him. The angle was that Eddie Aikau not only a important piece of the surfing culture but also the Hawaiian culture as a whole and the fact that he spent so much time and effort devoting his life to the Hawaiian surfing culture and Hawaii itself makes his story on essential for building appreciation and understanding or Hawaiian culture. Since ESPN made the documentary we can understand that it was more focused on the surfing and his growth in the sport rather than Eddie's personal life. If this documentary was made by PBS or The History Channel, they would have focused more on his personal life rather than his surfing.
Subject - Theodore Roosevelt
Focus - It would Focus on his accomplishes as an American President.
Angle - The angle for the film would be that Theodore Roosevelt used his experience leading men in the Spanish-American war to help him lead America to a better place by his strong policies while in office.

While my group was doing this, I was tasked to observe them. I was supposed to write down what each person did while researching, such as words they searched and what it lead them too.
