John: Did you take some sort of art class or something?

EXPERTS'S PREDICTIONS FOR THE FUTURE
Items 13 - 16
EXPERTS'S PREDICTIONS FOR THE FUTURE

Futurists are people whose job is to look ahead and help us plan for the future. Here are a few of their predictions for the next fifty years.

VIRTUAL REALITY: In a virtual-reality game, you, as a player experience an imaginary world and interact with the game characterers simulating that you are part of that world. Now imagine yourself into a virtual-reality school of the future, where you would be socializing and learning with virtual people. In order for this to be happen, a 3-D image, linked to your brain, will make you feel as if you are actually in the classroom interacting with your virtual teacher and classmates, literally from anywhere.

NANOTECHNOLOGY: It is the science of incredible small things. Exactly how big is a nano. Nano means one billionth of a meter. When something is nano size, it is extremely small and invisible to the human eye. With nanotechnology, we will have microscopic computarized nanorobots that can be part of anything-even appliances-household chores will be easier.

BRAIN TO COMPUTER COMMUNICATION: How about this for an amazing prediction. One day everyone and everything will be linked through wireless technology. Nanocomputers will be in your brain like a computer, will be receiving downloads and uploads. Do you want to learn a new language or how to dance tango? As soon as you think of these ideas, your brain will upload the new information. Then it will store it and you'll be learning whatever instantly.

Items 33 - 36
A WOMAN WHO CHANGED HISTORY.

Rosa Parks helped change laws in the United States. Because of her actions, everyone in the United States has equals rights. She was a black woman born in Alabama in 1913. At that time, there were laws segregating black and white people. Segregating means keeping them apart. Rosa Parks went to a school with all african-american students. Whites and blacks were forced to go to different schools. After she got her high school diploma, she helped her family earn money by working as a seamstress in a department store. Rosa Parks became famous when she was sitting on a bus and refused to give up her seat to a white man. There was a law in Alabama that said black people had to leave their seat on a bus if a white person wanted to sit down. She believed she had dignity and whites were not better than her because she was black.
Because of this incident, she was arrested for not giving up her seat. She still felt she did the right thing. After that, all african american boycotted the bus for over a year. So they started walking to work instead of taking the bus. They also held many peaceful protest. Martin Luther King Jr. also helped with the protest. A year later, the Suprem Court ruled that segregation was illegal. Now whites and blacks could go to the same schools. They didn't have to give up their seats on buses. They had the same rights as everyone else in the country. Rosa Parks is considered a hero today because she believed everyone should be treated equally. She was honored in 1996 by President Bill Clinton, who gave her the Presidential Medal of freedom, the highest honor that a citizen can receive.

SEVEN TIMES

There was once a king of Scotland whose name was Robert the Bruce. He needed to be both brave and wise because the times in which he lived were wild and rude. The kind of England was at war with him. Six times Bruce had led his brave little army against his foes and six times his men had been beaten. At last his army was scattered and he was force to hide in the woods into an isolated place among the mountains.
One rainy day, The Bruce laid on the ground with his horse. He was tired and unhappy. It seemed to him that there was no use for him to try to do anything else. As he laid there thinking, he saw an spider over his head getting ready to weave her web. He watched her as she toiled slowly and with great care. Six times she tried to throw her trial thread from one beam to another, and six times it fell short. "Poor thing", said The Bruce. "You too, know what it is to fail". But the spider did not lose hope with the sixth failure. With much care, she got ready for their seventh attempt. Bruce almost forgot his own troubles as he watched her swing herself out the slender line. Would she fail again? No! The thread was carried safely to the beam and fastened there.
I too, will try a seventh time! cried The Bruce. He arose and called his men together. He told them of his plans and sent them out with messages of cheer to his disheartened people. Soon there was an army of brave scotchmen around him. Another battle was fought and the King of England retreated to his own country. After that day, no one by the name of The Bruce would ever hurt an spider.

EL CADEJOS

The legend begins with a young man from the city of Cartago named Joaquín. He was what you might call a party animal. Joaquín liked to go overboard and drink a lot. He lived on a farm raising cows, goats and chickens.
Over the years, Joaquín's lifestyle would be the cause of much frustration for his father, who often begged to his son to settle down. He respected his parents, but he didn't obey some rules of the house. For months, Joaquín's fathers begged and pleaded with the wild boy to lead a saner life, but Joaquín continued to party day in and day out. Eventually, the man stopped being so nice to his son, leading to loud arguments with the boy about his lifestyle all of which seemed to fall on deaf ears.
One day Joaquín went out to drink, but that night was unusual. He went to every bar in the city, visiting several places and having a wild time doing so. For seven days, the boy drank and partied to excess. It was actually his last night out, when Joaquín returned to his family home. His father was beyond furious. As his son attempted to explain where he had been, the man simply stared at his son. The man yelled and curse at him for hours. Over time, the curses began to change the boy, turning him into a large black dog known as "El cadejos. The beast now wanders across the country at night, following partiers who have had a bit too much to drink and scaring them back onto the right path.
