...There have been many complaints from parents about their children buzzing around on the internet and in some cases on the news. Many people turn to screen time and social media as the cause of the problem. As a teenager, it is easy to say that screen time and social media definitely affects our behaviour around people and towards ourselves. It affects children’s brains in a negative way leading to narcissism, laziness and antisocialness. All these factors have been proven through scientific research across the world. You’ll rethink the amount of online time you restrict your children to once you read about its harmful effects. Today we are living in what you call the “me, me, me” generation meaning that people of this millennial are all about themselves. According to Joel Stein at Time Magazine, compared to 1982, “58% more college students scored higher on a narcissism scale in 2009...” only five years after facebook was founded and three years after the first iPhone was made. As stated on the scientific blog, ‘Psychology today,’ Doctor Lisa Firestone says studies over the years that make...

...Dušan Lučić Professor Norris Eppes English 4 3 April 2018 Time Capsule The Twenty First Century is a period of many technological and social revolutions. Many things have changed over the course of this time and dividing three things to put in a time capsule for future generations is hard to do. In my opinion, the things I would divide for the time capsule is the game Nba 2k11, Apple earphones, and the jersey of LeBron James. The first thing I chose to store for the future is the basketball game Nba 2k11. Basketball games have remained one of the most popular games on the globe for many years. It’s production has gravely improved from game to game; however, one game remains the cornerstone in basketball game history as it was quite revolutionary....

...Once planning my time tracker, I used my average schedule from the past few weeks. I knew I spent a lot of time on homework and usually went to see my friends on Thursday. It has been hard to get into a routine here and I believe with this assignment I have more clarity on getting into a rhythm. It also showed me that I need to plan my weeks out for productive week. I put about a good twenty minutes into planning my week out. I would need to change things as new events would come up. For the most part, I took my schedule from previous weeks and plan it from that. When I compared my actual time tracker from my anticipated time tracker, I found my anticipated time tracker to be more productive. For instance, on Thursday I was going to have a quick get together with a friend that I haven’t seen in a long time. I planned for only two hours, thinking that we would grab a coffee and chat for a bit. After the day, I realized that was too short of a time slot for a long-time friend...

...Kairos Moments Everything we do is marked by the steady march of time. Seconds lead to minutes to hours to days to weeks to years to decades to centuries. The problem for all of us is that the clock is always running the wrong way, and we simply cannot stop its precipitous crawl toward the next tick. We lose moments to the past, out of our reach, never to be regained. Where did all the years go? The kids have grown and gone. We're muddling along in a career, making a living, just existing out of habit more than anything. Did I miss out on my chance to make a difference? The Greek language has a couple of words that mean "time." The first is most familiar—chronos . It means the chronology of days, governed by the carefully calculated earths' sweep around the sun. God himself ordained this measurement of days on the fourth day of Creation, spinning the heavenly lights "for seasons, and for days and years."...

...Effect of a Paper Plane’s different masses on its time on flight The following experiment (underneath) is to do with a paper plane and its mass and time of flight. Here is a chance to experiment with different masses of a paper plane to observe how it affects it’s time of flight. Research Question: How does the mass (g) of a paper plane affect the time (seconds) of its flight? Hypothesis: It is expected that, the more mass on the paper plane’s wings, the time of flight will decrease. This is because more mass; the faster gravity will pull it down. *Independent variable: Number of paperclips (amount of mass in grams) Dependent variable: The time of flight –measured in seconds. X Controlled variables: Throw it with the same force in each throw, and same angle of the throw. Materials: Stop watch 3 pieces of A4 paper to make paper planes 1 balance 12 paperclips Method: Make 3 ordinary paper planes from A4 sheet of paper Find someone who is willing to throw the paper plane for all the trials in the experiment. Take the paper plane and weigh it using the balance (weighing scale), to note down its mass. Find an open space for the plane to fly freely and take your planes there. Throw 1 paper plane from shoulder level and start the stop watch at the same time of the throw. Stop the stop watch the moment when the plane touches the ground. Record your data and repeat steps 4-6 four more times. For the second trial, add 1 paperclip to each wing...

...Daylight savings time was first conceived by Benjamin Franklin in 1784 when he was in Paris. Evidently, Ben had a lot of “time” to kill in Paris, but his idea went nowhere. The idea of “Daylight Savings” is essentially moving clocks one hour (or more or less) ahead- essentially “moving an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening. The first serious effort to save daylight occurred in Britain. London builder William Willett wrote an essay entitled “Waste of Daylight” in 1907- when he noticed during an early morning ride that the blinds on houses were closed-even though the sun was fully risen. Evidently, this waste of time by citizens was more than he could bear. He wrote: “Everyone appreciates the long light in evenings - everyone laments...

...Daylight saving time was first proposed in 1895, but most countries have introduced it in the 1970s. From the very beginning, the idea has had its proponents and opponents. Many people claim that having to adjust clocks twice a year is not worthwhile, others, however, consider it an indispensable element of our lives. Daylight saving time may often prove beneficial. First of all, setting the clocks forward in spring causes evenings to be longer, as it provides us with an additional daylight hour. When the night falls later, people feel encouraged to go out more often and, consequently, to spend more money. Needless to say, a longer evening brings about the increase in consumption, which boosts the economy. In addition to that, time shifting...

...Survival Guide Let’s Get Started On the first day of classes with Axia College, it is important to login and download the course materials and syllabus. I have found that by making folders under My Documents labeled first with the course name, and then inside have folders labeled each week 1-9 where I save the relevant materials for the weeks work. After downloading the files to the appropriate files, it is best to break up the syllabus. I like to copy and paste each week of the syllabus to a word document filed again under the corresponding week. This makes it easy to access what is needed for the week. It is also important to download the course calendar to keep a closer watch on when assignments are due. By looking at the course calendar at the beginning of each week you will be able to manage your assignments accordingly. After reading through the course syllabus and downloading course materials the next step is to check the main forum.
