As a matter of fact, the question whether modern technology has made our lives complex is a controversial one. Different individuals can hold various opinions due to their distinct backgrounds. In some areas, some people think that modern technology has made our lives complex, whereas in other fields, others believe that modern technology has made our lives simple and convenient. However, I give my vote to the latter opinion. Nowadays, with modern technology such as cars, it is quite common to

at the Mai Kolachi – Boat basin intersection, a man came running on to the road and on seeing my car approaching him, stopped, trying to go back. I barely had a couple of seconds to react. It was too late to hit the brakes so I turned the steering wheel to a side.

should remember their manners such as no over speaking. Vocal tone is important in a group. The volume is as important as the tone. It is not necessary to yell in a small room or whisper in a large room. There will be those who enjoy taking the wheel but everyone should be heard, especially in a smaller group. Conflicts or disagreements should be resolved immediately. Although conflict is common in a diverse group of individuals, the resolution could make the difference between a positive or

extensively both in manufacturing and training. Manufacturers test bikes and components in order to reduce drag. One trend in recent years that I find counter intuitive is wider wheels. Newer rims sometimes have a cross section similar to an airfoil, wide in the front and tapering towards the back, or inside of the wheel. They have also added dimples similar to golf ball dimples. In general, most tube cross sections are now being stretched out to an airfoil like shape. Each little thing does not

the wheel size that I would use. After a bit of research, I came to the conclusion that using large back wheels and small front wheels would be most effective. I got this idea from the unique looking drag racing cars that have small front wheels and large back wheels. The reason for this is because during acceleration, the large wheels at the back can take advantage of the weight transfer during acceleration. The wheels at the front were made small due to aerodynamics. Since the small wheels at the

ENGL 1301 Yochim 21 September 2014 How to Drive a Standard Most cars sold today have an automatic transmission, which means that the car shifts gears automatically. Most people over the age of 16 know how to drive automatics, but the real challenge comes when those people are tasked with driving a standard, or a car that doesn’t shift gears on its own.
