Pheasants Forever

On Saturday night, I went to the Carrollton for the Pheasants Forever convention. It was really fun. It was my first time going to Pheasants Forever. I went with my dad, my neighbor, and his son, who's my friend. We had good food and got to watch a live auction. There were also raffles to enter. I could have won a gun , but I didn't. There was also a general raffle were everyone would buy tickets and put them into the bin. They would just draw a name and give some general stuff away. I didn't win anything. There was a poker game after. The adults drank a lot of beer. I had a good time.

Technology I Couldn't Live Without

The one part of the technology world that I could not live without would be internet. Without the internet, we would not be have the ability to search for anything fast at all. We would be in the stone ages, using books such as encyclopedias, dictionaries, and thesauruses. The internet has brought us wireless internet, internet to gaming devices like XBox 360's, and internet through smart phones. One invention has brought about many other amazing advancements in technology. The internet has brought us the ability to have other technology advancements and moneymakers like Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. The internet idea was thought up in the year 1961 and the project was finally, fully completed in the year 1969. Not one single person created the internet. Many great technological minds came together to create the part of technology that I can not, and would not, be able to live without. The only way I have the ability to be typing on this website, is by the internet. Most schools are just recently turning to having homework, note taking, and school projects on and through sites that are on the internet. We all use the internet once or more a week for sure, and most of us use it that same amount in a day. This class I am taking is dependent on the internet. I think that using the internet is a privilege, and it is a privilege that should not be taken for granted.
