Technology

               In this new highly industrialized generation knows what technology is. We now use this more frequently as entertainment, use it as our comfort zone and most essentially use it for researching.
                      
                                                         

                     
                  Actually, I am thankful because I was born in this kind of generation. I experience everything that technology offers. Like using gadgets, computers, or everything in technology. I also thanked my beloved parents who have given me everything that I could've imagined.
                           
                                                                 

                   Technology is defined as the collection of techniques, skills, methods, and processes used in the production of goods or services or in the accomplishments of objectives, such as scientific investigation.

The Airplane

             
                    An airplane or aeroplane (informally plane) is a powered, fixed-wing aircraft that is propelled forward by thrust from a jet engine or propeller. Airplanes come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and wing configurations. The broad spectrum of uses for airplanes includes recreation, transportation of goods and people, military, and research. Commercial aviation is a massive industry involving the flying of tens of thousands of passengers daily on airliners. Most airplanes are flown by a pilot on board the aircraft, but some are designed to be remotely or computer-controlled.

                                                    

Who invented the first successful airplane?

 

The Wright brothers, Orville (August 19, 1871 – January 30, 1948) and Wilbur (April 16, 1867 – May 30, 1912), were two American brothers, inventors, and aviation pioneers who are credited with inventing and building the world's first successful airplane and making the first controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight, on December 17, 1903 four miles south of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. In 1904-1905 the brothers developed their flying machine into the first practical fixed-wing aircraft. Although not the first to build and fly experimental aircraft, the Wright brothers were the first to invent aircraft controls that made fixed-wing powered flight possible.

                      The Wright brothers were two of seven children born to Milton Wright (1828–1917), of English and Dutch ancestry, and Susan Catherine Koerner (1831–1889), of German and Swiss ancestry. Wilbur was born near Millville, Indiana, in 1867; Orville in Dayton, Ohio, in 1871. The brothers never married. The other Wright siblings were Reuchlin (1861–1920), Lorin (1862–1939), Katharine (1874–1929), and twins Otis and Ida (born 1870, died in infancy). In elementary school, Orville was given to mischief and was once expelled.The direct paternal ancestry goes back to a Samuel Wright (b. 1606 in Essex, England) who sailed to America and settled in Massachusetts in 1636.

                        Both brothers attended high school, but did not receive diplomas. The family's abrupt move in 1884 from Richmond, Indiana to Dayton, Ohio, where the family had lived during the 1870s, prevented Wilbur from receiving his diploma after finishing four years of high school. The diploma was awarded to Wilbur on April 16, 1994, his 127th birthday.

When was their first flight?

                                               

                         On December 17, 1903, Orville Wright piloted the first powered airplane 20 feet above a wind-swept beach in North Carolina. The flight lasted 12 seconds and covered 120 feet. Three more flights were made that day with Orville's brother Wilbur piloting the record flight lasting 59 seconds over a distance of 852 feet.

Science

                      Today, January 22, 2016 our ICT teacher assigned us to blog or share our thoughts all about Science. Actually, I am a bit nervous at first because this is my first time to share my thoughts publicly in a social networking website, however, I am happy because Science is one of my favorite subject.

                     Well, we all know what Science is because we have encountered this since we went to school in our early years and in fact we have experience this most of the time. What I know about Science is that this explains everything that we have encountered in our everyday life. The questions  "Why the world was made?" and "Why are there stars?" are questions that can be answered by science.

                  
                                      There are many branches of science and I don't want to further elaborate these branches because we know that there are too many of them, but I chose Astronomy to further discuss with because I like exploring the the universe and it's celestial objects.
                                   
                                       Astronomy is the study of celestial objects such as the stars, galaxies, planets,moons, asteroids, comets and nebulae. It is also known as one of the oldest sciences. It comes from the Greek words "astron" means "stars" and "nomos" means "law" or "culture", ( law of the stars).
                    

            

                                                   
                                   
                                        In early times, astronomy only comprised the observation and predictions of the motions of objects visible to the naked eye. In some locations, early cultures assembled massive artifacts that possibly had some astronomical purpose. In addition to their ceremonial uses, these observatories could be employed to determine the seasons, an important factor in knowing when to plant crops, as well as in understanding the length of the year.

                                                          

                                      

                                           

                                            During the Renaissance, Nicolaus Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model of the solar system. His work was defended, expanded upon, and corrected by Galileo Galilei and Johannes Kepler. Galileo used telescopes to enhance his observations. Kepler was the first to devise a system that described correctly the details of the motion of the planets with the Sun at the center. However, Kepler did not succeed in formulating a theory behind the laws he wrote down. It was left to Newton's invention of celestial dynamics and his law of gravitation to finally explain the motions of the planets. Newton also developed the reflecting telescope.

                                Currently now, there are many amateurs who constantly study the skies using their advance technologies or telescopes as their passing time or hobby. Their are also discoveries by astronomers like the NASA's Kepler which is the first near-Earth-size planet.
