3D Printed Car

Do you think the use of 3D printing can help car designers? Why or why not?
No, I don't think it helped car designers at all. In fact, I think it's kind of a waste of time. If we already have a method of building cars that is fast, and works perfectly then there's no need to try and make it more technical, especially if i's going to take longer than the previous method.

Do you think that cars would ever be manufactured this way? Explain your reasoning.
I think that if we ever find a way to manufacture these types of cars faster and more efficient then maybe people would manufacture them this way, but if not then most car producers will probably stick to the old way and continue making the cars in a way suitable for everybody.

What would you create with a 3D printer? It could be a car, part of a car or any other item. Discuss.
I would create a couch with a 3D printer. It sounds weird, but I think it would be cool to have a couch in any style, color or print you wanted it. Also, just the fact of being able to sit on something you designed with a computer would be pretty cool.

If you were going to create your own car, which body style would you use (consider the body styles you explored in a previous assignment)? Explain why.
I would probably create a convertible style car. Ever since "High School Musical", I've always wanted a pink convertible and I don't like the way any other styles look, so if I could design my own my lifelong dream would come true.

Situation #2   Pros: It would be easier for people to vote and maybe more wold participate. It would also be easier to count/calculate the votes. It would eliminate the fear of votes being counted incorrectly. Cons: May enable hackers to tamper with votes. System could glitch, and all information would be lost. People might not as much trust in a computer as they would a real person. Situation #3 Pros: It would be easy for parents to check their kids attendance and grades. Easy way to store information. No worries about ditching school. Cons: Website could be tampered with Information could be typed/submitted incorrectly People without internet access could have a difficult time seeing grades. Situation #5 Pros: Eliminate the need for homeschooling. Studying would be much easier and more efficient. Eliminate the costs of textbooks. Cons: People without internet access couldn't learn. It would be harder for people with verbal learning abili

Camera Techniques

Within the five videos I have just watched, I learned many new camera techniques such as Point of View and Framing. With the first video I learned about the Rule of Thirds. I found this video so interesting and I could not get over how much better the photo looked when he used the rule. The second video talked about Filling the Frame, which is basically taking a more close up photo and more focused on one thing. I thought that this video was very helpful because I always tend to take photos from far away, but now I know better. The next video was all about Framing. This video was probably my favorite, since all the end photos look so good and it's such a simple technique to use. Another thing I learned about today was Point of View. The part I liked best about this video was how cool and unique each of the photos were, I would never think to turn the camera upside down and take a photo of a building, but maybe now I'll reconsider. The last video I watched was all about Leveling

The History of the Automobile

Carl Benz Cars have been around for about 120 years. A patent is a government authority or license confirming a right to title for a set period, especially to the sole right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention.  Carl Benz used patentmotocar to describe the car. His wife drove his invention, this created the invention of the first petral station. This system helped solve the problem of steering the two front wheels at the same time. The merge created the name "Mercedes Benz" Benz got to see his dream come true. Henry Ford and the Model T The assembly line sped up manufacturing practices by making 10 cars in the time it took other companies 1 by hand. The model T's were introduced 1909 and sold for $950. Henry Ford reduced the work day from 9 hours to 8 hours so he could have people working around the clock, but in 3 shifts. The model T had 20 horsepower. Three of the body styles that were manufactured were 2 door, 4 door and c
