High Tech Is HOT

"Thousands of toy makers gathered in

New York City

in February, to show their newest, hottest toys at the Annual International Toy fair."   Ever since Sony hit it big with AIBO, The robot Dog, in 2002, toy makers have been working on new toys {or robots.} As part of its Fur line, Hasbro introduced Butterscotch, an electronic pony, (299.00, out in the fall). This life size miniature pony makes happy sounds when her hair is brushed, and responds to noises around her. She can even turn her head to find her owner. It’s so cool that people are inventing cool stuff. I wish one day I could in vent something that good.

     Wow! A Dog, that that’s a robot? I guess inventors have been busy lately. I think that on of my best friends, Maria would love the Pony, because she loves horses. I think that it is so wonderful that people are inventing stuff that will help the future of many people or animals... I know it is very good that they are inventing things that help people with their "disabilities". For example: the wheelchair, the wheelchair...

   One of the best inventions would have to be the FLY pen top pen. It is so amazing how the pen works. If you write a date it reminds you that the date you wrote is today, the same for if you write the time. Oh and if you draw a piano you can actually play it! And if you need help with division, it can actually tell you how to do a division problem. Oh how I wish I had that pen. My parents could buy it for me, but they've been to busy buying me clothes. I just wonder how they got the idea of how to do the pen. And how they assemble the pieces?

   It takes a lot of time and motivation to invent something. Believe me, I've tried so many times to invent something but it never comes out well. I just like it so much when people in create new things.

·          Would you ever in vent anything, explain?

·          What is or has been your favorite invention?

My favourite invention is the World Wide Web by Tim Berners-Lee who brought it to wide use in 1989.

First let me commend you on your post Graciela! I love that you are including pictures and links in your post so the readers can see all of those amazing inventions.
If I could pick one of the inventions mentioned in the article it would have to be Nerf Showtime Hoops. Then I could listen to music from my iPod (another great invention) while playing basketball (thank you James Nasmith for inventing the game).

Miss Roper, are there any other inventions you like, why?

[graciela]

Bronwyn, I am also very glad somebody invented the worldwide web. I just wonder how ling it took them to invent it. do you know????

[Bronwyn G]

It took Tim Berners-Lee about 3 years to invent the world wide web: from 1989 to 1992.

Graciela,
I love computers and ANY other form of technology. Just like Bronwyn and you, I am glad that worldwide web was invented. I can’t imagine a day in which I do not use a computer or some type of technology (iPod, Pocket PC or even a cell phone). Those inventions have made communication, work and life much easier. Thank goodness we do not have to chisel words on a stone tablet when we want to write. I don’t think I would love writing today if that were the case or reading for that matter. Can you imagine how heavy a Harry Potter book would be if it were chiseled into stone?
