Who I choose as the next president

Who I choose as the next president is Barack Obama because he is trying to change how people pay for there health care and how he is going to change gun violence. John McCain on the other hand is trying to not change gun violence but he is trying to give everyone universal health care.
A reason why I chose Barack over McCain is because Barack is trying to make everyone have affordable health care or he will pay for it out of his own money. McCain is trying to give everyone $5,000 refundable tax credit.
Another reason I chose Obama over McCain is because Obama is trying to put restrictions on some guns and run back round checks on gun owners. McCain is trying to put a ban only on several types of assault weapon. He want to put people in jail for committing a crime but he is not trying to put a end to gun violence.

Nhd topic selection

I choose Sir Francis Drake for my NHD topic because I want to learn how Sir Francis Drake defeated the Spanish and how he traveled all across the world. This person is important to history because he helped the English to defeat the Spanish Armada. For this week's research, I found an article at http://library.thinkquest.org/J002678F/sir_francis_drake.htm and http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/sir_francis_drake.htm.'

How Technology has changed my life

I believe that tecnology is a big part of everyones live including me because it's looking as if the people is turning the whole society into a place of tecnology. I think it will be harder for me if I didn't know about tecnology because alot of my homework, and classwork is based on using a computer or something dealing with tecnology. If it wasn't for me being so determined to learn about the computer world I might not know half the things that goes on around. Now that i'm more experienced at working with computer I find alot of things that I do now to not be so much as a challenge because of tecnology. I am not yet experienced to teach people how to use computers but I know how to fix computers.
