“Newfangled Technology” Feedback: The mistaken “error” proved that Captain Hunter cannot always rely on his strong self-reliance and that even a skilled mathematician makes mistakes; and that it’s acceptable to rely on technology. There was no feedback given back to Captain Hunter to state its’ reasoning behind the bearing that was being reported to him. Also, there was no feedback given to challenge Captain Hunter’s navigations. If more feedback was given, it could have been sensed that navigation was off route.

In the project, we used Google Slides to create an interactive story about colonial exploration. Manav and I worked together to create a story about Marco, the captain of the Spanish caravel, "The Electra". We chose the ship to be a caravel since we learned that Prince Henry the Navigator designed them to travel long distances ("Caravel"). With two or three masts and a rounded bottom, caravels were fast, this made them the ideal ships to travel to the New World with ("Caravel"). In addition to this, we also learned about navigation tools such as the magnetic compass. The magnetic compass is used by navigators to determine the direction they're heading in ("Compass"). It was first used by the Venetians in 1274 and consists of a magnetic needle and a compass card ("Compass"). The magnetic needle always points to the North Pole, and by using the North Pole as a reference point, explorers were effortlessly able to determine the direction they are heading in

One thing that is prevalent to the reader is the idea that the cosmic perspective is more than seeing the universe.

The art of quoting and summarizing an argument is one of the main skills to acquire when it comes to writing a successful piece of work. In the book, They Say I Say the art of inserting quotations is mentioned to be one of the highest mistakes made by writers. Many insert a quote that has no frame of introduction or background information which is considered a “hit and run quote.” Readers need to be able to comprehend not only the writings, but the background information and quotes from another author writing in order to have the whole work cohesive. Dire necessity for the writer is to go back to the initial text and truly understand the background from which they are quoting to make sure their audience understands the quote and why

In Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury uses the idea of technology to illustrate how there are three types of it, that represent how Montag as a person has changed. Theres the good kind of technology, and the bad kind of technology, and the neutral.

As the human race makes life-changing discoveries, it is made apparent that there is always more to learn as the universe, instead of becoming familiar, is becoming absurd. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, written by Douglas Adams, as well as the 2005 film adaption, portrays absurdity to be an all-encompassing system in the universe. Through the introduction and attempt to understand lack of reason, the narration of important elements and the human perception of the universe, the novel is as a whole, more complete than the film. With these points it is irrefutable that The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy develops the theme of absurdity with greater prowess than the film, resulting in a deeper

Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson is an exceptionally qualified individual to address the issues brought up over the course of the book. He received his bachelor’s degree

In 1944, Max Planck said that there is a “matrix” of energy that provides the blueprint for our physical world. Some simply call it the “field”, others the “mind of God”. This is the missing link that bridges our spiritual experiences of belief, imagination, and prayer with the miracles that we see in the world around us.

A professor by the name of Elliott Sober’s has a convincing response to this theory, using a fishing analogy to describe the relative situation between us and the universe in terms of what we can observe.

Throughout time, women have been considered housewives and mothers. Not all women stayed home, throughout history women have worked, mainly clerical jobs, teaching, charity workers, and other less demanding physical work.

Howard Miller, he uses pathos and ethos to inspire a social movement that increased the number of working women, and changed the face of the workforce.

Tyson highlights one of Sagan’s major heirlooms to the world: “Our capacity to decode and interpret the cosmos is a gift of the method and tools of science. And that’s what’s being handed down from generation to generation.” This means that Carl Sagan’s physical scientific contribution is arguably not his most significant contribution to science. It is in dazzling millions of viewers that Carl Sagan contributed to science. It is in sparking the interest of the public to the entire universe that Sagan is acclaimed, remembered and

This physical understanding of the exterior world may be the impetus for Stephen's subsequent construction of a hierarchical list that defines his place within the universe.

Compass is an instrument for determining directions, as by means of a freely rotating magnetized needle that indicates magnetic north. The compass become very important for navigation. Before compass navigation they navigated with the stars. However, this mean of navigate wouldn’t last long because the stars aren’t out during day and when there is storm the stars aren’t visible either. The weather is unpredictable and this could occur for many days and night. The compass help navigate through storm and when star wasn’t visible, making traveling across the sea easier.
