2.) It's easy to use and you can see thing that are available localy.

3.) The person whom made the site could make it prettier.

Urban Warfare: Johnny 5 Style

1.) The article basically talks about how people are creating robots that are doing more things for humans. Things such as the urban warfare robot which is used in the place of a soldier to secure areas that are considered hazardous.

2.) I belive that the more we differ away from humanity to do things our environment will greatly suffer as well as our independence.

Cyber-Bullying

1.) "Cyberbullying (also spelt Cyber-bullying, Cyber bullying) or online bullying is the term used to refer to bullying and harassment by use of electronic devices though means of e-mail, instant messaging, text messages, blogs, mobile phones, pagers, and websites." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyber-bullying

2.) "MySpace.com, the popular networking site, last fall released a guide for school administrators, advising them to contact the site about false or offensive user profiles or to report threats or cyberbullying. It also created a hotline and email address for the exclusive use of school officials to contact MySpace."

3.) No one has ever tried to do that to me, but if they did I would track them down and try to fight them. Or if that didn't work I would jump them. And I've never met anyone who was bullied online.

4.) "Several states passed laws or other measures in 2006 that addressed bullying that can happen in cyberspace. Idaho's law that seeks to prohibit student bullying and harassment allows that such acts can be "committed through the use of a land line, car phone or wireless telephone or through the use of data or computer software that is accessed through a computer, computer system or computer network."

5.) Schools should not be worried about cyber bullying because if a student isn't strong enough to shake it off then they will mostlikely fail at life and they should quit school while they are behind.
