Careers in the Automotive Industry:      High tech automobile systems such as stability and traction control, cruise control, and variable valve timing were all unheard of 30 years ago. In order to have a career in the automobile industry, need to have skills in math, science, communications and technical areas. Unlike other other high-tech educational options that would take four-eight years of college/university, a career as an automotive technician only requires two years, and you'll have lest college debt.  The U.S. Dept. of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts that the automotive repair and maintenance industry will  237 500 jobs, and create a 30% growth rate by 2020.

Technologies in Development      I think that each of the six emerging technologies will happen, but I think that some will take longer than others. I think that will EV Extravaganza will take longer to happen, as electric cars are expensive, as well as the cost of charging them. I think the development of flying cars will have the biggest impact on society, as people have been working on creating one since 1907.  I think that the first technology to be used will be Ford's Workload Estimator/ Biometric Scanner. as people have already made similar designs to try and reduce the number of  accidents.  When it comes to flying cars, I think they would be a huge benefit to society, as emergency personal could get onto the scene quicker, and wouldn't have to swap vehicles. The down side of this, however, is that if a criminal was using this vehicle to escape, they would be able to travel on both land and air, making it harder for the authorities to pursue them. W...

Carl Benz:      The automobile has been around for 122 years. A patent is a a government authority or license conferring a right or title for a set period, especially the sole right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention. In January, 1886,  he obtained a patent for his automobile, which he called the "Benz Patent-Motorwagen". In August, 1888, Carl's wife drove the Motorwagen with her two sons. The first Petrol/Gasoline station is born from this. The "axial pivot steering system" helped solve the problem of steering two wheels simultaneously.When the two automobile companies merged, the new name was "Mercedes-Benz". Unlike most pioneers, Carl Benz lived to see his dream come true. H enry Ford:      Three of Henry's employees suggested that rather than have an assembly line where the workers moved from position to position, the items should be brought to them, then sent to the next worker in the line while they stayed put...

The following are important parts of your computer: Computer Processing Unit/CPu The Computer Processing Unit (CPU) , or Processor, is located inside the computer case on the motherboard. Often considered the brain, the CPU is what processes the commands. Whenever you press a key, click with the mouse, oir open an application you are sending commands to the CPU. The CPU is covered by the heat sink on the motherboard, which absorbs heat from the processor. The faster your processor, the faster your computer can execute commands. However, other parts depict the speed of the CPU. Companies that make this are: Intel, AMD Motherboard The Motherboard is the main circuit board of the computer. The Motherboard is a thin plate that holds the CPU, the hard drive,memory, the video, audio and internet cards, and connections to computer ports, such as USB ports. The Motherboard connects indirectly or directly to every part of your computer. Companies that make this are: Acer, B...

I chose to explain how to make an account on YouTube, and how to subscribe to channels. Here is a link  to my flyer on how to make a YouTube account, and subscribe to YouTubers.
