Flying Cars



The people @ NASA have built something they call "the highway in the sky". It's a computer system that allows people to fly when ever they want, land or takeoff from where ever they want in their own cars. Good news-- alot of people are building machines one day people will be able to buy.Ther ewon't be any more traffic jam. Some will even drive themselves.

internet safety


The Internet can be a wonderful resource for kids. They can use it to research school reports, communicate with teachers and other kids, and play interactive games. Kids who are old enough to punch in a few letters on the keyboard can literally access the world.But that access can also pose hazards.
Smart Shirt
The Smart Shirt is manufactured by Sensatex, but was developed by the Georgia Institute and originally funded by the US military's 21st Century Land Warrior Program and the Defense Advance Research Projects Agency (Bowie 2000). The shirt contains sensors that can be used to monitor vital signs such as heart rate, EKG, respiration, and blood pressure.

The Smart Shirt uses what the company calls interconnection technology that involves networking sensing, monitoring, and information processing devices (Sensatex 2005). Information from the optical sensing and electrical conducting fibers in the shirt are sent to a “transmitter at the base of the shirt where it is stored on a memory chip or sent to your doctor, coach, or personal server via a wireless network like Bluetooth, RF, wLAN, or cellular network”(Tollen 2001).

The Smart Shirt System designed for athletes can be used to maximize training and performance. The Athletic Smart Shirt System allows the athlete to track and monitor “biometric data, such as heart rate, respiration rate, body temperature, caloric burn, and provides readouts via a wristwatch, PDA/smart phone, or voice” (Sensatex 2005). The information can also be stored and accessed using the internet in order for the athlete to track his or her progress over time.
