What the heck is a Makerbot? Why does it look like a toaster oven? Who names a toaster oven Makerbot?
-The Makerbot isa 3D printer. What the heck is a 3D printer?  A 3D printer is a machine that can recreate any object in minutes. It doesn't just recreate it on paper it can completely copy the whole object.  This is problematic because it can produce guns and weapons.  This is essentially a war machine. The only other issue is that it can be used for very useful things and eliminate a lot of over use of paper and products.

BLENDER: over the past three days my class has been using this system.  I find it very enjoyable and look forward to using it from here on out.  We made a monkey colored it and put a hat on it and stuff it was great.

The good, the bad, and the ugly, all about the ROTC.  This stands for Reserve Officer Training Corp.  The good is that it pays your way through any college that you can get in to.  The bad and the ugly is that you owe the corp that you applied to years after college.  This service is of gratitude to your country and its a great thing.  ROTC is a great thing.

     What is Digital Game-Based Learning? Good? Bad? Ugly?  What it is, is the teaching of certain information and the learning of other information to students, kids and even adults through digital games.  This idea is a very good one because kids especially have lost focus in school and books.  They have 100% interest in video games and I have no doubt it would improve 100% kids learning abilities.  The bad and ugly is that the kids may focus on just the game part of it, not the learning part.  The ugly is the inability to do so with expenses and time necessary to put into it.  In all i believe DGBL is a great idea, yayy go team!

The Matrix Pill, red "see how far down the rabbit hole goes?" or blue "wake up in your bed not remember a thing and go on with your everyday normal life.  Red obviously would be my choice, I am a man of curiosity.  plus I believe that I am actually the one and Neo was just an impostor so I would have to go and set everyone straight.
