3 It was created on wikispaces. They created an acount and than the wiki.
4 More modern technology like cell phones or tablets.
5 I learned that the term disruptive technology was first coined in The Innovator's Dilemma by Clayton Christensen, first published in 1997.
6 It would be about Call of Duty.
7 It could be used to teach someone about a subject that the class was learning.

     Over the break I had went to game-stop and bought a new game Call of Duty Black Ops 3. I played that game over the entire brake with my friends online. It's a first person shooter with three different modes, campaign, multiplayer, and zombies. I had played multiplayer for the majority of the break. I had also played zombies for a short period of time. This is my new favorite game that I will be playing for a lot of my time after school.
     Another thing that I did was sleep. It was nice to get a chance to sleep in on a weekday. I also had walked my dogs. I have to walk them at least four times a day because I live in an apartment complex. I used to live a house which made it easier because I could just let them out in the backyard. It can be a bit annoying when I am in the middle of a Call of Duty grind.

Atom Smasher Probes Highest Energies Yet
     Scientists at the world's largest atom smasher have made a precise tall of the jumbled cascade of particles produced when two proton beams are smashed together. The results could help researchers discover new types of particles.
     Researchers at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland sent two beams of protons hurtling in opposite directions and crashed them together at the highest energy level yet achieved at the LHC. The research is part of the 150,000 proton-proton collisions the researchers identified, about 22 charged particles (hadrons) were produced. article

Swim for the Earth: 3D-Printed Bikini Scrubs Water Pollution

     When most people swim in the ocean, they're likely not thinking about how they can mop up pollution as they splash around, but a team of researchers have created a 3D-printed bathing suit that could do just that.

     Engineers from the University of California, Riverside, teamed up with designers from Eray Carbajo, an architecture and design firm based in New York City, to design a bikini that can absorb contaminants from water while a person swims. The suit keeps the materials locked up in its fabric. It can absorb up to 25 times its own weight. This suit can be reused 20 times before it begins to lose its absorbency. At that point, it can be replaced with new sponge padding, and the old padding can be recycled, so that the contaminants can be safely extracted and dealt with. article

Google forms can be used in my life by taking surveys about the service at stores or restaurants. It could also be used to make a survey about a new product, asking what you would like it to be(color, design, ect.).

Driverless Cars Tech Article 10/9

Toyota has become the latest car manufacturer to test a driverless vehicle on a public road.
The car, a modified Lexus GS was tested on Tokyo's Shuto Expressway, where it carried out a range of automated manoeuvres. These included merging into highways, changing lanes and keeping intercehicular distance.

Nissan has promised to put an automated car on Japan's roads as early as 2016.

Google is already testing its self-driving cars on US city streets. And Tesla chief executive Elon Musk said in July his company was "almost ready" to make its cars go driverless on main roads and parallel-park themselves.(article)
