Typing Reflection

I really notice my improvement in my typing skills. I was always a fast typer, but at the beginning of the year I had 46-50 Gross Speed and 43-49 Net Speed. Now, I score 50-54 Gross Speed and 50-52 Net Speed. That is a really good improvement for such a short amount of time. By the end of the year, I want to score at least 60 wpm in Gross Speed with at least 90-95% of accuracy. That way I will be a really fast typer and I will surpass my past posts easily. When I'm in college, although I don't know if it's possible, I want to score 62-65 wpm in Gross Speed and 90-95% accuracy. My improvement in my typing skills is really noticeable and I'm loving it.

Future Artifact


(Paragraph 1) I really liked the machine I used as my artifact. What I didn't like was that I could not do it that pretty. I tried some ways to make it look better, but I guess I'm not that much of an artist. I learned a lot during this proyect, well I already knew how to paste images to an already existing image in photoshop, but I did not know how to paste arrows in top of images using Microsoft Word. I did put effort into my project. I would love to have this dog-breed mixer machine. If I had this machine, I would combine two Huskies, because I love the Husky dogs, they are just so cute. This machine would make thousands of people lifes a lot easier. There are times in which people can never mate their dogs with other dogs because it's just so hard to find the perfect dog. Sometimes they might find a good dog, but they can never find the perfect one. With this machine, you can get the perfect dog by just choosing it and clicking on the check button, it's that simple. I wish this machine can be possible in the future.

(Paragraph 2) I liked your project very much. I think you did a good job on the little white things that attach to your head to create electrical currents with your brain. I think you could have added little cables to them so you could attach them to the machine, that would look pretty realistic. You could also add a sentence above her head or something that says what she is dreaming, so everyone gets an idea of what it does, because someone might not get it. Other than that, you did a pretty good job on the image you picked and the placing of the head patches, it's really good.

(Paragraph 3) Your artifact is really interesting, that is the reason I chose it. I don't really know if it could exist in the future, because your brain develops the dream images, but I don't think those images could be copied into a machine. Although, I would love to have an artifact that saves your dreams, and that also stores it in its memory so you can watch them whenever you go to sleep. Its function really is just to entertain, or maybe to remember something, you could use it to know what babies dream about, since you could go back to your baby dreams and watch them. I do think it would be expensive, I don't think that building a dream-saver machine could be anywhere near the cheap classification. I really think your artifact would be really useful and fun, I hope it exists in the future.

Artifact From The Future

This product is from the future
because it doesn't exist right now,
and maybe it will exist later on time,
in other words, it is from the future.
I liked this artifact because sometimes
you can have a hard time picking a baby
dog, and this seems like the right way
to go during hard times finding a puppy.

This artifact is a machine that lets you
pick two dog breeds and combine them
to form one dog. It's kind of a soda
machine, but it has nothing to do
with a soda machine. You can pick
out any two breeds in the world, from a
chihuahua combined with another chihuahua,
to a chihuahua combined with a pug.
This is a really cool machine. You just
pick your breeds, pay, and pick up your dog
at the bottom part of the artifact.
