Prompt 2: Great Thoughts
Posted on February 2nd, 2009 at 12:35 pm by brentscherer and
Great thoughts speak only to a thoughtful mind, but great actions speak to all humankind. How do great actions speak to all humankind?
Great thoughts speak to a thoughtful mind because they’re only thoughts. They will become great actions if one would share or do their thoughts. A good quote that backs up this idea is “actions speak louder than words”. Great actions do speak to all mankind. Great actions could help the world, even if they are small good deeds. A great thought wouldn’t change anything but ones mind frame. A great action could cause a chain of other good actions/reactions. All of these actions would change the world in one way, leading a change to all humankind.
Humankind as progressed a huge amount since it’s beginning. If you truly think about it, all people started out with nothing but sticks and stones. They started out with their natural resources and used them to its full extent. These cavemen evolved the way that they have from coming up with great ideas, and turning them into great actions. If they have never had any good ideas, we would still be living in caves like cavemen.
This also helps prove the theory of evolution. If you compare humankind from 200 B.C. to current 2009, there’s obviously a drastic change. Everything has changed from the way we live, eat, dress, think, and spend our leisure time. The way that we all communicate has changed a lot too. More than just people can speak to humankind. Events, history, news, and actions will speak to all humankind too.
A thought cannot speak to humankind because it will only be a thought. If every single great thought had been made into an action, this world would not be as we know of it now. There are a lot of people out there who could have changed the world and get credit from ideas and thoughts they have gotten. Every great action will inspire more great thoughts. This non ending cycle is what got us where we are today. Who knows what the future will be like.
Most of our nations great actions are shown to us via television, news, telephone, and the internet. All of these resources speak to everyone. This is how we find out about what goes on in the world. Great

There are a number of ideas that could benefit and change someone’s life. The only problem is that these ideas havent been reconized. One main factor in everyones life is the fuel source for our cars, gasoline. I am going to create an alternative for gas. One that is cheeper that the current gas prices. One that is easier to make. Also one that is an infinite source and will not give off hazardous gases when burned. The fuel i am going to create is made our of 99% grass and 1% water.
Talking to Technology
Posted on December 8th, 2008 at 12:26 pm by brentscherer and
In my view, the most important technological invention to benefit society would be the telephone. The telephone has made our lives easier in many ways. It has given us an extremely easier way of communication. It has given us a connection to the internet. Also, the telephone gives us a lifeline by calling 911 during an emergency. The largest way it has impacted our lives though is a communication source to almost anyone on the planet.
The most popular way to communicate in the twenty first century is by the phone. It has become popular because it is a far easier way to get a hold of someone. The phone has taken the place of the letters and notes that used to be written when you would want to speak to someone who was in an out of reach area. It used to take a very long time for a letter to be sent in the 1700’s. The string and cup idea didn’t exactly work as well either. Even though letters are still being sent today, the phone has basically taken over in the ways of communication. Another way of communication the telephone has given us is the internet as well.
The internet and the telephone are very closely related to one another. If it wasn’t for the power lines and the satellites connecting phones to the same network, we wouldn’t have such a thing as the world wide web. The internet allows us to do many helpful tasks. It can allow us to communicate (like the telephone), look up information, give us news, upload information onto the web, blog and much more. One main source of communication over the internet is AIM. This program uses the satellites and telephone cables to connect to other computers and share text messages with other people using this same software. The telephone is also very useful in case you’re in an emergency situation.
The number to call during an emergency is 911. This number calls the police/paramedics. You should only dial this number when you absolutely need to. I feel that this is extremely useful because when your life is at stake, this gives you a chance. Anybody can call too, anywhere you are. Cell phones that are not even activated are still programmed to dial 911 successfully.
In my view, the telephone is the greatest technological invention to benefit society. It gives everyone an easier way to communicate to one another. Being if everyone has a working telephone. The phone gives us the internet. The internet gives us billions of sources of information and knowledge. The phone also gives us a lifeline call of 911. In emergency situations that no one else but officials can help should this number only be called. This invention of course benefits society. But my only question is, how did people come up with this?
