PRRRRRRROOOJECTIONNNNNNSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5 year projection 

In 5 years i think that we will be alot further ahead with technology. We have already gotten really far with it right now and I think given a few more years the world will be run off of nothing but technology. People already rely on their computers and televisions and cell phones and iPads way to much and in five years i feel like it will only get worse with our dependancy on technology. I think the media will also mainly be about the technology and how far it has come in the past 5 years and talking about what type of new vehicles are coming out that dont run on gasoline. 

15 year projection

I think that in 15 years the world will be over run by robots. I have already seen robots working in hospitals transporting things from room to room. It's a scary thing. I think the world will be more like those futuristic movies that we always see with hover crafts flying around everywhere and extremely tall buildings where companies conduct all their crazy experiments and make all kinds of crazy things to rule the world. I also think that alot of people will be trying to find a way to live on other planets and that will become a much bigger issue that it actually is now because i dont think right now that alot of people realize that one day humans are going to have to leave Earth before it completely dies as a planet. I think alot more people will be trying to travel out into space to see what is out there. and also .. CONAN OBRIEN FOR PRESIDENT .. 

50 year projection

I dont even think that I can think that far ahead. By that time I will have dementia so I wont know what is going on and I will be locked up in my cabinet on another planet in some other galaxy.

ALL AT ONE POINT/ THE AQUATIC UNCLE

Im starting to notice a pattern in alot of the sci-fi short stories. Alot of them start off talking about "We" and they dont really explain who the "We"are. This short story was really confusing to me. I really had no idea what was going on. It was a little difficult to read for the reason that the peoples names were written like elements and that just threw me off big time. I dont know if i was just reading to fast but the story just didnt make any sense to me.

The second book was a little bit easier to read it was still confusing but the way it was worded it was easier to understand. It was mentioned that they slapped their paws and tails in the water.. sounding like  they are some sort of animal but they are really fish?

Bloodchild

I was lost with this story. i really had no idea what was going on aside from the fact that some guy had bugs in him and someone was pulling them out of him. I was unsure as so what the characters were supposed to be. This story reminded me of an episode of monsters inside of me when this kid went to a foreign land and came back to america and found out that he had bugs in him and when he pulled them out they were like these nasty slug things eating him slowly and growing inside of him getting bigger and bigger. so it was weird to me that they used this in a sci- fi book and then realizing "hey, this could really happen." its kind of a scary thing that sci- fi and real life are starting to mix together.
I was confused if these characters are some kind of bug or like aliens or something because they were talking about stinging each other and stuff like that to get rid of the pain. I also didnt get that the thing she was pulling out were supposed to be babies they just came off as slug like things to me.

Aye and Gomorrah 1967

I read this short story for the reading this week. I didn't totally understand what was going on in the story but i tried my best to grasp it. this was a very confusing story. from what i read i got that the spacers were people who had no gender. the spacers gave off kind of a stuck up attitude like they were better then the rest of the people and the frelks who im assuming were more like humans didnt seem to like them but also at the same time they found them attractive. I got from this that the spacers were in a way like prostitutes and the frelks had to pay them for any type of activity. Im still confused as to whether the spacers dont have genders or if they are like some cultures today and just are born one gender but practice as another.

What Makes something Sci-Fi

I think Sci-Fi is considered Sci-Fi because well its stuff that just doesnt seem possible. Aliens, Space battles, Ufo's all of those things just dont seem like they could ever in a million years be real to humans. I think the fact that most of it take place in space also is a huge factor in alot of sci-fi. There are some things that take place on earth too which makes it seem as though its possible like one day aliens could actually come down from space and attack and kill us all. I think those are the main components of Sci-Fi.

The Star 1956

When I was younger I remember asking my dad, who works at NASA, about what would happen if the sun exploded. and i remember him telling me that everything around us would be completely destroyed. This Story just reminded me of that day when he explained to me in great detail what would happen if the sun exploded. I rather enjoyed reading this short story. I think it had a strong story line. It was a little hard to follow at parts but eventually i was able to put together what was happening. When it began to talk about the other planet they found and all the preparations the inhabitants of that planet made before they were destroyed, it made me wonder if there was really something else out there and how cool it would be to actually find this deserted planet and see that they actually thought there were also other living things out side of their planet. I would love for this to really happen. It would be very fascinating.

ALSO .. Serenity is one of my favorite movies and i have seen every episode of firefly. I seriously think that is one of the best tv shows ever made next to any show with Conan Obrien.

The Losing of Mr Brooks

For this weeks reading I chose to read the Losing of Mr Brooks. It is a short story that I found online. The story is about a woman and her husband. It starts out with Mrs. Brooks in the hospital the doctors told her that her husband has been "lost". Then the story goes back to tell us why he has been "lost". It starts out on a saturday when mr and mrs brooks are outside gardening. Mr brooks goes to his garden shed to get something and then decides its very dirty. Him and mrs brooks decided that it will be cleaned later on that day. Mr. brooks isnt a clumsy man but as he is leaving the shed he falls and breaks his leg. He is taken to the hospital and the thats when the weirdness begins. As he is laying in his hospital bed he opens his eyes and sees someone/ something standing over him and he realizes it isnt human so he thinks he is hallucinating. Then the thing above him begins to talk and it introduces its self and Brein the Elf Guardian. Brein has a bunch of little dust pixies that are with him and they tell mr brooks that he has to promise not to clean them up or to tell anyone about what he has seen or else Brein will turn mr brooks into a spider. mr brooks doesnt agree to these terms and is turned into a spider. After mrs brooks goes home she starts cleaning for a sort of therapy and ends up seeing a spider and killing it. The spider turns out to be mr. brooks. I really enjoyed this short story i think it was put together very well. I feel like its hard to write a good short story because there isnt alot of time to tell a story .. in a short story but this one was very well put together and i would recommend it.
