There have been dramatic technological changes over the past 100 years changes have been taken place in the three main areas. For example, electricity, motorized transport and space exploration. Further dramatic change seems likely to in the following three areas: car technology; camera technology; alternative energy sources.
Significant changes car technology has developed rapidly in the past few decades. For the past 28 years the battery cauterized devices, that replaced keys, rely on weak radio signals emitted by tiny transmitters the active a car's door lock motors. The transmitters had a range of 15 feet, although, trees or wall could block the signal. This is still likely to be a major area of change in the coming decades: e.g. car engines uses both internal combustion engine and electric motor for running the car intelligently. The electronic system decides when to run the car on electric motor alone, when to run it on both electric motor and engine, when to run it on gasoline alone and when to use motor as a generator and convert kinetic energy from the wheels into electricity to charge the battery camera.
Camera technology astounding changes consumers more easily and better by all digital cameras have a built in computer, and all of them record images electronically. Also consumers can just charge the camera and use it for the rest of the day. Furthermore, they have a ship that can have a thousand of memory also it has video tape.
A major challenge facing the world at the end of the 20th century= global warming resulting from man-made pollution. It is likely that alternative energy sources will soon be exploited more seriously solar, wind and wave energy. Nuclear energy Perhaps we will abandon high-speed vehicles and accept slower, more energy- efficient ones.Even though, there are already inventing flying car in the air without using gasoline by using the wind.
To conclude, we can expect major changes in the areas of car technology, camera technology and energy use.

POEM
My favorite color is Purple:
I walk into a purple garden
the place is magical and free
in the morning all the purple
flowers are like a rainbow
moving as wind
the grass is violet, the sky
is blue purple defines every tree
I walk into a purple garden there
are purple flowers that smell like
grapes and a swamp of violet waters
sound trickle into my ears
I walk into a purple graden a streak
of purple runs across the sky I hear my
sister whisper say it was a fairy passing by
I walk into a purple garden on violet
sod I lie my head but later, of course I
awake in my bed.
ESSAY WRITING
There are variety of activities people can do during the day. In general, everyone has his or her own preferences on spending time on something that they enjoy. The activity subject is flexible and is easily adapted to people's environment. The activities have many ways of distractions and entertaintments.
The activities are the same by students spending their free time in something that they like to do and enjoy it at the same time. In addition, they share different experiences and each one of them learn from each other. Such as, sports, games, drawings, shopping, and studing. However, the activities are different since some students like to spend time on what they prefer or like to do for their entertaintment. Some like prefer to go to the library and relax searching for information on the computer while some students like to go shopping to the stores having fun with their friends.
The activity that I like the best is the library because, I can get benefits from it by reading books to improve my learning skills and grammar so I can speak English better and more. Furthermore, I can ask for help from a friend or a teacher in the library on any homework or project that I have to do. For example, if I need help in a math problem, I can ask for help and they will teach me how to do it.
To conclude, there are plenty of activities that people can do during the day depending on their own preferences of spending their free time on things that they like to do.

POEM:
IN A SUNSHINE NEIGHBORHOOD IN DR:
I learned the
difference between
roses and violets
carin~o
come and help me
she'd tell me
on the mornings
my parents
would leave
to work at
the restaurant
my grandma
would move as wind
maintain the flowers
as good as gold
listen to radio
and sing them
old songs
dance while cooking
in the kitchen
when she'd say
mi muchachita
she'd laugh and
give me a big hug
with my grandma
I learned to spread
water on the flowers
to point out the red
roses in the sunshine
DR gardens, rivers,
sea
in her eyes I'd see
them in her rainbow
I'd feel them and
see the different colors
like a stripe
one day I was told
she was gone
but still I feel her
in my heart
whispering in
my ear and mind
carin~o.
