Assignment for Monday November 25

Dear students,

Here is a link to an article called "the 150 things the world's smartest people are afraid of" from Motherboard magazine:

http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/what-150-of-the-worlds-smartest-scientists-are-worried-about

Read through them, some will be difficult to understand (lots of science terminology) so if you may skip some if you like.

Choose the 3 that you feel are the biggest concerns for humanity in the future. Write a paragraph about why you feel this is a big concern (50 words each paragraph).

Then choose something about the future that makes you feel hopeful or excited (wearable technology for example) and write about paragraph of your thoughts on the matter (50 words). Why does this excite you? How will it change the world in the future? How will it make our lives better? are some questions to consider for your answer.

Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.

Mr. O'Connor
