1. I think that this industry has such good growth because it meets the costumers own terms and its easier and faster to get goods to the costumers. This industry has good growth because its efficient for the costumers to save their own time and it connects more with the new technology. I also think that people don't want to have to wait in traffic to get items that they can just get delivered to them instead.
2. My family will sometimes uses amazon to deliver goods to us because we don't always have time to got o a store and find stuff. My family doesn't use it to deliver food at all because we would rather pick out our food at a store but my mom uses it if we need a book or clothes that we cant't find at the stores. I sometimes use amazon to order my friends a gift or present because I can get stuff done faster.
3. I think that this industry has been targeted by ''Millennials" because its a easier and faster for them to get stuff done. I also think that people don't want to have to wait in traffic to get what they need and this industry meets their demands faster and saves them the time. I believe that people find it easier to skip the stores because online costumers can narrow everything down to find exactly what they were looking for.
4. I don't think I would use this services on a regular basis in the future because I prefer to physically get stuff done rather than online. The reason I prefer this is because I don't like having to go through the shipping fees or the slow loading of a computer and I like being able to get out of my house. I believe  that I would use the service sometimes but its not something I would like to do everyday to get something when I could just go to the store and buy it there without having to wait for it to be delivered.

1. No my parents nor I have purchase a textbook to compensate for the digital version I have accress to. Although we have thought of buying one due to me not being able to flip back in forth as fast on a device than a textbook. I have always liked the actual textbook compared to the online one because sometimes its harder to access one online and not as easy to use. Even with have a digital device and being able to access it more often then carrying around a textbook I still find it better to have a textbook at home because then I could not get frustrated if my device isn't working.
2. I think that not having a textbook have hurt my grades a little because in Pre AP Geography we have to sometimes use the online textbook to finish a assignment and it doesn't always work. The online textbook was hard and confusing to navigate and it took a long time just to find a page that I needed. I think if I had a textbook at home it would have saved me so much time and I could have gotten all the information needed for the assignment and that would have not hurt my grade as much.
3. I think that gong all digital has not been a good decision because not everybody has the access to a device like others do. I think that even though it might seem more efficient online textbook are not as easy to use and make students to dependent on their devices to get work down instead of getting them use to using textbooks tat they will have to get for colleges. Also textbooks are easy to find information on then having to wait for a device to load the the pages.
4. I think that this trend is going to continue in the United States because due to the new generation of technology schools and districts will continue to try and keep up with the technology updates. As technology becomes more and more useful more and more school things will be moved from paper to being online to save the amour go paper printed and the amount of time it takes. Even though thus trend all continue i think tat schools and districts should still give students access to textbooks to keep at home because not everyday has access to devices like others.
5. I think schools and distracts decided to do away with textbooks because it saves the schools and districts money. I think that this also save amount of space in classrooms and gives the students the chance to uses their devices more often instead of just staring at a textbook all day. Also they decided to do away with textbooks to save the amount of paper used to make textbooks and make it earlier for students have carry around instead of carrying around textbooks all day.

Student of the Month Story

Student of the Month Story

  Last week, Bowie High School awarded the Student of the Month to Ellie Cemer for her huge involvement and hard work in school.

"Holy cow I can't believe I did this."

  Ellie Cemer felt as if she deserved receiving Student of the Month due to all the hard work she put into her homework and extra credit and is proud of what she accomplished.

"Its worth all the work because it gave me the ability to say that I can accomplish something through education"

According to the Ellie's Biology teacher to receive Student of the Month one has to have all A's, have school spirit, and must be involved in extra activities.

"Ellie did a lot of extra credit and stayed on top of her grades and she got all A's in all of her classes."

Some advice Ellie gives to students to become Student of the Month is to always do their best and to believe they can do it. And would like others to get the chance to receive this and hopes they have the same experience she had.

"I think it would be cool to win Student of the Month again, but I want others to become as happy as i am when they get the reward."

Receiving this reward motivated Ellie to become the best she can be and owes all her work to her family and friends for all their support for her and encourage her.

"I supported her by telling her to believe she can do it and told her how proud I would be in her even if she didn't win it."

When Ellie told her family and friends that she won Student of the Month she was so happy to their reactions to the news.

"I was so happy and proud of her that she received Student of the Month."

Even after all the work Ellie put into winning Student of the Month she explained that she was still very surprised because their was a lot of people doing just as much work  as she was doing.

"This means to me that hard work does pay off."

After finding out she won Student of the Month Ellie was given a medal and a certificate for all her work and believes that Student of the Month is a great idea for schools to keep doing.

"Every school should do this because the students will feel more inspired."

1.  A wearable is technology  that you wear on your body. This is something that you notice on a commercial for the Apple Watch. This has become one of theses terms in technology that thats such a catch over the last couple of years.
2. This is something were seeing more and more often because the newer generation of wearables are more integrated to our body and is smaller. And many popular start ups are saying its now the Age of Wearable Gadgets. I think winces popular companies like Apple and Google are supporting Wearables its becoming more popular.
3. what appealed to me the most about Wearables is it being The Apple Watch because its a mice device to have. The Apple Watch appeals to me the most because its a device i can use for workouts and if i don't have my phone on me then i can have the watch.
4. I do think that we will be seeing Wearables more and more often in the future because as technology develops so does what we were involves to. I also thing that dominies will come up with more advance Wearables like the Apple Watch because peoples needs fro this device will increase in the future.
5. According to all the facts in the story I think that maybe in the future i will be wearing something like a type of Wearable similar to the Apple Watch because it could come in handy. I think this because as our generation grows the need fro new technology grows the same because the audience doesn't want the same old thing they want advancements.
