Dinosaurs

How were they wiped out? What would it be like if they still existed? Would we even exist?  These are many questions that are unanswered. Well, what do YOU think? Your opinions are just as important as scientific statements.

Names

Names. The thing that defines people and one of the things that makes us so different. They have different origins and meanings that can define our ancestry, cultures and families. My name, Sydney, can either be a girls or boys name. Many names are like this but many are not. There are many different ways to spell my name. Like Cydnee, Cydney, Sidnee, Sydnie, Cydnie or Sidnie, but I believe that my way is the best. Sydney Biddle Barrows (1980s) is a famous celebrity which usually influences the naming of baby girls. Sydney is of an Old English origin and means “wide island”.

Computer Games


Computer games have revolutionised the way we live today. Most modern-day children would rather stay inside and play computer games than go outside and exercise. Everyday new games are being designed and developed for a wide range of consoles. As more and more games are created, the better the quality becomes. Nowadays I see toddlers with IPods and babies with IPads. Kids as young as five with phones. Children are spoilt rotten and are given anything they want. Parents are getting slacker and slacker these days and have lost sight of how a child should behave. As technology grows, so will the laziness of our society. Now, you’re probably thinking “What good can come of technology and computer games?!” but you would be wrong. Certain games and computer programs can improve the player’s hand-eye coordination, reaction time, reflexes, eyesight and brain-function. They also help people relax as well as relieve stress and tension. I believe that computer games are good, as long as you aren’t playing them all the time.
