“The Machine Stops” by E.M Forester depicts a very sad, yet all too possible future in which the human race is forced underground by some cataclysmic event. This might seem unrealistic now, but we rely on technology almost as much as the people in the story. There are many parallels between the dystopian future Forester portrays, and the present we live in now. For example, the main characters in this story are a mother and son, Vashti and Kuno. The only way that they communicate is through a…
The Cradle-to-Cradle design process (C2C) aims to develop a product, as well as its component materials, that can be reused or recycled at the end of its product life cycle instead of becoming waste. C2C focuses on reducing toxic pollution, waste, and redesigning industrial processes in order to avoid waste and pollution initially. Herman Miller, an internationally acclaimed furniture design house, made the decision to adopt this design process to move the company toward environmental…

Specifically, we have McDonald’s replacing their employees with…
The images a MRI machine actually present are the water molecules that make up most of our bodies systems and organs. Water molecules consist of oxygen and hydrogen atoms, the core of which is a nucleus, a single proton. The protons have a basic property called nuclear spin as well as an electrical charge which makes them act like little magnets. When the magnetic field makes the spinning protons wiggle, the stronger the magnetic field, the faster the wiggle. Nuclei wiggle at roughly 50 million…
still getting these items due to ads. Even though they are not able to afford such items, the buyer will figure a way to get this product. They notice that others are getting the product and are satisfied.

Have you ever wondered if there could be an easier way to lift heavy objects without all the ropes, claws and wheels? Well not anymore, ever since the hydraulic crane which uses the force of water and pushes or pulls throughout the pipes and pulls up heavy items. This has been an innovation in the pulley and regular cranes. With something good there is one bad, if a person were to use pipes or steel which one would be more sustainable and last longer? As in all the other cranes this specific one…
