Email was invented by Ray Tomlinson. Email has really changed our lives. Email was made to help us communicate by computer. Now we can get email on our phones and laptops instead of just computers. Although email can be helpful it has a few problems too. First, when a email is sent the person will not always be online so they do not get the email right away, that is where instant message comes in but I will get back to that. Secondly, on Email you cannot send as many pictures and businesses sell things through emails, so they get a lot of emails. Finally, Email accounts can get hacked and used by other people so the user has to change their passwords often. Instant message (texting) is a good way to solve these problems. IM was create in 1990 and is still very popular today. With IM it only takes a little data and can send many pictures and even emoticons. IM has it's own language in a way, such as lol means laugh out loud, and brb means be right back. Email is a good way to communicate and so is IM.
Ligers do exist they are a mix of a female tiger and a male lion. They are mostly lion. A Tigon is a mix of a male tiger and a female lion, it is mostly tiger. Ligers look like a big lion with tiger stripes across their face. Ligers stripes are usually faded and not as bold as a tiger's. Ligers are very social like lions, and like tigers they like to swim. Ligers are really only kept in zoos no one has ever found them in the wild. Mostly because tigers are found in Asia and lions are mostly found in Africa. Ligers and Tigons are very unique animals but sadly they have trouble staying healthy and usually never live to be over 7.
Are unicorns real? You probably know the answer but scientists say unicorns are real. But only in your imagination. Ancient myths and stories have been passed down and unicorns exist in many children's minds. The unicorn legend started in the fourth century B.C., when Ctesias heard tales of one horned donkeys as big as horses with white bodies, red heads, blue eyes and horns that were 18 in. long. In history there were many people who reported seeing a unicorn. Over time the stories changed and it became the legend of the unicorn a magical creature that had the ability to fly or had healing powers. Many people describe the unicorn with a magical horn too! Recently scientists have found different animals such as the one horned deer and they believe that some of these animals could have started the legend of the unicorn.
On September 11 everything was going normal until 8:46 that morning when a hijacked plane full of passengers crashed into the North twin tower. Many people thought it was just a horrible accident. But at 9:03 that same morning when a second hijacked plane crashed into the South tower, people knew they were under attack. The fuel from the plane caused both towers to catch fire killing many people. Then, at 9:37 am another plane flew right into the pentagon, killing 125 people. The final plane crashed on it's way to D.C. in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, when a passenger took control of the plane. That day the South twin tower collapsed and half an hour later the North tower collapsed too. Sadly 2,996 people died that day. But many people came together and rebuilt New York. Now two water fountains sit where the twin towers used to stand.
I read the article "How Do Cats Always Land on All Four Feet?" in Wonderopolis. It turns out that cats do not always land on four feet if the fall is around 12 inches or less. Cats have a very flexible back, a light bone structure, and an instinct that when they fall they automatically know which way is down. So once they know which way is down they shift their body so they will land on all four feet, and their fur also helps soften the landing. Go to wonderopolis.com and search wonder 1252 and watch the video
I just finished the book "El Deafo" by Cece Bell. It is about a little girl who can't hear very well and she has to get hearing aids. It is a comic book and it is really good! "El Deafo" is super funny and I recommend it to everyone!
I read the article "ancient methods of navigation" from NEWSELA. People from groups of islands were called Polynesia they lived 3,500 years ago. They used a navigation method, they measured the stars. In the movie, "Moana" she learns how to sail and in one scene she is measuring the stars with her hand. People had to memorize were the stars were. They lined up their thumb with the horizon line and then puts their hand in an L shape. They have to measure Orion ( it is a constellation.) if it is in a certain position you are facing north, east, south, or west. Over the years the stars slowly shift so people had to play close attention to how the stars moved and where they are.
