Scientists have created a mini mars on earth called "mars yard". This replica is made in london and costs about 832000. The main purpose is so the european space agency can test out new rover they hope to use. The rover they are making is one they hope can travel and make its own safe route. The rover should be out in 2018. If all goes well the ESA will hope to launch their two missions up to mars in the 2020s.

Samsung's Milk

Just like how Apple has iTunes and the Beats has its Beats music...Samsung now has Milk. It is a customizable, ad-free music streaming service that Samsung provides. Owners of Samsung phones have access to over 200 stations. The name "milk" is used to represent the brand's "fresh take" on music. Milk has features that other appliances apparently lack. Also, Milk Music offers exclusive music programs for emerging artists.

Reflection

In Web 2.0 class I learned...

• How to use Diigo
• How to use Jing
• How to make a blogger
• How to embed videos from YouTube on to my blog
• How to use an RSS Feed

Because of Web 2.0 I can use websites to bookmark my pages and to find useful resources for any type of research paper. Now when I want to embed something, I know how to. I'l continue to use that especially when I personally blog on my own blog on Tumblr.
