Swiss School
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xErMPMzSVy8
THIS VIDEO taught me all about SUMAS
The Sustainability and Management School in Switzerland is the first of its kind in Europe
It is located in Gland, between Geneva and bla.
The students are happy about Switzerland's location in the middle of Europe, and Switzerland's beauty.
It is the only school that handles a masters in Buisness Administration with Sustainability.
Sustainability is the future.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWEaVywlKrY
This vid is about consumption and Global Warming
The key player in global warming is industry.
There is a webpage that calculates how big your ecological footprint is.
If we continue on this rate, by 2050 we will need twice the world's surface to satisfy our waste and needs.
Now a days there are many ecological solutions but people just dont use them because theyre expensive.
In Europe there are logos that tell the consumer exactly what theyre buying.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAK8Cd4t0WA
This link was about Al Gore's movie, An Inconvenient Truth.
The hottest ten years recorded were in the last 14 years. The hottest was 2005
If we continue, Shanghai, Florida, Calcutta and New York will be 20ft underwater. \
Glaciers and Snow Peaked Mountains are melting everywhere. Soon, Mt Kilimanjaro wont have snow.
Al Gore was going to be the next president of the United Nations.

This video shows a speech made by the solar impulse pilots.
They say that you need innovation and creativity to stand out in life
We are in the best moment in human kind because we are capable of designing something that can save mankind.
The meeting was held in a basketball stadium.
I know Ms Shawn won't read this, however, I am still doing it.
The graduating class was of Arizona State University.
We need to be pioneers and explorers.
http://www.solarimpulse.com/timeline/view/6971#.UZoamDj47zY.gmail
There was a creation of a solar plane that is extremely slow but requires no fuel at all. It can practically fly on forever, however, the pilots get extremely tired and they require sleep and to stretch their legs. That is why I would be willing to take a PS3 with me on the trip, to be able to play FIFA whenever I want.

LETTER TO SUMAS
Dear Ms. Cadenas,
In Bogota, there are many environmental problems that need to be solved. For example, the sewage system isn't the best, not every place has recycling bins and there is no strict law against littering like there is in Southeast Asia. However, the most horrifying thing about Bogota's sustainability is the fact that we have an atrocious Garbage Disposal System.
The thing is, Ms. Cadenas, that we don't have a very good mayor. Of course it is not entirely his fault, but he still could do a lot more to solve Bogota's crisis. It is practically impossible to walk in and Bogota street and not find a piece of litter around. That is why changing the current Garbage Disposal System in Bogota would be my top priority in the city's current state.
Sincerely,
Alejandro Samper

What has changed
People using MySpace.
People using flip phones
People start to sext.
iCloud was installed so there is a virtual drive.
Security services are stronger.
Internet popularity has increased greatly.
There are portable internet smartphones in which people can access the internet and their mails everywhere, anytime.
Internet and anonymous people can cause an amplification in the suicidal minds of teenagers.
Children are raised with the basic traits of cyber citizenship
Parents support their children regardless.
there are more ways to remain anonymous
More ways to cheat, and to prevent cheating
AFTER THE MOVIE
I identified myself with the internet dependence because I use the internet every day and for a long time. The internet is addictive. You have lots to do and you can do things simultaneously. Also, with the new smartphones and wifi, you can access internet anywhere from any console. The internet can be your haven, your hub. It shows your real identity, especially in your teenage years.
I didnt identify myself at all with the paranoid parents that require my password. My parents, however, put an internet control thingy that doesnt let me enter dangerous sites.

GAFE
Google Search
It is the world's most used internet tool. People Google search things whenever they feel it is necessary because they know that Google will find an answer. In the top 50 most popular websites, Google.com is the second most visited, google.co.in is 12, google.com.hk is 24, google.de is 25, google.co.uk is 27, google.co.jp is 31, Google.fr is 34, google.br is 38, google.ru is 42, google.it is 49 and google.es is 50.
http://mostpopularwebsites.net/
Google search works with labels and most visited websites. If you search Futbol Club Barcelona, for example, you will be directed to a page which shows the most visited websites with the labels "Futbol", "Club" and "Barcelona". Since it is a popular subject, the club's official page will appear in the top, alongside some photos from Google images in the left.
Google search has a few shortcuts that may be helpful when you are researching information. For example, there is a translation button in which you can translate full pages into your native language. Also you can preview the link before actually entering it, which is also cool.
Google search can be used as anything and everything. Google offers hidden services that can save you a lot of time if you know how to use them correctly. Here are a few examples of these tips and tricks.
1. Finding the time at any place in the world. Just search Time in *insert place here*.
2. Searching for synonyms. For example, if you put YouTube video ~tutorial (with the ~ in front of tutorial) Google will also search for YouTube video guide, manual, reference. etc.
3. Find the definition of any word. You put define *word* and the first thing that appears will be the definition.Ms. Shawn, if you are reading this far, leave a comment on this post.
4. In Google Chrome the link bar may be used as a search bar. This helps when you are too lazy to enter Google.com to find what you're looking for.
5. You can do mathematical problems in Google search. You can even graph things such as y=10x-5
6. Convert units. Search 10 kg in pounds, etc.
7. You can search images by dragging them into the search box.
This is already widely used by the educational society and will be used throughout Google's age of glory.

Google Day 2.3
Harvard University is one of the best in the most explored fields of education. Today I will research
Best Medical Schools and Harvard's Ranking
Best Law Schools and Harvard's Ranking
Best Medical Schools and Harvard's Ranking
Best Law Schools and Harvard's Ranking
Best Economic Schools and Harvard's Ranking
MEDICINE:
Top Universities
According to this page, Harvard is at the top with a stunning 97.9% effectivity. This ranking is based upon Academic reputation, Employer reputation and Citations per paper. The next university, Oxford, holds a 94% effectivity rate.
LAW
Top Universities
Again, Harvard is first with the same 97.9% effectivity. The same filters apply. However, Yale University is at second place with 93.7%.
Also, US News says that Harvard is second while Yale is first. Maybe they don't use the same filters.
ECONOMY
Top Universities
This time Harvard was outhroned by MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and holds the second place, with the same criteria, with a 92.4% effectivity. MIT stands at first with 96.6% effectivity.
After all this research we can see that Harvard is hands down the best university in the world, based on its sports (even though Stanford is better) and academic achievements.

Google 2.2
3 Goals For Today
1. Find out more about Harvard
2. Research its sports programs.
3. Recognized alumni.
Harvard
Harvard was founded in 1848 by John Harvard. It was the first school of high education in the United States and remains as the best university. It started out with a class of nine students with one master degree to more than 20000 students that can choose from 12 degree-granting schools. Harvard has 360 thousand living alumni across more than 190 countries.
The school's color is crimson This is because in 1853, the rowing team in Harvard gave crimson scarves to the rowers so that the students could identify their school. After one of these rowers (Eliot) became president in 1869, the color was made the school's official color.
The school shield is a crimson shield with the Latin VERITAS in three books. Veritas means truth. It was sketched in an Overseers meeting in 1644 and found in the College Archives by Josiah Quincy for the College's bicentennial. It still remains today.
Sports
Harvard Crimson is the official name of the sports program. They play in NCAA I and have lots of different and talented players in their fields. In the London 2012 Olympics, Harvard students won 2 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze medal. That is quite impressive and just shows the great capacity of the Harvard Crimson athletic program.

Recognized Alumni
Many important lawyers, presidents, activists, doctors, fashion designers and architects have studied at harvard.
