Hiya!
Moving on to a new theme, I would like to talk about military technology.
Does anybody but me think it's crazy how the media manages to put our military business out on front street?
Back during WWII no one was allowed to talk about troop deployment, new technology, etc. I remember my mom saying that she would get letters home from my dad when he was in the war and they would have lines blacked out with big magic marker where he might have told her anything in the letter that could give away his location.
Now we have CNN and everybody knows what's going on the very minute it's happening.
*stepping off soap box now*
So along those lines, go view this Kiplinger article and click through some of the coming military technology. For credit this week you will pick one of these technologies and tell us how it can save lives in the field. "It's cool" will not garner you any credit. Not now, not ever.
Read Tuesday, blog Thursday.

i like the meshwork camera because you could send it to enemy territory and find out when bombings and etc would take place.. because no one would think twice about looking for a camera on worms.

I really think the Robot Mules are very useful in saving lives. The Robot Mules are very useful in saving lives because it can carry heavier gear that can slow down soldiers on the field.
Kevin Mitchell, 1st
The meshworm would save many lives because it would replace a soldier. With the meshworm no soldier would ever have to take the risk of sneaking across enemy lines to obtain information.
Stroup 1st
I like the advanced bipedal robots because the military can use those to 'enter buildings in danger zones or to bring emergency medical supplies across battle zones' without putting their own lives in danger.
-Marium Choudhry 1st
i like the space based laser its bascailly a leaser beam pointed to anything and it would destroy it from a few thousand miles away but it would do it from space
geovanni alfaro 1st
i think the meshworm thing is the coolest and by far one of the most effective military inventions because its nearly indestructible and undetectable
Nolan-1st
I like the Flybot because sometimes soliders are sent to places that are extremely to dangerous for them and the flybot can simply fly into the place and see whats going on.
brooke Whitaker 1st
I think that the rock em' sock em' robot would be good for saving lives in the fields, because it enters danger zones and bring medical supplies across the battle field to help wound.
Reyes-1st
I chose the Robot Mule. It carries gear and heavy material. I think it can save lives in the fields by letting soliders be able to move more and faster without having to carry heavy stuff on there backs.
Raven R. Moore, 2nd
I chose the meshworm because noone would ever think twice about a camera on a worm. It would also save a soldier's life. Instead of sendinga soldier to spy, the worm can be used in action instead.
Hailey Woods-2
The Flybot is an incredible new piece of technology. The Flybot engineers say it could also be used to find hidden chemical bombs! that would most definitely save lives

The Meshworm would really help on the field because it can move silently into the tiniest places to report back data, such as temperatures inside a confined space. It can also record audio and maybe even video in future versions,so that way we can see what other people are planning. However if someone tries to step on the worm, we'll be in a little bit of trouble...
Emily Wallace 2nd
The Live Fire Trainers would be very helpful on the fields. Becuase if they were to be used, they could be a distraction so that the real soldiers could take down the enemy.

i like the idea of the fly camera because its so small with just a little camaflage you would neverpay attention to it even if you did see it. if i was flying it id make sure to stay away from people or frogs or mr. miyagi!

I believe the meshworm could save a couple of lives , because of the information it can obtain. for example: they can slither around in to the enemies land and get confidential information need for safety and attacking and what not.
I chose the Microwave ray gun. That thing is kinda scary. If the army decides to ramp that thing up and turn our brains to jelly, not cool. And loud sounds give me a headache as it is and I don't like unnecissary loudness. Anyway back to what will give me a better grade. If the army take out an entire base with the one ray instead of alot of U.S. soldiors, that is a good thing.

Robots that Mimic Human Movement
is a good and a bad invention. It will help us if they know right from wrong. because if they dont they will turn on us and kill us all. This invention if in the right hands will save lives
Delton Scott2nd
if they turn the military into a robotic army what if they turn on us what will we do?
I think the Robot Mules is cool because its good at saving lives and can also slow down soilders on the field.

I like the meshworm because it could be of so much use to the military.. Plus its indestructible so you wouldnt have to worry about it not working.
Tyvan Tipps, 2nd
I like the flybot.The tiny robotic fly can be sent in areas too dangerous for soldiers, including places with biological weapons or places contaminated by chemicals that can possibly harm a solider .
Gabriel Garrett 2
The Meshworm is a great idea, it can help spy on enemies,prevent terrorism attacks, bombs, and so much more. The great thing about it is that it's undestructable, and plus, people aren't going to be looking at worms and checking if they are spying on them.
Eddie Ramirez - 2nds
The Live-Fire trainers could be really helpful because it gives an actual look at how enemies, assassins or terrorists may look like. Which is alot better than the wooden targets.
Ka'Lyn Gladney 2nd
I think that the Microwave Ray Gun.
It would save many lives being that instead of sending in soilders to stop a issue and risk their live the ray gun can end and issue or stop it for a moment.
Woodson~2nd
My absolute favorite is the Rock 'Em,Sock 'Em alien and i cant even lie right now the reason that I chose it is because of the fact that it has voice command and I could so totally use that to my advantage. As far as being used in the field it could be used to go into danger zones and carry out dangerous task that could get other people hurt. I'll be sure to have him up and running when i say "GET IN THERE AND MAKE ME A SAMICH"! The endless possibilities....muahahahahaha!
Mikaela Period 2<3
i choose the Robot Mules because it will run fast in a way. also it can carry alot of heavy gear that other people couldnt carry all in one time. so i would say that the robot mule is a life saver to anyone.
-Karen Torres 2nd
As a lover of the Sci-fi i would haft to say its about time we got more into space exlporeation so I am happy about this space based laser. futher on from just taking the next step in to space exploration this laser could save may lives due to it being able to take out targets from space!
and its cool!
Grayson Skidmore 2nd
the terminator thing looks cool but if they turn the military into a robotic army what if they turn on us, what will we do?
-Andrew Gipson, 2nd
The space laser would be very helpful in destroying harmful missles.
Fernando Rodriguez, 6th Period
The Robot Mule is pretty unique! It can carry people and luggage! And it's very quiet, which could be useful for when you're moving from save zones, to non safe zones at night!
Kayleyne Beighey, Period 6
I find the Flybot a berry interesting equipment its a really tiny camera shaped as a dragonfly i think its a very smart invention
Cruz-6
When it comes to military stuff I try to keep myself separated from the whole topic because I have this idea in my head that the less I know the more innocent I am to the dangerous world around us *cue the rainbow and unicorns*. That being said I think that any technology that could potentially save anyone that is fighting for the safety of the country is amazing in my book. Like that little mesh worm. Like I always think of spies that try to like get information but then get caught and tortured. But there would be no need for that to happen when you can just send in a little wormy thingy! Just saying you could save alot of spies lives and let them spy on other thinbgs like famous people! I mean I dont know about you but I really want to know what really goes on in Ke$has life... just me? ok..
Miranda Cheever 6th
I think the Flybot is really usefull to the military becasue its able to go, to dangerous places where soldiers arnt able to go, especially places where theres chemicals and other type of toxic stuff its also helps out the soldier because the Flybot is able to spot hidden boms and well this is why i like the Flybot
Cruz-6
Space-Based laser is cool because it can destroy rockets from space its points a beam to its target and destroys it.
Anthony Martinez
7th period
I like the fly bot because its able to go in dangerous areas that could effect soliders, and collect data, videos, and other intel without the cost of soliders lives.
Hill 7th
Space-Based Laser can save lives in the field by destroying a missile from outer space or from the ground.
Reyes 7th
i like the robot mules because they are going to be able to really help out our troops while they are in the field. they won't have to carry those heavy packs themselves which will allow them to move easier and faster.
untiedt, 7th
The microwave ray gun is life saving because if your the kind of person who doesnt want to kill, then this gun is just for you.
Vazquez, Manuel 7th
I am choosing the Live-Fire Trainers. I believe they would save lives because they are a much more realistic target for the soldiers to train with therefore making the soldiers more accurate.
Marisol Alvarado- 7th period
Even though the Robotic Mule is primarily used to carry heavy cargo such as backpacks, it could potentially save lives in the field. It is also intended to follow a military unit of soldiers autonomously, catching up with the unit on field forays with supplies, including food and ammunition. Refinements have made the robot surprisingly quiet. So if there was a wounded soldier the mule could quietly carry him or her to safety.
Marisol Alvarado- 7th period
the space based laser is a life saver since if another country lets say north korea decided to try bombing everyone one could simpy laser them down from space!!! how sweet is that.. or if a asteroid wer to treaten earth they could shoot it down saving our lifes!!!
corpus 7th
I Think The Robot Mule Could Help The Soldier Alot Because It Can Carry The Heavy Things They Usually Carry On There Backpack So They Can Be Quicker In Reacting.
Espino, 7th
I think the Meshworm could help the military a bunch. this gives them the ability to spy on the enemy.
denerrell jones 7th
I like the rock'em sock'em robots. It could be sent into the battle field with medical supplies for wounded soldiers on the battlefield. This would save a great number of lives in battles of wars.
Tyler Johnston, 7th
The meshworm is pretty awesome. It would save many lives also. Obtaining information from behind enemy lines is extremely dangerous for humans..but not for worms
McShan -7th
I think that the meshworm is amazing because its completely made out of fibers so it cant be destroyed and could save lives by being in instead of an actual person.
Villarreal 7th
i think the fly bot is a great i dea is becouse how it looks and the thought that it use solar cells for fuel is incredebel to me

The meshworm is straight yolo because it can bring back data silently and it would helpa people a ton. In conclusion the meshworm has the upmost swagger.
Courtney - 7
i like the robot that can mimic human movement it can help save lives because it can be just as capable as a regular soldier and provide medical care or help in the fight
thomas mcclendon 7th
I think the Microwave Ray Gun is really awesome! I think it could help save lives because of the sounds it gives off, it could easily distract anyone. I would use it because it seems like something annoying and it would be reall fun to use! :)
Rogers Kelsey 8
I think that the Live-Fire Trainers
would be able to save lives because of how no one is involved in the fight, just controlling the dummy.
Alan Fuentes-8
I Like the Microwave Ray Gun, it works so much better than rubber pellets cuz they hurt the other like hes going crazy. Hurts pople with a headache and even controling a riot with just a few shots with a ray gun. Outstanding!
Landeros 8th
the Microwave Ray Gun can prevent soldiers or cops from having to kill people.
Cody Swink 8th period
..
I think the microwave gun could save lives because it doesn't kill anyone. It basically is a bullet of annoying sound.
Seannah,8th
The Flybot would be really successful in saving lives due to the fact that it can be sent on
reconnaissance missions in areas too dangerous for soldiers, including places contaminated by chemical or biological weapons;
the Flybot engineers say it could also be used to find hidden chemical bombs.
Maggie King, 8th
The FlyBot is soooo sick! This tiny robotic fly will be sent on reconnaissance missions in areas too dangerous for soldiers and could save their lives!
Caymon Cowart

I thought the meshworm camera was incredibly cool and would be very effective in saving lifes on the field. The meshworm could travel ahead and send back warning of approaching enemies or dangerous areas up ahead.
Faith Deckard 8th
I think the Flybot could potentially save lives on the battlefield in the future. It could be use to send it to places where it is much too dangerous for our troops to go into, including places with chemical and or biological weaponry. Defnintely something to look into for future warfare.
Santoyo, 8th
the robot fly would give them many benefits without having to lose a soldier out in the field in a dangerous task.
antonioidalia 8th
I think the Meshworm thing would savee aloooot of lives. It looks and moves like an actual earthworm. It can move quietly and into the tinest places and report back data which would really help the military know ahead of time what to prepare for.
Coulston 8th Pd.
The "Robot Mules" would help save many lives in the field.They can take wounded soilders back to their base or they can also carry medications and first aid kits.
Noriand Marrero 8Th Period
graded
eany of the robot technology would save lives. if robots could start taking the places of humans in the field there would be less human fatalities. you may have alot of robot junk parts laying around tho.

I like the Flybot because it would help soldiers know if somewhere was dangerous before they went in.
Justin Wharton 8
There is this new military techonology that is a robot that mimics human movement in order to reinact the stress of soldiers' clothing. This enables designers to be able to design clothes that are specifically designated for soldiers in combat.
Geetha Pokala-8th Period
i really like the robot mules because it would help put soliders that are being slow down because they have to carry their own gear.
Maryori Giron
2nd period
Flybot can save lives by going into danergous places and finding chemical bombs
Watson 8
I think the Robotic mule is probably the most efficient and capable of saving lives in a battlefield since it could just as easily be used as defensive cover or an improvised ambulance for soldiers.
