Technology Haiku

By John P. Curtin

2002

John P. Curtin (1967-2012) was a writing professor at DePaul University. He also led bike tours in Seattle, and on one trip he crashed and broke his neck, leaving him paralyzed. He wrote the following poem using a voice-activated computer program when he was asked to show how poetry can communicate information. As you read, note the speaker’s specific examples of technology and how they compare to one another.



[1] Knowledge and tools:

Chariot into auto;

Stick into shovel.



It is as simple

As a spoon or as complex

[6] As the space shuttle.



Once it was the wheel.

Now it is the microchip.

[9] What will it be next?



PART A: Which of the following best identifies the theme of the poem?

A.
We cannot predict the future.

B.
Technology is helpful and continues to develop.

C.
More advanced technology is more important than simple inventions.

D.
New inventions do not make things better

Answers

Answer 1
C................C....
Answer 2

The theme of the poem is more advanced technology is more important than simple inventions. Hence option C is correct.

What is theme?

A theme is defined as an idea, notion, or lesson that conveys a moral lesson through a text's characters, surroundings, dialogue, plot, or other elements. Rather than the narrative or the summary, there is something a little deeper at work here. A theme links a text's action to a key idea about how things really are.

In numerous ways, inventions enhance our lives. They facilitate our work, amuse us, broaden our worldview, and occasionally even save lives. A machine's capacity to learn and act intelligently is referred to as artificial intelligence, or AI, and machine learning. This means that robots are able to make decisions, perform tasks, and even predict the future based on what they learn from data.

Thus, the theme of the poem is more advanced technology is more important than simple inventions. Hence option C is correct.

Think of all the accessibility amenities you've gotten used to seeing since July 26, 1990, the day the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law: Wheelchair ramps leading into government buildings; Support rails in restroom stalls; ATM keypads and elevator buttons in Braille.

Despite these improvements, people with disabilities still struggle in many areas, including one you might not think much about: clothing.

Cute Canes, Like Eyeglass Frames

Liz Jackson spends a lot of time thinking about the intersection of fashion and disability. She's a trim, tomboyish 33-year-old with a Jimmy Neutron pompadour, and she limps — sometimes a lot.

Back in 2012, she fell out of bed and ended up in the hospital, emerging three days later with a cane, prescription eyeglasses and a diagnosis of idiopathic neuropathy, an autoimmune condition that weakens the nerves in her arms and legs.

"One of the sensations I have is that run-down feeling [you get] before you get sick," Jackson says. "I have that all the time because my body is continuously fighting something."

“Malala’s crusade empowered her and other girls. Her courage gave hope to thousands.”

‘It will ensure young people have the chance to fulfill their God-given potential, regardless of their background, or gender, or station in life.”

“Michelle and I were proud to welcome this remarkable young woman to the Oval Office last year.”

Answers

Part A can be answered by the sentence "Both texts focus on why Malala is an inspiration to others." Part B, in turn, can be answered by the sentences “Malala’s crusade empowered her and other girls. Her courage gave hope to thousands" and ‘It will ensure young people have the chance to fulfill their God-given potential, regardless of their background, or gender, or station in life.”

Who is Malala?She is a Pakistani girl.She is an activist for equal education for all genders.She was threatened and attacked by the Taliban.She survived the attack and continues to fight for her right to education.

The Taliban attack almost resulted in Malala's death and was a very violent attack that could scare and demotivate anyone. However, Malala was a very brave girl who knew that her duty was to fight and speak for all those who do not have access to quality education.

Malala's story is an inspiration to all people, who feel unmotivated to follow their duties and responsibilities.

Answers

Answer:

Society effects our body in many ways. Trends, body standards, health articles, an image of what we all should look like, and many more. Girls get bullied and body shamed if we are overweight, underweight, skinny. Society started making a beauty standard that has caused girls to be insecure about their body and to get very sick from the extreme diets they put themselves through. This doesn't just happen to girls but to boys too. If a guy is too tall then he will be bullied but if he's too short then no one will pay attention to them. Weight is another thing that boys have to deal with too, They can't be too thin because then their weak but they can't be too muscular or else they will be ignored. Society made people overthink and become insecure about their bodies just because they made a beauty standard. In the time we live in today people are starting to break that vision of beauty to just be who you are and not something society wants you to be. This beauty revolution will take time to set into reality but when that time comes the world will be filled we gorgeous and unique people. Why make everyone the same when we can all just be who we were born to be?

Read the excerpt from “Husky-The Wolf Dog of the North.”

In the summertime, when the snow and ice are gone and man travels by canoe and poling-boat, the huskies are thrown upon their own resources. They do not work; wherefore should they be fed? Hence they become splendid scavengers and perform prodigies of benevolence in the matter of sanitation. Nothing escapes them. Not a bone but is cracked for its marrow; not a tin can but shines clean and bright on the inside. They are also excellent fishers, and during the salmon run, no dog goes hungry.

A. consume more food during the winter.

Recently, some local high schools have decided to change to a later start time, 8:30 am, based on studies saying teenagers need more sleep to be more effective in school. Would you want to come to school later if it meant having to stay later? Why or why not? Please write a 7 sentence response.

Answers

Answer:

I would, yes because more sleep is healthy, and you'd be more awake in the morning when school time comes around. The average kid needs at least 8 hours of sleep a night. This being said, if kids have to get up at, say 6AM to catch the bus in the morning, and they went to bed a little late they might not be rested enough. Another point is school starts incredibly early in the morning, and you are always tired for the first few periods. Having later school times would solve this, as you could wake up a little later, feel more well rested. Later school hours also gives kids the chance to wake up more by the time first period starts. Later school hours might even benefit teachers in some ways as well.

Yes I would definitely choose that even if I just stay at school later I don’t really care because if I get more sleep I will have more energy during the day and so I’ll be able to get my work done a lot easier even though it means that I have to stay at school a little later it’s definitely worth it
