"There would be no LeBron James, no Kobe Bryant, no Dwayne Wade if there wasn't Michael Jordan first.” (Windhorst) This man was giving up a number he wore since high school, and this is usually harder for players because they take pride in their number. This did not matter to James. He deeply cared about this Legend’s impact on the sport, and wanted to commemorate what he did. That is what nice people do, they understand their roots, and give credit to those before them. Whether it was furthering kids education, addressing kids dropping out, or paying homage to Jordan, LeBron continuously displayed his niceness to others.
He compares and contrasts how his life was with the Web and without it.

As for now I can’t think of any attainable technologies that could be invented to be formative in the future because it would have probably be invented already. However; if possible, the invention of teleporting and time travel machine could really make a change in the future. It could save the government a lot of most in transportations.
Inherently, Australia is a multicultural society and each person should have a right of feeling welcome. Rutton (2013: 10) reports that he has witnessed discrimination based upon race in Australia. If the changes are effected, then people from other races will be subject to humiliation, just because of their race. The proposed changes makes unlawful acts that will intimidate by means of causing fear or physical violence.

Most people find reading books easier so don’t some people like me because I prefer researching on the internet to searching for stuff in the library. Some people will support Carr by saying that the internet really makes us dumber but I’m on the opposite side because I defiantly think it makes as smarter especially with this technology that keeps improving as years come.
