            In the article "Are Exoskeletons the future of Physical Labor?" by Lauren Goode it discusses the future of manual labor and how exoskeletons can affect manual labor dramatically by making it a much easier task than it is now. A major company such as Ford has started taking an interest towards exoskeletons and it seems that the question whether exoskeletons are the future of physical labor will now be answered as it is becoming a reality. Paul Collin's is a worker for Ford who has been beta testing an exoskeleton vest that was created by Ekso Bionics Collin's stated then when returning he has much more energy because of the help of the exoskeleton vest. There are still errors although that need to be fixed such as the injury of one specific body part the shoulder. Another exoskeleton product was used with a paralyzed man and it enabled him to get up and walk. The companies creating these exoskeletons are focusing on building more smarter and more connected exoskeletons for the elderly. But in all exoskeletons would have a big impact towards manual labor and other problems people face. I myself am excited for what the exoskeleton would do  and bring for the manual labor that people do. Exoskeletons can also affect many other areas not just manual labor the exo suits can be used to go places that a person them self cannot go in since it may be harmful to them this is the reason to look forward to the future exoskeletons would create.

In lesson 10 we were required to create a game called Color Sleuth. In the game basically there are four similar colors and the objective is to choose the color that is different to the rest of them. While we coded the game in App Lab and made finishing touches to it we then were required to put it in on a webpage so it can be seen in our portfolio. Placing on the webpage allowed viewers to play the game so people can see if th...

The first W was Why CTE students need WBL Workshops. We need these workshops so we can learned of what is required to be able to achieve a CTE diploma and not fall behind in anything that we have not completed.

The image of myself was suppose to go  before the paragraph. Now to add an image to an HTML code, the image tag needs to be included in the code. Also the image source has to be included which can be done if the image is dragged into the software it is lines of codes are. The dimensions of the image can be manipulated by setting the height and width. Actually, only one valu...
