  In looking at the news this morning, the first thing I noticed was the headline, Washington "One-China" Policy Dead As Pompeo Lifts Restrictions On US-Taiwan Relations. While this move will certainly have broad geopolitical implications for Taiwan and the rest of the Asia Pacific region, especially China, the timing is particularly interesting to me because it exactly aligns with what I told my students in September, 2020, was likely to happen in January or February of 2021 based on the outflow of events that I was noticing at the time. And if this pattern persists, I’m guessing that another headline soon to follow (aside from China once again threatening Taiwan) is likely to be news of a power shift taking place at the highest level of the Chinese Communist Party, the CCP. As far as storylines go, bad news for the emperor isn’t necessarily a bad thing.           As for the US, I guess that the news is also going to be getting better and ...

 

 

   

Driverless cars can lesson traffic congestion, deliver things and  save lives. Will driverless cars be good  for Taiwan or bad for Taiwan?  Personally, I think that driverless cars will be very good for Taiwan because Taiwan has a lot of traffic congestion, people like to shop on line a lot  and  some people don't know how to drive very well. For example, as driverless cars can communicate with the other driverless cars, all of the cars will know what each car is going to do. This will lesson traffic congestion because all of the cars will be communicating and working together. Additionally, because so many people shop online and order food online, driverless trucks can deliver packages 24 hours a day. This will save time, save money and reduce traffic congestion. Finally, as all of the cars and trucks will know what each other is going to do, there will be fewer accidents. This will save lives. This is my opinion on driverless cars. Thank you for reading.

I am certain that we will see many new technologies in the future. However, I think that the three most important technologies will be artificial intelligence, Cyborg technology and space travel technology. The reason I think artificial intelligence will be an important technology is because the human mind is very outdated and needs an upgrade. That's right, humans already are part AI. The problem is, our AI is old fashion and in need of an upgrade. This is why human consciousness in now designing and building new and improved AI systems and synthetic bodies. Therefore, I think we should plan on everything changing.

 I am sure we will have many new technologies in the future. However, I think the three most important technologies will be  artificial intelligence ,   (name of the technology) and (name of the technology). The reason I think  artificial intelligence will be an important technology is because AI can help humans to live better lives and to care for earth. Therefore, I think we should plan to live together with AI robots as partners and friends in equality. As for flying cars, I think they will be an important technology because it will change the way people travel. For example, with flying cars, there will no longer be the need for millions of kilometers of roads. Instead, we can use this space for trees. Therefore, I think we should plan to have flying cars and a lot more forests in the future. Picture of 2nd technology Finally, I think     (write the name of the 3rd technology)    will be an important technology because (say why it wil...
