BELLRINGER 4-24

We can not blame violent video games and the internet everytime there is a shooting or some idiot goes on a rampage. As a kid I played violent video games and I still do to this day but yet I'm not shooting every person that gets in my way. Yes, I fight with my brother but thats how brother and sister relationships work. I think that what really inspired his shooting sprea was either a very VERY disfunctional family as a child or anger toward school mates/neighborhood kids from his youth. Violent video games and the internet can not be blamed for everything that happens because being honest there were big shootings before the internet and violent video games, who was to blame then??

Bellringer 4-18

I think the most important invention was the grain harvester because there was a lot of grain grown in Europe. It probably made picking grain a lot easier then it had been before. Also it required less workers so that put more money in the land owners pocket.

Corn Picker

     As our project, we decided to build a corn picker. These were invented quite a while ago. It is an amazing how much a simple invention like this advanced the agricultural process. It was made in 1850 by a man named Edmund Quincy. This was on of the most helpful creations around this time. It also helped make picking corn much quicker.       This machine was invented because of the lack of workers on Quincy's farm. He needed a way to pick corn quickly using very few people. After a few prototypes along came the corn picker but since back then it has evolved quite a bit. This machine now pushes over the corn, sucks up the stalk, peels the corn from it and the corn is dropped into a truck driving beside it. The stalk is then shot out the back of the machine. This makes picking corn much simpler and requires less people.
