Manifesto

Key to Dominance 

I believe that impartial education is the gateway to a superior world.

People are easily manipulated! if they are prevented from learning the entire story. We humans have a natural urge to learn all that we can.

It is our biological advantage over the rest of the animal kingdom. We have been able to survive, thrive, and reach unimaginable heights by using our minds! We have become so powerful that our only remaining predators worth fearing are nature’s forces and ourselves.

Natural disasters, diseases, and humans threatening nuclear war are what will extinguish our species and all our accomplishments. The sole reason humans have risen to such summits and become the dominant species is rooted in our freedom to think, learn, and generate new and revolutionary ideas!

Any hindrance in the flow of knowledge is a sin against the human race. No matter what that knowledge is, if not everyone has the ability to learn about it, then we are automatically at a disadvantage. It is in the interest of humans to spread knowledge due to the fact that everyone will have a different view on that knowledge, and some views will be more paramount than others.

Those crucial ideas cannot be heard if the flow of knowledge is impeded! Many issues will be solved and others will arise, but these new issues will be less primal, less violent, and more civilized. Impartial education will pave the road to a better world.

I decided on an electronic format based on the fact that my manifesto is about education and progress, and if it were not electronic it would be sort of ironic. The red font evokes a little more passion and is eye grabbing, the words in black font are more significant words and are meant to stand out for added meaning. The indentations are just a more attention seeking look to the manifesto in order to draw the reader in. The appearance of the manifesto is meant to be attention grabbing and give exaggerated meaning to certain words for added effect.

Tech Review

Kindle Fire

            I received a Kindle Fire as a gift about three years ago. The Kindle Fire is about 300 dollars cheaper than an iPad. It is smaller, has about the same quality screen resolution, but only has WiFi. The battery life is good too; it can last at least a good six to eight hours. Amazon does not have as many applications on its online store, but your Amazon account is linked with the Kindle and you can access the Amazon store to buy items other than applications, which Apple does not have.  At first, I used the Kindle for games and other random applications. After becoming bored with the games, I bought some e-books off the online store and started to read them. I am not much of a reader, but using the Kindle helped me read more and more. It was more convenient to search for books, I could read the reviews of other readers, and the other readers had ranked the books from one to five stars which was helpful when searching for a book to read. The e-books are also a lot cheaper than regular books, and usually priced around three to seven dollars unless they are new to the store they are. It is easy to read the books too, because there are options to change the page color from white to sepia to black to make it easier on the eyes, as well as the font size.
            Overall, I enjoy using the Kindle Fire. It is easy to navigate, and is more convenient to read books, even though it may not have as many applications as an iPad. It is also takes up less space in my bag if I am going to read more than one book on a trip.
