Answer:

Richard found less destructive ways to pull on rocks. He used a camera to take photographs from all sides of refrigerator-sized boulder.

Explanation:

In California, Richard wanted to discover how hard balanced rocks are to knock over. He used a steel cable and a gadget to measure exactly how much pulling was needed to bring down the boulder. Richard found less destructive ways to pull on rocks. He used a camera to take photographs from all sides of the refrigerator-sized boulder.

Then he used the computer to stitch the pictures into a three-dimensional model of the rock. Using this virtual rock, he concluded that the real rock would stay standing for another 18,000 years.

So, the author calls Richard Brune’s method “less destructive” than actually knocking over rocks.

What is your opinion of technology and its impact on our lives? Does technology improve or detract from our lives? Write an essa
Norma-Jean [14]

The invention of technology had made our life easier. Communication, work, and transportation had evolved over time. We no longer travel longer, we no longer has to work manually and there are so many gadgets and appliances to help improve our lifestyle.

Indeed, it had made our lives easier and better.

However, there were also downsides of its intrusion to human society. Children no longer play outside.  People have become lazy and would rather rely on technology for important things. People no longer see face to face, but rather on the screens of their smartphones, tablets, pads and computers.

Technology may have been one of the best things in life, but because of technology, we no longer appreciate the little things that life has to offer.

Why? <br>Radio Mullah puts in so much effort to discourage people from going to school?​
butalik [34]

Answer:

Because an uneducated population would be easier to manipulate.

Explanation:

Radio Mullah is an Islamic extremist featured in the book "I am Malala." In this book, we can see how he made the population believe that reading books, watching movies, dancing and even going to school were sinful things and would bring God's punishment in people's lives. Of all the things that Radio Mullah claimed were sinful, education was something he strove to fight, going so far as to bomb schools. The need to prevent people from studying existed because Radio Mullah needed the population to be easily manipulated and this would not be possible if people had education, as education promotes reasoning and right thinking, which prevents people from being manipulated.

Importantly, "I am Malala" is the book written by Malala Yousafzai, where she tells of the Taliban domination process in Afghanistan and how she fought to guarantee the right to education.

Why are rules important? (4 sentences long) (YOUR OWN IDEA)
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Hello!

Answer:

It really depends on what the rules are. For example, if they are rules in your parent's house, then it's to teach you responsibility and what to do and what not to do. If it's for class rules, it would be partly to make the students feel safe as well as to show respect. But rules, in general, teach us responsibility and safety.
