Theodore Roosevelt

In 1913,  Theodore Roosevelt went to South America to visit his son, Kermit, who was living in South America at the time.  The reason he went to visit his son was because he was upset by the fact he lost the election in 1913, which was the after the third time he was elected president. While he was in Brazil with his son and Candido Rondon  and some of his men they went exploring on the River of Doubt. many people did not believe that Roosevelt and Rondon could chart the river of Doubt,but they sure proved those people wrong.The river was named this because it had been explored a few years before, but not explored thoroughly making it an unknown trip for anyone who was exploring.

   

Theodore Roosevelt was in his mid-50’s when he made this journey. The trip was long and difficult. Many of the men had malaria and it was almost fatal for them, including Teddy and Kermit. While Theodore had malaria and was overcome by pain he thought about injecting himself with morphine to end his pain, but his son talked him out of it. Other men did die during that journey, the group they went exploring with even had a murderer within their midst. Indian tribes attacked them and they had to survive dangerous waters, and canoes that didn’t even float well they had bought from the natives. People thought that everything the group had encountered was bad well Theodore Roosevelt might have thought this was the one of the worst things yet, during the evening while they were settling in for the night a snake fell out of a tree and bit Roosevelt in the foot, thankfully he had a leather boot on and it none of the venom got into his body.

Their journey on the River of Doubt was 1,000 miles long, a long distance for not knowing exactly how long or where you were going to end up at. After the long and dangerous trip the river was renamed the river  Roosevelt and a branch of he river was named the River Kermit after Teddie’s eldest son. Eventually Teddy and Kermit made it back to New York with minimal damage, however President Roosevelt thought that the malaria would take ten years of life out of him and he actually did end up passing away about ten years later.

New Technology

A new emerging technology is a car that parks itself,called the park assist feature , you just have to get the car to the pull the car up to the parallel parking space and it will pull in to the space for you. Only Ford cars have that feature as of right and not all of their vehicles have this only the 2012 Explorer, 2012 Escape, 2012 Flex, 2012 Focus. This technology was introduced in 2009 by Ford and is now more affordable because most of their models have this feature. It was cause less accidents when pulling into and out of a parking lot.

Jean Hoerni

Jean Hoerni was  remembered for developing the planar process. The planar transistor  was fundamental to the development of practical integrated circuits and universally in transistor fabrication. He also contributed to the founding of integrated circuits. He determined that the silicon-oxide  film on the silicon wafers from which the transistors were cut would reduce the contamination of the plagued production. He really helped the country it was first used in the military and then it was for industrial use as well.

    Jean Hoerni invented the microchip I know everything that has to do with technology has a microchip without a microchip nothing would keep memory. Microchips are in computers, telephones, cell phones, and other thing. Most of the things we do, have to do with electronics and without a microchip I don;t know what we  would do without them.
