Yes! I would go because i never know what type of things that i may find that may be interesting or worth millions back here on planet earth. I would love to go but i wouldn't go by myself because it's just way to dangerous. By going to another planet you take big risk like knowing that their is a possibility that i could get lost and never find my way back, or i can run into some strange things that i think are cool but the could really harm me. But yes i would go because i want to experience what it's like on another earth or maybe even tell people what it's like to be on my planet and bring back some cool things like they may have money that doesn't like ours and back here on planet earth their money could be WORTH MILLIONS!! So yes i would go on a voyage to another planet.

Assignment 5 Printing Press Vs. Modern Invention
The printing press was an old invention that helped back in the 15th Century. It was invented by Johann Gutenberg it helped make books cheaper and it help people learn faster it also improved the knowledge in the society back then before the printing press was invented everything that was even read back int he 15th Century was HANDWRITTEN which took many long years. It was also a part of Martin Luthers 95 Thesis and other parts of the Reformation. It is sometimes used a reference to social, and political change. Eventhough the printing press was helpful when it was invented it had its limits on being used because they had so many things to send out and remake from when they were handwritten they would sometimes not use it.
The Modern Invention
A modern invention that has been made that has changeed society and made the population of Knowledge better would be the internet. And why? Becuase the internet has helped in so many ways because it helps you find out what you are looking for if their is something that you can't find in a book or something then you can find it on the internet. The internet has so many sites to find things on that you wouldn't find it neccessary to have a book or any other type of resource although the net won't always help you but 95% of the time you will find what you need on the internet.

Carpe Diem
I would say that i have been taught to live in the present because the future is NOT PROMISED. So yes i would agree with Carpe Diem because not only is the future not promised but who knows you could look back on the past and see that you have done some pretty foul things but everything has worked out but you are still alive, you are with your family i wouldn't say you don't have any worries because it all depends on what kind of a person you are. Some people think that what they done in the past will reflect their future but that is not true at all. Say like you stole a piece of candy when you were little what kind of consequences did you suffer besides getting in trouble with your mama or daddy?? NONE it doesn't go on your permanent record or anything you were a child who didn't know any better. It's kind of like some people are today i see some people who are so worried about getting into a big college and cry about making B's on papers I MEAN REALLY!! What can a B do to your average?? And they think that if they don't make straight A's then they aren't going to get into the college that they have been dreaming about. It's okay everything isn't made to go our way we have to take what we can get. So in saying all of this i think that we should live today for tomorrow is NOT PROMISED.
