Mike Roberts, Mcdonalds fast food president, resigned yesterday surprisingly. He has not gave a reason yet for leaving the worlds largest hamburger chain. He was a major part of Mcdonalds big business boost almost four years ago, but the new president seems like a more perfect fit. Because of the inflation on every day needs, such as petroleum, less and less people are eating out. Which is why there is a concerning low in restauraunt sales.

first assignment

Computers are arguably the greatest technological advancement since the wheel. In the last decade, they have made life in the modern society much easier. We can now do everything from our home. Shop, research, chat, download movies and music, and even find out the weeks weather forcast, at the comfort of our own home. There are some complaints about computers however. Because we can do everything from our home, we lose personal contact with other human beings. America is also the fattest country in the world, basically because we rather play video games on the computer instead of exercising. Computers(mostly microsoft) are well known to crash at the worst times. This leads to frustration and waste of time. In the next decade, computers will only improve. By 2020, computers will be able to do whatever we want. I can't even imagine the possibilities that computers will be able to do. The world will experience a whole new generation of technological advances in the future.
