Delayed Gratification and the Stanford Experiment
Delayed gratification and the marshmallow experiment is just a series of testing from the 1960s to 1970s led by a psychologist named Walter Mischel.
In the studies a child was given a choice to have a small treat now or two small treats like 15 minutes later (when the experimenter came back).
The studies showed that the children that were able to wait longer for the bigger reward were more likely to have better life outcomes, ‘as measured in the SAT scores’
There was six hundred children in this experiment aging from four to six. A small number of them ate the treat as soon as it was given to them and two thirds of them that tried to wait failed.

Inference
1. Felila was exhausted
You could hear her paced heavy breathing going in and out. Her face was watery, every bead you could hear drip onto the soft dirt below. Everything was silent, but still the you could hear the continuous breathing. It was getting slower. Felila sat upon the ground with a thump. I thought she had gone limp.
2. Russell was hungry
Rolling his tongue inside of his mouth. He sat laying down on the side of hole which he had fallen in through his night walk. He scraped the sides to get out but it was no use he couldn't, it was impossible. Slowly he could feel his mouth watering it to a loud bbbblllluuu before he regained consciousness. Sitting upon a pond of reflux acid. His stomach grumbled, he thought to himself will I ever be able to get out.

Inference
1. Caine was addicted to computer gaming
His Mum was telling him to get off the computer and do his chores he would only speak of
"One minute, nearly finished, I'll do it soon!"
Finally his mother grew up the courage to say
"NO! Stop now, your grounded for the month! I have had enough of this nonsense!"
"Whatever mum I'll do it when I want to do it, you're not the boss of me!"]
Ripping out the power plug Caine's Mum the room.
2.Maia felt sick
Maia bent over clenching her stomach, her face went pale, you could see her eyes starting to water. As soon as she stood up she dropped to the ground with vigorous speed "aaaahhhh chhhoo" snot flung all around the room, she sniffed the rest of the snot dipping from her nose up. She ran downs stairs struggling to keep herself up shouting "Mum, Mum" She only made into the kitchen before her mouth started watering and something was building up.

XO Laptop
XO Laptop
The Xo laptop is a new laptop that can swivel its screen 360 degrees. It was designed to help children in “developing” countries around the world. This laptop is also known as the $100 laptop. These laptops are teaching people how to understand the concept of marketing . In the sunlight you can still see the screen clear as it has a certain screen that has been genetically modified for that reason. They have flash memory instead of a hard drive. It has been designed to be cheap to buy as many is needed for the countries that have a lower economical rating. And as seen in the image to the Left < there is a pope receiving a XO laptop.

Who am I?
I have a cement base that is continuously being strained by the weight of passengers. There is glass covering the majority of me.
I bend and twist by the force of the wind against me. I used to live in America, New York, Manhattan.
I was destroyed or relocated in 2001 and my height was an achievement towards man making the highest building.

Augmented Reality
Augmented Reality
Augmented reality also known as AR is a smudged line between real and computer generated by enhancing what we smell see feel and hear.
One example is televisions, as now they are trying and succeeding to bring out the televisions graphics into your living room like the newest televisions. You could put a live recording on you television where you can add things to make your appearance or surroundings different but if someone were to look at you away from the T.V they would not be able to see what you have done to your appearance or surroundings.
That is augmented reality.
Augmented reality could be just making a video of you say tapping a table in different spots then once you have recorded that you add in buttons under your fingers and when you tap it goes down and makes a sound. Using that you could make a really cool beat or anything you desire from something simple.
Here are some pictures of augmented reality
