thomas jefferson high school for science and technology

A high school located in Northern Virginia, known as TJ or TJHSST. Focuses on science and technology. Applicants must take an admissions test consisting of an English and math portion. This is compared on a sliding scale with their GPA, and if these scores are above the cut off they make it to the second round, which requires an essay and teacher recommendations. A large number of asians attend this school. The class of 2012 was the first class where asians were actually the majority, instead of caucasians.

Has a reputation of being bad at sports because there football and basketball teams are not very good. But actually their boys soccer, cross country, crew, swimming, and several other sports have all won either states or nationals recently.

Rated by US News & World Report as the number 1 high school in the country.
Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology is a really spirited high school since kids choose to be there.

A high school located in Baltimore County. A magnet schook, it has various focus programs based on the individual student's preference. But a magnet must be chosen before the student enrolls. You must also apply.

A side note: Basically run by its non-existent princpial Richard Jester, seeing as how I've only seen the man 7 times since 2006 (My freshman year). Ran by the Class of 2010. All other graduating classes bow to us. As simple as that.
"Yo, where you go to school at?"

"Western Tech a.k.a 2010's chill spot."

"O yea, I heard that yall run dat school."

"Damn straight nigga...Western Tech (Western School of Technology and Environmental Science)"

Technology

With newer technology, the auto industry didnt improve and make wolves and grizzlies to go with the cougars, and theres no lions, tigers, cheetahs, or leopards to go with Jaguars, instead they got names like vibe, flex, and solstice now. The auto industries in other countries are laughing at these names.
Technology changes are not always improvements.

Impact on learning through technology

For students, this means access to everything from research materials and educational apps to interactive edutainment and open resources from prestigious universities around the world technology can help students by making learning more engaging and collaborative. Rather than memorizing facts, students learn by doing and through critical thinking. This could be as simple as taking an interactive quiz in class or participating in tech-enabled group discussions. Or it could be as involved as playing educational games, practising in science experiments in a virtual lab or taking a virtual field trip

Technological hypnosis

A mental state in which overwhelming use of technology alters behavior usually negatively, but not exclusively negatively in relation to social functionality.
The men and women lost interest in one another. Instead of taking each other out on dates they stayed home and played with their Iphones.

Joe was really trying to get Sally's attention by making eye contact. She was making love to her Iphone so much she didn't notice.

Although there were 20 people sitting together in a room, they all were on their Iphones and wouldn't talk to one another. They were in a state of deep technological hypnosis.

technology years

Like dog years. 1 earth/human year is equivalent to 10 technology years
me: This app won't work? you: what phone do you have? me: An iphone 5. you: Dude your phone died of old age a long time ago. 5 Technology Years is like 50 human years!
