What Your English Teacher Didn't Tell YouJean Reynolds
The document discusses three main ideas:
1) Writing should showcase the writer's experiences and ideas rather than just filling space. Stories are an effective way to engage readers.
2) Many English usage rules were invented by Lindley Murray in the 18th century without linguistic expertise, and some may not withstand scrutiny.
3) Critical thinking is needed when evaluating English usage rather than relying on rules from teachers. Usage changes over time, and rules from different fields like science may not apply to everyday writing.
The document discusses the history and development of the internet over the past 50 years, from its origins as a US military program called ARPANET to the commercialization of the world wide web in the 1990s. It grew exponentially from the 1980s onward as universities and research institutions established connections to share information and resources, leading to its opening for commercial and public use by the early 1990s.

This document summarizes a student project that aims to optimize the use of wind energy from windmills. The project members plan to install modular mini electricity generating units and medium-sized windmills in coastal areas to harness wind power. This will help meet the electricity needs of local villages and avoid dependence on large windmills located far from residences. The system will use sensors and a microcontroller to automatically adjust the windmill blades based on wind direction and optimize idle time. Electricity generated will be stored in batteries and power homes through an inverter. The project aims to provide clean, affordable energy for coastal communities without large investments.
