Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules - Acknowledging Technological Advances and Their Impact
Holly:
In conclusion, without last century's technological advances, there'd be no computers, cell phones, or modern medical miracles. And so for that, we salute and thank our ancestors from 100 years ago.
Mr. Draybick: [turns the lights back on; takes out Greg's assignment binder; lowers the binder to Greg]
Thank you, Holly. That was excellent work. Now I think we have time for one more. I have to say that when I read this paper, I was a bit surprised by its content. But more than any other, this one deserves to be read out loud. Greg?
Rowley: [clapping]
Yay, Greg!
Mr. Draybick:
Just read it, Greg. All of it.
Greg: [reading his assignment]
Sometimes I sit and wonder about stuff I do not know, like, what the earth was like a hundred years ago. Did cavemen ride on dinosaurs? Did flowers even grow? Did spiders rule the earth? Were deserts filled with snow? There were no books or humans, so how are we to know what the earth was like a hundred years ago?
