                     Most memorable Moment in 2013

   My most memorable moment in 2013 was when I got a walk off hit in my baseball game. I was so proud of my self and so were my teammates and my parents. Another memorable moment I had in 2013 is when I got an A++ because of extra credit on my test. My parents were especially proud of me. These were my most memorable moments of 2013.


                        What I'm exited for in 2014

I'm exited for the new technology in 2014 like the Xbox One and PS3. I know these came out in November but it was so close to 2014 that I counted them as 2014. I am making New Year resolution like being more healthy and being active outside. I'm also exited for being in 7th grade and being taught new things. I would like to be more helpful in general in 2014.

Does Your Brain Auto Correct?

  
       
           
                                             Introduction

   On smart phones like the Samsung galaxy S4 Or the I phone 5c or 5s there is a feature called auto correct. Auto correct fixes a word based on what letters are put together. For instance If you spelt pen as pne it would automatically fix your error. Some people hate it because it always corrects it as another word and not the word that they wanted to type. Some people love it especially the younger kids because they don't know how to spell most words.

                             Does your brain have auto correct?

     Our brains have an autocorrect,when we know a word well and it's spelt wrong we immediately know it's wrong. We have had this since we were born. Your brain can hold as much information as the technology we have now. Scientist believe that the brain's ability to make sense out of misspelled words is very quick when it's a word you know. As long as the first and last letters are correct our brains know that it is wrong and we can fix it.

                                                                 Opinion

       Honestly I think this is amazing. I didn't think that our brains could automatically fix something without noticing. Sometimes you read something that is misspelled barely and not notice it is misspelled. That is why you sometimes have to reread your sentences backwards because you don't notice it's wrong. Our auto correct is as good as a phones our a mobile devices.
