NEW CAR THAT TRAVELS FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF A BULLET!!!

I recently read on National Geographics website that British scientist are in the process of developing a car that will travel more than 1,000 miles per hour. This is faster than a speeding bullet from a handgun. The car, named Blue Hound Super Sonic car, will have the first ever rocket motor and a jet hybrid engine. Paul Drayson, the British Minister of State for Science and Innovation, had this to say about the extreme process ahead to build this super car.

"If Bloodhound SSC is to reach its target of Mach 1.4, equivalent to 1,000 mph, the team behind it will need to solve some ambitious challenges in science, engineering and [math], from constructing the largest hybrid rocket motor ever built in the UK, to making major advances in sensor technology and designing wheels to cope with these incredible forces."

I think this is another example of the complexity and brilliance of technology. I cant help but wonder just how far will we push the limits in the development and implementation of advanced technology. Although technology provides a convenience that is unmattched, it also causes an unhealthy dependency to perform the most simple task. I, for example, have become so accustom to the spell check feature in Micrsoft office softwares, that I attempted to write a paper not to long ago, and struggled spelling the most simplest words. We have to learn to find a healthy meduim as far as the use of technology is concern.
