UNPROFESSIONAL GESTURES

   There are many hand symbols and gestures out there that mean many different things but the one main one I'll be talking about is the peace symbol. This hand gesture is pretty much unprofessional just about about everywhere. Here in America you might think that the gesture is just a harmless way of saying "what's up" or "goodbye", but think about being at a job interview and holding up this sign to the person hiring. Do you really believe that you'll be getting a job after beginning your interview with such foul advertisement. This symbol might be cool to to around your homies or home girls, unless they're from Great Britain or Australia. If you do that hand gesture to someone in one of those countries you might get a fist in the face. In there eyes your holding up something just as insulting as the middle finger maybe even worse. That's why you should always keep hand and body gestures professional because you never know what your saying in someone else's eyes. Here is a link to find out more about gestures that don't mean what you think.

Making gadgets is easy





      Most people when they think of gadgets they think of small portable lasers or sticky gloves or maybe even some type of mini robots that follow your every command but truthfully their wrong. I mean don't get me wrong if you make a portable laser it would be a gadget but that's not realistic when your not being loaned 30 million dollars from NASA to to work on science experiments. To understand gadgets you must first understand its definition and origin. A gadget is a small mechanical device or tool,but that's pretty much obvious is what your saying well keep on reading.
The word gadget originated from the word gachette which in the french language meant lock or mechanism, and gagee which in the french language means tool.Around the late 19th century is when the word gadget was created. Our perspective of the word gadget has transformed over time like a butterfly from a cocoon. Now i understand your probably thinking what is he boasting on and on about, well i said all of that to create bridge foe what I'm about to tell you next. To make gadgets you don't need to funded by companies that make over 9 figures all it takes is a couple of materials and a passion to learn and grow as a amateur engineer. When I first started i was building styluses out of chip bags and taser gloves. I used my own allowance to buy the materials i needed. That's what being a young engineer is all about. I've created tons of inventions and worked on countless experiments but every one needs a start. The videos that helped me out when i was younger are below. They are very simple and easy to make it should only take about an hour at the most to make.









          

Now i'm not going to tell you that after you make these you'll be the best engineer ever or that you'll really have a heart for engineering. All i'm going to say is that if you want to make a gadget everyone has to start somewhere, and I think this is the best way to start.I only picked these because they were useful to me and helped me when i needed help with stuff.When building things just build what you need .
