Period 8 Post!!!!!!!!!!!

KG P8

Today in class we are talking about the article we had for homework. We are also talking about the FINELY OLYMPICS!

Vocab.

Epidemic- When something occurs and it hits many people.

Ethical- Not worth it.

Discussion Notes-

World of war craft is a online game where you can interact with other characters. Some people play it for the rest of their lives all around the world. It is like Call of Duty, and you can rank up! Call of Duty ROXS!

The virus can show how quickly a disease can spread and you don't even know you have it!

Since people spend a ton of time playing video games that reacts on how they act now and then, before and after playing the game. It can affect the way they talk, act, etc.

Some people with cancer or terminal get tested on because if they will die they should die helping people.

If everyone gets sick in real life I would stay at home and lock my door! That would be scary.

There is about 8 million people in NJ when there is about 6.5 million people playing the game.

The reason why the game is better than a simulation is because since the game wasn't created for a virus, it was created for fun. They wouldn't expect to get sick so they act the same.

In a simulation they would be expecting it to happen, when in a game you don't expect it.

YOU CANT EXPECT HOW PEOPLE ACT AT ALL!!!!!!

You can do that with a lot of things with a virus. Natural distasters, a killer is on the loose, etc.
