Prototype washing machine orders detergent online

Berg has created, a internet based washing machine, you are able to program wash settings right from your smartphone, you no longer have to worry about your clothes,shrinking or clothes losing their color.
"Here's another addition to the internet of things: London-based design firm Berg has created Cloudwash, a prototype cloud-connected laundry machine with a minimalist, customizable user interface that connects to a smartphone.
Because people typically only do laundry a few different ways, Cloudwash has three programmable presets for everyday use. More washer settings are available through a smartphone. Next to the presets is a delay toggle, with a screen showing when the load of laundry will be done".
This does not relate to school,but it is science-technology based due to discovering how to do this. 
I like the sound of this,but it also seem to be a bad thing because what if your internet stop working?.
It may would try this prototype to see if it works for me but I don't really like the idea of it replacing your actual washing machine, because of the fact,that it may stop working due to not having internet.

Anonymous girl diarist from the Lodz Ghetto

A young girl from the time period late February to March 1942,She tells the story of what it is like during holocaust times living in Lodz or any other surrounding village,how food is hard to come by.
She seem to just want everything to be different,social wise and her "new" life.
 " How sad life is. When we look at the fence separating us from the rest of the world, our souls, like birds in a cage, yearn to be free. Longing breaks my heart, visions of the past come to me. Will I ever live in better times?” (anonymous girl, March 7,1942)

facebook goea beyond male and female with new option

Facebook updated their gender options to more in-detail options,to users that are both or more then one thing."let's U.S users choose among 50 additional such as "transgender", "Cisgender"..."
I think this could be a good thing,because it give people the options of being who they really are and it just show how much the world has changed.
I think the writer picked to make this change into a article to get people thought about what facebook has done.Also the fact that many people will update their gender to suit them best.
Some of te negatives maybe that people will be harsh and say negative things about other people.This doesn't really bother me personally,but I feel like it is a good thing for the people that want to be comfortable with themselves.
I would like to see what people think about the changes.
