"How the Internet and Other Technologies Came About" is a document written by Michio Kaku as part of his bigger book: "Visions: How Science Will Revolutionize the 21st Century", which was published in 1998. The book in general is an exposition by Kaku on the different technological advances that have happened in recent history and that have changed the way things work in the 20th century. He also reflects on how specific areas of science and technology have particularly affected life, like quantum mechanics, artifical intelligence, and others. In this specific excerpt, present in page 46, Kaku is reflecting and speaking about virtual reality and how this particular technological advancement changed the world. He also explains how virtual reality came about, its origin, the reasons for its discovery and success, and its original purpose. The correct answer here then, the most accurate summary to Kaku´s argument would be: that virtual reality started as a tool that was created by the Pentagon as a means to help prepare pilots for a nuclear war.

"All thOught left him. Ile felt only the purest pleasure. " How does this phrase reveal the character ofSadao. Discuss with exam
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

This phrase reveal that Dr. Sadao is a skilled surgeon and only thought of curing the patient, regardless that he is an American and the enemy.

Explanation:

Dr. Sadao is the main character in the story 'The Enemy' written by Pearl S. Buck. Dr. Sadao is a skilled surgeon and lived near an isolated coast in Japan with his family. One day Tom, an American prisoner of war was washed up near Dr. Sadao's house. Sadao's instintive voice did not let him throw the prisoner back in the sea and they carried him and aided him.

While searching for the bullet in Tom's body, <em>all thoughts left </em>Sadao. All thoughts of what will happen to him and his family for giving shelter to an American war prisoner. And as he located the bullet, he felt the purest pleasure because he performed his duty as a skilled surgeon. As a doctor, it is his duty to save lives and when he was doing it, he did not think of anything else but to aid the prisoner.

This phrase shows that Dr. Sadao is not just a skilled surgeon but a good human being, and a doctor who knows his  duty of saving lives regardless the danger it possess on his family.

<em>'He was familiar with  every atom of this human body.'</em>

<em>'Then quickly, with the cleanest and most precise incision1', the bullet was out. ' </em>This phrases shows that Dr. Sadao was a skilled surgeon.

How does he author support the argument that veganism is better for the environment
Luden [163]

In the essay "A Defense of Veganism", by Jessica Scott-Reid, the author supports the argument that veganism is better for the environment with option B) by giving information about the benefits of eating fruits and vegetables.

Among the vegan movement there are some militants who have to face frustration and desperation that comes from learning about the cruelty of the farm, dairy, and, the cosmetic industries. Vegans are the voice of the voiceless. She says that among them there is a desire "...to see a world free of animal cruelty and exploitation free of the number one cause of greenhouse-gas emissions,.." and free of the leading causes of heart disease and other illnesses. She then states that a plant-based diet is beneficial for animals, humans and the environment.
