1.) The scientific Advancement that I researched was flying cars. 2.) The scientific proof that we are currently exploring this technology is that many small science labs, like the Japanese Advanced Institute of Technology built a mini model of a flying car. This may lead to a bigger version fit for humans. Another proof is that a website called Moller International is creating possible "flying cars" which are basically small airplanes. Massachusetts based "Terrafugia" is learning how to make flying cars into a profitable business. Every great invention starts with an experiment. So, as you can see many companies are exploring the topic of flying cars in depth. Maybe one day, Suzanne Collins's, and many other author's wishes of flying cars used in everyday life may come true! 3.) If we achieved this "flying cars" dream like Suzanne wishes, there will be many positive aspects.. but there will also be many negative aspects to this idea! A benefit would be that the people would take less time to travel from place to place. The traffic may as well decrease significantly since the sky is much larger than the narrow roads. But the injuries are going to be much greater and worst results than driving on roads. Also, the negative aspects are that the people may take too much advantage of it and the skies will always be crowded and never clear, and the risks of the airplane or flying car falling down to ruin a building with people in it, thus, hurting people is much much greater than simply a few airplanes darting across the sky.

Ria: -The scientific advancement I discovered with many others in the Hunger Games is a heat reflective sleeping bag. -Based on the technology we've developed today, there is a sleeping bag holding many semblances to the advancement in the Hunger Games called, the Blizzard Survival Bag. This fabrication was created to reflect and trap heat in freezing or even worse temperatures present during blizzards, similar to the device used in the Hunger Games. Today, they are commonly used between hunters, hikers, workers, athletes, and the military. The Blizzard Survival Bag is also guaranteed to protect from any harmful elements coexisting in the environment anyone would be in. In the Hunger Games, Katniss was never disturbed by the tracker jackers, possibly because of the sleeping bag. Some may have attempted, to harm her, though could have failed because of the protector. The weight of the Blizzard Survival Bag comes to less that 1/2 kg, which could be an estimate of the weight of the sleeping bag Katniss used, since she was traveling efficiently without any complaint for her utensils. There are many other inventions that technology has come across to develop through the years similar to those used in the Hunger Games. Hopefully, the events leading the fabrication of these products don't occur in our history as they do in the Hunger Games. Be sure to check out more information about the Blizzard Survival Bag! -This invention benefits our citizens greatly by allowing us to freely experience the colder areas of the world that we were first prevented to see. Now, with this device, we can easily explore with warmth through our bodies. The Blizzard Survival Bag especially assists our entertainment because it allows competitive athletes perform for us in sports such as skiing, snowboarding, etc. Due to severely cold temperatures, we were first unable to undergo activities in the cold, but now with this invention we are permitted to do so with extra warmth. This creation is also greatly used to ensure our daily protection, for the military, navy, etc, all value this fabrication. They are able to stay warm and healthier with this development in the below freezing temperatures occurring overseas where many are stationed. Though, the Blizzard Survival Bag has been assisting us greatly, the dangers of this advance are shown through the Hunger Games. If the inventions are the same in the book and our current society, then why not the structure of their civilization. The environment of the Hunger Games portrays a dystopia, which could possibly predict the future of our very own country. Fortunately, the possibilities of such a destruction encountering America are slim, thus ensuring such a country will not develop through our lifetime.

Tyler: 1. The scientific advancement I have reasearhed is weather control 2. In the Hunger games the Capitol is able to control and manipulate the weather within the arena, a more specific example is the long straight days of thunderstorms and rain. This is similar to a present day weather manipulation technique known as cloud seeding in which a plane releases large amounts of silver iodide over a large area of cloud banks causing the ice particles in the clouds to grow heavier and heavier until they begin to fall down to Earth and melt along the way. Today there are currently 40 worldwide prodjects taking place in order to raise rainfall in dry or drought locations. One of these prodgects is taking place in the state of Texas where more than 10 years of reasearch has been taking place. Although there is no conclusive data there are many sure signs this is very possible, such as 5 year data collection of rainfall percentage which shows a 25%-42% increase in rainfall since the start of this prodject. With luck one day we may truly be able to master our planets weather. 3.If we were one day able to conrtol our planets weather some benefits would be an abundence of of drinking water as well flurishing rivers and plant life. We would able to control the temperature making heating and cooling systems obsoleat as well as making harsh climate areas such as desserts both livable and plentiful of water and plant life. Not mention we would be able to prevent any future tornados and hurricanes from happening. Despite these benefits there as several negative aspects to this idea as well such as if there was malfunction or problem with our ablity to control the weather we could create sub zero or boiling temperatures as well as many different natural disaters. People can also this power to harm others and create war ultimatly hurting all.
