4 Things I Hate About Manhattan/NYC

4 things I hate about Manhattan/NYC are:

  1. No backyard-I’d like to have my own backyard with enough space for a garden and a lot of open area.
  2. Traffic-Sometimess you need to get somewhere and if you don’t something in your life (that’s big) will change. Maybe builders can make elevated roads.
  3. Dirtyness-NYC’s so dirty that I won’t touch handrails even if I’m hurt.
  4. Rudeness-Some people in the city are so rude. Some shove and some don’t know the rules and are disrespectful.

Design

I’m designing a multi-purpose sports helmet that has mirrors and an antenna to listen to music. The sports it can be used for are: football, skateboarding, skiing/snowboarding, hockey, baseball, lacrosse, biking, and scootering. It’s in the shape of whatever sport your using it for. If it’s a winter sport like skiing/snowboarding and hockey, it has a little attachment on the inside for warmth. Inside the helmet there are speakers and buttons on the outside for adjusting. For football, it has a little attachment for the face mask. You get the idea. The mirrors are sticking out of the sides on the helmet, sort of like side mirrors on a car. It has two reflectors on the back and an antenna to listen to music. It has a brim to block the sun. It solves the problem of getting hurt because you can’t see behind you. One thing that might not be the best is that in a sport like football, you have to be aware of what’s happening. Here’s some pictures:

Tips-A Very Useful App

There’s an app called tips, that you automatically have on an apple device. I don’t think you can get it on the app store. It gives you different tips, usually shortcuts. I like it because it tells you many shortcuts that make using the device easier. I can’t find a link because it’s only on iPhones (I think).
