If I will be given a chance to invent a technology, I would like to invent a technology that can help our

ozone layer to be restored, because as time goes by, our ozone layer is getting thinner and thinner. I
want to invent this because our ozone layer helps us from many things, for example blocking the heat of
the sun directly to our planet, we are very lucky because the temperature is not too hot nor too cold, it
is just right. Another reason why I want to invent this technology is to prolong our planet earth as early
as possible and make other generations enjoy what is like to be.

Week 4

Pre-Columbian civilizations, the aboriginal American Indian cultures that

evolved in Mesoamerica (part of Mexico and Central America) and the
Andean region (western South America) prior to Spanish exploration and
conquest in the 16th century. The pre-Columbian civilizations were
extraordinary developments in human society and culture, ranking with the
early civilizations of Egypt, Mesopotamia, and China. Like the ancient
civilizations of the Old World, those in the New World were characterized by
kingdoms and empires, great monuments and cities, and refinements in the
arts, metallurgy, and writing; the ancient civilizations of the Americas also
display in their histories similar cyclical patterns of growth and decline, unity
and disunity.
