I think Radioactivity is freaky.....

Why? because it does things that i never want to experience. Tpday in science we investigated Radioactivity, and the teacher used some very weak radioactive materials on a geiger couunter, and boy it went crazy. he used a tool that lets the material only emit rays at where it's pointed. safe. but then he showed us what it did to electricity. he funneled 5000 volts through a thin peice of metal, behind a gauze and pointed the material over the wire. it crackled and popped about 6 times every second - and this is only a nearly-depleted radioactive material, aswell.

if something like that can do stuff like this, i dread to think of the intenstiy of a full on active element.....

makes me wonder really, as i tend to be interested in things that are dangerous and do stuff to other stuff. for example, i'd like to be shown a picture of what radioactivity does to living tissue, because it makes me think about the power of nature. It's hard to believe that radioactivity is natural, and not 'made' by mixing chemicals and solids together...

that's what i meant. i mean, im not planning on taking a degree in powerpoint or nothing, but i'm branching off from the usual stuff at the end of GNVQ's to get a bit of C++ down my neck...or if anything new comes along, then it'll be that.

Off topic.

ICT is pretty crap if your expecting to learn computer programming/everything about computers. ICT is more about how 'computers and systems' effect our lifes in businesses and stuff.

Computing or Computer Science is the way to go if you want to learn to program and learn how a PC works etc.

Radioactivity is an amazing produce of our enviroment. Just wait until you learn about Carbon14 (or was it 13?)

i'm not even out of high school yet - steady on!

i doubt i'll be doing science at uni - i'd be doing IT.

Better stick "learn" into the last line.

Radioactivity is very cool.

Its when you get zapped with gamma rays that you understand how weak flesh is.

If you go on to do sciences at uni you will more interesting stuff.
