IS THERE LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS?

 In my opinion yes. We can't be the only life forms in the solar system. These are four reasons why I think there is intelligent life on other planets...

EVOLUTIONARY THEORY

People often use the Fermi paradox to explain why we'll never find intelligent life in the universe. On the other side is evolutionary theory, which suggests that life adapts to its environments. Though Darwin and his contemporaries were hardly thinking of life on exoplanets when they came up with evolutionary theory, it does suggest that where life can take hold, it will. And if you consider that our environment isn't just planets, but also solar systems and interstellar space, an unorthodox interpretation of evolutionary theory suggests that life will adapt to outer space too. We may one day be meeting creatures who've evolved in ways we never dreamed possible — or we may become those creatures ourselves.

MYSTERIES SURROUNDING HOW LIFE CAME TO EARTH

Though we have theories about how life originated on Earth, involving those complex carbon molecules, there is ultimately a mystery about how those chemicals came together to form fragile membranes that eventually became cells. This mystery has been deepened the more we know about how incredibly hostile the environment on Earth was when life evolved — the atmosphere was packed with methane, and the planet's surface boiled with lava. One common theory is that simple, single-celled life actually evolved elsewhere — perhaps Mars — and came to Earth inside meteorites. This theory is called panspermia, and suggests that life on Earth arose due to life on other planets.

SHEER DIVERSITY AND TENACITY OF LIFE ON EARTH

 Not only did life evolve on Earth under extremely difficult conditions, but it somehow managed to survive mega volcanoes, meteorite strikes, ice ages, droughts, ocean acidification, and radical atmospheric changes. We've also seen incredible diversity of life on our planet in a relatively short period of time, geologically speaking. Life is pretty tenacious. Why couldn't it take hold on one of Saturn's moons, or in another star system?

RAPIDLY EXPANDING NUMBER OF EARTH-LIKE PLANETS

Over the past decade, planet hunters have found hundreds of exoplanets, many of them gas giants like Jupiter. But new techniques for planetary detection have allowed them to detect smaller, rocky worlds like Earth. Some are even in the "Goldilocks zone" around their stars, meaning they orbit at a distance that could produce temperatures similar to those on Earth. Given how common exoplanets beyond our solar system have turned out to be, it seems likely that one of them plays host to some form of life.\

That is why I think there is life on other planets. 

  

IS SOCIAL MEDIA GOOD OR BAD(twitter, Facebook  Reddit)

 Well, there are always two sides of everything; it depends on your perspective on how you perceive it. The same goes for social media, most people admire it as a revolutionary invention and some seem to take it as a negative impact on the society.

POSITIVE EFFECTS:

Friends and relations...

 Social networks started as a place to connect with your friends in an easy an convenient way. Truly speaking, many people might have found their old friends from school or collage who were out of touch due to one reason or other, well I would say I have and I thank social networks for this. Social networks has provided us the opportunity to connect with people and build better relationships with friends with whom we are unable to meet personally, and let them know about our life and take input about their lives and events happening with them.

Opportunities for business...

 Social networks have become a crucial part of many of us. We don’t even notice this but as soon as we open our desktops or laptops to access the web, we sub-consciously open our favourite social network just to see about the updates received. Businesses have noticed the value of social networks in our life, and they are using different techniques to promote their products. There are a number of customized applications being made on the social platforms, whose main purpose is to promote the product or brand. As social marketing is cost effective and brands have a huge audience, they are shifting more towards social marketing.

NEGATIVE EFFECTS:

Affecting Productivity...

 Mostly businesses use social media to find and communicate with clients. But it is a great distraction to employees, who may show more interest in what their friends are posting than in their work tasks. Wired.com posted two studies which demonstrated damage to productivity caused by social networking. Nucleus Research reported that Facebook shaves 1.5% off office productivity while Morse claimed that British companies lost 2.2 billion a year to the social phenomenon. 

Leads to isolation...

 Extreme usage of social media has reduced the level of human interaction. Because of social networks the interaction with other people has become effortless and people have isolated their lives behind their online identities. Face to face communication and meetings has been reduced and many of us have lost our social skills.

Conclusion

There are many more reasons for both negative and positive effects or social media websites. I have mentioned a few of both but this doesn't answer the question, are social media sites good or bad? I believe it stands somewhere in between.

IF I COULD BE ANYONE

   If I could be anyone, I would be an eighteen year old male from Calgary named Jason Tran.

   Jason is the best League of Legends player in the world. His main league account name is wildturtle. He got the name frome watching two turtles fight. He currently holds four places in a league called challenger tier, meaning he keeps four places in the highest skill level league.

   He currently plays for the team TSM(Team Solo Mid). He plays ADC(attack damage carry) for TSM and he mains twitch. During tournament matches he gets focused by the enemy more than any other member of TSM due to his ability to dominate from the smallest lead. He has also Almost burnt the TSM house down just like his team-mate Dyrus. His current team-mates are Dyrus, TheOddOne, Bjergsen, Xpecial, Ninjaken and Altec. 

   From December, 2011 to March 2012 he played for Team Monomaniac Dominatus. After that he played for Orbit Gaming from October 2012 to November 2012. Then from November 2012 to December 2012 he played for Quantic Gaming. He played for Team Cloud 9 from December 2012 to March 2013. He currently plays for TSM.

   WildTurtle's 3v3 team is in one of the most skilled divisions, Platinum I. He in the best player in all of North America, and his 5v5 team is in Diamond III.

   That is why I would want to be WildTurtle.
