Virtual schools have already proven practical through the global pandemic, forcing students to go online, but can they truly replace traditional schools? A major issue with online education is the students themselves. With little to no supervision, adolescents frequently get off-task. Unlike in physical schools, teachers can't supervise student activities without invading privacy. 

One of, if not the most significant skill that schools teach is actually socializing. Whether it's intentional or not, forcing kids into an environment with other kids of the same age encourages them to interact with each other. However, this skill becomes especially hard to learn online. For these reasons, "cyber schools" will only be effective in certain situations until future advancements solve these issues. Until then, in-person schools will undoubtedly be more effective.

The Tesla Cybertruck was first shipped to customers in late 2023, and recently, lots of information has come out about this electric vehicle. Before we get to the major negatives, we'll start with some positives. The biggest positive about the Cybertruck is that it is electric, so it does not emit any pollution, but this doesn't change how most electricity is made with oil or gas and how lithium ion batteries (the battery in any Tesla car) are made. Another positive is that the body of it is made of a thick layer of stainless steel, and the windows are bullet proof glass. This would make it fairly hard to penetrate into the interior. The final positive is that the Cybertruck has a very powerful motor, it can go quicker than the average car. 

And now, the first negative is that the Cybertruck experienced lots of errors and mishaps in the first months after it was sent to customers. This resulted in a recall and multiple software updates to fix various problems. The next con is that the Cybertruck is made of very cheap materials outside of the motor and body. The frame is easily snapped, the door card falls off if you slam the door enough. Plus, the advertised towing capacity of 12,000 pounds has also been disputed, but there is not very much good proof that it is or is not 12,000 pounds. Finally, many advertised features either never came or were not as promised. For example, a tent option for the truck bed was supposed to be made of stainless steel with large windows, when in reality it was just a large dark grey tarp-looking cover. In conclusion, the Cybertruck has not improved much from late 2023 when it first debuted, and still has multiple problems, but it is not nearly as bad as before, where it was close to undrivable.

  I do not own a cybertruck, so I had to base this off of information that I already know about the Cybertruck, but I tried to keep the information as unbiased as possible, but that's a bit hard because I'm not a fan of this vehicle. I hope you learned something about the Cybertruck, and if you already knew all this, I hope my review was entertaining.
