Kate eyed the three objects the professor was showing them. A computer, a television, and a tupperware container. She knew scientists had found ways to improve them, but she'd never figured out HOW. All she could give were three wild guesses. Reaching for her quill and dipping it in ink, she wrote:

* Computer = I know we rely on signals and service to get Internet. I think scientists have found better ways to improve both of those, so we not only get better access here on Earth, but when astronauts are flying in space, they can use computerized equipment to communicate with others and do their work.

* Television = I think this is pretty much the same as computers in that scientists have found ways to improve the service we get. I read that once people had to have large antennas on their TVs to get them to work, but over time, people figured out a way to make TVs wider, thinner, and without those big antennas.

* Tupperware = I honestly have no idea here. Maybe scientists have figured out a better way to make the products so we can use recycled materials or something like that. Or maybe they developed a better mix of materials to make the Tupperware better and stronger.

Yeah, she was really lost on that last one. Oh, well. Those were her ideas, and that's all she had for now.
