     Some people believe that schools will no longer be necessary in the near future. They said that because of

the Internet and other new technology, there is no longer any need for school buildings, classes or teachers.

Perhaps this will be true one day, but if the world has no schools, I can't imagine (想象) how our society will

be. In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools better. We should invent a new kind

of school that is linked to libraries, museums, science centers, labs and even companies. Technological

companies should create (创造) learning programs for schools. Scientists or professors could give talks

through the Internet. TV networks and local stations could develop programs about things students are actually

studying in school. Labs could set up websites to show new technology so students could see it on the Internet.

There exist cruel wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, so it’s not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us go through difficult times in our lives. Putting a smile on someone’s face when you know they are feeling depressed, as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart.

How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don’t know the person I’m joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is a common manner to speak to others that are around you.

I know of a few people that don’t have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They don’t get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?

Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to avoid the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. Therefore, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.
