THE MOST INTELLIGENT ANIMALS IN THE WORLD

TOP 3: THE DOLPHINS


Dolphins are extremely social animals. They can find their relatives separated miles away in the sea for unknown reason but they have their own language to communicate. The most significant aspect about the dolphins is that they never sleep with their systems due to their incredible piece of brain power and aesthetic sensibility.


TOP 2: THE ELEPHANTS


The elephant brain is very heavy. It weighs in at about 5 kilos or more. Other large mammals, such as rhinos and hippos don’t have that kind of brain size. Scientific research has proven that elephants have the ability to use different objects in creative ways without being taught firsthand. They have been known to clean their food and use tools in various ways in the wild, and they can also follow human commands in captivity.

Carmen's Text on Apple

Apple is a multinational company that makes computer hardware, computer software, and portable devices like mobile telephones and music players. Apple calls its computers Macintoshes or Macs, and it calls its laptops MacBooks. Their popular line of mobile music players is called ipod, their smartphone line is called iPhone and their Tablet line is called iPad. Apple sells their products all around the world. Apple Inc. used to be called Apple Computer, Inc.

Apple was started in 1976 by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. Before they made the company, they sold "blue boxes", which had telephone buttons on them. People could use them to make telephone calls from pay phones without paying any money. The company's first product is now called the Apple I computer. They were almost ready to sell it, but a problem happened. Steve Wozniak was working for the computer company Hewlett-Packard, and the papers that said he could work there said he had to give everything he invented to the company before he could do what he wanted to do with it. He showed the first Apple I to the Hewlett-Packard, but they did not want his computer. Wozniak was then free to do what he wanted to do with the Apple I. It was sold in 1976. In 1977, they made their second computer, called the Apple II.
