Mia Hamm
Mia Hamm is a retired American proefessional association football  player and two time olympic gold medalist and FIFA Women's World Cup winner. She played forward in the United States Woman's national soccer team. She held the record for international goals, this was more than any other player in soccer. She was named FIFA world player of the year 2 times in 2001, and 2002. She was also the youngest player on the team, joining when she was 15, and at 19 still being the youngest. she broke the all-time international goal record with her 108th goal in a game against Brazil in Orlando, Florida. Hamm retired in 2004  after playing in Fan Celebration Tour to commemorate the U.S. women's national team's victory in the 2004 olympics. Technoology impacted this because camera's were brocasting every game, and Hamm could learn from her mistakes after watching how she played each game. 

This excellence of Mia Hamm was great because she got to break a record with making more than 108 goals, and for being the youngest person in joining the United states women's national soccer team. I learned to not give up because you can break a record as well if you keep practicing.

Luke Aikins


Luke Aikins jumped from an aircraft without a parachute or wingsuit at an altitude of 25,000 ft.above Simi Valley. He was being watched by a live audience.  After about two minutes of free fall he successfully landed in a 100-by-100-foot net just outside of Simi Valley. He was 42 years old, and he became the first man to ever jump out without anything. Technology impacted this because they must've known where exactly to place the net for his landing. This excellence seems pretty dangerous, but it was also pretty cool how he actually didn’t have fear of jumping out without anything.

An innovation is online shopping, and this is when someone orders stuff online whether it comes to clothing, food, electronic devices, or pretty much anything. This impacts people who don’t have the time to actually go out and purchase the stuff, they can easily just order it online. What I think about this innovation is that it is a great idea because it saves time.
