100% of Honda civic in Japan is going to be “Hybrid”

In Japan Honda Civic is one of the most popular car models, thus their plan is to change from the normal civic to hybrid civic. Honda will only manufacture hybrid civic starting in 2011. Moreover, Honda had planned to build a smaller car and vehicle using the clean diesel technology.

By 2013, Honda says that they will have as many as hybrid models in its domestic and international market. Not only the hybrid civic but also the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle will be introduced in the same year.

Hybrid technology appears to be one of most intriguing innovation for Honda. They start to phase out the older technologies and focus on hybrid engine. Honda hopes that an increased manufacturing of car batteries will allow their scale. If all goes well, hybrid civic would cost the same or even less than those that use the older technology.

In my opinion, global warming is one of the most danger problems we encountered. It causes many disasters, such as the higher in temperature, flooding and earthquake. Carbon dioxide is one of the factors causing the global warming. Carbon dioxide mostly produced by the vehicle, changing all of the car into hybrid engine would cause the reduction in carbon dioxide. It would reduce the carbon dioxide produced by vehicles; therefore using hybrid car would be one of the choices to save our world.

Hikosaburo Yasuda, 95year olds, said "he plans to buy Apple IPad just because the juvenile has it. “It important to try new things if not you will get left behind”, Yasuda said. Moreover, another reason that makes him want to buy IPad is he never had a chance to read. IPad is a good tool for the senior citizens that try to use computer."

Motoo Kitamura, 78, a former salesman, said "the IPad helps him communicate with his 2-year-old grandson, who turns it on himself to play games. Kitamura uses it to follow the Hanshin Tigers baseball team and show vacation pictures.
Now, there are many customers bought 3.72 million IPads that sell for $565 in Japan and this year’s Apple Company approximately earn 12.9 million this year. It is the biggest benefit in this year".

In my opinion, at present there are many senior citizen try to learn new thing from new technology and in the future the percentages of elderly IPad user will increase sharply during 2011-2012 .

Apple Company in Japan has changed their websites to improve the IPod Nano program easier to research information on accident during the recharging because there are many people complaint about this problem. Moreover, some user also complaint that finding the IPod Nano program is very difficult on Japanese websites. Therefore, Apple is trying to fix this problem as soon as possible because Japan is the biggest regular customer.

IPod Nano was the fourth generation of music players that produced by Apple, which mix up between IPod shuffle and IPod first generation. Launched in USA on 7 September 2007, it came for replace IPod Mini which have low function. Furthermore, the special ability that made IPod Nano became the most popular during that time was flash memory and the color screen. There were six previous colors (silver, black, mint, turquoise, and berry red and rose pink) were replaced by silver, black, purple, light blue, green, yellow, orange, red, and pink.

In my opinion, Apple Japan will lose high profit from this product because they must decrease the price for the customers. Moreover, now there are new product come out name” IPhone 4G” which will make IPod Nano get low price.

This film will set to open on next summer. Nakatani has played a similar character in the movie name” Kiraware Matsuko no Issho” in 2006.Therefore, she will not be under great pressure.

In my opinion, Miki Nakatani was the most famous actor during 1993 to 2003 and she has a lot of experience to be a great actor. However, at present there are many young actors who try to replace the old actor in the film. Therefore, it makes the high competition between old stars and new stars which made Nakatani lost from the film long period of time. Moreover, now there is increasing of young actors in Japan so this can made an old star lost from the film forever.
