My second wonder
Area 51 is a military base, and a remote detachment of Edwards Air Force Base. It is
located in the southern portion of Nevada in the western United States, 83 miles
(133 km) north-northwest of downtown Las Vegas. Situated at its center, on the southern
shore of Groom Lake, is a large military airfield. The base's primary purpose is to
support development and testing of experimental aircraft and weapons systems.[1][2]
The base lies within the United States Air Force's vast Nevada Test and Training Range
(NTTR), formerly called the Nellis Air Force Range (NAFR). Although the facilities at the
range are managed by the 99th Air Base Wing at Nellis Air Force Base, the Groom
facility appears to be run as an adjunct of the Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC) at
Edwards Air Force Base in the Mojave Desert, around 186 miles (300 km) southwest of
Groom, and as such the base is known as Air Force Flight Test Center

My third wonder
The Galápagos tortoise or Galápagos giant tortoise (Chelonoidis nigra) is the largest
living species of tortoise and 10th-heaviest living reptile, reaching weights of over 400 kg
(880 lb) and lengths of over 1.8 meters (5.9 ft). With life spans in the wild of over 100
years, it is one of the longest-lived vertebrates. A captive individual lived at least
170 years.
The tortoise is native to seven of the Galápagos Islands, a volcanic archipelago about
1,000 km (620 mi) west of the Ecuadorian mainland. Spanish explorers, who discovered
My fourth wonder
The Great Pyramid of Giza (called the Pyramid of Khufu and the Pyramid of
Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis bordering
what is now El Giza, Egypt. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World,
and the only one to remain largely intact. Egyptologists believe that the pyramid was
built as a tomb for fourth dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops in Greek) over an
approximately 20 year period concluding around 2560 BC. Initially at 146.5 metres
(480.6 ft), the Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for over
3,800 years. Originally, the Great Pyramid was covered by casing stones that formed a
smooth outer surface; what is seen today is the underlying core structure. Some of the
casing stones that once covered the structure can still be seen around the base. There
My fifth wonder
A video game is an electronic game that involves human interaction with a user
interface to generate visual feedback on a video device. The word video in video game
traditionally referred to a raster display device,[1] but following popularization of the term
"video game", it now implies any type of display device. The electronic systems used to
play video games are known as platforms; examples of these are personal computers
and video game consoles. These platforms range from large mainframe computers to
small handheld devices. Specialized video games such as arcade games, while
previously common, have gradually declined in use. Video games have gone on to
become an art form and industry.
My sixth wonder
The Galápagos Islands (official name: Archipiélago de Colón; other Spanish names:
Islas de Colón or Islas Galápagos) are an archipelago of volcanic islands distributed
around the equator in the Pacific Ocean, 972 km (525 nmi) west of continental Ecuador,
of which they are a part.
The Galápagos Islands and its surrounding waters form an Ecuadorian province, a
national park, and a biological marine reserve. The principal language on the islands is
Spanish. The islands have a population of slightly over 25,000.[1]
The islands are geologically young and famed for their vast number of endemic species,
which were studied by Charles Darwin during the voyage of the Beagle. His
My seventh wonder
A computer is a programmable machine designed to automatically carry out a
sequence of arithmetic or logical operations. The particular sequence of operations can
be changed readily, allowing the computer to solve more than one kind of problem. An
important class of computer operations on some computing platforms is the accepting of
input from human operators and the output of results formatted for human consumption.
The interface between the computer and the human operator is known as the user
interface.
Conventionally a computer consists of some form of memory, at least one element that
carries out arithmetic and logic operations, and a sequencing and control unit that can
change the order of operations based on the information that is stored. Peripheral
