Who Invented Flappy Bird?

Who Was the Inventor of Flappy Bird?

      Ever wonder who was the inventor of Flappy Bird? Flappy bird was the #1 app in Apple's app store and Google play for months at a time. This, known to be addicting, game was made by Vietnamese based developer, Dong Nguyen. Flappy Bird, during its best time, was earning about $50,000 a day! Flappy bird became a huge success for Dong Nguyen, but unfortunately took it down. He tweeted, " I'm sorry 'Flappy Bird' users, 22 hours from now, I will take 'Flappy Bird' down. I cannot take this anymore." The inventor of Flappy Bird stopped his success from growing. Was it all a mistake? Keep reading to find out my opinion!

 Why was Flappy Bird Deleted?

My Opinions

      Was it the right decision to delete Flappy Bird? I believe it was, because first of all the inventor has made enough money out of the game that it really didn't matter anymore. Also, too many people were getting stuck onto this game. Too many people practically devoted their life to the game. People were trying to hard over a pointless game. It is unbelievable how many people just couldn't stop playing the clearly addicting game. I have played the game myself, but i wouldn't play for hours at a time. I don't find the game as highly addicting as others. I truly find Flappy Bird to be a fun game, but not so fun that I stopped my daily routine just to play Flappy Bird. Flappy Bird is a good game to kill time, but, in my opinion, is not to important.

Wonder What a Clarinet is? (special challenge inside)

How Were Clarinets Originally Made? 

      Ever wonder how clarinets are made? I did! Clarinets are a woodwind instrument with the widest range from the contrabass clarinet to the piccolo clarinet. This feature makes the clarinet very special. The most common clarinet is the B flat clarinet. Clarinets are introduced to kids starting form elementary school. Clarinets were and still are made of wood. Now many people replace the wood with plastic or even metal clarinets.(these clarinets look more like modern flutes) Each clarinet used to be specially hand carved, from Boxwood. Now we  have shorter processes, so we can make more at a time. Now clarinets are make of plastic, metal, or the most common African blackwood.

My Opinions

      I feel the newer clarinets such as the colored or metal ones, don't look as sophisticated as the ones made out of African Blackwood. The newer ones seem to shine too much and will stand out to much in a formal band.  Even in elementary, middle and high school bands the bright colors and shiny keys, the odd, modern clarinet will stand out too much. Once in a middle school band concert I went to I noticed a trombone player with a bright purple trombone. Even though he was right in the back (other than percussion) I could still see his instrument clearly, because it stood out so much. The band sounded great, but watching it wasn't the best experience. Now of course than is just my opinion!
