What is a TDD
A telecommunications device for the deaf, or
TDD works like instant messaging on a
computer. The TDD is made up of a keyboard,
display screen, modem, and printer. First, the
user types a message on the keyboard and then
sends it to another TDD. When the message
reaches its destination, it appears on the other
user’s display screen. The TDD does not ring
like a regular telephone does. Instead, a flashing
light tells the person at the other and that a
message is waiting. Some TDD systems include a
vibrating wristband to aleart the person that a
message has arrived. There are alos message relay
centers so that people using regular telephones can
send messages to TDD’s. Today, more than foru
million people in the United States have TDD’s.
This communication tool makes it easyfor people
with sever hearing disablities to “reach out an
dtouch sombody” with a message

How Would You Classify the Planets?
Three Types of Planets
People often think all planets are alike, but
there are actually three types of planets in the
solar system. The terrestrial plants are made of
rock and metal and are closest to the sun. These
include the midsize planets Mercury, Venus,
Earth, and Mars. They rotate slowly and don’t
have many moons. Farther from the are the
planets called gas giants, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,
and Neptune. They are called gas giants because
they are formed from gases such as hydrogen and
helium. Gas giants rotate fast and have many
moons. Finally, planetoids are objects made up of
rock and ice and are too small to be true “planets.”
Planetoids sometimes even get pulled into a
planet’s gravitational field and become moons
themselves. Whether they are terrestrials, gas
giants or planetoids, the planets in the solar
system are fascinating.
