According to this article, , the year of 2012 could be the year of disaster.  This article relies on its reference to secondary sources. In my point of view, the images of 2012 show us that global warming can be a reason of Hurricane Sandy. We all know that the earth as a whole is warming up. According to this image, I strongly believe that global warming could affect us economically due to the change of the weather conditions, especially in specific area. Generally speaking, if the warm weather causes hurricane, then there will noticeably be a lot of economic damages through flooding and buildings. Agriculture will also be affected tremendously by the changing weather patterns.

The space shuttle landed in New York city which is pretty fascinating. When you see this picture, the first idea that comes to our mind is NASA.  NASA is the place I would always want to work once I graduate from college.  Outer space is very fascinating to me.  NASA technology provides economic benefits all across the United States.  We get the accurate weather forecast because of the satellites in the space.  With the help of satellites, we can predict natural calamities such as floods, storms, hurricanes, and some natural disasters.  Technologies are proving us the best economic benefits in several ways.  Therefore, if we look at the images of 2012, some of them are affecting us economically, and some of the images show us that we are gaining some economic benefits as well.  In conclusion, the year of 2012 could be the year of disaster as well as the year of beneficial to every individual in certain ways.
