Class evaluation

Class evaluation

1.      In this class, I like how in the begging we had hand on projects. WE made a poster or creatively a message transport which was really engaging. We also did groups projects which are pretty fun because they give two perspectives on one assignment. I had fun and learned at the same time with that.
2.      In this class I did not like the fact that being in the back causes me not to be able to hear things a lot. I cannot hear when we have homework often nor how to do things. Also, after reading an assignment, I’d like to be able to ask you questions about it but you won’t let me.
3.      To improve the class, maybe sending a remind for homework would be helpful. I’d like also do more hands on activities like the two activities we did in the beginning of the year. Maybe try seating us in one seat to be consistent and comfortable in one seat.
4.      In this class, a highlight was learning how to program certain things in the commuter. I know now how to creat maps for future reference. I also learned how to collect data and a pivitol table that I think is so helpful for my other classes as well. Being able to work with others is also a highlight.
5.      I could always do better, and I promise I will next semester. There is always room for improvement for everyone and should work better. I’m not saying I didn’t try, because I really did but I learned from my mistakes.
6.      For my college credit, I will pass the AP exam in May. In this class I am learning and preparing myself for the obstacles soon heading towards me. I am halfway reading and still in progress.
7.      Every day I gain a new goal, and since I don’t carry my notebook around, I have a long list in my phones notes. If you ask me, without a hesitation id show you. I will never stop adding goals because there are so many things I want to accomplish. I look at it like a bucket list, a timed goal that will soon make me succeed.

8.      I am a CTR person because I think twice before doing something. I come to school every day with the mentality of wanting to learn something new. I do not smoke nor drink nor miss school. I am thriving towards a better future for myself because not only does it affect me but my loved once. I am been CTR from the start and will be to the end.

Nightmare Machine

Nightmare Machine
(a) The project, appropriately enough, is named "Nightmare Machine." Digital innovators in the U.S. and Australia partnered to create an algorithm that would enable a computer to understand what makes certain images frightening, and then use that data to transform any photo, no matter how harmless-looking, into the stuff of nightmares.
(b) This innovation affects everyone because computers may be used for malicious reasons. But besides that Halloween can be taken to a new level. Holograms can create the best mazes and I can finally be scared endlessly.
(c) This innovation can help therapy doctors with patients that have phobias. usually by the end of treatments, a therapist  makes their patient confront there fear/phobia and this innovation could be perfect. It can be right in front of them realistically and can be turned off at any time.
(d) I think this innovation is so cool because i am a horror fanatic. I live off fear and i think this would be the first time id be physically scared. id pay a lot to be comfront face to face with my fear to get over it.

Internet Censorship

Marilyn Mora
Internet Censorship

What is internet censorship?        
It is the control or suppression of what can be accessed, published or viewed on the internet. Some countries impose direct censorship; others have stringent policies against unlawful posting online while there are countries that are somewhat lenient with videos going viral.
1. It will keep children from being victims of sex trafficking and pornography
-The less the protection, the easier it is for a pedophile to continue his malicious ways

2. It can control illegal activities
-Having censorship can also regulate and stop underage drinking and the use of drugs. Several times I have tried watching a video on my twitter that looks harmless then converts to a murder or pornographic video. They aren’t inevitable if internet censorship would be implanted more.

3. It lessens the incidents of identity theft
- With Internet censorship, it limits the access of personal information.  . By using anti-phishing software, which serves as a form of internet censorship since it warns the user that a kind of software is trying to get access, it gives the user the chance to keep hackers and companies from getting pertinent information.

4. A free society should be able to set limits
-I am one to advocate for freedom of speech, but I think that even that such have restrictions. Without internet censorship, individuals can be victims of cyber bullying and racist speech and way more.

5. It helps in strengthening national security
-By implementing laws against hacking and imposing hefty punishment to violators, national security can be preserved. Without this, terrorist would be able to access important information.

6. Parents cannot be there always to watch out for their kids
-Some parent’s do all they can to protect their kids when they are around but what about when they aren’t. A lot of crimes of these types have to do when their parents are around. I think if a child wants to do something, then they would go far limits to do so. The stricter the parents, the sneakier the kids.

WI-FI

Internet innovation
"The internet changes the world"
WI-FI
(a) The internet has enhanced in variety of ways and i think WiFi is one of the most important. Thanks to Wi-Fi, though, even though your modem still needs to be connected via wires, your computer doesn't. Devices which can use Wi-Fi technology include personal computers, video-game consoles, smartphones, digital cameras, tablet computers, digital audio players and modern printers. Wi-Fi compatible devices can connect to the Internet via a WLAN network and a wireless access point. Such an access point (or hotspot) has a range of about 20 meters (66 feet) indoors and a greater range outdoors.
(b)Being able to take the Web with us (i know i am thankful!) without the need for wires has definitely made our lives better. What other Web technologies have made my life easier and simpler. Wi-Fi provides service in private homes, businesses, as well as in public spaces at Wi-Fi hotspots set up either free-of-charge or commercially, often using a captive portal webpage for access. Organizations and businesses, such as airports, hotels, and restaurants, often provide free-use hotspots to attract customers. Enthusiasts or authorities who wish to provide services or even to promote business in selected areas sometimes provide free Wi-Fi access.
(c) Having WIFI solves problems such as work/school related issues. If you need your assignment due withing a certain time to turn in online, with wifi, you have internet available for you. you can now turn it in through your laptop and will have that availability. this also improves internet traffic when my internet is so slow.
(d) I think this innovation has really made several aspects of my life easier. Sometimes with just the internet i have now, i cant even send a message through twitter nor load an image. It is because of WiFi that helps me get my work done when i get home.

New Friendship bracelets that teach kids how to code

Computer science innovations
New Friendship bracelets that teach kids how to code
(a)Friendship bracelets have always been tending and has been used for several things. Some of them being that friendship bracelets are fashionable, can say what your allergy is(in case of an emergency), and now to teach kids how to code. A new product called Jewelbots aims to elevate friendship bracelets from fashionable status symbols to an interactive, educational tool that teaches kids to code.
(b)This innovation would impact kids themselves and to everyone who wears them. We have to give them something they love so they learn and code," Chipps told Live Science. So, she went directly to the girls and asked them for advice. Their nearly unanimous answer was to design something centered on friendship, according to Chipps.
(c)Jewelbots communicate via Bluetooth, piggybacking on nearby networks to extend their reach, Chipps said. The bracelet is not enabled with wireless or GPS technology to protect kids' privacy. In fact, Chipps added that the bracelet could be programmed to send a text to a parent or guardian if a child is feeling unsafe.
(d) I think this innovation does not fall short and it is a good idea. It introduces kids to the upcoming technological world in which it has and will continue to enhance. The bracelets are for young children to begin learning from a young age how to code and open there eyes. The kids of today are the future and earlier we teach them, the more they'll learn.

Ben Carson

Arete
Ben Carson
(1)Carson's achievements include performing the first and only successful separation of Siamese twins joined at the back of the head, pioneering the first successful neurosurgical procedure on a fetus inside the womb, performing the first completely successful separation of type-2 vertical craniopagus twins, developing new methods to treat brain-stem tumors and reviving hemispherectomy techniques for controlling seizures
(2)Born in Detroit, Michigan, and a graduate of Yale University and the University of Michigan Medical School, Carson has authored numerous books on his medical career and political stances, and was the subject of a television drama film in 2009.
(3) Technology has impacted this greatly because he couldn't have done it without it. He could not have done it with such advanced thorough technology to get Siamese twins through it. It is because of him and technology that they're alive.
(4)Image result for Ben CarsonImage result for Ben Carson
(5) It is great that Ben has done good neurological jobs. He tried and succeed with a surgery that took great patience. There are some things i do disagree with like where he stands politically. One of the things i also dislike is that he feels poverty is a choice. I dont believe so, but i cant change the way he thinks. He has done some good and has spoken very highly of his mother and i admire that. I admired the stories of his mother because i feel as if i cant relate.

Real-Life, Full-Size Transformer

Technology Innovations: "Technology enables innovation in nearly every field"
 Real-Life, Full-Size Transformer
(a)In a series of videos, the company Letvision unveiled a transforming robot built from a BMW 3 Series coupe. Letrons, as the prototype is called, is controlled via a remote and can be seen driving and transforming in the video. It took a team of 12 engineers and four supporting technicians eight months to complete the prototype, Letvision officials said on the company's website.
(b)This innovation affects everybody. In the video, an operator appears to use the remote control to drive the Letrons vehicle across a lot before initiating the machine's transformation. As the BMW slowly unfolds, a robot is revealed and stands tall. 
(c) This innovation could solve traffic. Now cars and people could get to their work easier and faster. the company said it is planning a full line of transforming cars to join the bright-red Letrons, likely including an array of colors and body styles. Though this innovation can have man malfunctions, it can be safer.
(D) I think this innovation is really cool and a dream come true. Ive watched transformer movies all my childhood, and to see them come to life it amazing. Now i think traffic would decrease and the streets would be safer.

Back to the Future Self-Lacing Shoes

Computer science innovations: "Computing enables innovation in nearly every field"
How to Get the 'Back to the Future' Self-Lacing Shoes
(a) These shoes had originally came out in back to the future when marty mcfly put them on. Once you put them on, they have the ability to tie themselves. "Power laces — all right!" In "Back to the Future Part II," teenage time traveler Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) was understandably impressed by a pair of sneakers that conformed to his feet and laced themselves automatically.
(b) This innovation would affect everyone. I'd affect me because sometimes i get too lazy to even tie my shoes. This would also prevent being from tripping and falling. 
(c)The limited-edition release of the 2016 Nike Mag offers the self-lacing sneakers through an online lottery in collaboration with the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. Lottery entries can be purchased with a $10 donation to the foundation; 100 percent of all the proceeds will go toward research for a Parkinson's cure, according to a statement released by Nike.
(d) I think this innovation is actually pretty cool because since i was small i fell in love with them. I loved the shoes and the idea of them lacing themselves. They might be really expensive but the money goes towards a good cause.

What is the internet giveaway?

What is the internet giveaway?

The internet giveway is all in this video: http://video.foxnews.com/v/5147952282001/what-obamas-internet-giveaway-is-really-about/?#sp=show-clips



What this problem is, is that the government is allowed to take a segment of the internet. Now our privacy, is being controlled. The Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration announced the transition plan in 2014, saying it would enhance the "multistakeholder model" of internet governance. The agency said it was always envisioned that the U.S. role in overseeing the functions would be temporary. The announcement came in the wake of Edward Snowden's leaks about NSA surveillance — which sparked questions in Europe and elsewhere about the U.S. role in managing the internet's architecture.

Roger Bannister

Arete
Roger Bannister
(1)In 1954, at the Iffley Road Track in Oxford, England, medical student Roger Bannister becomes the first person in recorded history to run the mile in under four minutes.
(2)Roger was faced with several obstacles, like prioritising two things he loved. In order for him to have gone running, he felt he needed to put med school first.  Bannister had limited time to train, as he was enrolled at St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School. He would run 30 minutes most days, focusing the rest of his time on his study of neurology.
(3) I think technology could have impacted this if there were an easier way to multitask. Maybe in the future theyll be a chine that stops time to let you have time to do other things. 
(4) Image result for Roger Bannister
(5)I see Roger as an inspiration because id like to be able to multitask the way he did. I wish to become a dermatologist and an actress at the same time. Maybe even dancing and singing. He managed to be a doctor and one of the fastest runners ive heard of.

Shrinking Camera Tech Turned Smartphones Into Super Shooter

Computer science innovations
Shrinking Camera Tech Turned Smartphones Into Super Shooters
(A) Cameras in phones are so commonplace now that users take them for granted, but improving the picture-taking capabilities of the newest devices means cramming a lot of tech into a small, and thin, package.
(B) Sakols said that improvements to phone cameras made taking pictures more convenient and allowed the phone to compete with point-and-shoot cameras. This would affect photography because now theyd go out of business. This would also save us more money and time. 
(C)This innovation Would solve the fact of timing. Now youd be able to capture good moments in the best quality. This would save so much money like for a traditional 15, you need to record all of it and it has gotten so expensive.
(D) I would take advantage of this innovation because my hobby is photography. I  love to take pictures and now id be able to take really good ones. I do not have a camera because the prices have gone up, so this would be convenient as well.

Mikaele Oloa

Arete
Mikaele Oloa
At the age of 15, he is still the youngest competitor to have ever won the title and has capabilities of dancing with up to four fire knives. He began dancing at a young age and is most known for his accomplishment of becoming the 2005 and 2006 World Fire Knife Dance Champion in Laie, HI.

Mikaeke Has been training since a young age, following his fathers footsteps. his is an ability he has picked up at the age of 5 when he began training with his father,Isitolo, another competitive fire knife dancer.

Technology could have helped this because, if there were some type of burn prevention for those whom were training, it could have prevented injuries and deaths. He currently assists Kalena's Polynesian 'Ohana in Polynesian dance instruction, choreography, music and is a lead in Tahitian music and composition. His dream is to travel the world and share his love of his culture to everyone.

Reflection: I feel as if, doing this type of activity takes a lot of time, responsibility and ambition. If he didn't want to do this then he wouldn't have tried and probably would have gotten really injured along the way. Hes been doing this since a young boy and has managed to keep motivation for his passion and persevere through this. i dont think id be able to do this but id certainly try.

Detecting emotions with wireless signals

Computer science innovations
Detecting emotions with wireless signals
(A) This innovation can detected you felling at the moment. Whether you're feeling sad, happy, please and joy. By measuring subtle changes in breathing and heart rhythms, EQ-Radio is 87 percent accurate at detecting if a person is excited, happy, angry or sad — and can do so without on-body sensors.
(B) This innovations would impact everybody being used in entertainment, consumer behavior, and health care. Film studios and ad agencies could test viewers’ reactions in real-time, while smart homes could use information about your mood to adjust the heating or suggest that you get some fresh air.
(c)This innovation could help relationships by detected what the other person feels. They beat around the bush? no problem, it can detect the truth. This can help any service management to help satisfy customers and etc.
(D)This innovation caught my attention because the first thing that came to mind was helping out my future relationships. Now id be able to know what they're feeling. I also find it kind of interesting because certain  times id like to keep people in oblivion not knowing how i feel.
Left to right: PhD student Fadel Adib, PhD student Mingmin Zhao, and Professor Dina Katabi pose with their EQ-Radio device, which can detect emotion using wireless signals.

Nathan Sawaya
(1)Previously a NYC corporate lawyer, Sawaya is the first artist to ever take LEGO into the art world and is the author of two best selling books. His unique exhibition is the first of its kind to focus exclusively on LEGO as an art medium and has broken attendance records around the globe. The creations, constructed from countless individual LEGO pieces, were built from standard bricks beginning as early as 2002.

(2)it takes ambition, Nathan Sawaya is the recipient of numerous awards and honors, recognizing his artwork and cultural achievements. In 2014, with the belief that “art is not optional,” Sawaya founded The Art Revolution Foundation, for the purpose of making art a priority in our schools and our homes. He has been a speaker at Google Zeitgeist, TEDx, Yahoo! and at the Clinton Library.

(3)I think technology helped this because now we have our first lego running car. there is no need for gas either, it runs on air. Another innovation is creating weapons and a machine in which it can solve a rubik's cube in 3.5 seconds. 


reflection: i admire him because he gave up his carrer for what he loves.

Wearable Camera Lets You 'Go Back in Time

Wearable Camera Lets You 'Go Back in Time' to Record Fleeting Moments

(1)dont you ever wish you could go back and record that lambo that just raced by, or that awesome jump shot your friend just made? A new wearable camera lets you do just that: go back in time, so to speak, to retroactively capture those fleeting moments you thought you missed.

(2)This innovation would affect all families. We now get to record that funny moment we just missed and save it for future reference. we can now capture our first words and to later show them to the rest of our families. now for moving making, it wouldnt take too many shots since now they can get that one they didn't get to record.

(3)This would now solve people reminiscing. Them wishing they could go back in time, when they can just look in the camera and see that moment. that best moment that was too late to catch in the camera, they now have it.

(4)I think this innovation would help me lots since i am your senior historian and id like to capture all of its best moments. Allowing me to go back in time and take a picture of a football player making a touch down would be perfect. I am also very family oriented and the family photographer, so id like to catch our happy moments as well.

The video was released just yesterday and already has over 100,000 views, which is pretty good! Alex appears in the video with actor Kenneth Choi (Sons of Anarchy, Captain America: The First Avenger).
(2)It took year to get to where he is, with years of practice. He was determined and persistent and never give up. In some videos he was actually 14, so he had been very young to be in tournaments
(3)technology impacted alex because he had said in one of his facebook posts he couldn't have done it without music. In each of those videos he had been listening to music because he would synchronize with it.

Blown to Bits Summary

Blown to Bits Summary  
Throughout the story, several things decided to stand out to me like the fact that once the suicide bombers in London decided to attack, technology was uprooting tremendously and cameras is what everyone would use. I think that whole paragraph explaining the bombing was intresting to me, " On July 7, 2005, London was shaken as suicide bombers detonated four explosions, three on subways and one on a double-decker bus. The attack on the transit system was carefully timed to occur at rush hour, maximizing its destructive impact. 52 people died and 700 more were injured". Little did owell know that his uproot would create more kaos than every and let to the lack of privacy we now face.  The explosive growth in digital technologies radically altered our expectations about what will be private and shifted our thinking about what should be private. Ironically, the notion of privacy has become fuzzier at the same time as the secrecy-enhancing technology of encryption has become widespread. Indeed, it is remarkable that we no longer blink at intrusions that a decade ago would have seemed shocking. Unlike the story of secrecy, there was no single technological event that caused the change, no privacy-shattering breakthrough—only a steady advance on several technological fronts that ultimately passed a tipping point. Now we lack privacy more than ever and I think that's what stood out to me because I advocate towards my freedom. I go against the government guarding me like a puppy. I am a human being and I should be served the rights I was supposedly born with.

Online shopping/e commerce/auctions

Computer science innovations: "Computing enables innovation in nearly every field"
 
Online shopping/e commerce/auctions

a.) This innovation is accessible and one of the most handiest i believe. I use it occationally when transportation is a problem or when its sold it in stores. With this innovation you can buy, clothing, makeup, tools, cars, essentials and more. The internet is your market and will arrive within a certain amount of shipping days.

b.) This innovation affects everybody, because it affects the economy. It affects the company because of demand and it affects us because now we have a convenient shopping method. This impacts stores as well because now people prefer online shoppiong, but sometimes does not because some people dont want to wait for shipping so do store pick-up.

c.) This problem would solve traffic since instead of people going to go to the mall, they just open their laptop and buy it on there. Some things are ven cheaper online so this will help keep money in our pockets

D.) This innovation is one of my favorites because i can usually count on it to buy what i want and what is not in stock at the store. I mean it has its cons, like you aren't able to try it on. If it doesn't fit you it is nonrefundable so youd have to stick with it. I prefer to go to the mall because id be able to walk around and bond with friends.

Carl Karcher

Carl Karcher

Carl Nicholas Karcher (January 16, 1917 in Upper Sandusky, Ohio – January 11, 2008 in Fullerton, California)[1] was an American businessman, founder of the Carl's Jr. hamburger chain, now owned by parent company CKE Restaurants, Inc.

Restaurant business[edit]
Karcher and his wife started their first business, a hot dog stand, on July 17, 1941 in Los Angeles, California when they borrowed $311 against their Plymouth automobile and added $15 from Margaret's purse.The stand initially sold hot dogs and Mexican tamales. On his 28th birthday, January 16, 1945, they opened their first restaurant, Carl's Drive-In Barbecue, in Anaheim

Their restaurant quickly expanded, with the restaurants numbering 100 by 1974 and over 300 by 1981. Karcher served as chairman and CEO of the company until its own board of directors voted him out in 1993 after years of infighting over strategy.

Karcher objected to the sexualized nature of the Carl's Jr. ad campaigns of the 2000s, and was said to have been "heartbroken that a company he founded on Christian principles has taken such an amoral act."

SMART WIND AND SOLAR POWER

Computer Science Innovations: "computing enables innovation in nearly every field"
1. SMART WIND AND SOLAR POWER
A.)This innovation have advanced us in multiple different way by being a replacement for energy.It technically renews its integrating sustainable energy sources into the current power grid. Big data and artificial intelligence have made it easier to predict how much power wind turbines will produce. Anticipating power fluctuations is key to developing technologies for integrating wind and solar into the power grid. Every few seconds, almost every one of the hundreds of turbines records the wind speed and its own power output. Every five minutes they dispatch data to high-performance computers 100 miles away at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder. 

B.) This innovations itself has an impact on everyone. Farmers usually use it and thanks to them we have fresh produce. Without fruits and veggies we are unhealthy people that lack vitamin and nutrients.  Households also have solar power that are more conservative than energy. 

C.)Renewable energy is a practical, affordable solution to our electricity needs. By ramping up renewable energy, we can:Reduce air pollution, Cut global warming emissions, Create new jobs and industries, Diversify our power supply, Decrease dependence on coal and other fossil fuels, Move America toward a cleaner, healthier energy future.

D.) I am a total advocate for this if it means id live in a healthier world. Id want my kids to live with less pollution that i was raised around. I dont want blacks clouds, id want a clear sky id like to look up to.

Mia Hamm

She is a retired American soccer player who competed with the U.S. women's national soccer team for 17 years. She was fifas "best world player of the year" back in the day.  She won the Women's World Cup in 1991 and 1999, and took Olympic gold medals in 1996 and 2004. Her lucky number was 9.

Hamm is a legend is considered the best female soccer player in history. She played with the U.S. women's national soccer team for 17 years, building one of the biggest fan bases of any American athlete. She won the Women's World Cup in 1991 and 1999, and took Olympic gold medals in 1996 and 2004. Hamm held the record for most international goals scored until June 2013, when her record was broken by fellow American player Abby Wambach.

Mia's brother had helped her practice and improve. Maybe if she would of had better cameras like a go-pro in 2004, it would have been easier to see where she had flawed. She could have seen her kicks in slow motion and have been even more of a good player (not possible until 2014).

Image result for Mia HammImage result for Mia Hamm

reflection: she is truly an inspiration because she kept her legendary title as the best world player for 17 years. she thrived and worked extraordinarily hard to have succeeded the way she did. She was a grown woman so she also had a life of the side (her daughter) and found a way to multitask. the lesson here could be that, when you work this hard youll get to where you want to be, and this includes sacrifices.

Luke Aikins

Arete
Luke Aikins
Luke Aikins is an American professional skydiver, base jumper, pilot, and aerial photographer. He is the first person to dive from mid-tropospheric altitude and land safely without a parachute or a wingsuit and the second skydiver to land without using a parachute

With more than 16,000 jumps to his credit, professional skydiver Luke Aikins has performed many heart-stopping stunts, but his latest feat tops them all. On July 30, 2016, the 42-year-old daredevil became the first man in the world to leap off a plane from an altitude of 25,000 feet without a wingsuit or parachute! Instead, he relied on a net that measured 100-by-100-feet, or less than one-third the size of a football field, to break his fall and help him land safely

If it weren't for recording his practices, he wouldn't have gotten better. Also, without the recording, he would have believed a man fell 25,000 feet above the ground without even using a parachute. I know i wouldn't have believed it.



This man had the courage to make a record and make a legend of himself of being the only man to fall that high without a parachute. This meaning to take risks in life even if you know the consequences are bad but the outcome would be better. I know i wouldn't haven't been able to do that. I saw the video as well and he barley made it safely on the net, literally on the verge. i also admire the fact that once he got off the net, the first thing he did was hug his wife. Meaning that he is a big family person and id like to find a guy whom is dedicated to his family.

Marvin Goldstein

Over fifty years, Marvin Goldstein has been a praised pianist and a widely known mormon performer. He has recorded nearly 50 albums and has arranged 15 piano solo arrangement books including many sacred hymns which are available to purchase at his online website. 

When he turned 18, he was awarded a music scholarship to Tel Aviv University School of Music in Israel.After that, he transferred to “Mozarteum” of Salzburg, Austria. He completed his Bachelor and Master of Music degrees at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida. 

If technology could have advanced sooner, Marvin could have been where he is now years ago. He could have taught himself sooner from a mobile devices app or an alternative. I read that he had taught himself by ear over the radio, so the app thing really could have helped.



I think that his excellence can kind of relate to me in the perspective that id like to get into acting or music. id like to get more into that and transfer into a school that'd teach me more and get me to where id like to be. i admire the fact he taught himself and did not depend on anymore. I will be on T.V one day i can promise you that.
