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.
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.

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).
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
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.
