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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

  14. Graphic user interface (GUI)
  15. Digital photography/videography
Mobile Phones
What makes a mobile phone so distinctive is that its not like a pager to remind you to answer, or like a house phone that can only be answered at home. This type of phone is taken wherever and can be used at any time. Now-a-days mobile phones have advanced so much, now having internet, opening doors to social media. Some people can't even last a day without their phones now.

Having a mobile phone, i think impacts the adolescence the most because now they're every move is being shadowed. Now, a parent can track everything a child does(the stricter the parents, the sneakier the kids). Its also easier for children to talk to people around the world and might be talking to the wrong people. but enough with the negative, it has a lot of goods coming from it, like now you can reach your child at any time. if your child needs help or a lending hand, its convenient to call or text you at any time.

little known facts

  • Your mobile phone has more computing power than the computers used for the Apollo 11 moon landing.
  • In 1983, the first mobile phones went on sale in the U.S. at almost $4,000 each.
  • Mobile phones have 18 times more bacteria than toilet handles.
  • In Japan, 90% of mobile phones are waterproof because youngsters use them even in the shower.
  • Mobile Phone Radiation can cause Insomnia, headaches and confusion.

Having a phone can solve worrying for someone, for when you're looking for them you can just call them. it can also solve crimes such as, if a cop is beating down an innocent person, you can record it and report it. Another example being, since now we carry the phones anywhere, you can access easily to call 911 in case of anything. 

If it weren't for this innovation, id probably be walking home because everyday i get out of practice a different time and i can just call them once i get out. There are so many handy things a phone has done for my and im thankful for this innovation.
