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.
