...Unit 1 Research Paper 1: Paradigm Shift Introduction In the past, virtual reality technology was thought of by many as a gimmick, and the hope for it to become a mainstream technology was discarded as products did not work as how the public envisioned. However, the proper technology is now available to make virtual reality just that: a reality. The entertainment industry is on the verge of a monumental paradigm shift that will completely transform the way these entertainment mediums are experienced. The typical experience of video games is one with a controller with joysticks that are used to control where the playable character is looking along with a monitor or television screen in front of the player. Today, this scenario is so typical that the detachment between the player and what is happening on the screen is something considered to be normal in the experience. In the next couple years however, this detachment will be largely erased as working virtual reality headsets become available to consumers across the world. Summary of Key Findings One notable product in the field of virtual reality technology is the Oculus Rift. What makes this product and others like it different from the virtual reality fad that permeated the entertainment industry a few decades ago? The Rift uses 360 degree low latency head tracking, an integral part of the complete virtual experience. In previous VR headsets, the latency, or delay, between a player’s head movement and the visual representation...

...Hutchison, John 5/21/15 The topic of this research is to provide a detailed insight into the job duties and responsibilities of a network administrator. At an early age I developed a strong interest in computers and technology. Always around my oldest brother as he plays his PC games and every time the internet would go out or if his computer was malfunctioning internally I was always amazed watching as he fixed it. So therefore, in high school I began taking classes to assist me in a computer career. At first I didn’t know which form of technology I wished to pursue until I took a Cisco networking class. All the man networks and groups connecting together, it filled me up with joy just partaking in this kind of knowledge. It was until then I discovered that I wanted to be a network administrator. I will then proceed to discuss the fundamentals of a network administrator. More specifically I will discuss the Job responsibilities, salary and other career areas that may be pursued in addition to that of a network administrator. While reading the information presented, one will be able to summarize the benefits of being a network administrator, as well as gain the insight to the duties and responsibilities of such. The duties of a Network and computer systems administrator determine what an organization needs in a network and computer system before it is set up. Then install all network hardware and software and make needed upgrades and repairs. They also maintain network and...

...Christopher Hernandez GS 1145 Introduction: Mobile Technology has evolved rapidly over the past few years. A standard mobile device has gone from mobile phone to a hand held gaming system, web browser and GPS navigation device. Not to mention the ever so popular tablet computers. Summary of key findings: Mobile Technology has led to anyone being reachable at anytime, day or night. It has literally shrunken the world to the palm of your hand. Although convenient I believe it has led to a people becoming Anti- social. Due to the lack of personality it has become common for people not to know how to react to real world problems. The environmental impacts of mobile technology are overwhelming. It is estimated that 61 percent of the world population owns some type of mobile device. It leaves us with 140 million phones being dumped in landfills. Not to mention the cardboard packaging and foam going to waste increasing the amount of trash. Keeping a mobile device on person makes it easier than ever to contact 911 in case of an emergency immediately. With no need to waste time trying to locate a phone to use. It is estimated that 70 percent of 911 calls are made from a mobile device. Even in non emergencies, for example a car emergency mobile devices make requesting help much easier. Conclusion: We are already seeing a slow down in the advancement of mobile technology. Not because a lack of technology, But a lack...

...As a Christian, I know that I came from Jesus. In Jeremiah 1:5, Jeremiah describes an encounter with the Lord. Jeremiah writes, "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart for my holy purpose. I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations." God formed me and created me because He has a specific purpose for my life. Genesis 2:7 says, “Then the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man's nostrils, and the man became a living person.” God created Adam, and from him He created Eve. I am a descendent of Adam and Eve, the very first creation of man by God. I am a child of God, created to work for His purpose. I am a sinner, because I am a descendent of the imperfect Adam and Eve who at first lacked the Holy Spirit. My purpose is to glorify God, and share His word with others. He has given me talents...

...3D Printing: Impacting Our Future 3D Printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a technology that has been around for a while already, but in recent years technological advances have made it significantly cheaper and more attainable for many people. You can print 3D images designed on a computer with a 3D modeling program, or you can scan an object with a 3D scanner to be replicated. To print the model of the digital file the program hypothetically slices the image into a bunch of different horizontal layers. There are a few technologies used for 3D printing, the most widespread technologies are Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), and Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). In the SLS method a high powered laser melts and fuses tiny particles of metal, plastic, ceramic, or glass powder until the desired shape is achieved. In the FDM process a continuous feed of metal or plastic wire is fed through a heated nozzle melting the material briefly while it forms the object. One major impact that 3D printing could impact the future is bio-printing, or the replication of human bodily tissue through 3D printing. If you’re in need of a new kidney, instead of waiting for a compatible donor, the doctor, in theory, would be able to go to his computer load up kidney.obj press ctrl + p and within minutes begin the operation. There are many more ways the technology could help the medical fields of study, such as reproducing human bones or blood vessels. Artificial limbs could...

...Week 1 Research Paper BIS/220 Colette Gardner Week 1 Research Paper Advances in ethical issues that arouse from the Children’s Internet Protection Act were Internet use for children in schools and libraries. Children needed to be blocked from the obscenities found on the Internet. The act also is permits for the low cost of Internet access for schools and libraries using the governments E-rate program. The E-rate program has several parameters that need to be met before the disbursements of funds. These parameters need to be met solely by the school or library. The parameter of the act states that web filtering and monitoring over the children must be in place prior to a school or library to receive funding from the E-rate program. These filters block offensive material on the Internet such as child pornography and obscene pictures. The schools also need to have two certifications. The Internet safety policies for the organization must include monitoring of activities and must provide education to minors about appropriate online Internet behavior. The ethical issue arose from this act when government was giving low-cost internet access to schools and they were not held accountable for the material being viewed by the students. The Do Not Call Implementation Act was for just the same as the previous act. It was formed so the public would not be solicited on the telephone. This...

...Research Paper 1: Paradigm Shift Argus II Retinal Prosthesis System is created by Second Sight design for people that are suffering from blindness. It starts with an epiretinal prosthesis implant which is an implant placed on top of the retina. Also attach is an antenna, electronics case, and an electrode array. Those parts are than connected to glasses, cable, and video processing unit. How it works is a small camera in the glasses capture an image than is processed by VPU that is attached to the belt. It than sends the instruction back through the cable to the glasses. They are than wirelessly transmitted to the antenna in the implant. Which go to the electrode array that creates a small pulse of electricity. These pulses stimulate functioning cells bypassing the damage photoreceptor. They then send visual information through the optical nerve to the brain. The patient is than able to see pattern of light. One impact is the ability to see anything as a person with blindness. They being able to see an image that is not just darkness. To see a world in not just one color but in a variety of colors. Second to be able to see motion in front of them. Moving object would be able to be seen. To see what the things making sound are and what are they. Third impact is what it would do to their self-confidence. It would boost it immensely for they would not have to rely on another being to do something. To be able to walk outside and not have to rely on a walking stick, a person...

...Unit 2: Research Paper 1 GS1140 The speed limit is 65 mph and I’m at a stand-still! Why must this happen every morning and afternoon? Traffic will always be an ongoing problem. The more the population grows, the more congested our roads get with more vehicles. Besides leaving hours before traffic starts to avoid traffic jams there has to be another solution. Some solutions include: employee parking cash-out, tolls for single use carpool lanes, and tolls during high peak hours on freeways. An employee cash-out can reduce the amount of vehicles on the road by giving an incentive not to drive (Bullokk, 2011). Companies would give a certain amount each month to the employee who participates in the program. Through data mining, the decrease in the demand of parking can be obtained. The information needed to gather this would be: the number off employees in the program, the financial incentive amount, and the amount of time the incentives were given at separate but equal intervals (Bullock, 2011). A decrease in cars on the road would limit the amount of traffic on the road and also free up precious parking space. Tolls for single use carpool lanes will also benefit in decreasing traffic. The carpool lane is mostly always free of traffic during rush hours which is good for carpoolers, but also counter intuitive. The carpool lane turns into a wasted lane if people are not taking advantage of carpooling. Sensors can be placed in cars to automatically charge the fare for...

...Cindy Vargas GS 1140 Unit 2 Research Paper 1 The issue that I want to bring to the table is that our prisons in the United States are filling quickly with repeat offenders. If there was a way to rehabilitate the prisoners why not take it? It would appear from the research that I’ve done that our prison system is geared more towards punishment than rehabilitation. Throughout this paper I will discuss the program I think we need to help reduce the overcrowding of prisons and the return of previous criminals. The Department of Justice data shows that around 730 in every 100, 000 people are incarcerated in the U.S. We currently have 2.2 million people behind bars equal to the size of Houston, Tx. (Natasha Lennard, 2012). My proposition is to adopt the Israeli rehabilitation program into our justice system. Israel is a small country of a population at about 8 million people. This small country has 32 prisons and only estimated 18, 000 people incarcerated. Their recidivism of repeat offender rates are amongst the lowest in the word (Matt Lebovic, 2012). At Hermon prison in Galilee still has the same security measures that you expect from a prison. The way that they treat the inmates and the way the inmates interact with each other is what makes this program so special. The inmates aren’t called inmates they are called “residents”, they walk around the prison as if were a college campus. The unrestricted access to each other is what helps them integrate back into society. They...
