...Friday class 6-10 pm Unit 1 research paper 1 Computers are an amazing tool that we as a people have developed. Computers help people in so many ways it almost seems like life would be impossible without them. Computers are used in pretty much every aspect of life in today’s world. The technology of computers is amazing and it just continues to get more powerful every day. Computers have had an impact in just about every industry in the world. Computers made medical procedures so much easier. Now doctors can do surgery using cameras and computers. This makes it easier for the doctor and results in less mistakes and better recovery. The patients receive smaller openings when receiving computer integrated surgery. The doctor can move a lot more accurately and cut more accurately with this technology. Another way that computers have impacted the world is by harnessing the power of the internet. The internet is a great tool for everybody. It makes studying and researching a lot easier for students. It also helps people communicate. Communication has never been easier. People in the United States can talk to somebody across the world with a click of a button. This also means people are more aware of what goes on throughout the world. Computers are also in cars. Google has developed a car that can drive itself. This is huge because the computer can actually drive your car for you. According to Technology review.com “Google’s cars have successfully driven more than 700,000 miles...

...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...

...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...

...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...

...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...

...1970’s Dartmouth Basic- was created by John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz on May 1, 1964. Basic stands for Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code . The aims of the BASIC system were: to develop a system and language that was friendly, easy to learn and use, to introduce computing as an adjunct to other courses, to operate an open access policy (i-programmer.info, 2010). Pascal- was created by Niklaus Wirth in 1972. He wanted a language suitable for teaching but for teaching computer science. It is best described as a simplified version of Algol. It was simplified both to make it easier to learn and to make it easier to compile (i-programmer.info, 2010). C- Was created by Ken Thompson iin the form of B and tweaked by Dennis Ritchie and renamed C in the 1970’s. It was the original code Unix was written in. Its function was for ease of use (i-programmer.info, 2010). Forth- was created by Charles H Moore in the 1970’s. The motivation behind this language was for both interactive execution of commands and the ability to compile sequences of commands for later execution (i-programmer.info, 2010). PLEX (Programming Language for EXchanges)- was created by Goran Hemdahl at Ericsson in the 1970’s. It is a special-purpose, pseudo-parallel and event-driven real-time programming language dedicated for AXE telephone exchanges, It is a propriatary language (i-programmer.info, 2010). 1980’s Atari ST BASIC – Atari commissioned MetaComCo to write a version of BASIC that...

...Task 1: Speech is the ability humans have developed to communicate between themselves with the sound produced by their mouth and nose. There are two types of speech sounds: The voiced and unvoiced one. A voiced sound is created when air pass through our vocal cord in direction of the mouth. This air vibrates in a certain frequency, normally between 50 and 400 Hz that produces the sound heard and desirably understood by the receiver ears. This frequency is controlled by varying the shape of the air channel, as changing the mouth position or the tongue, working as a filter, allowing the desired frequencies for the expected sound to pass; and by the speaker age and sex. The unvoiced speech are created by making air go through an opening, not vibrating the vocal cords, and, consequently, not been as...

...Introduction to Networking We often use the work “network”, without knowing what the real meaning is or what the technical meaning is. In easy words, a network is a group of computers connected by a transmission device. A computer which is not connected to any other computer is called a “stand-alone computer”. There are also 2 types of networks, peer-to-peer and client/server. Peer-to-peer is a ‘small’ group of computers directly connected. In peer-to-peer, all computers have authorization to do whatever and resources maybe equally shared. An example of peer-to-peer is connecting several computers to 1 Windows account, allowing them to be connected. Another type of network is client/server. In client/server, there is a main computer which...

...Q1. (i) I have depicted the 3 naturally accruing isotopes of hydrogen. Hydrogen-1, sometimes known as Protium or just hydrogen, hydrogen-2, also known as Deuterium and finally Hydrogen-3, which is also known as Tritium. Although each isotope has a different number of neutrons; 0, 1 and 2, respectively. This has no impact on their chemical properties. But, it does however affect the physical properties. Namely their mass. Whereas Hydrogen-1 has an atomic mass of 1amu, Hydrogen-2 has an atomic mass of 2, due to the presence of a neutron in addition to the proton within the nucleus. And Hydrogen-3 has an atomic mass of 3amu as a result of another additional neutron. Each isotope also differs in its’ nuclear binding energy, this is a result...
