Breakthrough tech!!

     From the article I just read about 10 Breakthrough technologies is from my explore task in the summer I wrote about the 3D printer I know about the printers are now able to melt down some metals and make a prototype through the pinter. I also knew that they metals were slowly improving to become faster to melt down but also stronger when the metals have cooled off. The 3d printer has become cheaper over time and has made it way into hobbyist and designers. The Artificial embryos have me intrigued but also concerned. It is really interesting on how they can take stem cells and are able to form an almost alive creature or the start of the process. For the Sensing city project, it just sounds weird to me. The one I found the most interesting was the genetic fortune telling. It like a report card on what could be wrong with you or predict what you could have in the future. It amazes me that already 1 million people have tried. I know the big companies of 23 and Me and also Ancestry offers their own kit of salvia sampling and figure out where you are from in the world and also what unique about your genotype.

For the ones, I found about interesting for society were artificial embryos, genetic fortune telling, sensing city, AI for everybody, and Babel fish Earbuds. While they are more from the article these are the one that jumped out to me for society because they affect in a pro or con. Either it can connect you to your lost ancestry or the human race may never have to reproduce expect to hand over stem cells. Also trying to fix the environment or trying to figure out human behavior throughout an urban area. The earbuds can break through language barriers. All of these inventions depend on human decisions. While it can connect the world together it is truly up to us to take that leap. When it comes down to the economy it takes a lot of money to start up the process. With each invention, it about playing the long gaming or perfecting your invention but also it has to sell and earn interest back either for the purpose of the invention or project. For the culture aspect, the Babel Fish Earbuds, as stated before, would break language barriers but also may disturb the culture part. While you may be able to understand the language in your native language it also part of their culture to speak it.

The internet is for everyone

The internet is for everyone was a concept from the mind of Vint Cerf as a plea to the people who write and define standards to make sure the engineering it available to everybody around the world.

  1. It would be everywhere- While the first one of being affordability I believe that it more possible to make a system of where everybody in the world has access to a computer. In my school, they have computer labs. They have also started out with each kid had an Ipad but made the switch to each student have a computer thought out their schooling years. From my personal experience with a computer in school in the elementary levels, they have a cart of Ipads that are rented out for each classroom when they wanted to be used. When I got the middle school level they school gave a MacBook Air for each student throughout the year. At the end of out the 8th-grade year, they offered are computer up to sale for us to buy for the high school. If we decided not to buy our computer they offered the 8th graders computer up to the high school's students if they needed one. When I moved to Cap Cod Ma they offered chrome books to their students at Sandwich High school.

Field trip!

      At the Chatham Maronci Maritime center, the station that stuck out to me was the enigma machine and the simulator that went along with them. I also enjoyed walking around the wireless station and learning about how the technology evolved. While it was nice to hear from someone who made a career in data science. I was bored but my reason behind it was I had no questions that needed to be answered. It was a nice presentation and learned about what you go do in the field. I am not going to lie but I almost fell asleep on station one which was the movie station. The movies were interesting to watch but I know from my learning habits. I enjoy to do hand on activity. Which is why I enjoyed the Enigma machine. When building one with all the telephones I enjoyed looking inside the machines when it taking apart. For the presentation, I enjoyed that I go to see another perspective about a field that is in computer science. Back to my original thought I just knew nothing about data science to ask questions and felt a little confused about what it is. I would have enjoyed it more if someone else int he computer science field came in talked as well.

Fahrenheit

In this lab, we were set on our own and made our code to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit. the biggest problem in this lab was getting used to working in CS50 after not using it for a while. For the code, I knew what needed to be done but has trouble remembering the small details. Such as (%.1f\n), I went back into my calculator project and then remembered to add it in. Also in this lesson, we used the CHECK 50 and STYLE 50. Not going to lie I did forget my password to it took a while to make the CHECK 50 work. Once I got my password down the code ran smoothly and passed. Then the STYLE 50 gave looking good. While the CHECK 50 gave me all smiley faces.

Day Twelve Create

1) Today was a day of getting everything organized and what truly still needed to work on in my code. I made a google doc labeled Real creat...
