Flash Talk Takeaways

     Thanks to my flash talk, I was able to learn so much more about internet censorship than I ever knew before. I owe this to the extensive research I did so that I could write my speech. I learned about the dangers of the internet, the government involvement as well as the TCP. My partners also seem to get a deeper understanding of what it is like to have the internet censored. They understood the importance of restraint for the better of our children as well as the importance of the dark web. We all agreed that the form of restraint that we have now is so much better than not having any at all because not having any would put us in danger. I also got an insight of what is expected for my performance task and how I will go about it. Next time around I will be a lot more detailed and target more specific internet content. 

Internet Innovations: Search Engines

A.     Search Engines are the portals that allow us to search for the things we want to look for. They allow us to do research and even just explore. Without them we wouldn’t be able to find any web pages.

B.     Web Browsers impact everyday users like me. When I am doing research, I simply type in my search queries and a search engine will give me all the results and web pages so that I can find what I am looking for.

C.     It will solve the problem of aimlessly searching other places which can lead us to false information. Thanks to search engines we are able to get results in seconds as opposed to searching for hours.

D.     I think this is a very helpful innovation that we fail to appreciate more often. I can’ picture my life without it. Research and project would be so hard to do without it.

Computer Science Innovations: BMW Futuristic Motorcycle

A.  This vehicle concept is called the Motorrad Vision Next 100. It is so advanced, motorcycle riders would no longer need to use protective gear such as helmets. Also, a distinguishable feature is that the motorcycle would balance on its own.

B.  It will impact many vehicle riders and motorcycle riders across the world. It is an alternate method of transportation as well as it helps the environment.

C. It will solve issues dealing with safety. So many more accidents would be avoided due to the fact it is self-driving. Also since it sends signals from other cars, they can be alerted to avoid accidents. It also helps pollution, as the motorcycle is electric.

D. I think this innovation is an insight to the future. It’s just the start to the future transportation we are to have. It is beginning to open the portal to self- driving vehicles. 

Ben Carson

1.     Ben Carson was a neurosurgeon that achieved fame by separating two conjoined twins and offered groundbreaking work to the medical field.

2.    After trying to separate the Makwaeba twins and failing he continued to persevere and practice. When he attempted to separate Luka and Joseph Banda, the operation was successful despite the fact that it was an extremely difficult operation.

3.    Technology impacted this arête experience because it is necessary in order to perform such drastic operations and without the use of technology, this operation would have been unsuccessful.

4.    I think this is an amazing arête experience because it inspires me to preserver to become a physician. He is inspiring many children across the nation and contributing to his community. 

Technology Innovations

Car-to-Car Communication

A)     Car to car communication is a technology that will let cars broadcast their position, speed, steering-wheel position, brake status, and other data to other vehicles within a few hundred meters. 

B)     It will impact drivers around the city because now they can use this method as a way of safer transportation and promote safe driving.

C)     It will solve the problems of crashing. Now if you come to a sudden stop you can alert cars so they are prepared. If you are making an unexpected turn you can alert cars. So many more accidents will be avoided this way.

D)     This innovation is amazing in my opinion. The rate of car accidents will be at an all time low if it happens.

Back to the Future Self Lacing Shoes

A) These shoes were seen in a Back to the Future film and Nike finally recreated them and they have sensors that will tighten and adjust to your foot accordingly. Only 89 pairs of these shoes are available. 

B) It will impact the community with Parkinson's disease because a large portion of the funds will go towards the organization. 

C)It will solve the problem that we will now have a perfect pair of perfect fitting shoes without the hassle of tying them. 

D)I think this is a very cool, unique pair of shoes, with a good cause. However, personally I would not wear them. 

The Internet Giveaway

          The Obama administration promised that the United Nations would never take control if the United States decided to give up protection of the internet. In reality the U.N control is very likely to take over.  Americans for Limited Government requested records of all that having to do with legal issues. The Obama Administration rejected the request. In 22 days if the Congress doesn’t do anything about it, a large portion of the internet will be given to the United Nations. If this proposal happens there will be damage upon the internet and it can ruin our nation as well as freedom of speech.
