Asgar & Bradford

Bradford showed some amazing technology upgrades for the future. It was really cool how the computer pretty much acted like the human brain, thinking and acting on it's own. In our time, computers have to be programed or told what to do, but maybe not anymore in the not-so-far future. In the Asgar clip showed us how technology has increased over the years and will steadily increase in the years to come.

This website is all about Artificial Intelligence. First of all it describes in detail what AI is and how it can affect us in the future and now. It has links to the information on the history of AI, how it is used, and much more.

Thomas Barnet

Thomas Barnett is ahead of his time when he promotes ideas of government and how America handles war time. The idea that we are training young men to be killing machines, then trying to make them become peace keepers is ridiculous. I agree with Thomas Barnett when he states that there should be two sides of government. One side to handle war affairs, and another side to be peacekeepers. This way it is easier to look at the pro's and con's of both points of view and decide more accurately if war is necessary or not needed.

Jeff Han

The touch screen that Jeff Han created is amazing. You can click and drag, resize and all that good stuff.

William Kamkwamba

This guy, William Kamkwamba, is what you may call a child prodigy. When he was at the age of 14 years old he created an electric out of a bicycle and some pipes and house hold items just from reading a book. Since then he has been able to create light bulbs and radios.

Myspace

Myspace is the most visted website of 2007? That is sad. Personally I dislike myspace. It seems like a place to make friends if you cant make them in real life. I just say this because you make yourself seem like anything you want, and with all the liars out there, your not truly meeting someone, your just meeting what they want you to meet, if that makes sense. Myspace inspires liars.

David Bolinsky

David Bolinsky, a Medical instructer for Harvard with a graphic design background researches and puts together videos and pictures of what our bodies truly look like from the simplest form. The video he showed about the hundreds of micromachines working and running around in a single cell is amazing. He claims that humans almost know a (singular) percent a bout how the micromachines work.

David Gallo: Underwater astonishments

David Gallo talks about the deep blue that we have barely explored. He comments that we have found only about 3% of the organisms in the sea, due to the water pressure and the lack of light. He shows us some awesome video clips of bioluminescent fish, a squid that can camouflage itself to look like a reef or rock, and a video of a male squid that can change to white when its aggressive. The male squid is able to make half of himself white to keep off other males (when around a female) and the side thats facing the female squid stays its regular orangish-red color.

David really does a good job showing us the wonders of the deep blue sea that we have barely scratched the surface of.

Sir Ken Robinson

Does school kill creativity? no. If it did, then why would they offer such classes as Band and art. If they offered a dancing class, like Sir Ken suggested, that would lead (at least in our area) to a lot of name calling and making fun of. Sure I hate school, I hate sitting in a chair for hours and being lectured at, but what really kills creativity? many people give credit to the TV for that.

I think the real question is, does School bore us to death to the point where we dont want to be creative? Yes. School could be more interesting, any many ways. Any change really would be nice. But a dancing class? Maybe it would help 1 in a 100, but every day people are not going to make a living off of dancing like the producer of Cats.

Hilarious

This has nothing to do with anything. Its just a random funny commercial that I found on youtube and wanted to post it before I forgot about it. (the accents crack me up)
