Innovation Reflection (Homework- 9/13/17)

Homework (Day 3):

  • Select an innovation. It can be anything.Describe the positive and negative impacts it has had on the world. (A satisfactory answer reflects awareness and analysis of the effects on populations beyond the students’ immediately locale.)
  • Speculate on how students 25 years from now will answer, "What computing innovation has had a significant impact on your life?" (A satisfactory answer includes a non-trivial consideration of how technology will likely change from, and perhaps build upon, what is currently available)
  • Now think about your parent or an adult in your life and answer the following question based on what you think they would answer (You can also ask an adult this question in your life)"What computing innovation has had the most significant personal impact on your life?“

   
One innovation I have is that when you have rechargeable batteries but don’t have an outlet around you but you have a laptop, the batteries should have an adapter that can charge rechargeable batteries via USB. This allows more freedom on how to charge those batteries for electronics like cameras, lamps, and even a remote control. One huge impact would be that less batteries is wasted, therefore saving up energy for the long term. This could cause more metal and electrical wiring to be created for millions of citizens who would use them.
   
Students 25 years from now would have computing innovations especially public transportation that would leave a big impact to someone’s life. Public transportation is the only way to get around to places, so means to make it cheaper or even easier would be through digital purposes. As trains and buses already started this, paying would be as simple as scanning your phone tied to your bank account. Buses should be electric, since they can save so much energy to take a ton of people somewhere.

My parents said the biggest innovation to them was the smartphone because back then, the computer was the only pathway to the internet. The internet was very slow, they said, taking several minutes to boot up one passage on the web. Nowadays, smartphones are simple with the click of the screen in less than a second. This is very convenient and can save a lot of time for us.

Reflections from Blown to Bits Ch. 3 (Homework- 9/28/17)

Read Blown to Bits (www.bitsbook.com), Chapter 3 , Ghosts in the Machine, pp. 80-88 (Representation, Reality, and Illusion), then answer the following questions: You can find this under forms and docs/Blown to Bits How does highlighting in a PDF doc work? What are the computational ideas utilized? Continue the exploration of HTML by determining how you would complete today’s activity in HTML. Further compare your own protocol with HTML. Reflections from Blown to Bits Chapter 3: Highlighting in a PDF docs works by using a Highlight tool that will send bits over to the letters and alter the binary. The binary is changed so that when the bits processes through, the letters will be the same but highlighted in a color instead. Between my own protocol and today’s activity, they look pretty similar since they are in the same HTML format. My own protocol was a little less precise about fully doing it in HTML due to being new at the protocol.

Blown to Bits Ch. 4 Reflection (Homework- 9/18/17)

Read Chapters 1 and 4 from Blown to Bits.  These chapters can be found on our web site under: forms and docs /Blown to Bits Reflect on the following after reading Chapter 4 from Blown to Bits: Share with stark.brooklinehighschool@gmail.com subject line:Reflection Blown to bits 4. Post this as well on your blog. Discuss the positive and negative results of Overture’s three search engine innovations. How did those innovations turn out today? Search engines from Overture is such a useful way for people to gain knowledge about anything on the inter. Positive consequences is that search engines help us get that tiny bit of specific data we need without looking around too much. Finding data like this without a search engine can be like finding a needle in a haystack. Innovations like the ones listed in the article prove to be useful even today as this can result into people being saved from accidents like Tanya Rider and to further predict danger. However, there can be...
