Poster Project

I have finally decided what exactly i would like to do for my presentation that is due in my emerging tech class. This idea is something that i hope to be innovative, and so new that a rare group of people are the ones who would think of this. My idea happens to be about the brain and dieting. The brain runs basically on electric impulses produced by the brain. These same signals used in the brain and the rest of the body, are carried by the same electric impulses. The idea is that i want to come up with a technology that focuses on the areas of the brain or the impulses that tell the brain that it is eating, tasting a certain food, or is full. I want to do this because it can help people who struggle with diets, and want something that can benefit them in the long run. I believe that this idea will be painless and most importantly, safe. If i can get enough of this idea into a plausible idea, i would also consider taking it to a company to pitch or research! Wish me good luck, because i will need it as i present my poster for those who come to see my classes ideas this upcoming week!!

8 weird ways to save the world

Today, i decided to scope out any new and weird news that is happening around the world. Therefore, i decided that checking out the tech pages at CNN.com was worth a look. Not suprised, i saw an article called 8 weird ways to save the Earth. This article was fascinating, because right off hand you are viewing a ship at see with 4 huge steam stacks that are designed for a greener function as opposed to burning fossil fuels. After reading this article, it reminded me of the class lecture that i listened in on that regarded new technologies that are changing the world. Granted most of the lecture was about cybernetic interfacing with biological subjects, but the idea of changing and advancing towards a new frontier of science and technology peaked my interest. This article goes on to demonstrate technologies in developement to help the world "go green" such as: space frisbee deflectors, carbon sucking machines, and ocean seedings. These are all very cool idea that are being developed, and i hope to see more ideas such as these become real in the near future.

This planet needs to go green. I believe that the root of all the problems come from money glutton buisness men who seek to gain a cheap profit from any source of income they can tap. The earth is suffering as a result of this. Change is needed. Change will come.

Emerging Tech: Future Tech, GO!

Today we just got back our feedback in class regarding our sales pitch of the technology that we came up with. This was some what gratifying as it showed us what it means to do something in a professional manner. We worked hard, and tried our best in presenting this sort of concept. The Nine-To-Five-Spot, seemed to be a very popular idea, although our scores were lower because of our poor presentation regarding use of notecards and "ums". I think that we could have definetly done better if we could have refined our transitions better.

On another note, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has been diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma. This is a terminal cancer that was once thought cured for him 25 years ago. He believes that this is still curable, and that he can be the disease according to his sister. You can read about this at CNN's website here:
