The Internet Changes the World

The innovation I decided on was social media. In the last few years social media has boomed. We have outlets like instagram, twitter, facebook just to name a few that millenials use as a way to say what they feel with little judgement. Despite the negative impact it has had on society social media can be helpful in the way that people can connect with their friends even when they are seperated by distance. Also social media has alowed people to become more cultured and understanding. In a way you can say that social media has influence a generation to become more understanding of one anothers forms of living. Also there have been countless situations where social media has saved lives. For example there was a a group of snowborders got lost in the swiss alps. By using twitter they were able to find each other. I find that this innovation is very useful in this day in age because of the way we can connect with one another. I can send a message to someone in China and they will recieve that message within seconds.

Computer Science Innovation: 360 View Helmet

This camera allows you to have a 360 degree view of your surroundings while you are bicycling. This helmet in addition to the extra eyes also has a built in GPS. This helmet will help prevent 20,000 cycling casualties that occur yearly. It is said that this helmet will also be able to connect to bluetooth. The tecnology isn't the helmet itself but the visor that comes with it. I believe this innovation is very creative. You can tell that someone put a lot of thought into making this device. I'd like to see how Google Glass is incorporated into this helmet as mentioned in the article.

Ben Carson

Ben Carson is a successful neurosergeon with humble backgrounds. He is the only person to successfully seperate siamese twins. Over the course of his career Carson has made several medical advances for the neurosergical field. He became the man he is today because of the work ethic given to him by his mother who worked three jobs at a time to take care of her family as a single mother. After finishing high school he went on to study at Yale then to University of Michigan Medical School. Technology Carson used that impacted his Arete experience could have been MRI's which are used to see inside the body. I think what Ben Carson did was revolutionary. Not only did he become the first person to perform thesse procedures but he was also a black man. At the time he was studying this could have hindered his Arete experience but it didn't. Instead of staying in the hole of poverty he made his life better by studying.

Computer Science Innovation: Genome Editing

This innovation uses a DNA engineering known as CRISPR. Using CRISPR allows scientists to decide which genes they want in a fertilized egg. This innovation will impact scientists who research diseases. This research may lead to cures of many common diseases that as well as brain disorders such as Alzheimer's and autism. The way this would work is that scientists would be able to identify what gene causes certain diseases. I believe that this innovation is the future of the biomedical field. In the future we may not have to worry about these diseases.

Computer Science Innovation: Self Tying Shoelaces

The innovation I chose was self tying shoelaces, similar to the shoes that appeared in the famous film, Back to the Future II. These shoes use a device that can tell how tight your shoes should be. Though they were promoted as the shoes that appeared in a film almost thirty years ago they were created to help people with Parkinson's. people with have uncontrollable tremor that may make it difficult to do everyday tasks such as eating or tying shoelaces. The profit for these shoes will go to research for a cure for Parkinson's and there may be more in development. I think this innovation is very cool. I just hope that these shoes are not too expensive so that they may be available for everyone.

What is the Internet Giveaway?

This internet giveaway is confusing. I don't understand why so many people are complaining about this because it will not really affect the government's power over the internet. It was stated that no one will end up having more power because of this giveaway. It is more symbolic if anything. People complaining about this giveaway just want the US to be in control of everything.
