Blog 8a Jeff Hann

Jeff Han's invention is remarkable a multi-touch, high resolution computer screen. He is truly amazing I don't even know where to begin, on how difficult it must have been to be created. You can use all 10 fingers to make dots, draw images, anything you want. It is very amazing that someone is smart enough, to figure out how to do this. The coolest part about it is that the keyboard is on the computer screen also. You can adjust the keyboard size to ergonomically fit to the size of your hand. Which eliminates Repetitive Stress injuries due to the unatural conformity of the keyboard with the size of your hand. It will be interesting if his invention will change the way we use computers. It will be very interesting to see if our generations children will be using the multi-touch, high resolution computer screen in our schools, and every day life.

Week 7 Blog William Kamkwamba

This is truly an amazing feat this boy at the age of fourteen has developed a windmill from spare parts to power his home. That is truly amazing, he is similar to Thomas Edison in a way, he was not looked upon as having no real intelligence and he developed something so remarkable. Thomas Edison invented the light bulb and William Kamkwamba developed a windmill to power his home. He is not just stopping with that, he plans to build a large windmill that is powerful enough to provide electricity to his entire village. He is a kid with a dream and he has turned into a celebrity as a result. This man will probably eventually help the world with green house gas emissions by going green and rely less on oil and more on the natural forces of nature. If he has done all of this by the age of nineteen, there is no telling what he will do in the future.

Phishing/Internet Scams

I thankfully have not had a problem of this type. I think the people who con you into these bogous acts, making false claims and stealing your money should be put in jail for a long time. It is just common when you think you are putting money into a fund and it is really just going into someones pocket. Like after hurricane Katrina you heard information all over the news to be careful of internet scam artists. It is wrong when thousands of people have just died and you are making false claims to turn a profit you should be ashamed. Internet Scam artists should be required to pay double of what they stole from that individual. Put in prison for at least 10 years.

David Bolinsky's Ted Talk

I think that the inside of the human body is really similar to the human life that we have here on earth. I say that because all of the cells, molecular molecules, proteins, etc... work together together to make your body keep on living. Here on earth, each and every organism has a niche that another species relys on to survive. For example without trees we wouldn't be able to survive, because we wouldn't have oxygen to breathe.
Your heart is really the center of the universe or the sun. Every thing relys on that one thing to survive. We rely on the sun in nature for photosynthesis for the food that we eat. In your body if it wasn't for heart none of the other organisms would live. They are all responsible for the different tasks and living in different places. It is almost like they are different countries living in their own climatological places like the stomach, kidneys etc... They are living on their part of their globe minding their own business with out the other half knowing anything. But without each other life wouldn't exist.
