Emerging technology Part one

The article that I read “Facebook's Timeline” was about how the time line on face book is collecting Allot of Data about its billions of users. Such as when they bought a car or a house and it can show what people are most likely to buy a product. This will make it much easier to collect data about people in the future. The thing that surprised me the most is that all of this information is right at our finger tips and it’s not as hard to get as we think it is. The possibilities for the future are that a business could simply go on Facebook to retrieve information about their consumers and who would buy their product rather than using other ways to get the information. I think that this is a great use of a social networking site. The second article I read from 2009 is called “TR10: $100 Genome” It talks about how “a physician could biopsy a cancer patient's tumor, sequence all its DNA, and use that information to determine a prognosis and prescribe treatment-- all for less than the cost of a chest x-ray. If the ailment is lung cancer, for instance, the doctor could determine the particular genetic changes in the tumor cells and order the chemo­therapy best suited to that variant.” It’s sadly not to that point yet but is expected to get there within the next year.

Report V. PodCast

I liked doing the podcast more than i liked doing the report because i wasn't interested in the person what so ever. Google worked well for me because it was hard to find things on Luis Walter Alvarez. I had trouble finding info on his fammily. The project would have been more fun if we got to choose our own person (such as Trevor Bayne) or if we got to work with a partner.

Famous person Luis Walter Alvarez


Luis Walter Alvarez Research paper

By: Lynsie Spackey, Hour 4  

            Luis Walter Alvarez was born in San Francisco California June 13th, 1911 to his father who was a doctor and his mother who was a missionary’s daughter and had trained as a grammar school teacher before getting married. He went to the University of Chicago for prep school and college. Luis received his B.Sc. from the University of Chicago in 1932, a M.Sc. in 1934, and his Ph.D. in 1936.

Early in his career He worked mostly in the fields of optics and cosmic rays. And he co-discovered the "East-West effect" in cosmic rays. Alvarez is a member of: National Academy of Sciences, American Philosophical Society, American Physical Society America Academy of Arts and Sciences, and National Academy of Engineering. He was named California scientist of the year in 1960.

            In 1940 he built a radar system for the government. Also what he is known for most is making the Atom bomb. Even though it was a huge success and it won the war for the United States, He was still sad that all those people died. I think this shows allot of good character, because even though it was a huge accomplishment he was still worried about the people that got hurt. 

            Alvarez had a wife and two children names Walter and Jean. Walter and Luis came up with the theory that an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs. When he was 77 he died on September 1, 1988.

Reflection

When the deputy from my school came in to talk about Online safety i learned ALLOT. I realized i am doing everything right except me and my friends do go on chat rooms once in a while but i don't do that anymore because it isn't safe. I learned that i should allways tell and adult if something on the internet makes me feel uncomfortable. And finally i learned that girls are abducted from our area all the time.
