Gap year

social ingenuity gaps. At the beginning of the book, the author explain that they can solve the social ingenuity gap, but the last chapter that we had focused on (which was “Techno-Hubris”), the author mainly discussed issues on the technical and the technological ingenuity gaps. As we looked further in the book, the author give us valid examples of each ingenuity gap that make his views coincide those of the Clay Shirky.

was taking a gap year off after high school. I had all the time in the world to find out who I wanted to be and how I wanted to pursue my future. The lucky ways I was able to expand my knowledge was traveling and working full time. I also had time to do absolutely nothing. I am a huge believer that traveling is good for the heart and soul. Everyone should have a chance to experience different cultures and how others live. Also to relax and rewind because it's healthy for you. My gap year…

Introduction Quantum dots (Q-Dots) is very small semiconductor particles that means it can be either conductors or resist electricity depending on the temperature and purity of the semiconductor. Q-dots range in size from 2-10 nm, so because of their small size, quantum mechanics governs the physics of the particles. The synthesis Q-Dots were first studied in 1982 by Efros and Ekimov, and then many developments have reported the synthesis of semiconductor nanoparticles.1 Q-Dots have unique…

The substrate is rotated in the center of the growth chamber to ensure even growth on its surface and its angle can be manipulated depending on which effusion chamber shutter is opened. The time the substrate is exposed to an effusion chamber is calculated. Based on the area of the substrate, the pressure in the chamber and the molecular weight of the species, the shutter time is calculated to ensure the desired thickness of the film which will be adsorbed on to the substrate. For example, when…

Managing my time has been the biggest obstacle I have faced all semester. Learning how to manage school from work and also giving myself time to study became very overwhelming. I did some research on calendar systems to see what system worked best for me. The three main calendar systems I came across during my searching were; making a list of task I need to accomplish, using a schedule book to stay organized, or to use an alarm on a device for events. The best calendar system that worked best…

mind for years. Being able to make choices for your own happiness takes a level of self-confidence and courage that can, at times, seem unobtainable. Occasionally we don 't even realize how unhappy we are until someone or something comes along and reminds us of what we deserve in life. Even the strongest, most confident, and courageous of people may still find certain decisions so difficult it is almost impossible to make up their mind. A major, life changing decision…

In psychological studies, the sample of participants is often comprised of college students completing a required for their introduction to psychology course. The point during the semester when the student completes the required studies is up to the student, and some fulfill the requirement quickly, while others wait until closer to the end of the term. The study conducted by Harber and colleagues investigated whether differences in time perspective, the process in which a person automatically…

all the outside time she needs. But an active dog can get a bad case of canine cabin fever at any time in Golden or Lakewood. Even the best and most involved owner can find themselves with a dog with a bad case of canine cabin fever any time of the year. The Signs of Canine Cabin Fever Canine cabin fever shows itself in many ways. A dog may start to pace or even run back and forth for no obvious reason. Others may start barking just for the joy of hearing their own voice. Some dogs make take…
