Many individuals go about their day without recognition of their use of short cuts that weren’t available a mere ten years ago, let alone the use of developed inventions that began one hundred years ago. I feel immensely fortunate to be apart of what seems like one of the last generations to physically understand what the human race has grown from because technology has shifted our mental and physical capacity to comprehend and teach information. Regardless of the negative and positive perspectives upon technological advances, the emergence of…

    I chose to research about technology for my Outside Reading project for multiple reasons. One reason is that technology is the topic that most interests me since there are many possibilities with it and it’s never known what can happen to it. Another reason is because technology is a lot more modern today than they were back then because people rely on them more than they used to. Finally, technology is fun to play with and it’s also very fun to see what is going on about it and what breakthroughs have happened recently. The “Researchers enable patient to use brain to move fingers on prosthetic arm” article was the one I liked the most for several reasons.…

    Another reason I chose computer science is because computers are shaping the direction our world takes and I want to play a part in that. The idea of writing a program that helps a physicist decode the secrets of the universe or a doctor discover a cure for a serious disease holds great appeal for me. Computer science is a continually growing field and with computers becoming involved in almost every aspect of our lives it should remain so for the foreseeable future. Thanks to computer chips imbedded in everything from basketballs and shoes to computer-controlled thermostats more and more computerized data is being produced daily and to manage the acquisition, storage and use of this data will require computer scientists [1].
