In 1838 Charles Wheatstone’s research demonstrated that the brain processes the different two-dimensional images from each eye into a single object of three dimensions. Viewing two side by side stereoscopic images or photos through a stereoscope. In 1929 Edward Link created the “Link trainer” probably the first example of a commercial flight simulator.

Working in the electronics retail space for over half a decade, computers can get updated and replaced very quickly. Commonly you can have several new models release shortly after the previous one, which can mind blowing. What happens to those aged computers once their owner deems such equipment obsolete? After doing a great deal of research, it turns out most of those computers make their way into local landfills and that in itself has become a major environmental issue. Below are a few of the…

of simulating the brain and mapping it. The Obama administration is funding the BRAIN initiative that has the goal of mapping the activity of every neuron within the human brain. Also, the Human Brain Project in Europe plans to create a completely computer-based brain to test drug therapy and increase our knowledge of the mysterious organ. Machines will eventually take over jobs people have. They would autonomously harvest our crops, run our…
