What makes technology so beautiful is that it makes it hard to come to the conclusion as to whether we are incredibly lazy people for shamelessly basking in its conveniences or the smartest human beings because of our…

corners for wheelchair access. I feel like that idea could be taken further to create access all the way around the memorial. These are the people the fight for our freedom so our country can remain safe and free, we should make sure that their accessibility is at the forefront of this memorial. I propose that the flat side walls should cut have the base cut away to create more of an overhang so people that are seated can get closer( figure 1). The name…

Machines operating on humans is a compelling idea, but is not justifiable because robotic surgery is dangerous, less efficient than human surgeons, and impairs the accessibility of the operating room. Although robots cause patients less bodily damage during surgery, the statistical success of human surgeons outweighs the benefit. Robotic surgery is more hazardous than human operated surgery.…

The South Korean film industry since Korean War (1950-1953) often portrays the Korean experience in the Cold War struggle and its lingering impact in inter-Korean relations as a backdrop for many of its popular films. While the Cold War is nominally a thing of the past, the consequences of the Cold War rhetoric are ubiquitous in the Korean peninsula, leading to an assessment and reassessment of the lingering feelings that South Koreans have of their Northern counterparts. The film industry’s…

iPhone, making it easier to complete homework, check my email, and communicate. I enjoyed the ability to speak to Siri and receive an instant update of all my notifications or GPS to the nearest gas station with only a touch of a button. I love the accessibility and style of the iPhone. My artifact is a gold and white iPhone 5S model number A1533. IPhone seamlessly persuades through the use of ethos, pathos, and logos to communicate the idea that Apple is the ultimate…
