We were sent to evacuate another village. As we are marching, I can see the faces full of grief, despair and depression as they're leaving in their columns and us entering in ours. We pass by silently. A few moments pass by and all I can hear is a ear piercing ringing noise and the earth crying out as we were being attacked. I was lost among all of the smoke when suddenly all I can feel is the earth against my face. I hear a faint, “Quick, up, Albert” coming from Paul about three feet away from…

Alan Turing was a rather exceptional mathematician and scientist who played a crucial role in the development of both modern computing and artificial intelligence. While arguably his most famed achievement is the well known Turing Test he accomplished a bevy of feats in his time. From an early age Mr. Turing displayed an inquisitive mind which was further nurtured and developed as he went off to college where his unusual mind was already beginning to shine. Displaying a startling firm grasp of…

Robots have been something scientists have been talking about for years with the present being a very big advancement in research. Harvard has made a “robobee” prototype that hasn't been perfected yet. While they are still an estimated 10 years away from a successful bunch, the robobees would function much like regular bees with the ability to pollinate whole crops, communicate, and make simple-decisions. This would be the ideal solution to the slow extinction of bees but even the scientists…

The idea that an AI could be in control of itself is not too far fetched in today’s world, but it is still a frightening idea to me. Artificial Intelligence could contribute to the idea of a dystopia, because if there was a loss of control, and a gain of power, by the AI, then the AI would literally have a “mind of it’s own,” and could be harmful to everything and everyone around it. To have an AI in a powerful place could lead to a dystopia due to it being intelligent and for the “being” to…

Children growing up in communities with lower income or lower social status are prone to experience academic or self-perception complications. Building psychological resilience helps to offset the effects of their environment during critical times in their development. Researchers have looked at the relationship between resilience and social support. This study will evaluate methods of promoting psychological resilience and its effects on academic performance. The study will use a between…

The science fiction book, Fahrenheit 451, by author Ray Bradbury does a good job of describing the modern society. He also could be predicting what the future could be like. There are many aspects of the world that are similar and different to modern day society, some similar things include technology addictions, and the amount of suicides, a differing example is how the societies view war. To begin with, present day society is becoming more and more technologically advanced, and therefore…

Water Authority says a homeowner saves 55 gallons of water per year for every square foot of natural grass replaced with synthetic. Some water companies in drought-prone areas will offer a cash rebate for artificial grass, up to $1 per square foot. ‘An average home that converts to artificial grass saves about 22,000 gallons of water a year.’ Astroturf does not require any watering, therefore you conserve water, and save money on your water bill. ‘The California drought has moved the…

I would definitely call myself a tech and science nerd. I am in robotics and I am currently taking two sciences; so I definitely qualify for my geek card. Something that has always intrigued me is the future of technology and science, and one of the most interesting possibilities of technology would being able to augment myself and /or others. Robotics is something that’s always been intriguing to me, and of course anyone in robotics have always thought about the implications of augmenting the…

In the article, “Can A Robot Join Faith” by Avi Steinberg, she mentions a new vision in which would be the, “the world’s most ambitious project”. With this project in mind the company would inquire a society built of intelligent robots. However, with these robots, they can be a problem when it comes to religions and faiths. She had mentioned that, Sophia the robot, “…making her a citizen… gave her more rights than most Saudi Women”. This robot created overseas, has been given a Saudi citizenship…
