suitable for unpatterned movement such as dancing(“prosthetic limb”). The prosthetic arms are a step behind the legs. “He's mastered the use of his prosthetic feet, playing offense on his high school soccer team and sprinting for the track team. But artificial arms, he says, were annoying because they were heavy and made his own arms sweaty. He's adapted to life without them”(Weir 10). Designing prosthetic arms is very…

It is the devastating reality that nearly two million people are currently living with limb loss in the United States. I am writing this proposal to the Amputee Coalition, because I believe that it is time to research cheaper prosthetics for these two million people. Your average prosthesis can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $50,000, and it isn’t fair to those already possessing a disability. I write this because I plan to work in rehabilitative engineering, and want to build prosthetics that…

The Nothing That Is, by Robert Kaplan is an intriguing book that focuses on the history of civilizations and their ways of counting. It focuses on the struggles and revolutionary discoveries of different civilizations in their number systems. The book is pushed forward by focusing on the concept of the number “0” which had not been a thing or even a thought then. Zero has been in the making for thousands of years. It wasn’t introduced into any of the civilizations sets of counting until more…

The way society thinks of Artificial Intelligence is absurd. Most people look at technological progress from a business perspective, namely, how can we profit from it. Some more pessimistic approaches may compare it to an uncontrollable snowball, where progress ultimately gets too fast and unstoppable. There are many ways to interpret the future of technology; however, Catherynne M. Valente proposes a new path for A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) that has not been explored yet. In Valente’s…

Advancements of Prosthetics Over the Years 1 in 190 Americans are currently living with the loss of a limb, in the year 2005 1.6 million people were living with the loss of a limb (Langtree,2016). Therefore, prosthetics have advanced due to the change to lighter material, the change in mobility (movement),and the design has become more productable and useful for the amputee. “The evolution of prosthetics is a long and storied history, from its primitive beginnings to its sophisticated present,…

The novel Neuromancer conveys that the obsession with self image is influenced by society’s reliance on technology in a passage that is the initial depiction of the character Julius Deane. The reason why the novel was successful was due to the new perspective on civilization through the nihilistic attitude many characters possessed that left readers intrigued in the short-lived cyberpunk movement. Julius Deane was a man of power that lived a luxurious life filled with the importance of…

In the movie, A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, by Steven Spielberg, there are two dominant groups of beings: flesh-and-blood humans, and nuts-and-bolts humans (also known as mechas, or mechanical people). In this dystopian future-world, humans produce and destroy mechas as they like because to some, a mecha is only a machine and cannot feel emotions or pain, even if they can show outward manifestations of emotions and pain. David is a mechanical child that is programmed to not have this…

Alan Turing, the man widely considered the father of artificial intelligence, proved to be a child prodigy as early as age 6, saved thousands of lives in the second great war, set the stage for what we perceive as the modern day personal computer, made advancements in Biology just as well as computer science, and died to suicide after being charged with “gross Indecency” by the very government he helped during the war. How could someone go from being as vital of a person, as Winston Churchill…

Fasten Your Seatbelt Dorothy, ‘Cause Kansas is Going Bye-bye The verge of artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more real each passing day. With the vast amount of scientists undertaking its development, innovations are being crafted for an assortment of field use. Government foundations pursue the task 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…
