Autopilot

Whether it’s predicting what you are fixing to type, choosing shortest routes factoring in traffic, or navigating a flight on autopilot to its destination (Kelly, 2012). While it’s succeeding in making our lives easier and more manageable, it is also diminishing our abilities. The old adage goes if you don’t use it, you will lose it. Currently as it stands we rely too much on technology…

Project 5 Reflection 1. What did I notice about how believable and relatable I was in this performance? I felt that the energy and enthusiasm I brought to the stories helped make my performance believable and relatable. I tried to include Broadway fan snippets in each story to help bring that relatability through the script and through the delivery. For example, the “not throwing away his shot” line about Lin Manual-Miranda, which is a snippet from a song from Hamilton. With entertainment news,…

America has the highest motor vehicle accident rates than any other high income country. Nearly 1.3 million people die in car accidents every year and there are about 3,287 die in crashes that happen each day in America, according to asirt.org. Car crashes happen for many reasons; distracted because of texting, on the phone while driving or loud music, intoxicated driving, drowsy, and while this is not as likely, cars have technical difficulties that the driver cannot control. With new…

Denise walked through the hallway of Highfield Highschool deep in thought and with a frown on her pretty face, she almost collided with a few other students. In fact she appeared to be in such deep thought that she was just walking to her locker on autopilot. Quite a few students at Highfield High were paying more attention to their phone’s than where they were going and would suddenly look up then have to swerve out of the way to avoid colliding with Denise. Luckily, Denise arrived at her…

The rover used for tests featured an electric brushless motor, lithium polymer (LiPo) battery and an APM autopilot which enabled autonomous navigation via GPS waypoint. These waypoints were set using the Mission Planner program, which was downloaded for free from 3DR. This rover was set a task, to photograph an area and send back footage, and then programmed…

The field of aeronautics has been subject to a whirlwind of change, starting from the initial days of taking to the sky in clumsy contraptions of wood and canvas to the modern jetliners that ferry millions of people around the globe. Over the past few decades, however, there have been vast efforts to create aeroplanes that remove the humans from the equation called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). UAVs are powered aerial vehicles that do not carry human operators. They use aerodynamic forces to…

Intro- 9/11 was a terrible day in American history. On this day, terrorists hijacked four planes, departing from the East coast.

Increased technology leads to unprecedented opportunities for advancement. Today’s technology facilitates the ability to create robots with human characteristics and functions. This opens discussion concerning the relationship between robots and humans. Two stories that take part in this discussion are “For a Breath I Tarry”, by Roger Zelazny and “The Algorithms for Love” by Ken Liu. Both of these works explores what it means to be human through the sci-fi elements of machines and transformation…

Each of his experiments showed that most people are very automatic, like autopilot, when they are reading. However, Stroop demonstrated that when the brain was instructed to do the opposite and pay more attention to the color of the word, it struggled. For his participants, they had to adjust their responses to complete the new…

Today we live in a society where computers are becoming more intelligent and researchers say eventually it will exceed the human brain. Artificial intelligence is the making of intelligent machines that are able to preforms task that are completed by human beings. Humans create the technological programs so that one cannot exist without the other. As technology is advancing it stimulates the economy for which humans need survive. There have been many recent examples of artificial intelligence…
