I recently visited the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco to gain a new perspective on what we learned in Anthropology this semester. In this paper I will be discussing the Human Origin exhibit that is currently being shown at The Academy of Sciences and how it relates to all that I have learned this semester. This particular exhibit shows the various physical forms that hominins took as they evolved over 4 million years ago. I loved being able to see in person the actual skulls on…
security of life, is the basic instinct of all creatures. A chameleon camouflages to survive, a porcupine flares its needles to survive, and an artificial intelligence learns to survive. In Stanley Kubrick’s, 2001: A Space Odyssey, HAL 9000, the computer program running the ship, becomes fearful and even hateful of humans once he discovers that the astronauts on board plan to shut him down. He attempts to eradicate them, but to no avail. A.I.s such as this one are being developed right now by…
Eagleman ends this chapter by comparing our minds to a robot. The speed of our circuits improved by the automatization of tasks - our ability to do things instinctively. Our circuit is also energy efficient because our unconscious does much of the work so we don’t have to think about everything we do. Everytime unconscious learning occurs, we burn a new program into the circuit board, and the tasks becomes automated. The fourth chapter, called “The Kinds of Thoughts That Are Unthinkable”,…

The controls that were in place were advancements in the world and some of them have come true today but many of the advancements were far-fetched in my mind. I will talk about Theme, Setting and Conflict and how technology played a part with them all. Theme There are several themes in the “Brave New World.” The themes that are most technology based that I see include: Science as a means of control…

Investigators need to be able to recognize and properly seize potential digital evidence. Digital evidence is…
now an intricate part of everyday life. Whether in education, business or healthcare, advancements in technology have vastly altered the way we handle our daily activities.
