Thomas L. Friedman in his book titled, “The World Is Flat” does not give a speculative preview of the wonders that are to come in our lifetime. But rather to get us caught on the wonders that are already here. That is, his view is that the world is not going to be flat; rather, it is already flat. In an own opinion, what he means by “flat” is the connectedness. For instance, the lowering of trade and political barriers together with the exponential technical developments made up of the…
Artificial Intelligence has been a staple of speculative fiction for many years now. Who can forget the murderous “HAL” (so named because each letter is one higher in the alphabet than IBM) from 2001: A SPACE ODESSY? But lately Artificial Intelligence, or “AI” to the techno-hipster set, has been going mainstream in a big way. Life always imitates art, and now IBM has indeed staked its future on AI in the form of their “Watson” product. It is very early in the game, but the promise of AI…
Abstract— Bag of words model (BOW),which was originally used for document classification has been introduced to computer vision field recently and used in object recognition successfully. The bag of words model to the face recognition which can robustly give excellent performance in recognizing the face under various conditions like illumination, pose variation ,facial expression and occlusions. The scale Invariant Feature Transform is used for extracting the features from the face and SVM…

Innovations of Schooling and Technology According to Bill Gates, “Technology is just a tool in terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them…” because technology is an easy and exciting way to engage the mind (Gates). Technology is a learning curve and some students are more comfortable than others. The age old cursive writing class has given way to a mostly mandated typing class in all but four states (Redford). All across America, we are integrating this super…

The doctor sits down and begins to tell you that you had a severe allergic reaction and without the proper treatment you would’ve been done for, this was all possible with the help of one simple program, referred to as the RIP. Used worldwide, the RIP is a medical computer program that intakes patient data and…

presented in a paper titled “First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC” by John von Neumann. The idea originated after John von Neumann joined a group of scientists who had detected a problem in the ENIAC’s functionality and wanted to keep developing computer technology after ENIAC’s success. The motive behind this investigation is revealed in a letter between Herman Goldstine and Col. Simon which identified the problems of the ENIAC. These problems were attributed to the task of building the ENIAC…
