The Influence Computers Have on Academics The Introduction to Computers course (COMP 1000) is a course that teaches students how to use computers and the programs within them. In a students first semester at a college like Chattahoochee Technical College, he or she lacks efficient computer skills to excel in each course. Since some people lack the knowledge of how to use a computer, the course is a good resource to obtain the knowledge needed. At Chattahoochee Technical College, the majority of…

Critical Inquiry on papers, “Microarchitectural analysis of image quality assessment algorithms” and “PLP: A Community Driven Open Source Platform for Computer Engineering Education” THARUN NIRANJAN GOMUDURAI PANDIAN, Arizona State University The research paper titled, “Microarchitectural analysis of image quality assessment algorithms“, aims to improve the efficiency of image quality assessment (IQA) algorithms by analyzing the runtime efficiency of the algorithms and identifying the…

Along with the development of technology, computer-mediated communication (CMC) is becoming common practices in our social interaction. Unlike face-to-face conversation (FTF), these practices are unique because both production and reception footings only utilize verbal communication to perform an entire conversation. There are two different characteristics in which the utterances are transmitted in CMC. The first one is one-way transmission where the recipient is unaware of the process of…

One thing that mathematics and movies have in common is that they are incredibly interesting. However, when you put two great things together, there are potential discrepancies that make the experience a little disappointing if you look deeper into it. There have been some brilliant films about famous mathematicians who have changed the way we look at mathematics for the better. Unfortunately, movies, in general, tend to have a reputation for moving things around and fixing the information so…

One swing of your hand and the ball slowly rolls towards the pin, and strike, all pins down. Online sports games like bowling on Wii or Xbox 360 Kinect has improved processing speed, attention span, and spatial skills among older adults. Video games, internet-based devices and other technologies are changing our traditional ways of living, making our lives more convenient and comfortable. In fact, technology is the biggest drive in our lives that controls our ways of thinking, learning, and…

It will mostly be don’t with much more machinery and computer sciences. Such as when we went from horses as transportation to car and then cars having computers in then, by 2020 we will have self-driving car. This would also apply the medical world, we will be moving at greater speeds with the help of computer and machinery. With that being said the most ethical way to use medical technology is use it anyway you can to save a life…

In today’s society technology has become apart of everyday life. Although whether or not this is considered a good or bad thing is still undefined. People have almost become reliant on technology for everything. This reliance encourages laziness and represses critical thinking skills. With the ability to access so many answers to almost all questions - in the span of mere seconds - provides instant gratification that overrides the want to think about things critically. Plato’s Tripartite Theory…

of which technology is developing. It is remarkably rapid that it cannot be controlled by the human mind. Children are choosing robotic machines over regular biological individuals, which creates this bizarre experience between the human and the computer. As a society, we have yet to decide whether this development in the robotic machines is ethically concerning, or if we are able to control the path it takes. Sherry Turkle, author of “Alone Together,” believes we can control the pace and…

60-Minutes ran a feature segment on A.I. (Artificial Intelligence). My knowledge of computer technology is below average, consisting mainly of checking email and surfing the internet. As most people, I knew computers were taking over many jobs once done by humans, and had seen footage of auto industry robots assembling automobiles. I remember seeing video of a warehouse with floor computers delivering boxes from one location to the next. A.I. is different. While watching this segment with…

engine brought upon the Industrial Age, the epoch of the personal computer has brought upon the dawn of the Information Age. At the continuously compounding rate of innovation and invention, modern technology was prognosticated to hit a wall where advancements become rare. This prediction has been dubbed as Polanyi’s Paradox. As all theoretical barriers in the modern age, Polanyi’s Paradox has been seemingly overcome by the top computer scientists and software engineers with the advent of…
