introduced with a computer generated satellite animation. Then as it moves away the Earth is shown drawn in a traditional animation. It is different from the satellite because the clouds move in a way that does not seem mechanical.Like the introduction, the 2D and 3D animation help show character development through different types of maturity. The movie’s animation style seems to have a huge impact on the way it viewed. Since the movie was a combination of traditions animation and computer…

When I look at today 's world, it is hard to imagine another field that is going to change our society as much as computer technology does. I believe in the vision illustrated in Jeremy Rifkin 's book “The Zero Marginal Cost Society” that the emerging technology infrastructure – the Internet of Things (IoT) – will connect everyone and everything, use Big Data, analytics and algorithms to increase productivity and efficiency, and lower the marginal cost of producing and sharing to near zero. I…

understanding of logic” (Parks, 2009, p. 262). By evaluating the simulation, does it take information that gifted students understand already to a different level that might challenge them in many different aspects? If it doesn’t, and is just a computer activity that…

ability. The compliment surprised me, but I shocked him more so by informing him that I was completely self-taught! Throughout my life, self-learning has played an important role in a variety of areas. I was nine when my dad gave me an old pocket computer. The machine fascinated me, and, with the help of a textbook, I began writing my first programs shortly thereafter. As my programs grew in complexity, so did my reliance on outside resources for debugging. After…

A. Two Areas of Futuring Anticipating the future is an important component for many disciplines. It is also vital for individuals, businesses, and governments to ensure sustainability going into the future. Essentially, futuring does not concentrate on predicting the future but focuses on developing ways to improve it when it comes. Employing futuring techniques looks at ways to prepare for the future by making the appropriate adjustments based on the future expectations or trends (Sikkema,…

Introduction Simulations have been considered as powerful tools as they give us the ability to develop and nurture our management capabilities in a controlled environment. This is achieved through our ability to attempt a real-world process or system knowing we can go back on mistakes that have been made in order to better familiarise ourselves with the situation which lead to better results in any future runs. However, simulations do have a downfall in that they are merely just a representation…

the pattern and structure [3]. The filtering method is also introduced which is applied to dermoscopic skin image in a non-linear manner and allows selective image filtering. This feature is highly desirable due to the fact that in most cases of computer aided diagnostic, input images need to be pre-processed (e.g.for brightness normalization, histogram equalization, contrast enhancement, color normalization) and this can results in unwanted artifacts or simply may require human verification.…

computing as the use of multiple computer processors in combination to solve a single problem. The idea is simple on face: break up the task into small chunks which can be solved individually and then combined to produce a larger solution. Parallelism means addressing each chunk simultaneously rather than one at a time - which is much faster than a sequential approach. Parallel computing has the ability to reshape every aspect of our lives,…

2.10.1 Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) Fuzzy set theory explain this technique to enhance an image of handwritten scripts and for an edge detection of wrist X-ray images. In the case of the contrast enhancement process of an image, the Fuzzy set also seen as a collection of membership functions, where each represents how much degree of corresponding grayscale pixels is possible to be “bright”. In other words, a Fuzzy membership value of the image Fuzzy set can be understood as the degree of…

to Computer Applications, we looked at different topics in relation to computer technology. Among the subjects we looked at were a worldview of technology, various media websites for clip art, animation, and graphics, and using Microsoft Office programs such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. I would like to reflect on these topics and critique a classmates PowerPoint presentation as this class comes to an end. When I started this course on computer technology, I really did not consider computer…
