Computer simulation

General Education Reflection Over the course of my undergrad education here at Iowa state, I have always tried to keep a greater perspective in mind when working on focused topics. Whether that be working on projects or conducting a lab, knowing where that fits as a whole is a key insight to becoming a well-rounded engineer. With this thinking in mind, we are able to construct where ideas lie respectively and fill in the gaps between subjects. Coming to the end of my senior year, I am reflecting…

nearly 100 years later, that Alan Turing would explain many of the fundamental essentials to coding and computing, and in the 1940's, the first computers were built, for military, government, and secret service purposes. These computers, were enormous and weighed as much as 30 tons. 1946's ENIAC, which is widely accepted as the world's first actual computer,…

before to explain exactly what was going on and where everybody was in detail.” His original plan was to go into law enforcement until one of his professors told him that he was wasting his time studying law enforcement and that he should go into computers. He then switched what his life…

man widely considered the father of artificial intelligence, proved to be a child prodigy as early as age 6, saved thousands of lives in the second great war, set the stage for what we perceive as the modern day personal computer, made advancements in Biology just as well as computer science, and died to suicide after being charged with “gross Indecency” by the very government he helped during the war. How could someone go from being as vital of a person, as Winston Churchill put it “Turing…

In 1838 Charles Wheatstone’s research demonstrated that the brain processes the different two-dimensional images from each eye into a single object of three dimensions. Viewing two side by side stereoscopic images or photos through a stereoscope. In 1929 Edward Link created the “Link trainer” probably the first example of a commercial flight simulator. US military bought six of these devices for $3500. In 2015 money this was just shy of $50 000. In the mid 1950s cinematographer Morton Heilig…

the use of digital technology is evolving everyday because not only are we surrounded by internet activities, but now we’re surrounded by a huge cesspool of digital technology. Just to name a few, digital technology includes but not limited to computers, CD’s and DVD’s, portable storage media and cell phones. When it comes to examining digital technology it can include anything from photos, video’s, text documents, Internet activity logs along with phone numbers or any other data that can be…

In Silicon Valley, California a massive improvement in crime fighting in taking place in the form of a security guard robot named K5 that was designed by a company named Knightscope. The video on business insider demonstrated just what this bit is capable of when it comes to its crime reducing abilities. One of the most positive actions performed by K5 was when it was shown to be able to detect things like theft and violence and contact the authorities as soon as it detected one of those…

of simulating the brain and mapping it. The Obama administration is funding the BRAIN initiative that has the goal of mapping the activity of every neuron within the human brain. Also, the Human Brain Project in Europe plans to create a completely computer-based brain to test drug therapy and increase our knowledge of the mysterious organ. Machines will eventually take over jobs people have. They would autonomously harvest our crops, run our…

Technology and Sports We all know that technology plays a major role in sports. If it weren’t for new inventions and innovative ideas, the sports that we know of wouldn’t exist. If it weren’t for technology, we wouldn’t have the instant replay, the headset for coaches to throw, or even the wireless microphone for referees to mix up their words on. When you think of the word “technology”, and the word “sports”, you might think of two completely different things. However, the new…
