They have evolved from bamboo then to willow tree branches in the mid-1800s which was produced in India. After they found that this was a hard way to play the game they invested in actually carving hockey sticks out of wood with straight blades. These wood hockey sticks use to have a long bend in the end which was impossible to hit on the reverse side the hook was 124mm across. By 1850 and 1860…

Over time, we as a society have developed immensely in terms of scientific and technological advancements. From cars to computers, these are all technologies that have allowed us as a species to work more efficiently. There are specific technologies, though, that have been categorized under two things: therapeutic or “enhancing”.There is great controversy as to where certain technologies fall under, seeing as the lines between the two categories often blur together. A therapeutic technology is…

any attempts to prevent its spread, lead to total world domination on the part of the AI. In Blood Music, the AI essentially destroys the human race, and evolves into a being without the need for physical existence. In Transcendence, only another computer program, this time a virus, can stop Will’s AI form, and even then it comes at the cost destroying all forms of technology on earth, due to the reach of Will’s AI in its initial…

The Big Idea Crime data is released by many cities but there is inconsistent information available on the Criminal Justice related data at an individual level. There is little awareness on how much of the data is available and accessible. There are many statistical tables and other released data that could form a basis for innovation in the Criminal Justice System. Converting this data into meaningful stories, data visualizations, apps and more will meet the high demand for access to and…

Being a Computer Information Systems (CIS) and Integrated Supply Management (ISM) double major, I have learned to appreciate the value of technology within the manufacturing workplace. Being a Bronco Force Consultant at Tenneco Automotive, I was able to use my knowledge from the classroom to solve real problems. During my time at Tenneco Automotive, I used my versed background in CIS and ISM to major tackle opportunities. For example, I enhanced Tenneco’s current cycle count system to run on a…

The Chinese Room is basically the idea that someone can be perceived to understand Chinese without actually knowing any Chinese at all, much like how the computer program ‘understands’ questions it is asked by a human. This is done by placing someone who has no knowledge of Chinese in a room, with countless volumes that teach them in English what to do and write when they see certain Chinese characters in…

machine the Enigma. With the "Colossus", he saved up to ten to twenty-one million lives. He's a hero of World War 2 and a hero to countless people who could've been a victim of the war. Turing was famous for many things, but mostly famous for being a computer scientist, designer, mathematician, cryptanalyst, and an ultra distance runner. Turing was born on June 23, 1912 and was a victim of suicide on June 7, 1954. His father was Julius Mathison Turing and his mother was Ethel Sara. Alan…
