With much attention on America’s obesity problem, have food companies and marketing experts taken advantage on society’s growing concern of healthier eating? There has been much debate on food production and labeling and as to whether or not eating a more organic lifestyle is healthier. From “organic” to “Non GMO” do these labels ensure safer eating habits? What exactly does organic verses conventional eating mean? Are there any distinguishable differences in them? Why is it so much more…

Technology is becoming more and more accessible; which results in humans becoming more dependent on technology to the point where it begins to make replacements. While technology is becoming more accessible to everyone, it is taking jobs and in many ways, replacing humans in the workforce. Humans are becoming more and more dependant on technology because it: make our lives easier, it’s cheaper to use, and because it is more accessible. The workforce is experiencing…

Pushing Boundaries of Human Enhancement through Cellular Reprogramming By definition, human nature is the different characteristics (thinking, attitude, feelings) created in ourselves by God. Many scholars and philosophers approach the concept of human nature by using different schools of thought. For instance, the Buddhists’ opinion about human nature is to be conscious and to aspire. Whereas Judeo-Christian’s point of view is that humans are God’s creation that has free willpower providing…

If I were to write a book about my life story to date, I would call it “Determination and Dreams”. My dreams drive me to excel and I’ve learned that determination is one of the best characteristics I can use to pursue these dreams. I work hard in life and I push myself so my dreams can become a reality. My big dream is to receive an exceptional education and use it to change my community, locally and hopefully one day nationally or internationally, for the better. This dream has pushed me to…

Evolution of the Panels Solar power is not a new concept—two thousands years ago our ancestors would concentrate the sun’s heat with glass or mirrors to light fires or heat water. It wasn’t until 1839 that Edmond Becquerel, a French scientist, discovered what is known as the “photovoltaic (PV) effect,” (US DOE EERE). While experimenting with an electrolytic cell that consisted of two metal electrodes placed in an electricity-conducting solution, he noticed that electricity-generation increased…

Lastly, the biggest VC vehicle created is Rusnano, directed towards developing the Russian high-tech sector. While this vehicle had been under media pressure recently for being unprofitable, its main focus is to commercialize developments in nanotechnology. With an investment portfolio of 138.3 billion Rubles it is by far the largest structure in the startup scene in Russia and is led by an influential politician Anatoly Chubais, who was responsible for organizing mass privatization during early…

account for all of the different types to things they design make and test themselves. As well as the skills need to craft all of these different items. Even from there it breaks down in seven large categories that span from outer space to making nanotechnology. To get a better idea of what I might be up against in the future I contacted an actual mechanical engineer named Mr. Eric Baucom. Mr. Baucon is a Project Engineer for BASS NIXON & KENNEDY, Inc. that is setup in Raleigh, NC. Now, after…

however, the inception of ARV treatment has helped in improving treatment (Mamo et al., 269). Since its introduction, this form of therapy has been perfected to reduce the number of deaths and is designed to prolong the life of those infected. Nanotechnology has also been introduced to facilitate current treatment and advance new therapeutic strategies (Mamo et al., 271). To compliment this form of treatment, doctors are always coming up with better diets and lifestyles to help prolong the lives…

Intelligent Architecture In her book The Fountainhead, Ayn Rand portrays the protagonist, Howard Roark, as an individualistic young architect who chooses to struggle in unimportance rather than compromise his artistic and personal vision. The book follows his fight to practice what the public sees as modern architecture, which he considers to be superior, despite an establishment focused on tradition-worship. In the book Architecture's New Media: Principles, Theories, and Methods of…

In this introduction 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…
