World Earth Day

A few days late but still, It's the earth day I need to make up for it. So here, a poster I made.

Smart Fasion

In the future chemistry laboratory. "Oops" said a scientist who spilled corrosive liquid on his partner. His partner responded "It's fine, I'll just wipe it off" without any worries.

In the year 1996. Where the first bullet locator was made. No longer needed to look for the bullet wound for long bloody time. The medical personnel could just look at the smart shirt and locate the bullet wound on the soldier. Not long after then, the technology exploded.

From phone to computer. From hard disk to solid state disk. From large slow memory storage to tiny fast microchip. Needless to say, gold can be pink, sliver can be yellow and carbon and be soft. Because of nowaday technology. Everything is possible.

But the main part is our shirt is it is becoming our cloth.

Remember when we use heater and wear a thick layer of cloths? But now:
And
We get:
A jacket that can heat you right up!

Maybe you are a bad boy or girl who like to play with corrosive substance and do not want to get burnt.
Scared?

No worries! Scientist is developing Corrosive resistance cloth!
Acid? Meh!

Welcome to the modern world!

Major Concepts:
  • Where the modern technology are going
  • The first idea of tech-cloth
  • Advantage on using the technology

Potential Strengths:
  • Everything are featured with pictures, 
  • What? How? Status? reports.

Potential Problems:
  • Where is the technology developed?

Discussion Questions:
  • If the future are everything in a cloth, then what about electricity? Where will it get electricity?
  • Will it be publicated any time?

iOS: Clean, Simple and Boring

      "Hey I have iPhone 5 iOS 6!" said a friend. "Oh really? But it looks, feels, the same as iOS 4 though. It just better iPhone with old concepts"said another friend.......

      As we all know. iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch all their user interface has been the same as it were years ago. Nothing have changed at all. But the modern world like something cool(as ice!), new(and shiny!), mystery(what the....?). So us, the users made a video to suggest apple to tweak their user interface. So it doesn't look plain and boring.

      Why is it plain and boring? For example if we want to turn on airplane mode, we would need to unlock the screen, go to setting, *tap* *tap* *tap*, in order to turn it on. Boring isn't it? The video shows that at the lock screen, instead of just a button for photo, add a lot of functions to it.

      So what do you think? It it a excellent idea? Brilliant idea? Or wonderful idea? Leave a comment below!

Have a video

More Videos

Moar Video! (Why not?)

Major Concepts.
  • Once upon a time iOS was like that and now it is the same
  • Boring way to do something such as turning on airplane mode
  • Boring lock screen.
  • Boring ideas.

Potential Strengths/Advantages.
  • These concepts in the video are opened to be used - Open minded.

Potential Problems/Limitations/Disadvantages.
  • How was it in the history of iOS? Only said the future but not the past.

Discussion Questions.
  • Why not let those jailbreak modders do the GUI?
  • Why haven't they change the using style?
  • Why iOS was design to not be tweaked?

Expert Predict a Computer's physical limit!?

     "Computer's processing capability will soon comes to a limit" says the Experts. "No way, what do you know about science?" one scientist reply. To be continue....... (Just a make up story)

      As the story represents, expert once predict that the processing capability of a silicon chip will come to an end but the recent scientific research found out a way to completely change the way we once built CPUs. A complete new way to construct CPU chips.

Current CPU

      What is so special about the new way to make this CPU chips? Very well asked question, the answer that I can give is "I don't know" because I am not one of the researchers. But according to material researcher at IBM said that it isn't anything new or anything surprising at all because in the past we have had found out a way to change conductive state to a insulator and back. But what IS surprising is that after we changes the state is can be stable.

      One disadvantage is that the processor unit is extreme beast, draining the battery dry in a short time. Like our laptop while playing game, burning on top of our lap. Another disadvantage of the current CPU is it often have electricity leak causing it to heat up so much. Which mean they are very inefficient using electricity.

      So what is the advantage of the latest research? Imagine that in the future our CPU and memory cell will barely say "Hi" to the battery cell only camera, microphone, photo, and some other side component would use electricity. And the CPU wouldn't heat up that much at all.

"The Expert"

..... And another scientist said "U Mad Bro?".

Major Concepts.

  • The difference of the past technology and currents
  • Experts have said it will come to a limit soon
  • IBM have overcome experts

Potential Strengths/Advantages.

  • Detailly describe the idea what the research gets us to

Potential Problems/Limitations/Disadvantages.

  • What evdience does the expert have to say it will come to a limit soon? It did not describe. 

Discussion Questions.

  • When will this technology publicly used?
  • How much faster if this technology is widely used?
  • What will it cost to make such chip?
