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:

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?

Something Unreal is about to become Real

      Fans who like Mass Effect,Gears of War, and Infinity Blade. Good new for you! These game are ported to firefox! It is able to played while what only need is Javascript to be more specifically it uses the asm.js sublanguage and Emscripten compiler.

"Less Cigarettes Mean better Life Y'Know"

      Engineer at both Epic games and Mozilla were able to port the game engine to WebGL and JavaScript in just 4 days! What this means is most of the modern web browser will be able to play game that runs on Unreal Engine 3. A video demonstrating the engine running on web browser.

"That's over a Million lines of code!"

      While the engine runs roughly half the speed on JavaScript compare to directly run on C++ it is still a big accomplishment. If you want to try it out by yourselves Click here! Warning! It might use up a lot of the CPU power! For now we do not know whether Epic Games will licence out the engine for the web develop kit or not. But one thing we sure know: Unreal Is Coming Real.

"Unreal + Firefox = FakeFox?"

Google Glasses

      Google:"I know where you live, where you study, how old you are, what you like, what your phone number is, what your personality and I even know who are your friends."

      Nowadays technology is very advance, so advance that human can no longer follow up. But how it is used depends on us. Google, our big brother for searching. Google first announced Google Glasses. People were asking what it is and what does it do. To put it simple, Google glasses is a computer on a pair of glasses with a camera.

      So what is bad about Google Glasses? It record every thing it came across from what you have spoken, where you have been, what have you done, your location, and even your friends! It doesn't sound bad...... or does it? As we all know that we like privacy, surely you won't want to be recorded as if you were a criminal(Some feel that way). So are your friends! They don't like their voice to be recorded every time they spoke to you.

      This edge cutting technology is on sell at about $1000 to $1500, we won't expect it to be cheaper soon, but since this little device record your every movement, I wonder whether it will receive a positive review or negative?

How It Feels [through Glass]

How It Really Feels [through Google Glass]

Major Concepts

• The Main Idea of what Google Glasses is.
• What does it do
• The Price

Potential Strengths/Advantages.

• What it records
• What the critic reviews are.

Potential Problems/Limitations/Disadvantages

• Not showing the main misconception of it

Discussion Questions

• I wonder if it is legal to record everything

Doctor! I think I might have a heart attack.

      "Hey guys! It seems that I might have an heart attack, let me go get a check up first to the doctor first." says a friend, "Ok, see you later and say hello to the doctor for me" one of his friend reply.

The implant device

      Often before having a heart attack and passes away. Fragments of a heart-specific smooth muscle protein, fatigued or oxygen-starved muscle tissue that is broken down are dumped into the blood stream. If those symptom and substance can be detected before the actual heart attack or disruption of the heart rhythm, a treatment can be done before hand.

      So any ideas? Well a team of scientist at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne or short name as "EPFL" have. They made the world's smallest blood monitoring device. The device is implanted under the skin, deep enough to be exposed to blood, not too deep to be able charge through skin(wirelessly, for more information click here). It can keep track the level of glucose, lactate and ATP. Providing valuable data for doctors, as well as monitoring.

      Such a wonderful device! But how does it work? Each sensor is coated with a thin layer of enzyme which is used to test blood and that reacts with blood and chemicals in it then send the information to out to our smartphone using Bluetooth. Currently the device have only a few sensors, but you'll never know how many more sensor can be added. But sadly only if the device can last forever it would seems to be flawless. The implant can only last for one month more or less and it can consider expired.

      So if the person implanted the device is saved, that person will become a customer again. An implant under your skin seems to be more and more powerful nowadays.

      Leave a comment below of what do you think of such implant! And have a good day! If it is a night now then, Have a good night!
