Eureka and Technology Advances

Eureka is a television series show that has to do with a lot of technology. In this town located in Oregon, is called Eureka where there are a lot of scientists and smart people that try to solve mysteries that happen in the town. In Episode 2 that I watched in class, the episode consisted of a device that will erase what happened  and the people will not remember what happened and then people will questioned them what happened and they would not know . It is a mind erased device. These kinds of mysteries are solved by a sheriff and two scientists.I say it has to do with a lot of technology because the sheriff Jack Carter lives in a well developed house that is constructed with a lot of technology. The house is monitored by a device that will do things for you. Everything now a days in the future is so advanced in technology that everything is resolved with a touch of a computer to do research or to find out what something is. In the future, technology will make us lazy because everything is being done for us, when in the past days we had to look into books for the answers. Time has changed  everything from the past to the future. Labs, hospitals, schools use technology to get answers within seconds and then resolve the issue that humans might be faced with. I could say that technology has manipulated our human minds because sometimes we have forgotten about our old tasks, like reading a book and or going into a library to do research.

Fahrenheit 451 Ray Bradbury

I picked Fahrenheit 451 as a good vision of the future because after reading it I understood that it has a good way of sensing that if society does not do anything the future could be like this. This book is constructed as a way to manipulate society into doing things that are not right, but that must be done because is the law. The law was that books had to be burned because this kind of literature is bad for society.In this book there are conformists and non-conformists some believe is right while others are trying to change the way society is being controlled by the governement. Much of society is being controlled by media and that technology is the now future and that reading books is in the past and that they don't teach you anything. Ray Bradbury as an author who loved reading books wanted to make his point by writing this book  to let society know that if we keep letting this happen it is how society is going to be in the future. Bradbury wants to try to save us from this before it happens.I believe as humans we should do what we think is right for society's well being and that most of us, if we don't like a rule we do something to change it because if not the government would take over and manipulate our mind with technology, which will make us lazy and we get most of our knowledge from books not from technology because technology does everything for us.

The Light Straight From Heaven

I was searching for something that had to do with religion in the future and came across this image. This image shows how there is always that light at the end that protects all countries around the world from any harm. This light shows how in religion God is always present at all times. God is the one that guide us through what is right. Now in the future we are expericing a lot of natural disasters and diseases and wars that are killing a lot of our society. Most of the people that are religious are praying that most of these things have an ending and that everything stays at peace because where is our world going to end. Humans are put into this world for a purpose to reproduce and to help nature and mother Earth survive. There are many religious in the world, but we all as humans worship the same kind of ideas. If we have hope our future Earth is going to return to normal and everything will be the same,but humans need to give some of that faith and trust that in a near future that light of Heaven would shine over us to help us get thhrough. This light will be the light of God that will send a light of difference for natural disasters, diseases and wars to end.

The future of war

This image shows how a future war could be with well-developed weapons and robots. In the future there will be more technology that is going to be used to be put into these robots. These robots with  just a program programmed into them will do anything that you tell it to do.Thinking about it robots are the ones that are going to be established in the future to do things for us. It is good in a way but bad in another because it just makes us be lazy and not wanting to do anything. On the other hand is good because we will have one of these robots doing our tasks when were not able to do them or for them to do them quick.Looking at these robots they remind me of Transformers the movies because in those movies there is always robots fighting in a war to try to defeat the enemy. Right now we are in a war with Iraq and the U.S. is the potential country that everyone depends on for everything, but right now with the economy decreasing we are lowering our potential.Right now the highest will be China and maybe looking at it as a perspective in the future there will be a war of China and the U.S.

Underwater City

This image shows like a city underwater. In the future there would be a city underwater, where the streets will be up and down and then the rest will be water. I think basically everyone will come together as in humans and animals and we will live sharing the same place. In my opinion I think it will be really nice to experience something like the underwater city because we get to interact more with our animals and our nature. In this image I have notice that the trees are still around and will still be around for a long time because it is important for our nature. I also think that many people would not survive under water and will experience death or drowing.Looking it as in the persvective that much of the natural disasters that go around are of water, so I'm thinking that in the future many of the cities will be under water or will just dissapear.I think if we are lucky and are still alive we could experience this as humans in the future.When people first look at this image they don't believe that maybe in the near future this might happen and we might be expericing it. Some people might like the idea, while others might be frighten. I think is better to let the future decide if we should stay here or not and let it act.

Poems About The Future

http://www.poetseers.org/poem_of_the_day_archive/poems_future/view/

Let us not worry

About the future.
Let us only do the right thing
Today,
At this moment,
Here and Now.
Let the future take care of
Itself.

- Sri Chinmoy

"I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past. "

                                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                                     - Thomas Jefferson

These poems about the future are true because they make you think about your own future that you are going to approach soon. Let us do the right thing, Today. It is regarding we the people to do things that are good for the future and to not waste time in doing them. Better to do things today and feel accomplished than to leave things for a later time and then not feel as accomplished because you have to rush to get it done.In our future we are seeing different things, new technology, new cars, computers, and etc.Some of these things that are in the future now are dreams that one person has and makes it a reality. Things have change and now are better than the past ,where we did not have anything. Times have change and now we are more developed. The first poem has the first line that says that we should not worry and the last line that we should let the future take care of itself, everything is coming together slowly and everyone would be happy. Sometimes this is not the case because most of our future is decreasing because of our environment and because no one is helping to conserve the Earth. I believe if we all come together our future will be at its highest when new generations come in. Humans are the ones that shape our Earth, this is our home and we should consider it and help maitain it clean and safe.

Women Also Vote

I came across this image while I was searching for equality in the future and most of the images that come up are about women. I believe everey female and male have the right to do what they like, whether is something good for our future or something they feel is important to say who they are.I don't think there should be preference on who should vote or not. Everyone should get an equal vote because every vote counts as an individual thought. People in many countries don't allowed women to vote because they feel that women don't know what they are talking about and their vote could cause the election to go down.I think that women also should give their opinion because many women might think differentely, but it always surrounds around the same idea of why such election is good. Now a days the women suffrage day is celebrated because it shows how much women had to go through to get their point across, that we are all equal. This image  says that if women registered to vote they have the resposibility to assume citizenship, which means that women with their vote are showing that they are a good fellow citizenship.Many equality problems have been resolved everywhere, now women express themselves much better and are not afraid to say what they feel. Women are equal to men in voting, job oppurtunities and education because we want a future that is full of equality and not gender differencetion. Inequality between gender, race, or color does not take us anywhere in the future it just suggest that we are racist towards other people becuase they are different from us. To be human and to be either a male or female means that two minds think alike and try to change the world with their help and opinions on how to establish a better environment. Everyone that is equal get along better and establish better working and communication skills between each other and everyone just gets along.

The Future Of Biotech: Experts Look At What's Next

The future of biotech: Experts look at what's next

May 6, 2007

THE BIOTECHNOLOGY GURU
Robert S. Langer
institute professor
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Biomedical technology is helping to relieve human suffering. Universities in the Boston area have played a significant role in creating these technologies and, in some cases, in helping launch them into companies.
One major challenge for the future is government funding for academic research. National Institutes of Health budgets are virtually stagnant, and that’s a big problem for sustaining the type of research that has enabled academic research to flourish and, in many cases, to provide the platforms for launching biotech companies. Early-stage resources for research have been vitally important. Government support has been the catalyst both for major discoveries and, in many cases, for start-up companies trying to make lifesaving products.
In his recent book, Senator Barack Obama discusses a conversation he and I had when both of us were receiving honorary degrees at Northwestern University. He also rightfully comments on how critical basic research, enabled by adequate government funding, is to the future of our country. Today, the average age of someone getting their first NIH grant is over 40 — a real concern for young people who want to have careers in the biosciences.
On the positive side, I think the next 5 to 10 years will see breakthroughs in many areas of medical biotechnology. For example, look for advances in DNA and SiRNA therapies, cell technology, stem cells, and the treatment of cancer and other diseases. We will also witness advances in convergence technology, where medical devices are combined with drugs to make new kinds of therapeutic systems, as well as in nanotechnology, which can have a great effect on drug delivery, imaging, and diagnostics.

The future of the medical field is being planned out for society to live a healthy life. Much of this is not as cheap as we might think it is actually it is very expensive and requires help from the government to flourish. Barack Obama, our president says that this basic research of finding new ways to cure diseases and find new medicine it's the right of the government to help because all this new finding  is for the future of our country. Much of these new medical research will help us humans live a longer life but without suffering, being able to stay healthy, while enjoying life is the best a person could have, it is the best medicine a person could ask for. Althought, it might be so expensive, but it is necessary to provide the cure for humans diseases. In my opinion these advances in medical treatment and new medicine is very good because overall we have had a lot of increase in deaths and not much people are being born because no one wants to bring a baby into this world knowing that there are so many diseases and illneses going around and that the baby could be born with a illness and then have to suffer. Society should be well taken care of because we are the ones that make up this Earth, we are the ones trying to keep everything in peace and trying to take care of our Earth. The government is the one that is helping these companies flourish and to be able and provide society with the best health and medicine services.

How does our future government look like?

People of our society want a governement that provides them with the best public  transpotation to get them to places, like their jobs. Also economic issues need a new direction that our job government will work with at a faster, smarter and more efficiently way.The key to this whole governmental transformation is innovation, the changes and new methods that are introduced.The governement is trying to make a transformation, so the economy works better and people are satisfied with what is happening, change will come if everyone gets together and helps out.
Now a days we do need a better government because we are losing money and many people are out of their jobs. Our economy is not the best right now, during this 21st century companies have had to close down their companies because there is no money to pay their employees and to keep up.
All of society depends on the government to make changes, to provide better services, such as public transportation to get around and better health care. There is a lot of money involved in these services because there is equipment that should be consired and different forms that should be passed to provide everyone with the better living. The college of Europe is helping to transform leaders and in preparing them for a better future to deal with problems of social security and health care and  transportation. Society depends on the government for benefits, but the government has let us down a couple of times, and that is why president Barack Obama wants change, and be able to keep the United States out of problems . In my opinion our world would work better if in the future everyone got a long and things were not as hard to understand between people and everyone took care of our planet.

A Better Planet

I found this image about growing a green future. When we think about going green we think about making a better planet, a cleaner planet. The future needs to  be a clean place for our future generations in which there would not be any diseases and everyone would learned to respect our world. Our planet at this point is disappearing due to natural disasters  and a lot of places are disappearing from our Earth. In trying to grow a green future, a lot of recycling should be done and giving love to our nature. The air we breathe is what has us living in this planet and we are pleased to be alive. Ideas of a world coming to an end pretty soon is ideas that people think would happen in our future because no one is corperating to keep our planet clean.When the world actually comes to an end, we then would think we could of made it go green.Putting down a little of our love to our nature is not so hard because we know that we are helping our world become a better living place.
This image give us an idea that we could make a better environment and help everyone survive.By conserving energy and reducing pollution we are helping creatures survive. To make a difference and making change in our world is taking a new step into trying to conserve where we live and to make it go green.By recycling we are saving paper and that way we would not have to cut down anymore trees because we need to conserve nature. Nature helps humans and animals survive.

Future Of Our Internet Usage Through A Mobile Version

Our future is pretty much advance now a days, we got the latest Ipod, computers, gps, but our future is where we will discover much more of what it has for us. Here, is the future of our internet usage through a mobile version, it has a built in camera, scanner, maps and much more. This device is one in all and is all you need to carry around to know where you are and where your going. Just by placing the device infront of a bulding, like here in NYC, central park, it will tell you the story behind an specific part of the building or even better the specific part of a floor.
Not only can you place it infront of a bulding, it could be placed infront of a car or an animal and it will tell you specific information you need to know about it. The purpose of this internet usage through a mobile version is to manipulate people's mind into knowing what is out there and for them to go and purchase it. Knowing information about an specific item you now could be more prepared if to buy it or not, this mobile device is like a search engine for your life.
Now a days being alive and enjoying things like this, internet mobile is grateful because each day more and more technology is being used and things are done for people in seconds. People are finding information faster and becoming more lazier and that is the negative side about it. In the near future because of the advance technology people do not have to do much anymore because technology is taking care of satisfying us humans. Soon enough we will have robots walking around and doing our own things with the simple request of something. With this future internet mobile device we know that our future is going to be more exciting and we are forgetting that other things are more important, like family and friends. Today, people are just so amazed with the technology that they dont want to leave it behind and just want to explore it all day. Technology makes us lazy, but it also helps us a lot in life, how to get somewhere within minutes and how to find information on something that is new to you and you want to discover. The future is about discovering what is going to be good or bad for us.
