Future of Computers
Lawrence Rush
&Sai Prabhakar
The computer chip
So cheap, they will be in anything and everything
Market factors drive down prices, and Moore’s Law
improves the technology
One cheap chip now has more processing power
than all the Nations in WW2
What will happen
Chip+Phone=Cell phone, Chip+Phonograph=ipod, Chip +
plane=Deadly Predator Drone
Everything in environment will be a computer of some kind
“Ubiquitous Computing”
The word computer will disappear
Contact lenses that will be able to give instant information about anything at a glance
Driverless cars that will make car accidents a thing of the past
Videogames that allow for real movement and include a sense of touch
Clothes that will scan DNA for bad genes and virtual doctors that can answer questions
Augmented Reality
Virtually recreated scenes from the past on contact lenses
Information available at a glanceMemorization will be a thing of the
pastTranslations will appear in real-time as
a person speaks a different language
Computers and the brain
Specialized computer chips will be able to read minds
Biofeedback will be able to directly control computers
Thinking will be able to control things in the physical world
Magnetism can give people the force
Ethical Issues
So much information available that it may invade one’s privacy
Students will be able to discreetly cheat much easier, meaning education system may have to change
Memorization will slowly start to disappear People may get far too lost in their virtual lives People may be able to alter their genes and change
their bodies, a “real” person may seldom be seen
Issues with mind reading
How are you supposed to hit on a girl if she can read your mind?
What will the future of negotiating be like?
Will it be possible to lie?
Testing Knowledge
What are three words that could disappear from the
human speech?
Computer, Car accident, Tumor
What were some of the Technologies that were created for the military
before being given to the public?
Driverless car(to automate U.S. Military Forces)
GPS(to guide ICBM missiles)Internet(to connect scientists and officials in a nuclear war)
What are some applications for internet
connected contact lenses?
Military use (anyone else see that coming?)
Taking photos or recording events(with no one else knowing)
Recreate long lost images or destroyed civilizations before your eyes
Translate languages as they are spoken
What’s New?
Fabric Circuit Boards Can be washed and worn One day will be capable of biometric
monitoring Especially valuable for law enforcers or
military personnel

more stuff!

LETS TALK ABOUT IT!
1. FORM GROUPS OF 3-4
2. READ QUESTION
3. CONVERSE WITH CLASS MEMBERS
4. COME UP WITH CREATIVE SOLUTIONS
5. SHARE
QUESTION 1
IMAGINE THE JOB YOU WISH TO HOLD WHEN YOU GET OLDER, COULD A ROBOT PROGRAMMED BY A SUPERCOMPUTER, BE PROGRAMMED TO DO THAT JOB AS WELL AS YOU? IF NOT BETTER?
QUESTION 2
COULD THERE BE ANOTHER WORLD WAR IN THE FUTURE? IF SO HOW WOULD ADVANCE COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND ROBOTICS AFFECT WARFARE?
QUESTION 3
WITH ADVANCES IN COMPUTERS LEADING TO ADVANCES IN BIOENGINEERING. WHAT IF YOU COULD PROGRAM YOUR CHILDREN'S GENETICS? WOULD YOU WANT TO?
RUN-ON Sentences
A run-on sentence occurs when two or more independent clauses are not joined correctly. An independent clause is a group of words that can stand alone as a sentence, as in, “the bear growls”. Your writing may be confusing or unclear if independent clauses are joined incorrectly.
FUSED: When two independent clauses are joined incorrectly. Can be corrected by adding a comma or additional words.
COMMA SPLICE: When two independent clauses are separated by a comma. It can be corrected by replacing the comma by a semicolon, adding “and” or “because” or restructuring the entire sentence.
FUSED
Run-on: My professor read my paper she said it was excellent.
Correction: My professor read my paper, and she said it was excellent.
COMMA SPLICE
Run-on: My cat meowed angrily, I knew she wanted food.
Correction: My cat meowed angrily; I knew she wanted food.
-My cat meowed angrily; therefore, I knew she wanted food.
CONVERTING CLAUSES TO SENTENCES
Run-on: It seemed to Wanda that her daughter had more than enough crayons, they were strewn across the bedroom floor and some of them were broken, and, worse still, someone had used the stub of a red crayon to mark a sinister smiley face on the wall.
Correction: It seemed to Wanda that her daughter had more than enough crayons. They were strewn across the bedroom floor, and some of them were broken. Worse still, someone had used the stub of a red crayon to mark a sinister smiley face on the wall.
RESTRUCTURING A CLAUSE
Run-on: I told my roommate I would be late, she still locked me out.
Correction: Although I told my roommate I would be late, she still locked me out.
THANK YOU!
