HW#7
Death: Once a Upon a time there was a merchant in Baghdad who sent his servant to the market to buys a provisions and in a little while the servant came back, white and trembling, and said, Master, just now when I was in the market-place i was jostled by a woman in the crowd and when I turned I saw it was death that josled me. She looked at me and made a threatening gesture; now, please lend me your horse, and I will ride away from this city and avoid my fate. I will go to Samarra and there death will not find me. The merchant lent him his horse and the servant mounted it, and he dug his spurs in its flanks and as fast as the horse could gallop he went. Then the merchant went down to the market-place and he saw me standing in the crowd and he came to me and said, Why did you make threatening gesture to my servant when you saw him this morning? That was not threatening gesture, i said, it was only start of surprise. I was astonished to see him in Bagdad, for I had an appointment with him to-night in Samarra
-- From W.Somerset Maugham, Sheppey, 1933
Predictions, especially prediction that associates with our existence, our society normality, catastrophes of some kind, always have been very important place in the psyche of the human race. Ancient and modern societies always been similarly fascinated by prophecies, curiosity about the future. From early days, people believed in prophet which connotes any individual who speaks for God or the gods, who serves as mouthpiece for divinity. In fact, from the days of the Delphic oracles, to the Roman vestal virgins, to the Revelation of St.John to Nostradamus, prophecies were invariably so convoluted, ambiguous and murky that few could interpret them until after they were fulfilled-but strange thing is they were always fulfilled.
for example:
According to Nostradamus
Sonsg, chants and slogans of the Slavic people
While princes and Lord are captive in the prisons
In the future, by idiots without heads
Will be received as divine oracles.
Nostradamus interpreters who found this quatrains was a predictions of 1917 Russian revolution. Some say the way he writes this quatrains in so strange, is because of understanding future figures and items was very difficult. But he tried all his best to make meaning out of what he saw in his vision.
So what is our time prophet? Where are they? who are they?
The ancient time, prophets were known to have supernatural power to travel to future, to warn society from major catastrophes etc, but it was the government authorities who asks the questions and rely on their answers. But most of the times we realize right after when catastrophic event happened, destroyed some amount of damage in society, economy and population.
It took a long time for science and computers to be well accepted as new revolution of information. Government authorities started rely on scientists, who are making computations to analyze systems and trying to predict what will happen in the future. Prediction of almost anything such as economic, weather forecast, the depletion of the ozone layer, the greenhouse effect and earthquakes.

2) The concept of collection data, observing and making a system.
I would collect data preferable similar to my idea done with forethought in a well organized way, or systematic manner to step up to next level
By collecting data, i can have very clear image what it could be inside outside. May be i can use the model to predict something new. predict doesn't only mean telling future right?
Most importantly I need to make sure will it be successful or partially successful or not.

HW#6
Q: Put your answer to this question on your blog under the heading HW6, and label it "1." Regarding your term project topic, give a list of references to useful Web sites and other information. Check the blogs of the others in the class because, for HW #6, people were asked to provide some Web sites relevant to your topic and provide reviews of them. You may quote the reviews in your document (use quotation marks) if you like. The basic idea here is to begin to assemble everything you have on the topic in one place so you have something to work with. Here are the blogs of the members of the class:
1) http://www.howstuffworks.com/usb.htm
http://www.lightinthebox.com.sb/the-ultimate-solution-in-car-theft-prevention.html
Q.Give your answer to this question the label "2." Design an outline for your report (if you are going to do a report). If you are going to write a story, design something about it (a plot? An outline? Some alternative possible themes? Whatever - if I had experience as a creative writing instructor I might be able to provide further guidance.) If you want to do something besides a report or a story (say a program, or whatever it is), you are welcome to check with me for suggestions, or just figure out yourself what to do for this question that is equivalent. Give the outline.
2) Introduction
How I come out with this USB key Idea
and Applying TRIZ methods
Body
Details about how it works and additional devices
Possibly show the actual program
for Demonstration Using OS
COnclusion
Q: Give your answer to this question the label "3." Reorganize your answer to question 1 using the outline of question 2. The resulting report is a start to your project, and is the answer to this question!
3) Understanding how USB works will help me to develop this project that I'm working on. I have a idea that USB key for everything. USB that has a unique code for specific doors and I have applied a lot TRIZ methodology to enhanced on this device. Main purpose is to reduce pocket items. etc. By doing this I have came with having USB on the smart phone. it will reduce your pocket weight. Also understanding finger print scanning system, id card scan system might help me to make better devices.
And In order to show, how it possible work, I might use booting operating system from USB or write a small program that reads file on USB.

Homework#5
1)Recall "The Last Lecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams." This was very applicable to this course because he was talking about the future...your future! (Actually, his kids' futures - at the end he said that was one of his head fakes, but that's ok.) Give at least one lesson, insight, or other interesting thought you get from the movie. Explain.
When I was watching the video, it was very inspiring to me how he grow up, how he come up with ideas and other people support to the speaker was like a miracle. He did keep his humble, honest, free-thinker, child like characters in this kind of society, was one of the admirable things and rare thing to have in this society. Because internal environment separates us from our crazy imagination, power of dreaming, and the thought that say NOTHING is impossible. He didn't give up on those dreams, he kept holding with those dreams. One of the important thing was he did work for those dream, he tried to make those dream.
According to his presentation, he faced with many life changing decisions. But every decision, even attempt to make decision was related to his dream. His dream was priority number one. But he didn't become an astronaut, but he flew higher and faster than astronauts in his dream world. Most importantly, he is always happy about what he does everyday. What I learned was, do what you have passion for, and do it good. Most importantly appreciate more to whoever is supporting you.
b) Consider what topic you would like to work on for a term project. In this course, we will develop the project incrementally with each HW, so that it matures as we go along and there is less risk of a mad rush at the end. You could use the topic you used for our discussion of the Delphi Method. Or you could pick another one. Either way, you can change your mind later if you like. For now, state your topic, and how sure you are about whether to do it.
I'm thinking about reducing items in our pocket that we carry everyday, I'm thinking to put everything together like phone, wallet, key, etc to one items. I will call it, "UNIKEY".
I also had another idea how to record guitar without connecting it to recorder or computer. Only guitar and device but it would be transferable to computer and you can listen back just like Ipod.
(I'm pretty sure about this 2 ideas, I have to choose one of them)
Future of brain-augmenting chips/helmets/computers/
Was very interesting to me because I think it was on September 28th 2010.
Future of online and virtual education
Thinking of Future, and its education system will be very different than today's. There are millions of people who are willing to come or study abroad. It will be so cool to enroll in class from Mongolia sitting on my computer and get the American diploma. It will be very nice to teach English or Mathematics to hundreds of kids who are in Africa,South Asia, and Latin America at same time, without standing in the sun. It will be very nice for teacher has to go and show real field method class from Siberian wild forest. It will be very nice to travel through amazon river while you are sitting in place you feel comfortable.

3) i have idea of using phone as key, credit card. I'm thinking to branch out this device to different level. Key will be shape as USB which contains unique code for your door, car, storage unit, bank safe, etc.U can start your car with voice activation, finger print etc. This phone can include all of security devices. But the one side of the phone will be credit card magnetic stripe but it only activates with your finger print confirmation from touching your phone special screen. Also the phone has a GPS navigator, Voice activation device, Security alarm, etc.
By doing this we may eliminate death rate of car accident from texting while you driving, talking while you driving etc. Because phone will be used as key and attach to the car certain place and stays in certain place.
b) I have applied on my idea these TRIZ values
Segmentation":
break something unitary
into parts, modules, pieces,
Merging":
assemble similar objects into a larger assembly
"Universality":
make one thing do more than one thing
Nested Doll":
(like those Russian dolls)
Anti-weight":
counter heaviness with flotation
"Preliminary anti-action":
counter bad effects of good things somehow
Another dimension":
use the 3rd dimension or 4th, etc.
Flexible shells and thin films": get rid of heavy, solid things
Local Quality":
make something that is
uniform, nonuniform

Future of brain-augmenting chips/helmets/computers/
Was very interesting to me because I think it was on September 28th 2010.
Recently the University of California, Berkeley made a someone might say strange research about how people choose their hand in order to perform some certain activities, such as pushing elevator button, holding car key, etc. The University of California, Berkeley has applied transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to the posterior parietal cortex region of the brain in 33 right-handed volunteers and found that stimulating the left side spurred an increase in their use of the left hand.
Researcher has found out that the left hemisphere of the brain controls the motor skills of the right side of the body and vice versa. By stimulating the parietal cortex, which plays a key role in processing spatial relationships and planning movement, the neurons that govern motor skills were disrupted. Most importantly, researchers found out, using TMS possible to alter how people make decision in daily basis. Further research possibly helps us to manipulate brain function to body function, even possibly rehabilitation of victim of stroke etc.
"By understanding this process, we hope to be able to develop methods to overcome learned limb disuse," said Richard Ivry, UC Berkeley professor of psychology and neuroscience and co-author of the study.
In TMS, magnetic pulses alter electrical activity in the brain, disrupting the neurons in the underlying brain tissue. While the current findings are limited to hand choice, TMS could, in theory, influence other decisions, such as whether to choose an apple or an orange, or even which movie to see, Ivry said.

In an early step toward letting severely paralyzed people speak with their thoughts, University of Utah researchers translated brain signals into words using two grids of 16 microelectrodes implanted beneath the skull but atop the brain.
"We have been able to decode spoken words using only signals from the brain with a device that has promise for long-term use in paralyzed patients who cannot now speak," says Bradley Greger, an assistant professor of bioengineering.
