Cosmic Rays

I found this video very interesting. The part I found most fascinating was the fact that we know very little about the universe. We do not know if space is finite, or if it is infinite. We do not know, how space started. We don't even understand the wave-particle duality of light and quantum theory.

The video we watched explained the concept of cosmic rays: rays that originate from stars going supernova, orbit the star due to magnetic attraction, and then fling out due to centrifugal force, speeding out into space at nearly the speed of light. I do not deny nor support the existence of extraterrestrial life due to inconclusive evidence.

Sight

The video we watched today in class, "Sight", is about a world in which technology has become fully integrated into our daily lives. We are heavily dependent on technology to the point where even our eyesight, a vital sense, has become mixed with technology.

I believe that given enough time and resources, we will be able to engineer this degree of technology. However, in order to do so, we will have to make an exchange: to renounce a part of what makes up human in the name of greater convenience and efficiency. It is an arduous decision and not one to be taken lightly.

IMED Learning

I feel like I've learned many new things in IMED. I have learned the basic structure of static webpages, HTML, and have been exposed to a little bit of CSS. Now, when I visit websites, I am a lot more aware of the work that goes into creating these websites and therefore appreciate the developers more.

In addition to learning about how webpages are created, I have also learned one aspect of how web pages are designed. In IMED, over the past week, we have used Adobe DreamWeaver to design webpages.

Walking On Air Response

I really liked the NASA "Walking On Air" video. It was phenomenal seeing the Earth from outside the atmosphere. I was amazed at seeing the northern and southern lights, as well as being able to identify major cities from the light they emit. I feel like the astronauts in the International Space Station did a fantastic job in creating this video.

Youtube Videos Respone

The videos we watched in class were intriguing and fascinating. The first video we watched explained how the internet worked. Although I had a vague understanding of how the internet worked, the video helped me understand the whole picture. Now that I look back on it, I never really thought about how the internet worked - I took it for granted - but now I realize how vast and complex the internet really is.

The second video we watched portrayed the consequences of putting too much information online. Individuals who have bad intentions can root out publicly available information, and slowly but surely, piece together a person's life. From there on they can blackmail and exploit the victim for personal gains. This really showcased the importance of thinking twice befire
