I remember back in 2000 when the flip phones had just come out and fast forwars 17 years later we now have a computer that can read anyones facial expression and tell us how they are feeling. I can't even begin to imagine how much more advanced technology is going to get later on in life, it already seems to be that we could possibly have all the technology we could ask for, yet people all around the world just seem to be getting better and thinking of smarter ways to invent new things.

Why is this a good idea you may ask. For starters if technology will be able to read kids expressions while learning and being in class for teachers there will be one very good benifit. " A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored" Dr. Huang predicts this is going to be a very good thing for teachers, because teachers will be able to know what a kid is feeling this means that the teach will no longer have to keep going over the same information with the same kids just because one kid does not understrand it or isnt paying attention.

That at least according to some new computer software that can recognize emotions. The person who is making the software is Thomas Huang,of the Beckman institute for advanced science at the university of illinois"(paragraph 1) .Huang is doing this by trying to recongnize other people facial expression. This computer software is a 3-D printer which can make a mode of the face."The process begin when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 4 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles"(paragraph3).A 3-D printer is way better then a normal printer. At least for a 3-D printer it gives you all the close up details of how they are feeing. The movement of the one is called action unit according to Dr. huang who relies on the work of psychologist,such as Dr. Pual Eckman,creator of FACS (paragraph 3).The computer will calculate this everyday "In fact, we human perform this same impressive "calculation" everyday amd for instance,you can probably tell how a friend feeling simply by the look on her face"(Paragraph5).This can calulate every single movement that you make. So here what the people who is making the software want you to do. This a partner they will like for you to take a mirror a genunie smile and forced one. The real smile is called a zygomatic major that lift the corner of your mouth."Meanwhile,muscles called orbicularis oculi pars palpabraeus make crow's-feet around your eyes"(paragraph8).I'm pretty sure is the muscle that are around your eyes.

In the sense that kids often time get bored in class, hence the reason they have a bad grade or get in trouble in that class, something has to change. Maybe it's the child's fault, but your traditional lesson isn't the most fun. If the instructor could find out what's boring the child and change the lesson to keep the child entertained then maybe the child wouldn't get into so much trouble with that teacher or maybe the child's grade in the class would take a huge leap.

We're in a time where money is the top priority in our lives. All those gas prices, and the car insurance car owners must pay is ridiculous. Sometimes people can't even sleep at night due to all the thinking of "how will I pay this?", or "how will I pay that?" It later becomes a constant battle. This is when technology comes in handy. Now with the common "Facebook" and other social media, we're able to connect more and more. It's sad to see people waste their money going to a friends house for probably an hour or so, when they can just talk virtually. Elisabeth Rosenthal, writer of 'The End of Car Culture,' most likely will agree with me. Rosenthal inputs Mimi Sheller's say in all this.

This system can pick up on a fake emotion, the author explains how it can read a "fake smile" and that to them "faces don't lie" (para. 8). If this system is able to sense when a student is unhappy or angry, this could be used as an advantage in helping the student. Not only this, but the author explains that "moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but may even help produce them" (para. 9).

If I could ride the bus to and from school I would, but, they refuse to pick me up in the mornings so I drive my moms SUV istead while im not complaining because I dont have to ride in sticky seats or be constantly harassed by the kid behind me kicking my seat. Driving an SUV (which is also extremely hard to park) is not a very efficient way to get to school

While I tried walking it was difficult getting to school on time and i was depleeted of energy. So driving became the most efficient way.

For example it can be useful for making payments , searching up information you need , paperwork, photoshop, diffrent apps that are useful on making your life better. Its a better sorce of seaching stuff up learning more about the world and the physics. Theres more to this i mostly use it for searching up information about the topic i want to learn about. Its easier for me beacuse i dont like rreading alot and i can just look up videos instead of having to sit there for an hour looking up information or reading it beacuse reading makes me sleepy. Thats why i think the web is an awsome resorse for people that need to be informed and thought many diffrent things.

Its a very good sorce for people that have the job as a photographer beacuse they will make everything work in many ways. For example if something in the picture gets in the way the computer will show u how to get rid or it instead of doing all the extra stuff on taking a whole lot of pictures that look the same or worst. Why waist your time on doing that instead get the app or the program and get to steping its way better and easier to get pictures that are perfect.
