Label it Emerging Technology, Part 1
Label it Emerging Technology Part 1 The 2012 article I read about was called "Light-Field Photography." The article was explaining how light-field photography works. After taking a picture, you can adjust the focus on what you want it to be focused on in the picture, no matter how far the lense is from it. Future technology is becoming very advanced. It really surprised me how no matter how far the lense is from what you want to focus on, or what you want to focus on doesn't show up in the orginal photo, the camera still recongnizes that it's there and you can adjust your focus after you took the picture. I thought that was really cool and makes me wonder why I haven't heard about this sooner! I can definitely assume that because of the 3D printing, that later in the future, technology will automatically be in 3D.
Looking at the list from 2009, I wasn't very surprised. I didn't really know a lot about the things on the 2009 list rather than 2012. I think they're making things more simpler in a more complex way.

Stevie Wonder
In Saginaw,
Michigan on May 13, 1950, a blind infant named Stevie Wonder. He was premature
and having too much oxygen in the incubator causing him to become blind. At an early age, he developed a gift for
music. By the age of ten, he already taught himself how to play harmonica,
drums, piano, and also, participated in church choir. He was just 11 years old
when he was discovered by Ronnie White of the Motown band, the Miracles. An
audition followed with Berry Gordy Jr., who then signed him to a record deal.
His adopted
brothers and sisters also face significant physical challenges. Adopted sister,
Julia, is deaf. Adopted brother, Martin, has a deformed arm and hand. Phoenix
and Celeste are having cleft palates repaired. Aileen lost her birth father to
cancer, and her birth mother fled after his death.
Growing up as a child prodigy,
his talent was known to everyone. His talent and bright attitude quickly spread
to many. After signing to a record deal, he became more known. Years later, we
was known world wide. Playing concerts and live shows, people fell in love with
his music. However, on August,6, 1973 Stevie Wonder was in a car accident. The
twenty-three year old was sleeping in the passenger seat, had his headphones
on, the driver distracted by something, and failed to notice the truck ahead of
them and crashed. This sent Stevie into a coma for several days.
After recovery,
things shortly went back to normal. Years later, he married, and had several
children. Still alive today, the legendary, Stevie Wonder, continues to play
live shows and concerts across the country.
