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.

ID and Presentation thoughts.

I thought that it was very informative! I didn't know that most of what he was saying was true! I wasn't aware that people could be traced down by number and computer if someone were to do bad things, like prank call, create fake accounts and harrass others, and stealing ones identity. I didn't know that what ever you said online was there forever, even if you delete it! This presentation did help me and made me be more catious about what I say and do online. I want to avoid trouble and be safe as well. It made me think about what others say and do online too. I know that I can definately be more responsible online and off and I hope others can do the same.

I enjoyed how Dep. Krupp actaully shared stories and examples of things that have happened in the past. It made me realize that people and students actually do bad things and it helped me to realize that being resonsible and civil online is going to make me a better person. It's going to make myself and others around me look better.

I really appreciated him taking time out of his day to better inform me about online safety and what to do if something bad were to happen.
