Scientific Discovery and Technological Innovations

• Artificial Intelligence (AI)- processes
  information on its own without human
  intervention.
• Examples
• Games playing where most advances have been
  made
• Natural Language offers the greatest potential
  rewards by allowing people to interact easily
  with computers by talking to them
• Expert systems computer programs that help us
  make decision. May help your parents determine
  the best type of insurance for their particular
  needs
• Robotics used in assembly plants, such as for
  cars. The newest type is called a bot which is
  used by search engines.

14
Scientific Discovery (contd)

• Genetic Engineering refers to DNA in a living
  organism
• Benefits
• Increasing resistance to disease
• Enabling a plant or animal to do something it
  would not typically do
• Enabling a fruit to ripen without getting squashy
• One of the most widely known projects is Human
  Genome Project coordinated by Department of
  Energy and National Institute of Health
• Goal is to identify all of the approximately
  100,000 genes in human DNA
• Store and analyze the data
• Address the ethical, legal, and social issues

15
Scientific Discovery (contd)

• Virtual Reality an artificial environment that
  feels like a real environment created with
  computer hardware and software.
• There is more of a feeling of being in the actual
  environment using all or almost all of the 5
  senses
• The user is immersed through some head-mounted
  device (helmet).
• Used in education, training, medicine, research,
  and other areas

Global Economy

• Banking, finance, commerce (printed money is on
  its way to becoming obsolete)
• Affects the way information and money is
  transmitted
• Electronic commerce having an online business
• Buy
• Sell
• Internet speed will increase because of cable
  modems and DSL
• Digital cash
• Definition allows someone to pay by
  transmitting a number from one computer to
  another.
• Numbers are issued by a bank.
• Each number is unique

18
E-Commerce

• Disadvantages
• SPAM

  entertainment, learning and health care
• Technological advances that affect our personal
  lives
• Clothes that fight odor and bacteria
• Flying car
• SkyCar is able to operate in a less restrictive
  area than a helicopter and is less expensive and
  safer.
• Voice recognition will allow us to talk to
  computers or computer-like devices and they will
  respond.
• Nonlethal weapons - HSV Technologies Inc., of San
  Diego, California developed a non-lethal weapon
  in 2000 that uses ultraviolet laser beams to
  harmlessly immobilize people and animals at a
  distance

20
Personal Lives

• Technological advances (contd)
• Space travel
• Companies developing a fleet of space commercial
  vehicles to provide public space travel
• smart shoes and seats a technology called
  expansive polymer gel uses a micro voltage to
  expand or contract the gel to evenly distribute
  heat and weight
• Smart houses
• Keeps a house comfortable
• Monitors electricity being used
• Helps plan and prepare healthy meals
• Monitors devices and schedules maintenance
• Online shopping
