Roger Bannister

• Bannister was the first person to run the first sub-four-minute mile, as well as being a physician and academic. He achieved this feat on May 6^th 1954 in Oxford. His actual time was 3 minutes and 59.4 seconds.
• Well in this specific instance, Bannister had minimal training and had focused most of his energies on his becoming a doctor.
•  The technology that must have helped him achieve his goal would have been the technology to tell and record time for when he trained.

Reflection: I think that Bannister’s achievement is a pretty amazing one because he didn’t train all that much and was still able to set the record that he did.

•                 The innovation I have researched is the slowly growing technology of teleportation.  Scientist is able to teleport information and even electrons from one location to another. This couldn’t have been done without the continuous study of quantum physics.
•                 When this technology finally grows large enough to be able to transport objects, and even humans, the technology will help the world in regards to transportation.
•                 This technology will solve modern transportation being able to send someone from one location to another in seconds.
•                 I think that this innovation is fantastic and I can’t wait until it teleportation becomes a reality.

• The innovation I found was an electric bus that can travel 350 miles on one single charge. The bus, titled the Catalyst E2 Series electric vehicle, is a zero emission vehicle and on one charge it’s estimated that the bus can get through one entire day’s job without needed to recharge again.
• This innovation would impact everyone relying on busses for transportation, and quite frankly the entire world would benefit from its zero emission.
• The problems it might solve are the issues of greenhouse gases and pollution, as well as creating cheaper modes of fuel for the busses.
• I think this is a great innovation and I hope that this electric bus becomes the norm for the country, and hopefully the world.

Nathan Sawaya

Nathan Sawaya

1. The excellence achieved by Sawaya is that he is a world famous LEGO artist. He is the only person to be recognized as both a LEGO Master Builder and a LEGO Certified Professional.
2. Sawaya’s excellence was achieved by practicing his master craft and being determined to do only LEGO art.
3. Technology impacted Sawaya because without the technology to create, package, and ship LEGOs he would have never discovered LEGOs in the first place.

Reflection: I think that this example of Sawaya’s excellence is a perfect way to show that anything is possible and with skill and luck you can become very successful doing something you love.

1)      Gumby Robots are new 3d printed devices that are soft and bendable robots that are able to snap back to their original shape when heated. These Gumby Robots are planned to be a big advancements to Origami Robots or medicine delivery robots.

2)      These Gumby Bots would be able to help many because of its various possible uses.

3)      They could solve various problems such as helping with medicine delivery to patients, or delicate operations that require small robots and movements, or solar panel technology since they can sense and react to heat. The possibilities are endless.

4)      I think this innovation is incredible and will hopefully be able to help many because these Gumby Robots are brilliant.

Blown to Bits Chapter 3 Summary

Blown to Bits Chapter 3 Summary

This chapter focuses mainly on the hidden information within various documents and files inside a computer. The chapter talks about how these hidden information can harm us or help us. It gave examples of mistakes companies and government agencies have made because of their ignorance towards the hidden information of these documents or files. The chapter also talks about how files are just bits and any letter, symbols, pixel, etc. is just a binary string. The chapter also talks about how the binary strings are interpreted and how one string of binary digits can mean something completely different if interpreted in a different way.
