The World's Technological Growth

The fact that I found most surprising was the one concerning supercomputers performing computation more effectively than the human brain. Others I found surprising were the one about how we have five times as many words in English now than in Shakespeare's age and the one about how fast information gets outdated, especially when pursuing a technical degree.

In the future, technology will become completely indispensable to human activities, interactions, and careers. People not trained to operate technology will be severely disadvantaged. Also, we will have to be readily adapted to frequent changes since technology updates itself rather quickly.

I don't expect much non-technological change to occur 10 years from now. Hopefully, the economic troubles in the world will lessen by then. Technology will be far more advanced in 10 years. As a result, we'll have much more alternatives to activities we do today.

future

the thing that suprised me the most was the things about google and facebook and the exponential increase in use of certain electronics. In order to be successful in the future you need to have technological skills and or medical skills because those two fields will always need occupation. in the future, i think that the world will over populate and we will need to move some people to he moon or something. i also think that companies like facebook will have lots of power.

did you know?

What facts from the video surprised you?

in this video they mention the top 10 in-demand jobs in 2010 did not exist in 2004. We are currently preparing students for jobs that don't yet exist



What skills do you think you will need to be successful in the future?

in my opinion in the future, human health care jobs will be increase.
Because people are living longer and it cause the increasing population of elderly.



What do you think life will be like in 10 years here in New Mexico, in the U.S., and in the world?
 In my opinion in the future, the population growth rate will decreasing. Because i think lots of young people in New Mexico will leave the New Mexico city.

Did You Know 3.0

1.) In response to the video clip, discuss the following questions on the class blog:  

q.What facts from the video surprised you?

a. That the amount of texts that are sent today exceeded the total population of today  Another surprising fact was the amount of internet devices in the world are allot. There was also the facts the amount of babies that born while watching that video first it started in the US the to china and then into India with the biggest birth rate.  

q.What skills do you think you will need to be successful in the future? 

a. to predict what lessons bout technology will not be out dated by the time  you finish college. there are the teaching jobs that are important too. Then there is the jobs of the future like engineers and architect. then there are the scientists that are important as well.  

q.What do you think life will be like in 10 years here in New Mexico, in the U.S., and in the world?

a. I think that life will be in 10 years here would be more population and allot of more areas of cities. The water usages might go down even more than that of today. The air might be a little more polluted than the air of today. There could be that there might be a huge advancement in technology due to some great discovery in the future. There could also be the possibility of new ways to get rid of pollution and garbage too.  

My thoughts about the future

This video gave me some rely deep thoughts about our technology in the future, let me tell you some of my best thoughts: Imagine a computer that is installed through your ear or nose to communicate with your brain. The computer will feed images and sounds to your head that look and sound like you can see and hear them but however the computer is simply projecting them into your brain to look and sound like you’re seeing and hearing with your eyes and ears, so in other words a constructive illusion. You will be able to control the images you see with your words or thoughts and your hands. In the future there will be no need for phones, email, social networks, computers, or even buttons on anything, the computer will control your house door, your blender, your stove, your washer and drier, you will be able to type papers with your words, you will be able to literally be able to through a message to your friends,  every piece of technology that you can think of from a bike lock to a air plane will be controlled by this computer. There will be no need for buttons or screens. The computer will be powered by your diet, so everything you need to live the computer will use for power, we will need to eat more. With this computer the use of energy will drop, you will not go deaf or blind from media, and there will be only one to three forms of long-distance communication.     

future

the main fact the surprised me is the fact that china is going to be the worlds biggest english speaking country in the world. it surprised me because why would they start speaking english and just abandon their own language. to be successful in the future you will need to know how to work a computer, deal with technology and be able to fix almost any computer problem. i fill like its going to start progressing like the movie W.AL.E.E something like that. it would have people facing a computer screen all day, robots would play sports for us and everyone is going to be super fat.

Did you know?

That china's one is in a million is 23 the same as you.If facebook was a country it would be third most populated country in the world. 600 tweets a second.
You need skills that will wont be need tell 10 years later is amazing.
It will be more tech and less hands on jobs.

advanced technology

What facts from the video surprised you?
i think what surprised me was the while we were watching the video 65 babies were born. then how much technology has grown and by our third course everything that we learned in the first course is outdated. everything.

What skills do you think you will need to be successful in the future?
computer skills for sure. and just being up to date with everything. but still maintain a good job ethnic


What do you think life will be like in 10 years here in New Mexico, in the U.S., and in the world?  i think computers will take over the world.... lol jk :) maybe... 

i think that the world human population will have to work harder and harder at everything. or maybe the complete opposite. with technology becoming more advanced every 2 years, were going to have to adjust will all this "Power". one down fall is that we might be to dependant on this advancement that we will in a way "dumb" down and let the computers do all the thinking. 

Water Scarcity on Earth

In an environment where the idea of fresh water running out is surreal, the importance of fresh water can often be insufficiently acknowledged. In reality, the world is being depleted of its safe fresh water supply to the point where more people globally are going thirsty as time progresses. Many countries in different continents are suffering because of water-related issues. Most of the world's fresh water supply is used for agriculture and industrial purposes, leaving only 8% for domestic and personal usage. Although this is a small percentage, it does leave at least some room for improving how the average person uses water.

There has been some talk as to whether water is a human right or not. In a perfect world, clean water should be available for all of Earth's inhabitants around the globe. However, opportunities to water are unevenly balanced among the world's countries. In the future, the crisis for water distribution should be lessened as a result of necessary actions to stop it.

Clean Water

I am glad that the world is taking an inishutive in saving the earth’s fresh water, however I was alarmed to find that we citizens of the earth are only responsible for 8% of the wasted fresh water, and the other 92% is because of agriculture and industry. I never knew this till now, fresh water activists never talk about what our government’s water wasting problems but they always have something to say about us… the 8%.  

      I was alarmed after I read the last paragraph: (“From a 2007 article by the Food and agriculture organization: "By 2025, 1.8 billion people will be living in countries or regions with absolute water scarcity, and two-thirds of the world's population could be living under water stress conditions, FAO said today. Water use has grown at more than twice the rate of population increase over the last century, making sustainable, efficient and equitable management of scarce water resources a key challenge for the future, according to FAO's Pasquale Steduto, current Chair of the United Nations coordination mechanism, UN-Water.”)(from the actual article). This is our future and we have to act now. 

water?

people who can't access to water. walk hours and miles per day to get fresh water and even then it may not be clean.
Every 15 seconds, a child dies due to water-born diseases.
Georg Fischer awards for providing access to clean water. He involved in projects in developing countries and diseaster area to improve the water supply and 200,000 people received a better access to clean drinking water.

Water Waster :-(

 Fresh water  accounts  for only  2.5% of  the earth's water.  Is this really enough water for human and animal use for the entire world?  The Vatican and the UN are working together to address this issue of social justice, that all people have the right to clean water for drinking and use in our world. This is not a privilege but a human right. We need to better conserve water in as many ways as we can to conserve and reuse water including water usage for agriculture.

water

Exactly 2.5% is the total amount of fresh water in the total amount of global water. if only 2.5% of fresh water is needed to substane the world we need to be able to reuse our water. we need to make water problems a "global public good" if its public its more likely to become an issue to people,if its global then its a global issue, and if its good then the out come will also become good.

Water

Christina Peppard talked about how fresh water has become very unavailable to many people. She talked about was their are many projects trying to save water but the real problem is the farming industry and their has been lots of people want to control drinking water. The other problem is the industry of big business that uses a lot of the water.
 She cites very reliable sources some of the numbers shocked  me that 1.8 billion people could be with out water in 2025 that was very shocking to me.

agua

It's kind of strange to think that only 2% of the world's water is drinkable.and, by the year 2025 1.8 billion people will live in countries or regions with absolute water scarcity. We need to come up with a sustainable and efficient way to manage the world's water use.

You Water Waster!! jk

i think its really crazy that us humans think that if we take a shorter shower or not let the water run while brushing your teeth then the earths saved! but in all reality we really need to be focusing on huge industry's that are gulping up our water. what shes doing is trying to get the word out. but arnt we all kinda? we want to be here for a long time but its going to be hard if we dont have water. well at least New Mexico wont have any water or money because of Texas.... 

i will admit america does take a lot of the clean water. we dont have to walk 15 miles to go get water that may or may not be clean.or were not worried if someone is dieing every 15 seconds. we need to start watching what were doing as a nation. i mean do we really need 15 thousand McDonald's or Walmarts???? i think not. we as a nation need to start looking at the bigger picture. 

Save water! before its to late....

chile?

1.) Research "food security" - what is it and why is it important?

Food Security means that all people at all times have physical & economic access to adequate amounts of nutritious, safe, and culturally appropriate foods, which are produced in an environmentally sustainable and socially just manner, and that people are able to make informed decisions about their food choices.

Food Security also means that the people who produce our food are able to earn a decent, living wage growing, catching, producing, processing, transporting, retailing, and serving food.

2. Discuss the following: What are experts' concerns about genetically modified chile? 

in this video experts are concerned about genetically modify food.

They  mention that controlling the seeds is not some abstraction whoever provides the world's seeds controls the world's food supply. 

and also mentioned it is system base of illness so it will effect whole system such as create new disease, give harm our environment

3. Do you think their concerns are justified?

I think their opinion are reasonable. they have a prof that it is not healthy thing for our environment and body.

4.  How would you feel about red, green, or gm chile being your choice

 i think i will feel uncomfortable when i have to eat genetically modified chile. 

The Genetic Engineering of Foods

Food security measures whether people are guaranteed with enough food to supply their required nutrition. This is important because it has to do with the status of a nation, how a nation's people live, and what that nation does with food to have such conditions.

Experts are concerned over the necessity of genetically modifying foods. Genetic modification does not necessarily increase the yield of crops or improve other factors of agriculture. In fact, it actually causes deterioration in health and is a threat to the balance of our ecosystem. Their concerns are definitely justified because eating toxic food is a very serious matter. I would not feel comfortable about red, green, or genetically modified being my choices.

Food.

Food security is a measure of ensured access to essential nutrition, such as a countrie's  access to sufficient food that provides enough nutrition to live a balanced healthy lifestyle. It is important because it helps people become more healthy. The experts in "genetic chile" we're  concerned about genetically modified foods because they weren't modified to help. They still needed pesticides and were leaking nutrition. They were also concerned because the agricultural industry has turned into a corporate industry. There are more prisoners in the United States than there are farmers. Also, millions of people die form starvation every year, and most of them being children. Of those people, 90% of  them live in a country where they export foods to wealthier countries.

chile

FOOD SECURITY: 
what is it: this is when people have safe nutritious food to maintain a sustainable diet.
why is it important: this is important so then people don't get fat and don't get sick. its also to make sure people are getting enough food. the world has so much food and everybody should be able to have some.

they are concerned because were eating this Chile and it could contain bad stuff and then that is now in our body. and just how it really shouldn't be touched by genetics. as it had said we don't control what the seeds come from the ground. they did make a good point of how the same big company's that once did genetics on the food are the ones controlling the food we eat.  the last question is kinda of hard for me to answer because i don't eat Chile at all... i think its really gross and hot. but i think it does change your mind about eating something that was once apart of your diet in New Mexico all of a sudden being told that its genetically modified. thats just nasty...
