Organization Skills and Preferences 

     Organizing computers can be very messy and complex at times. However, that can all change by adding like documents together into one folder. These can be left on the desktop and accessed with ease and timeless effort. Moving on to online features the toolbar/bookmark bar does it all! Its very simple to establish a well organized and functioning toolbar. All of one's favorite websites/RSS feeds can be compiled into one toolbar that is clearly displayed on the top of a web browser. Finally, as for email, the homepage of the email site can be set as the default browser. An example of this would be Google, Google is a common site that allows quick searches and email access.

The All Seeing Eye is a new camera that is throwable in order to take picture of dangerous or unknown areas. All the information is captured and immediately sent to a mobile device, that way first responders can know what they are getting into around the corner. The main use of this camera is to save victim's lives more efficiently than before.

The shock absorbent ball-like camera contains

According to the World Bank, since 1980 low-income countries have accounted for only 9% of the world's disasters, yet for 48% of the resultant fatalities. Much of this is down to the expense and inaccessibility of the emergency tech used by wealthier nations. That's why US designer and public policy grad Francisco Aguilar developed Bounce Imaging -- a low cost, all-seeing eye that can be thrown like a baseball into hostile and high-risk situations.

  • The shock-absorbent ball, which contains a series of cameras and sensors, can be thrown into dangerous or unknown locations to take panoramic images. It can also have heat sensors, Geiger counters, vibration antennae and smoke detectors installed. All the information is then fed back instantly to a mobile device so that first responders can assess what is round the corner, down a tunnel or amid the rubble.

Amazon Drones Are The Future, Not Today.

The world is not ready for Amazon Drones yet. There are still way to many milestones that can not be reached. They are under development in still many aspects but mostly in that their sensors will work. However, they can still hit into transparent windows, power cords, and even more drones due to over population. Another fault is that the drones use mainly gps satellites to know their surroundings. The problem with that is that their motions could be off by a few feet. They have the technology to equip them with infrared and laser sensors, but the cost will be too expensive for each and every drone. Its time for a reality check!

I believe that Twitter and Instagram should not even be allowed in school none the less be used in the classroom. Students can take advantage of those situations and also just ruins the purpose of having these personal applications. They are mostly used by teens to express themselves and what they enjoy not school related. Also, not just students can take advantage but teachers too. Teachers when allowed into these student's profiles have all the power, which a student may not like or want to happen.

"You Must Be The Change You Wish To See In The World." -Mahatma Gandhi

In life personal goals are a way to motivate yourself in order to feel good. Not only that but things get accomplished much faster and provide that feeling of determination. Also, I believe that it makes one a better person in life when they feel accomplished it gives off that positive energy. Their peers and community will be able to see it and feel it. Lastly, if that person is really successful in their goals they can give back to their community by providing the use of their talents which they excelled in.
