"A robot scientist will dream up new materials to advance computing and fight pollution"

Robots are now trying to create new man made materials or robot made. The process of this will begin with a robot taking a pipette and dipping it into a dish transferring a tiny amount of a liquid back to one of the receptacles. Once the samples are complete the second making will feed the information to a computer that controls the robot arm. This software then analyzes results and creates hypothesis to see the compatibility of this new product. This setup was created by Kebotix which is a self driving lab combined with AI to complete the new advanced chemicals without human interactions for a faster rate. The company believes that this machine can find new compounds to absorb the pollution of cities and the world.  The main purpose of this robot is to improve the way we design chemical compounds to an increasing rate. The way Kebotix works is that the company will feed the machine a molecular model of the chemicals into a neural network and with this algorithm new examples will appear that fit this model.  The machine will be self driven meaning it can take this remaining data and send it back to the pipeline, that will help it in the future to make better decisions. I have big hopes for any new technological improvement that is here to help the environment and society as a whole. Even though this seems a little off, I still believe there will be a way that this machine will solve the pollution problem even if its a little. Everything must start from somewhere and the Kebotix will help improve these new chemical compounds that can be used to absorb the pollution from the air.

Lab 7

Lab 7 was the most difficult labs their was to code. This lab involved designing and coding. The main part of the lab was to link our web pages to one where you just click lab1-lab7 without having to go back and forth. We first did this by duplicating our folders of lab1-lab6 and copying them into lab 7. This was because we needed the files to be copied into the lab 7 directory to ensure the links wouldn't change when we create our web page. Once all files are in we have to create a index.html in lab 7 because this was the homepage and how the website would read it as index.html. After this part we had to go back into Photoshop to design our images to click for each lab. After this is created we head back into Dreamweaver to start coding the index all together. We first start by putting our heading banner which we learned in the previous lab. Then we inserted all 6 lab images using the <img> tag. An example was: <img src="Images/lab1.png" alt="Lab1" cla...

Lab 8 Reflection

During this lab the main goal was to create flash talk movie about one of the topics that we researched about.  A flash talk movie is a brief speech or presentation, intended to grab the attention of the audience and convey key information in a quick, insightful, and clear manner. The point of this flash talk was to describe in 2 minutes  the importance of the Internet and the effects on people and society. The three main topics given to choose from were Net Neutrality, Internet Censorship, Advanced option: Protocol Vulnerabilities and/or hacks. The topic I chose to talk about in this video was Net Neutrality. Net Neutrality is “Net neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers treat all data on the Internet equally, and not discriminate or charge differently by user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or method of communication” (Wikipedia). This means that we as consumers of the Internet we are to surf freely among the web with...

" Minority and dissident communities face a perplexing challenge in countries with authoritarian governments. They need to remain anonymous to avoid persecution, but also must establish a trustworthy identity in their communications." Computer science and researchers traveled to three countries to help assess their challenges of maintaining a secure social media presence. They designed an app for android that would create a safeguard for the members for their anonymity and reliability of posts. The three countries were Mongolia, Zambia, and Turkey. These countries suffer from restricted speech, like Russia and China.  " The problem with anonymous communication is you don't know if it's credible," said Miriam Metzger.  This is where the app SecurePost comes into play because it allows the community to create secure groups on famous media, like Facebook, to maintain consistent presence on social media. The app allows total anonymity and flags any potential pos...
