A Quantum Leap - Computational Design
After encountering hunter age for several million years, the agricultural age for several thousand years, the Industrial Age for couple of centuries and the Information Age only for few decades, lately we're on the cusp of another subsequent era as a species, the Augmented age. In this new era, our innate human potential is ought to be augmented by computational designs that shall connects us to the world far beyond our natural senses.
Although our vision was vaporous during 1980 to 2000, in a period of deceptive growth - information age, we were abide by the Moore’s Law(1965) and ‘the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits had doubled every year since their invention.’ However,

So, now we can use a computer and algorithms to synthesize geometry to come up with new designs all by themselves. Conclusively, whose ‘beginning was the Command Line’ (Stephenson) shall end in commanding and inspiring. In near furture, these active devises shall inspire and guide the transformation of the human species on and off the earth. Soon, we shall start voyages to the Moon to Mars to Asteroids and become interplanetary species.
Next, our products shall have advanced nervous system like us! That understands and converse with us. A wheelchair or vehicle notifying potholes on the streets to the respective government department, a building notifying the architect whether people inside it are liking or disliking being there, a garment healing the tissues and pains of body, a headgear lessening anxiety.
Ancient wisdom for Modern Ignorance ‘... a concrete jungle destroys the human spirit.
We need the greenery of nature to lift our spirits.’ (Yew, 2015)
Our over excessive usage of technology has physically departed us from nature but a study of windowed and windowless offices by Heerwagen and Orians (1986) found that people in windowless spaces used twice as many nature elements (posters and photos especially) to decorate their office walls than those who had views to natural areas outdoors. This shows man’s inexplicable
First they have been powered by vacuum tubes and magnetic drums so they can store data and memory. Then times goes on and there’s no vacuum tube anymore. It was replaced by a transistor. Dr. Mark Dean has made a way to calculate billions within seconds. That was with a gigahertz chip. One gigahertz equals one billion cycles per second. He made a new system that allowed interior devices that can be plugged into a computer. The outcome at the end was more skilled and a better union. His work didn’t just stop there. His research helped changed the power of the personal computer. Dean has made such a great impact in this
Quantum Mechanics is the science of subatomic particles and their behavior patterns that are observed in nature. As the foundation of scientific knowledge approached the start of the twentieth century, problems began to arise over the fact that classic physical ideas were not capable of explaining the observed behavior of subatomic particles. In 1913, the Danish physicist Neils Bohr, proposed a successful quantum model of the atom that began the process of a more defined understanding of its subatomic particles. It was accepted in the early part of the twentieth century that light traveled as both waves and particles. The reason light appears to act as a wave and particle is because we are noticing the
Many people today rely on technology like it is indispensable. The pathetic desire for electronics has consumed how people think and how people live. Richard Louv writes to his generation of the increasing disconnection of humans from nature in his book, Last Child in the Woods. Louv takes a stand against the separation by including personal anecdote, rhetorical questions, and visual imagery.
Society today is greatly influenced by technology and the impact it has had within the past 20 years. One of the largest breakthroughs, though, is Artificial Intelligence (A.I.). The technology associated with A.I. has greatly developed in the past years, and is only making devices smarter. When someone mentions technology, or even the technological breakthroughs the world has gone through recently, many people go straight to smartphones and computers. A.I. is often overlooked, or put into a general category of "technology". Yet, artificial intelligence is something that should we not be so quick to dismiss, and should be something that gets people talking and even excited for what the future holds.
Quantum Research Labs have been hired by an independent party to determine the potential effects of a creatine monohydrate supplementation on male athletes. This study was funded by a third party undergoing change in their organizations strength training program. Quantum Research Labs have no self-interests in the supplementation industry.
Superdrol (Methyldrostanolone) is an anabolic androgenic steroid. It has bit of a unique history than other steroids. In 2005 in the United States, its production and sale was a massive success to many steroid producing companies but in 2006, due to tremendous FDA pressure, its sale was discontinued. Until mid 2012, its black marketing was prevalent. In the United States, it had become a necessary step to put it into under the controlled substance list again. It is a very powerful mass builder and a total body-transforming steroid. It is capable of binding with almost all anabolic steroids.
We as humans have an inherent affinity for nature and its natural systems and processes. Throughout much of human history, we have been immersed in nature and the outdoors as an integral part of our lives. However, with the rise of building knowledge over the centuries, we have sought increasing insulation from the outdoors. More recently, the prevalence of technology has led to ever-decreasing amounts of time spent outdoors with a sharp increase in the amount of time spent staring at a bright screen. As designers it is our unique challenge to reintegrate nature into peoples’ lives, whether that is achieved by windows that are strategically placed to connect a viewer with the outdoors during various activities, or through thoughtful landscaping
The title of the recent lecture that I went to was “Hacktorial Tonight: Quantum Computing” and was given by Sean Bae, an undergraduate student at the University of Maryland. I was interested in this talk for variety of reasons, but the major ones were that I was interested in learning about branches of science outside of my focus in the life sciences and that quantum computing has undoubtedly become a hot topic in the advancement of technology. At this event, I was stunned with the amount of knowledge and theoretical analysis that Sean presented. He discussed Schrodinger’s cat and the principles of how something could exists in two states at one time. He then related this to quantum particles called qubits and how they exist in
The Physicists is a satiric play written by the Swiss author Friedrich Dürrenmatt about three physicists who are living in the private sanatorium " Les Cerisiers " headed by the last living member of an old regional aristocratic family, Miss Dr. h.c. Dr. med. Mathilde Von Zahnd. The first one thinks he is Sir Isaac Newton, but he is in reality Herbert Georg Beutler, the second one thinks he is Albert Einstein and his real name is Ernst Heinrich Ernesti. The third physicist, Johann Wilhelm Möbius is different, he has got no second identity but he is in this sanatorium because King Solomon speaks to him.
The further development of artificial intelligence and other cybernetic technologies are highly beneficial to the global society due to the constant movement
They also want to continue as the leader in transistor density. This implies the continued importance of process technology skills associated with "line width reduction".
today, the major component of that progress has been either increasing the number of chips on
Great Leap Forward was a movement during China’s second Five-Year Plan led by Communist Party of China from 1958 to 1960, in order to improve the current situation of poverty and backwardness in China at that time. Although it started with a good intention, the result of the Great Leap Forward was disappointing. It was totally a mistake made by Mao during the exploration of socialist that it brought a disaster to the Chinese economy and people’s standards of living.
The purpose of spending a day without technology is to detoxify ourselves from the continuous barrage of information. Just as Mark Bittman mentions in his article, “I felt connected to myself rather than my computer. I had time to think, and distance from normal demands.”(4) We are so accustomed to rely on technology that we seem to forget what would become of us without it. Internet, radio, television, cell phones, video games and other technological amenities are part of our daily life, in a way that sometimes we can not see reality outside a screen. We have shelved conversations face to face, the pleasure of enjoying the birds sing or simply appreciate nature around us. Professor David Levy declares, “Living a good life requires a kind of balance, a bit of quiet. There are questions about the limits of the brain and the body, and there are parallels here to the environmental movement.”(2) Talking about the environment, not only helps us to live without the use of technology for one day but it helps the environment as well. A great way to save money and take care of the environment is to decide to give up the technology just for one day. We need to take care of our soul or inner self or however we want to call it, not for vanity but sanity.
Nowadays, computers have incredible hardware futures, enabling problems to be resolved faster than before. According to Moore’s Law, the simplified version of this law states that processor speeds or overall processing power for computers will double every two years.
