Software Engineering And Inventions Of The 20th Century

Today's advancements in technology are leading to a supposed better life and more enjoyable future but, these advancements could pose a problem to humans. The use of artificial intelligence is ubiquitous and refined as it advances by scientists and engineers everyday. With man’s thirst for advancement and technological exploration they ignore the consequences for their actions. In Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, she views technology as monstrous when a creator loses control of his creation. With Artificial intelligence advancing at a rapid pace, society had begun to lose control on technology and its sole purpose; to make life easier by computing and solving problems for humans. Sooner or later, man’s creation will far exceed human comprehension

Reagan then reassured that the space program would continue to operate and “what happened today does nothing to diminish it”. This message sought to protect the ongoing space programs and was dedicated to the last sub-audience of his speech: the NASA people. He acknowledged their hard work and expressed sympathy for their loss of friends and coworkers.

"Give me a challenge and I'll meet it with joy.” Ronald Reagan described the five astronauts and two payload specialists who died in the Challenger explosion, about six hours after the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded 73 seconds into its launch. Ronald Reagan’s Address to the Nation would be broadcasted on television and radio nationwide. In this speech, Reagan tells us that this is a day to remember and mourn the loss of the brave challenger crew. Reagan argues that we are pioneers on space travel, and while this is a tragic loss, we must continue to expand our knowledge of space and keep exploring the “Final Frontier.”

Well known president, Ronald Reagan, in his address to the nation, “Explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger,” expresses grief for the explosion of the Challenger. Reagan’s purpose is to commemorate the seven men and women, who lost their lives and offer hope to those who will continue to explore space. He creates a sad, yet hopeful tone in order to convey to America, we all mourn the loss of the Challenger Seven, but our space program will continue.

something to the schoolchildren of America who were watching the live coverage of the shuttle’s take-off. I know it’s hard to understand, but sometimes painful things like this happen. It’s all part of the process of exploration and discovery. It’s all part of taking a chance and expanding man’s horizons… I’ve always had great faith in and respect for our space program. And what happened today does nothing to diminish it. We don’t hide our space program… There will be more shuttle flights and more shuttle crews and, yes, more volunteers, more civilians, more teachers in space. Nothing ends here; our hopes and our journeys continue.”

Throughout the 21st and 22nd century, technology was an integral part of humanity’s functioning as a species. It had guided us, shaped us, and created pathways for us in life that would’ve otherwise ceased to exist. The newest innovations are touted as the “latest and greatest” but as we innovated, we also became increasingly interdependent; we intertwined our lives with our tech, and became more reliant on it in the process. When humanity had fully automated their lives, the very electronics that supported their day-to-day routines also posed a hidden risk. In the right possession it was a wonderful tool, but when it fell into the wrong hands it was easily manipulated into a deadly weapon.

On the cold morning of January 28, 1986, when the temperature hung ten degrees below freezing with the excessive wind chill, The Challenger was set to launch from Cape Canaveral Florida. On board, seven crew members, including the first civilian set to go to space, teacher Christa McAuliffe, awaited the final order to launch. As thousands of children watched on television, the shuttle left the platform, and seconds later, erupted into a plume of smoke, killing all on board. Even though the explosion of The Challenger was a tragedy for America’s space program, the disaster taught NASA many new lessons, a promised a bright future for space exploration,and reinforced the importance of science and math in school.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration also known as (NASA), was created in the year 1958. It is the leading co-operation in the scientific research, science technology, and the public’s interest in the aerospace technology. Also, since space exploration, it has taught people how to view the world, ourselves as human beings, and the universe in a new and more theoretical way. With that being said, Discovery has been one of the most phenomenal and successful Space Shuttles, after the most tragic and disastrous outcomes of the Space Shuttles Columbia, and Challenger. As I continue in my paper, I will discuss three landmarks events that I found intriguing to me and will later elaborate on the research that I have found about each specific

On July 16, 1969, people from all around the country were glued to their televisions, anticipating the launch of Apollo 11. Many Americans were mesmerized by the rocket as it lifted from the ground and slipped the surly bonds of earth. The launch had been a success. It allowed the United States to dominate the space race and provided a push to explore the final frontier, space. Americans all across the country look roundly at this momentous success.

Nowadays, computers are emerging rapidly than never before in human history. Everywhere you go, either stores, malls or even your homes is filled with all kinds of electronics. We have come to a stage whereby everything we do or placed our hands on must be computers. We don’t even need to ask our parents questions anymore, all our answers or solutions including problems are all in the internet. According to Theodore Roszak in “Shakespeare Never Lost a Manuscript to a Computer Crash,” argues that “the computer contributes nothing essential to the life of the mind.” I strongly agree! We are created to use our minds to solve problems and think critically. Although computer usage might be a benefit to the majority of the new generation, the fact is that computers can do harm to the society such as lack of memory and isolation.

Lastly, Laura shared the historical event that she remembers vividly, the 1986, space shuttle challenger. It was part of a program called TISP (Teacher in Space Project), started by President Ronald Reagan; schools were interested and made their students watch the launch live on tv. It was meant to inspire and help children in math and science programs. The shuttle was taking off from the Kennedy Space Center, in Florida, about 11:40 a.m. on January 28. As Laura states: “We all did the countdown, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Blast off!” When the rocket went up in the air, she says, “We all sat there watching the tv amazed that the rocket was taking off with a high school social studies teacher on board”. “While the radio tower was saying that all was good”, Laura narrates, “the shuttle split in half with an explosion. The radio tower reported a major malfunction, where all the crew was

Year by year, day by day, and minute by minute, machines are expanding. They have grown so much that this day in age, everyone is technology-dependent. The simplest tasks have become broken in our minds and we almost always use technology as our crutch. Both scientists and the average person have played a part in making technology what it is today. Whether it's an astronaut using a robot arm in outer space or your neighbor, using their GPS to find their way to work, nearly everyone on Earth uses some form of computer operator daily. There is no telling how much technology has grown in the past century, and the possibilities for its expansion in the next century are indefinite. An extensive number of worrisome people ponder if the human

I have many goals in mind for my life. I want to graduate university, possibly go to graduate school, and obtain a career in which I am happy and satisfied. Yes, I know this sounds very cliché as many people want to obtain this kind of life. I don’t mind obtaining a “normal” happy life as long as I am happy with it. I am familiar with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and I want to make sure I fulfill my lower needs before I start trying to achieve my goals. I have never actually applied the GIOADA process to my decision making in the past. After reading the document that describes the GIOADA process, I will start applying this process to future decisions I make in life. Also, as I look back at some of the big decisions I made

Playing games on my father's computer as a child fascinated me in the way the computer works, how fast it develops, and now how the computer helps the world to communicate. It still amazes me in how fast computers change and how communication across the globe is enhanced with the computer. Computers have drastically changed how society lives and does business. Even small businesses can do global sales without leaving their location. With new strategies for business, comes cyber threats of identity theft and theft of intellectual property that brings information technology security and new laws into play. It is becoming a fast and ever challenging world. Computer science enables the ability to program software for protection against these kinds of threats and vulnerabilities. It also enables the ability to program artificial intelligence into the computer system software to enable society to meet their needs in more appropriate ways.

From the original steam turbine to the evolution of the smartphone, modern day technologies have brought an incredible sense of ease into our lives, making actions that were once considered unfathomable, suddenly very attainable and effortless. While the majority of technologies have brought positive effects to our lives, some technologies have subsequently led humankind to be at a position to threaten their own existence and maybe even the
