Electronics

The invention of the microprocessor in 1971 was a huge milestone that eventually changed everyone's everyday lives. This invention enabled the world to own a personal computer in their home as well as their office. People were able to work more efficiently and progressively with these new electronic devices. Electronics today provides the world with an infinite amount of information at a much faster speed than that information would ever have been available before. The American public is dependent on the usage of many electronics in their lives such as the television, audio receivers, and amplifiers to stay updated on world-wide issues. Electronics also provide a superior tool for progression in the business world today. Business people rely on electronics to communicate with each other faster and to store and quickly organize vast amounts of essential data.
Electronics are improving at a blindingly fast rate. The newest technology from five years ago is literally obsolete today. Electronics are also being used for new purposes continuously. The Internet, or World Wide Web, is a relatively new concept of being “on-line”. This new project has opened a limitless number of doors for our society. Now anyone can use the Internet to communicate with anybody else in the world a lot faster and cheaper. Cellular phones have also appeared recently in the electronic world. These devices allow a person to be reached from practically anywhere. With cellular phones a person can, from then on, be in communication with the world no matter where they go.
For the next generation, electronics will certainly offer new yet simpler technology available to the general public. Home addresses and phone numbers will be replaced with Internet addresses. Business people will be able to have access to tools such as video conferencing and such in their homes. The workplace will ultimately become obsolete. Transportation vehicles will be dominated by electric cars as natural gas supplies decline around the globe.
New procedures for creating power will be found and utilized. The current and upcoming advances in technology will create a steady rise of the progression of the everyday living experience.
I plan to enroll in a very prestigious university after high school and major in electrical engineering. I plan to contribute my time during my studies toward new possible designs of electronics and technology. I realize that innovative minds are the backbone of the direction technology will take and,

  • The Craftiness of Athena

    527 Words  | 2 Pages

    Athena, the Greek goddess of both wisdom and war, is often considered the craftiest of all Olympian gods. She was born of a headache, and erupted from Zeus’ head fully armed and ready for battle. However, beside all this pomp, she is a rather caring, if war-loving, immortal. Throughout the entirety of The Odyssey she conveys an entirely platonic, almost motherly love for Odysseus. It is this that makes her significant character in Homer’s work. In The Odyssey, Athena is portrayed as a, if not the, major female figure throughout the entire epic poem. With her affection for Odysseus and her frequent appearances she plays a major role throughout the entire poem. Evidence of this integral role will be presented as proof of her importance to the story.

  • Character Transformation in Literary Translations

    / Both parties later swore to terms of peace / set by their arbiter, Athena, daughter / of Zeus who bears the stormcloud as a shield- / though still she kept the form and voice of Mentor” (Fitzgerald 426). Fitzgerald’s ending to The Odyssey uses syntax to place emphasis on Athena and her position as mentor to Odysseus. This difference creates a striking difference in ideation as to Athena’s role in Odysseus’s adventure, and to what kind of goddess she is. If she truly was a protector, why did she allow Odysseus and his crew to struggle through so many obstacles just to return home? Fitzgerald creates a more judicious idea, that as a mentor Athena allowed Odysseus to struggle in order to teach him and to make his homecoming all the sweeter. Through either interpretation, it is clear that this choice of syntax can greatly sway the importance of Athena’s role in The Odyssey and how events unfolded. “Subtle Odysseus answered her: ‘Queen, it is hard to tell such things after a parting so long ago. It is some twenty years since he left my palace and departed from my country. Nevertheless, I will tell you how my remembrance paints him…” (Shewring

    In the very beginning, Athena begins meddling in the life of Telemakhos, Odysseus’ son: “With this Athena left him as a bird rustles upward off and gone. But as she went she put a new spirit in him, a new dream of his father, clearer now, so that he marveled to himself divining that a god had been his guest” (I. 368-373). Since the beginning, Athena masters a plan to bring Telemakhos and Odysseus back together. Athena visits Telemakhos in a disguise of Mentes, Odysseus’ friend. During this part of the plot, Athena began her plan when she gave Telemakhos hope his father was alive and the desire to go look for him. Athena plays a huge role in The Odyssey as the god who interferes the most: “If grey-eyed Athena loved you the way she did Odysseus in the old days in Troy country, where we all went through so much-never before have I seen the gods help any man as openly as Athena did your father” (III. 235-239). When Lord Nestor proclaims these words to Telemakhos, Athena’s contest divine intervention is verified. After Telemakhos and Odysseus complete their journeys, Athena meddles in final days of the suitors. Athena disguises Odysseus as a poor beggar. Odysseus the beggar confronts the suitors who then mock and torment Odysseus. A real beggar soon arrives and the two beggars are challenged to a fight. However, when Odysseus appears weak, Athena steps in: “Athena stood nearby to give him hulk and power, while the young suitors watched with narrow eyes” (XVIII. 83-85). Before the fight, Athena made Odysseus look very strong in front of all the suitors and the beggar causing them to fear the beggar Odysseus. Athena would not stop meddling in the lives of the suitors and Odysseus. Athena has a goal to get the suitors to fight Odysseus and Telemakhos, but Odysseus was not getting enraged enough: “They, for their part, could not now be still or drop their mockery-for Athena wished

    When Odysseus lands on the island Scheria, and startles Nausicaa, “Athena planted courage within her heart, dissolved the trembling in her limbs (pg 172, 153-154)”, and then to Odysseus, “Athena made him taller to all eyes, his build more massive now, and down from his brow she ran his curls like hyacinth clusters full of blooms…so she lavished splendor over his head and shoulders now (pg. 175, 252-260).” Athena makes Odysseus more attractive and more trustworthy, but does not control how he acts or speaks, she merely guides him along in an almost maternal fashion, watching over him and helping here and there.

    In our media-driven culture, our views of what women and men should look like are shaped by these unreal images. Older men and women, or people with disabilities, or disfigurements are rarely if ever depicted in these types of publications” (Ballaro 1) Ballaro is saying that what people or dehumanizing themselves for are pretty much fake, plastic surgery airbrush and can not forget the contouring the artist are doing before the flash. Everything is so unreal and natural people are more of the realistic type of humans out there. For example Kim Kardashian has fake everything, the camera and new technology enhances her beauty plus million-dollar plastic surgery done to here. The reader feels as that if she needs to look like to be loved and cherished and spoiled, so she goes back to beating herself up.

  • Human Trafficking: A Global Problem

    1027 Words  | 3 Pages

    Human Trafficking is a global problem that affects the lives of millions of people in almost every country in the world, and which deprives them of their human dignity. As one of the most infamous crimes in the world, human trafficking is misleading and makes victims in women, men and children from all corners of the world every day and causes them to be exploited. Although the best-known form of human trafficking is sexual exploitation, hundreds of thousands of victims are also trafficked for the purposes of forced labor, forced labor as domestic servants, child begging and organ removal (Shelley, 2010).

  • Reflection: Comparing Ethics And Conflict Resolution

    1004 Words  | 3 Pages

    Lewis (2001) in Mere Christianity pertaining to the Laws of Human Nature. The natural law theory contends, “…that morality somehow is embodied in nature and that there are “natural laws” that human beings must adhere to if they are to be moral (Thiroux & Krasemann, 2012, p. 12). Lewis suggests, that “Something” which directs the all elements in the universe also guides, laws within mankind, urging good actions, and causing discomfort when engaged in immoral behavior. Lewis (2001) differentiates between the archetypal behavior observed in humans, and the behavior that humans ought to employ, stating “the moral law is about what we ought to do.” As evidenced by the timeline of ethical thought, and as presented in the artifact, concepts of morality and immorality change over time, in adherences to cultural standards, beliefs and political regimes. Immorality is ubiquitous, inescapable and reoccurring; and aspirations of good or decent behavior often parallel the occurrence perceived

I waited a long time to buy a brand new computer. I had to work more hours and saved money to buy a computer. I did not want to buy a cheap computer, but I wanted to buy a professional one. Was I professional on computer? No! I was not. I did not even know how to type, but I was sure that my expensive com puter could make me a computer expert. 17 inches monitor, color printer, two speakers and well-designed fancy keyboard made me just happy by looking at them on my desk.
