The goal is to detect earthquakes earlier than most programming in the hopes to warn a broader audience before the event actually happens. This is such a great advancement for areas that have frequent earthquakes. With this advancement, we could decrease the fatalities due to lack of awareness of earthquakes. ]]> 2021-02-16 15:05:22 UTC https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1207250826 pucetastl https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1207322377 This article discusses Minecraft and it's advancements on creative thinking and planning. Most children have been exposed to this unique program that allows them to build artificial intelligence. The goal is to create cities in unseen locations. The technology I use daily is a smartphone and a laptop. Especially having school online, these tools have helped me to continue learning remotely. I can communicate with others through zoom and email, I can collaborate through google classroom, I can create videos to present information, etc. The list could go on and on. The first thing that comes to mind when referring to the use of technology in a different way than it was intended is QR codes. It wasn't a personal experience, but I have noticed restaurants using Qr codes to access their menu, rather than handing out physical copies. This not only limits the spread of covid-19, but also cuts down on paper usage! ]]> 2021-02-16 15:20:39 UTC https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1207322377 pucetastl https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1207370302 I loved how these students came together using their own technology to spread some joy in light of covid. I imagine some students used their smartphone camera, maybe flipgrid, snapchat, imovie, or even voice memos. I would say I use all of these quite frequently! I actually made some artwork last week on a program called procreate, which allows you to draw with a variety of brushes, colors, and mediums! I also used imovie over the weekend to compile photos I took on a trip to Asheville. It's incredible that most of these programs are at our fingertips, and I couldn't imagine not having them. I think everyone should have access to these technologies so they can also create solutions and connect with others.]]> 2021-02-16 15:30:33 UTC https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1207370302 pucetastl https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1207395753 This tool is aiming to flag the biases in artificial intelligence systems. I think "open source" means that it does not have restrictions. Anyone can access the tool and correct the issues it bring to the surface. I think researchers would make this tool to ensure equity and inclusion. For example, one mentioned was a potential gender bias. The program revealed that males were always  represented as playing an instrument, while females were just in that area. These are important to note so that we can make an effort to include everyone and promote diversity.]]> 2021-02-16 15:36:11 UTC https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1207395753 santors https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1208740528 This article discusses how Google is using Android phones for earthquake sensors for residents in earthquake prone parts of the world. The problem that google is trying to solve is reducing the amount of time someone can find out if there is an earthquake occurring so they can go into safety. What google is doing is really important because the quicker someone can find out that an earthquake is occurring, the more time they have to hide or get to safety so they do not get injured or killed. Another way that computer science and technology can/does help detect problems is with other natural disasters such as hurricanes, wildfires, tornados, snow storms, etc. The National Weather Service is a great example of this because they are the people in charge of sending out weather alerts before the storm has any significant impact (such as tornado watches and warnings) and this keeps many people safe and saves many lives. ]]> 2021-02-16 20:56:23 UTC https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1208740528 santors https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1208798336 The technology that this article discusses is how AI planners in Minecraft help machines design better cities. The main challenge that the participants had was that the competition was so open ended, they needed to master multiple objectives to please all of the judges that came from different types of backgrounds (architects, archaeologists, and game designers). The technology I use on a daily basis would probably be Youtube. Youtube helps me by keeping me occupied, gives me endless entertainment and helps me find cool new videos that may interest me. The problems and challenges that Youtube helps me solve is whenever I am stuck on school work or just stressed out by school work I just go to Youtube to watch a video I haven't previously watched and then come back to the work afterwards. A time I used technology in a way it was not necessarily intended was when I used my phone to find my airpods. Usually phones are for texting, calling, and going on social media but when I lost my airpods I used my phone's tracking app to find my airpods.]]> 2021-02-16 21:17:14 UTC https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1208798336 santors https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1208863997 Some technologies that these students may have used that enabled them to sing at home due to COVID-19 would be their smart phones or tablets. Apps they could've used would be I-Movie, Splice, their phone camera, Zoom, Flipgrid, etc. I use a couple of these apps for school work and for coaching. The apps I recently used are Zoom and Flipgrid and I use these apps every other day to go to class and give a reflection/discussion on a topic in my class. I use Splice not that often but I mainly use it for creating video projects for a class or creating videos of my cross country and track teams. I have actually used technology recently to make a video project. In my Kinesiology class we had to video ourselves performing and describing different types of movements from around the body and I used my phone's camera and the Splice app to create a video of me performing and describing the movements. If I didn't have access to these technologies I feel like I would be fine without it because these technologies cause a lot of stress and anxiety for me and removing them would make me more confident in myself and in how I look. Depending on the type of technology being used I feel like many people should not have access to this type of technology. Like I said in my last point, video chatting, video editing, video projects all can cause a lot of stress and anxiety in people because they may not think they look good compared to someone else, or just struggle with public speaking in general. Like whenever I make a flipgrid I have to do it like 5-6 times because I get so nervous on how I look or how I speak and get nervous that I might say something wrong.     ]]> 2021-02-16 21:43:45 UTC https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1208863997 santors https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1208941858 The tool that the article talks about helps clear biases from computer vision. The problem that it is trying to solve is AI systems creating bias that can influence things such as credit services and courtroom sentencing programs. I think open-source means that it is an available "source" or tool that others can use. The researchers made this tool because they wanted to automatically uncover any type of bias that could be found in visual data-sets. An example of bias in image sets would be males appearing with flowers in ceremonies or meetings while women appeared with flowers in staged photos and paintings. It is really important to be able to identify these biases because these biases can hurt someone and make people think differently about something. This relates to equity and inclusion because these biases can lead to sexism or "toxic masculinity" and if we can fix and eliminate these types of biases it could lead to more inclusion in different things such as sports, and hobbies and it could also lead to equity in everyday life. ]]> 2021-02-16 22:19:27 UTC https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1208941858 bakerhj https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1209049223 This article discusses how Google is turning smart phones into mini seismographs to detect earthquakes. Google is attempting to bring earthquake alerts to more places that might not have  had the ability to be alerted in the past. It is important because more people will be able to receive alerts for earthquakes and hopefully casualties will decrease. Computer science and technology have helped us track COVID cases this past year, so we can use that technology to help track the rate of transmission in certain areas which will let us know where it is unsafe to travel. ]]> 2021-02-16 23:18:27 UTC https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1209049223 bakerhj https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1209102611 This article is based on a competition between AI producers that can create the best settlements in Minecraft in order to new ways to perform urban planing.

I use all of these technologies and most of them on a daily basis as well. I recently used a note taking app on my iPad to create a graph for a class I am taking and to take notes. I also use this technology to communicate with friends and family. If I did not have access to these technologies then I would not be as social as I am now. I feel as if everyone could benefit from having these technologies, as long as they do not let it consume their lives. ]]> 2021-02-17 00:01:13 UTC https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1209113612 bakerhj https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1209131942 This tool removes biases from computer vision and helps solve the problem of biases that have moved into AI systems that influence everything. The article states that an open-source automatically uncovers potential biases in visual data sets. Researchers would use this tool in order to weave out potential biases. Some examples of biased based images mentioned in the article were stereotypical images that were in groups of images gathered from online sources that were developed by engineers. It is important to identify biases because they can unintentionally influence computer vision and to insure sources and results are reliable and inclusive. ]]> 2021-02-17 00:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1209131942 chamberlaincl https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1213671111 This article shares a lot of different technologies from Zoom to smartphones to Minecraft. Google is specifically trying to improve the prediction of earthquakes using smartphones so that people will have more notice in order to prepare. This is revolutionary in preventing the casualties from natural disasters and allowing more people to take action and get to safety. Computer science and technology have been instrumental in detecting COVID and other diseases such as Alzheimers. These technologies are also introducing students and children to new ways of learning and feeling empathy, which is an essential skill to societal progress.]]> 2021-02-18 03:32:22 UTC https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1213671111 chamberlaincl https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1213688593 Some of the technologies in this articles such as AI, Minecraft, and smartphone softwares are aiming to solve many real-world problems, especially as defined by the SDGs. From disease diagnosis and treatments to city planning to climate change, these technologies are making problem solving more accessible to everyone, especially students and children. I am constantly reliant on technology throughout my day. I use it for directions, communication, shopping, reviews, and so much more. Any time I have a question, I can get an answer almost instantaneously on my smart phone. I think that a great example of technology bring used for something greater than its intentions was the release of PokemonGo and how a whole generation became active in going outdoors and fostered a greater sense of community.]]> 2021-02-18 03:44:29 UTC https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1213688593 chamberlaincl https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1213697087 These students probably used computers and smartphones and devices to communicate through some form of messaging service and later using audio and video recorders for their song recordings. I am always using FaceTime and messaging systems to communicate with friends and family. If they used any synchronous options, I use Zoom almost daily for classes now. I use technology to create marketing materials for my jobs and to curate my social media feeds. I also use Kindle for reading occasionally so I can have a ton of books available at once. Without these technologies, everything would take a lot more time which has its pros and cons.I think that all of these technologies should be available to everyone in an ideal world, so that they may have the option of how and when to use them.]]> 2021-02-18 03:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1213697087 chamberlaincl https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1213706517 This tool is used to identify bias in AI which people can work to address and fix in the computer space. Open-source means that it is available to the general public for use. Clearly, people have identified bias in AI usage, and when people with biases create these codes, the biases can transfer over to the computers. An example from the article is the gender bias in settings, whereas women are typically in the home-sphere and men in the workplace. An example that I thought of is the racial bias on Twitter. When multiple images are posted, in the smaller window it will always (from what I've seen) focus on the person with the lighter skin. These biases need to be recognized in order to be fixed for more equal and equitable representation and access to online spaces.]]> 2021-02-18 03:55:36 UTC https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1213706517 https://padlet.com/negreirosm1/kswcpy3xl862y9i5/wish/1217639837 This article discusses how google is utilizing smartphones as mini seismographs to alert others of earthquakes. With this technology, Google is trying to prevent the number of injuries and accidents that happen due to earthquakes. Other ways that technology and CS could detect problems are possibly creating built apps that detect and closely monitor hurricane, tornados, floods, etc. Technology has also been instrumental when it comes to Amber Alerts.

It is easy to scroll on youtube and find interesting videos in bed to watch and before you know it, I have gained all this knowledge that I can propose with to my family and friends.

It's also crazy that the phone itself can detect whether it's a rumble from thunder, or if the phone has just been dropped. Computer Science can also aid in detecting Amber Alerts, sending individual messages to cellphones. It also aides in a quick call to 911.

Competitors were tasked with building a whole city in the Minecraft world using AI. They had to come up with the perfect algorithms that would create unique, well rounded, sturdy, realistic settlements while not overlooking small details and certain differences in land that could potentially cause disruptions for the AI. This is really fascinating because AI is already being used to document how cities are made and built in order to, in the future, alter those cities in a way that makes them safer, more sustainable, and resourceful. The technology I use on a daily basis allows me to check the weather, get directions to places, order items with express shipping, communicate with others, and many many other things. There was this one time when I got in a car accident and from the impact my body immediately went into shock. My arms and legs were completely numb and I couldn't move. The only way I was able to call somebody for help was through Siri. All I had to say was "Hey Siri, call 911 on speaker."

Personally, I use Zoom a lot for classes. I have used TikTok to watch and make videos. I do like to sing as well and have used the recording app on my iPhone. There's an app called Bandlab that allows people to mix their own beats and music scores. I use technology for entertainment and communicate and stay connected with people. I know that I would probably be fine without a phone but it would certainly be difficult getting to places I've never been before and staying connected with my family who is 3 hours away. I would want everyone to have the chance to experience technology because the way it connects us to the world and each other is incredible.

Some of these technologies have formed biases or stereotypes for certain types or groups of people leading to underrepresentation. I'm thinking that "open-source" means that the creators and users can detect and change problems dealing with underrepresentation, but I am not sure. If this is the reason, I would guess that they made the tool this way in order to decrease their own biases and stereotypes even more and essentially have "all hands on deck." Some examples they mention in the article is for instance, the AI gathered that men were usually associated with flowers when it had to do with a ceremony or meetings and for women, they were mostly associated with staged settings or paintings. I could imagine possibly AI grouping certain people in with certain geographical areas on a worldwide scale but also a bit more locally and contained. Equity is ensuring that everyone is given an equal amount and quality of opportunities, resources, or means to be successful based on their personal needs and interests. Everyone is different, not everyone can necessarily be treated "equally."
