I Change

I got bored with my old blog template when i visit my blog today. Recently, I loved what it look like but later on i realized that the color is so boring...I am not that artistic and I don't have time exploring the net for blog templates.

Well. I thought it is time for me to change the color of my blog template. I go for black... and change the rest components such as font style and color, etc. It looks nice to me then...

Change for another beginning... hmmmm, better do it before it too late...

What Lies Ahead?

Are you afraid of your future?

Am I afraid?

I am not Afraid.... not afraid of facing the future... Events will happen if it will really happen. All of the happenings that will come in the future are intended to come and yet is inevitable to happen. It will continue to happen because we choose it to happen in our lives.

Our technology in the future lies in our hands. It will be in high demand and will be in the stage of SUPERB in application and standards in structures. In the coming days, we are riding in jet shoes. Wow! we would be flying! Such a very high standard technology. Robots may appear in a more humanoid structure and figure with more human behavior. Cars may fly, building will rotate, farmiung can be in skycraper and payments could be done by scanning the barcodes tattoed to our wrist. Wow!

BUT could we live a life in a world like that? Can you imagine your self riding in a plane where your destination is the galaxy? I think I can igmagine that... huh?

What I am afraid in the technology to come is the evolution of humas and robot into one figure. Human brain with robotic body... uhmmm, possible to happen but frightening, I guess. The question is are we still unique in the future? In the present, we are losing our identity by pretending to be someone else on the other side of the virtual world of mobile phones. And besides I believe that technology evolves as war evolves... Technology are best invented for weaponry in the wars to come...

Technology contribution as an IT Professional

The Idea of Household Innovation

If I would think my self as an IT professional, first I should be worthy of the title and the situation I am in. If in that case I am, I would introduced of a technology that would make human life mush better but not to the extent that they would become worthless and useless in terms of doing their chores. The technology would be a garbage scanner and segregator. This technology will help the environment because of its eco-friendly goal and applications.

The technology will improve the human’s way of garbage disposal. With this, people can just throw garbage in the machine and the machine will take charge of the rest. I thought of this idea because of the fact that even I, myself, do not think of segregating my own garbage at home. And another is we, Filipino are throwing our garbage without caring if the ones we threw can be recycled to a new material for another purpose or can be turn into organic fertilizers that we could use to fertilize plants, crops and trees which could lessen our expenses in buying those costly commercial fertilizers which for sure is composed of chemicals and preservatives.

The technology I think about is just in our home. Located in our backyards It is intended for household waste management to lessen the hustle of disposing sack of garbage to those timely garbage trucks and workers. The technology will be like an ordinary cabinet in your household but with control buttons as an option of task. There will be a pair of stainless bucket inside, one for the biodegradable and the other for the non-biodegradable waste. A person will throw its garbage by putting it inside and then the machine will automatically respond. The machine will speak as a response like a robot does.

First, it will scan what kind of object is inside and will identify if that object could be recycled or trashed automatically. If the object can be organically recyclable, then it will be automatically crushed down into powder like entity before being thrown into a bucket intended for biodegradable in the lower part of the machine. When the thrown object cannot be recycled like plastic, then it will grinded into small pieces before being thrown into another bucket for non-biodegradable.

The idea of making human life better but not to the extent that they would become worthless and useless in terms of doing their chores is maintained in the technology because the house owner will still throw the entities inside the non-biodegradable buckets to the garbage collectors for recycling. The organic garbage will be used after being crushed as fertilizers to our gardens in the backyard. The technology will be a new household innovation and additional technology in the kitchen. It would be nice if we have that kind of innovation in our home but their will still a big BUT if the idea of doing such technology will come true.

Wish ko lang....

Another is a mobile phone that does have to charge its battery for energy restoration. Because I recognize that cellular phones and mobile phones battery are fast to deteriorate its preserve energy so it is really necessary to recharge the battery for how many hours., maybe one or two hours with the use of fast charging battery chargers. To resolve this situation, why not thought of a battery that is kinetically charge. Kinetically charge is the word because it will only be shake or swayed to simulate the energy and restore. Then you can use the mobile phone in a minute of shaking and swaying the battery with your hands. Hmmm, why not! It would only not lessen the usage of electricity and too much waste in energy but it would also motivate to your body to move and exercised through the shaking and swaying way. It could be, because sooner there would be a charger just like this idea. Just look for ZDNet.com and watch the new generation wireless charger. Try! Actually there are so many futuristic technology being invented nowadays but is not yet implemented for censorship and limitations of information. Censorship is applied!

I also though of this technology but I doubt it would be possible to implement in our world today. It would be transportation technology that would make our way of transporting form place to place in a fast and more convenient way. This is no flying car but we can fly. If you think of a jet pack, it is also a big NO. The idea is having a Jet shoes. Fantastic, is not it? Fantastic because we could fly to our destination without any more hustle in waiting for buses or jeepneys or trains for several minutes up to hours in a terminal or bus stop. With this technology, we only need to wear it in our feet, and then we FLY! This technology could also lessen the pollution in our air. Jeepneys and buses as we all know contribute air pollution because of the smoke that came out from them. But I think we cannot afford of such technology because of the fact that we have NO funding and the government have to intentions of supporting any research that would be useful not only in our country but in our lives. Just like the new technology present in Japan today. Water based engines for cars and buses. The idea come from a Filipino scientist and was also proven and tested. But it was neglected by the government when he proposed it to them. Instead, Japan bought his idea and now is implemented and in progress in their country. There are so many technologies we can think about in terms of being eco-friendly, energy-saving, fast-transport, waste managing, etc. the only problem with the implementation of these ideas in technology is the financial assistance and support from the higher authority or the government. We all know that the main purpose of proposing a technology is to help make our life better with no intentions of destroying our environment and our world. But we also know that what we could make could also be the one to destroy us. A reality that we should remind our self about.

Technology in our LIFE: Reasons and Influences

There are Reasons WHY We use technology:


Technology is always part of our households and is always connected with our life's necessities. For technology are invented to help us in terms of:
1. making our life easier
2. Entertainment
3. lessen heavy work loads
4. fasten our work / work accuracy
5. trend

The Influenced of technology in our LIFE:

Humans used technology since before time of Christ. Technology is a fast process which reflect the progress and development of inventions and engineering. Technology influenced us because it is part of our daily life and will always be part of it. technology influenced one's self in terms of: Character, lifestyle, social development, and its race. Technology is fast changing because of the global change also.

Technology change as our necessity for it change. It change because of the trends around it that it need to evolve from its current development to another development to cope with the trend humans are engaged into. But sometimes technology can be the one that could make us dependable to. Somehow, it make our chores easier and fast but because of that we became more dependable to them. Though technology is around us, we always depend to our self and the things that we can do with or without it in our hands.

We should take control of the technology around us and make sure that we can benefit from it. Not only us but specially our grandchildren in the coming generations. Let's make our world GREEN and at least CLEAN! :]


Assignment 1: November 28, 2008

How did we get here?

The reflection:

How do I get here? a question that i had difficult time to answer in deep confusion. Well, I get here in my present condition and situation because i chose to be here and accept all the things that happen to me in the first place.

After all the trials i Get into and all the trials that would come, I think of myself as a woman of little maturity in me. A mother and student at the same time, TIME management is really the big thing to manage about. School is a hassle that should be taken in schedule and home is a place where my time should be divided into my child, to his father and to the chores a mother should do.

I became a little unprofessional and quite in tardiness because of the unevitable things and situations that come in my way. It is really difficult for me to be a mother and student at time but I am really trying and doing my very best and effort to do the job without dropping either of them.

I hope i can do more and the best to both! May The One help me in everything...

Update in need

About my research

The gantt chart: my research time frame should now be strictly followed in terms of consultations and updates. and anything that happen on the progress of my research.

The Paper: my research in on the process of drafting the research instrument which is the survey questionnnaire. I have draft it but I am quite in doubt about its content. So I really and badly needed someone to help me in terms of suggestions and corrections about the content. And yet that someone is not yet found.

The Collaborators: Well, i am still searching for them. I have chosen an adviser but i haven't received any feedback form her since i send her my Request letter. I came to her table but my letter is unfounded. I think its was threw to garbage. then if that's the case, I have to look for another one, I think...
I dont have validators of my research instrument. I dont know who to approach to be my validator... i am in deep confusion right now... huhuhu

The other things: Well, Last Sat is our class reporting sked and we received a sermon from our professor... he has the right to do so, I think... WE prepared like turtles in the preparations for our class reporting. We were very sorry during that time... tsk! tsk!

The fellow researchers: I dont know their progress in their research but Good Luck to them and to all of us!

The Professor: He would be strictly considerate from now on so I should better watch out!

God bless us all!

Historicizing Cyberspace

What is Cyberspace?

All I know about cyberspace is a connection and collaboaration between humans and computers. This is a space of information humans have stored to share, connect and collaborate to other humans in a network... that is what i think.

But according on my reference,"Cyberspace is a term used to describe a new kind of "space" that has been made possible by the Internet.[1]" Yes, a space where people can be connected and gather information about something they wanted to look for. Possible connection made by the internet like what we used to see nowadays.

another is the term cyberspace gained notice after William Gibson's use of it in his science fiction novel Neuromancer (1984). "The portion of Neuromancer cited in this respect is usually the following:
Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts... A graphic representation of data abstracted from banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding".[2] The meaning is just a representation of data banked in a computer in the computer systems connected in network. That would be, i think...

THe History

The cyberspace history began in the Cold War days of Eisenhower adminmistration in the USA with the Russian. To respond to the technology launched by the Russian - Sputnik, US created Advanced Research Project Agency (ARPA) in 1958. the following are the person engaged to ARPA with the idea of making a connection between computer systems:
•J.C.R. Licklider – relationship between computers & humans
•Robert Taylor – idea of networking multiple computer systems

Taylor's idea was approved by the ARPA and sooner call for help with Larry Roberts – computer scientist (long distance computer networking) to make his idea possible. The latter came to ARPA in 1967, and ARPANet connection came together in 1969.

When the ARPANet is on air, one of biggest discoveries during the time was when Ray Tomlinson used @ symbol to delemit the domain name in an e-mail address. He was the first person to send E-mail. The major problem with ARPANet is in 1973, when it has encountered heavy internet traffic. Vinton Cerf & Bob Khan developed Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to face the problem.With this new transmission protocol, the Internet continued to grow until today.

Many have engaged to internet since then, even the white house. E-mail is one of the hottest applications use in the Neteven today. File attachment such as multimedia files can now be attached when making e-mails. the Mostly used E-mail applications are: MS Inbox, MS Outlook or MS Outlook Express and Netscape Mail or Netscape Messenger.

The Web is nothing but exciting! It can generates lots of money and when lots of money come - excitement then follows. Nowadays, the Web is even more convenient and user-friendly. there are emergence of web portals such as Yahoo!, Excite, Lycos, Infoseek, etc.

In the future, the internet could be converge to other applicaitons such as televisions, news, etc. like intercasting for example. Intercasting combines the interactive nature of the Web with television programming. Users can use the Internet to access information that complements a participating television program.

So, let us see what excitement the internet and the web could do for us in the future or as sooner as possible!
