Our Project Update - Past Technology

Universal Wireless Charger

That is the title of our project in Future technology subject. We were supposed to present and display our diorama to the public last December 8, 2008 but unfortunately because of inevitable events we hadn't anticipate, the display was moved to another date which is on January 6, 2009. So, to all the people who we wanted to witness our arts and knowledge regarding the subject matter, here is our diorama presented to you:



So, This how the past technology of universal wireless charger would looked like...
This an unfinished product yet but we (the GROUP) would really try our very best to finished it before January 6, 2009.

Good Luck to US!

The Events that Influenced the Innovation in Technology

Relation of events in society to the innovation in technology:

Innovations in technology are provided due to the necessity of the society about something which could help them make the life better. Technology of today has the aim to help preserved the environment and with the motivation to lessen the harm the technology could contribute to the rising destruction it can give to the environment. Global warming as what I have known was the result of the too much exploitation in technology.

Since before, technology as we cannot deny it, is the major contribution of pollution and/or the major pollutant maker in earth’s atmosphere. In space technology, the space shuttle is one of the world’s innovations in technology when the human race begins to explore the galaxy and the world beyond the outer space. It all begun when humans get curious on what kind of place is beyond the stars and what the stars, what kind of matter does the moon have and can the human race survive to live there, and what the other planets looked like when the Apollo 11 spacecraft successfully launched and landed on the moon. The discoveries on the moon motivate the scientists to explore more on the outer space and yet send other modern spacecraft to do missions of discoveries in space. With these space technologies, we had picture out the galaxy and the Milky Way. But did you know that when these spacecraft technology leave the space of the earth left millions of dust when launched to their mission? Yes, launching the spacecraft or space shuttle can cause air pollution and harm millions of people around the globe. So, recognize why the craft is being launch in an isolated dusty area. Just think of it being lunch in a city or near the city. Picture it out in your mind and you will find the answer.

Another event in the society that as one of the bases in innovation in technology is war, as it is always. I say so because it is what reality propel. Since the World War 1, technology innovates from the other to another more modern and high-tech. As what we have learned, Internet was invented in the time of war between the Soviet and United States. From then on, rise of new technology increases and the innovation goes on and on until the present time. War is the major contributor to the innovation of technology from then. Developed countries around the world continued to grow because of the technology they had invented such as Europe, United States, Japan, etc. Just like what I have watched in the ZDnet.com. The organization is under invention of new technology to make the life of the battery of a radio the military used in wars. The technology I am talking about was introduced during the presentation of our group in our Future Technology subject. The innovation in the technology is that, to be able to make the energy of the battery restored, it will only be placed in a charger and shake for a minute of time. After such short time of charging, the battery has gained its energy back and is ready to be use again to its purpose.

Weaponry technology innovation is the fastest of all innovations in technology. I think so because this innovation is for the preparation of incoming World War three? Actually, there is a possibility of such prediction because China and North Korea, as what I have heard in the news, displays the new innovation of their weaponry in parades not only for publicity and to aware the society also. Not only had the two mentioned countries are dynamic in technology innovation. Japan is one of the major distributors of high-tech gadget all over the world. And as we all know since the World War one, Japan is already in innovation of their technology and adhere to the fast modernization of the other countries like United States and Europe. Because of there main distribution in digital technology gadgets like Nintendo, Humanoid Robots and virtual receptionist, Japan is a country that is really fully developed in technology. In our country, the only innovation in weaponry that I had heard was about the automated police dog of the Philippine National Police in Quezon City. Though the technology is not totally high tech in physical attributes, but it has the capability and ability to do its purpose such as looking for bombs. I heard that it is the technology used in the investigation in Glorietta Mall but was not really sure if that was really true.

Well, I really think that the purpose of innovation in technology is just to make the work faster and more efficient. The Election technology in the United States is another innovation. Since the country is composed of fifty-one states, it is very slow and intimidating to make the people vote in old fashion way and/or ‘ancient’ procedure of election like our country is still on application. Instead, they had decided to conceive an electronic voting system where it is easy and does not take time to vote. Yet the result will automatically reflect after each vote from the voters. I was glad when I heard that the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao area had introduced an electronic election system intended only for their region boundaries. I thought it was the same as the United States has but I was quite disappointed when a hard copy of voting result came out from the system. I was mistaken when I conclude that once the voter votes, the result will reflect to the total votes of the running politician’s count. Well, the expectation I had in mind was not applied because of some factors I had to anticipate. Maybe lack of fund is one. Our country does not have the innovation in election technology and is still using the ‘ancient’ and inefficient voting system application.

I have observed also that because of the worse result of global warming to the environment, technology now a day is innovated not only to make efficient and accurate works but also to minimize the side effect of technology to the environment and not worsen the present status of global warming to the world. In short, technologies are now eco-friendly in terms of its purpose and its goal. I think the quote that says, ‘what something has brought will be its downfall’ will be realize. Because of human’s eagerness to make life better with the innovation in technology, it resulted to too much negative effect to the society especially to the environment. Other technology were sought to destroy the natural resources supposedly present in our planet. Because of these results, environment friendly technology was introduced to the world.

In our country, the innovation in technology which is eco-friendly and has the aim to help preserve the cleanliness of the air and minimize pollutants that cause air pollution from cars, trucks, jeepneys, etc are the water-based car engine and the smoke regulator. The former uses water as its gasoline in order to start the engine and run the car. While the latter uses a regulator connected to the smoke pipe of the car to control the smoke content before it is whipped out to the air. But unfortunately, the former technology was now being adapted in Japan in their public buses. Why is that so? It is because of lack of funding to implement the innovation in our country so it was sold in Japan by its inventor. The latter was in application here in the country but is privately sold and manufactured by its creator.
Another one is the innovation in medical technology, the manufacturing of high-tech gadgets for hospital and medical use and application; just like the gadget used in checking for the pre-natal status of a pregnant woman. Now a day, an incoming mother and/or a mother could actually see the figure of its unborn child in a screen in more realistic three dimensional ways. This application is now very present in hospitals locally located here in Davao and nationwide.

But I had this question that lingers in my mind since I started typing this journal. Does the innovation in technology stop? Well, to answer my own question I think it will never as long as the society and the world are in need and the geniuses are not satisfied about what they had discovered, innovations in technology will continue to grow and become more modernized. But I had also observed that once a technology is innovated, the innovation of other technology closely follows because of the relationship between them. Just like when computers had new specs, mobile phones will also have new innovations. Cars had innovated to using of Geographical Information System, televisions turn slim to save the use of too much space in the household, Mobile phones applied digital cameras and other applications such as internet, Bluetooth, infrared, etc to make the transfer of media in a fast and easy way. Innovation in technology as a conclusion is just a mere result from a competition of countries, organization and/or corporations. It is surely okay for innovations and modernizations but not to the extent that we will lose our planet and make our world dreadfully wired to the technology we invented.

Validation Processing

what is really the validation processing?

I looked for an adviser and i got one, he is just around the University perimeter and is easy to approach. I already got my research instrument advised and approved by my adviser, and is undergoing validations but i think it will take time before i got my research instrument fully validated...

I only got two research validators and my question is; do i need another one to complete the required three? well, i think and i don't think so... i think because it is the required minimum number of research validator. i don't think so because i cannot look for another one. why? it christmas and the other professors are on-leave for christmas vacation... true?

But still to come up and meet the requirements i don't think I have a choice... I must look for another one is my option... hayyy...

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! :]
