This article was a little odd to me, I personally am not fond of the idea that we need robots to assist us in daily tasks. I believe that if we have robots assisting us in our daily lives it helps make us lazier and become less likely to teach our children how to clean properly. We cannot expect everything to be done for us, while some things in this article sound lovely, and I would be okay with not having to vacuum, how much dirt can that little thing actually hold? I would rather do it myself not have to worry about the thing getting stuck somewhere or the dog attacking it.
Best Inventions 2015:
Some of these inventions seem to be pretty off the wall to me, like clothing that is laced with technology? It could be really handy to have, and I mean a shirt that translates conversations seems like a really cool idea, but are they able to have all of the millions of languages in the world? and how do you wash that is my question. Also an underground park.. why? If you want to go hang out in the sun and spend time in the park why not just go to a real park that is outside under the direct sunlight? I really am not understanding the point of this whole thing, I would rather go outside and hear the birds than go underground. Shoes you can tie with one hand? are we really that lazy that we cant spend the minute it takes us to actually tie shoes with real laces, technology seems to be becoming outlandish to me. I am a big fan of the invention of the baby monitor that tracks their temps, and heart rates and stuff, I think that is a really cool and helpful to have. I would love to have one of those for my babies. I feel like a lot of the inventions from 2015 were a little crazy, and just give way to us being more lazy. I personally think most of them are ridiculous.
Best Inventions 2016:
The first invention from this year is annoying to me, how will you actually benefit from the virtual reality headset? You can't walk around with it and you can't use it for much, I would rather be in the real world. I do however find the solar panels that do not stick out to be a great invention, it helps the environment and it doesn't make your house look absolutely ridiculous. The dishes that work around cognitive decline are extremely interesting to me, I love them because I have experienced the hardship of having someone I love start to cognitively decline and these would have been amazing, and helpful. Overall most of these inventions do not seem as wild as the year before, however some of them are lazy to an extreme, no tie shoes this year? really? that to me is just lazy. However some of them like that barbies that look like real girls is a great invention that helps to give girls something to look at that isn't ridiculous and impossible to achieve.
Miracle Maker:
Okay so, Printing live organs is pretty freaking awesome.. I mean, if we can learn to do this and make it accsesssible to everyone this could save millions of lives. I would love to see this product and technology advance this is what we should be putting our brains and technology usage to instead of shoes that tie themselves. This is an amazing advancement in technology.

ReplyDeleteI am all for things being easier. I am really slow learning about the new technologies though. I think the ideas that have been fulfilled are wonderful. Each idea leads to more ideas. I think they are amazing.
Inventions from 2015
I would be concerned about the clothing with technology involved. How would you wash it without destroying it. It is so easy to break or tear up new technologies, I would be afraid of the clothing.
New Inventions of 2016
I did not consider walking around with the virtual reality glasses on. I am just amazed at the fact that you can use it and it shows in the environment you are presently in. I also agree about the dishes that help with cognitive decline. I thought that was really neat.

This article was amazing. It would be wonderful if people never had to die waiting for an organ transplant. I know there have many advances in this technology and would really like to see this become more prevalent.
I couldn't agree more Eryn. I do believe that there is some neat inventions, but at the same time, ridiculous ones too! I do not want things (robots) doing everything for me that I am capable of doing. Having something around to do stuff for us will only make the ones using it more lazier than they already are. I do not have children yet, I know that I will want them to do everything they can like cleaning, or mowing the lawn without something doing it for them. Some of us already rely on technology to much and its not a good thing.
ReplyDeleteThe scenes from "WALL-E" pops out when I read the comfy chair article. Technology has a great impact on our life: it facilitates communication and learning at some degree; however, it also distances human interactions. How technology can be applied efficiently and properly in educational settings will be an angle that teachers need to take into account.
