Emerging Technology

                 My assumptions about the Light-Field Photography is that I think it could be very valuable to photographers, and even police officers trying to take pictures from a crime scene. It surprised me that you could refocus the picture, because of all the times I had the perfect angle my picture would be blurry, and I always wished I could change it. I think we have a big possibility in the future because Ng states, "In the future, all cameras will be light-field-based."
             In 2009 there was a technology called the Intelligent Software Assistant, that they considered for an emerging technology. Comes to be that now in 2012 that we have this technology. You could find this kind of software on the iPhone 4s, an example on that would be you have this like device on your phone where you can ask it questions and it will give you an answer. I believe that the ideas that they have now for 2012 could come out in three or four years, depending on how we make this technology work.

Theodore Roosevelts Journey

                  Theodore Roosevelt and a group of men started this journey in 1913 to explore Brazils River of Doubt. He suffered from malaria, had many fevers, and developed a deadly bacteria on his left shoulder. They had to leave there canoes at one point to go in the jungle to save themselves. During their journey they lost dozens of packs of mules, and had left their oxens to starve. They came acrossed their deadly fear of caimans, and razor-toothed piranhas. In the end all but Roosevelt, Kermit and three men survived.

Online Safety

                  A website that I found on the Internet was about Kacie Rene Woody. She was born on 1989- to December 2nd, 2002. She was abducted from her home in a small town in Arkansas. Earlier that year she met a guy on a Christian chat room whos name was David. He told her that she was 16 and lived in California. The one thing she didnt know that he was a 47 year old man. She didnt tell her any personal information but by the help of the Internet and one button he found everything about her and let his home town in California to Arkansas to stalk, kidnapp, rape, and kill Kacie. He took her from her home, tied her to the floorboard of his van, took him to this storage unit and not only killed Kacie, but he killed himself also.
            One thing that I think she could of done to prevent this is dont get on chat rooms period. You may think its fun but very dangerous. Dont talk to people you dont know and dont even give out one personal information out.
          My thoughts on this is that its very scary. Knowing that if you tell one little information about this you can use the Internet to search to find you and you can have every little information you need to locate where you are at. I now know how serious this is and to be even more careful on the Internet.
