HW 9

Q1) I can give a very good answer to prove my statement that there is no such thing as scientific proof. One of the reason to support this is that much of the science consists of hypothesis, which is not a clear and final answer but it is just a prediction based on assumption but we see soo many theories that is supported just by a hypothesis. Moreover there are many things science cannot answer and it just relies on theories that are mere hypothesis.
Q2) One of the thing that I had been doing research is about the existence of the antibiotic medicines that have come in the market. The interesting thing that I have learned that when the hybrid food was being brought into the market there was a large opposition from the medical indusry itself because of the harm this would cause. Every human body has an immune system that is continuously fighting with the diseases that arise in our body, what happens is that the person whose immune system gets to zero level would get aids i.e. acquired immuno deficiency syndrome, thus each of us have some level immune system working in our body. What happens is that the biotechnology could help in combining the genes from two crops to make a one better crop but what we lost here was the immune system that these fruits could provide us and the result is that the docts had togive antibiotics with every medicine they give no matter even if it is a small fewer because they know that the immune system is becoming less in the body. Thus the hybrid food was not widely accepted until the world was introduced about the antibiotic medicines.
Q3) Computers have surely helped us gained a lot but we have been severly hit from the side of privacy. That is why we see soo many virusus and malwares in the web, that there are large number of holes in the softwares that people write and that is the reason that its hard to protect of what is there in our computers no matter what and how secure we say to our self. For many of the software developers say that there is nothing called as software privacy and some smart programmer could easily hit even to the dark spots in our computer. And that’s the reason that software privacy is a big concern these days. After the emergence of facebook one could see how hard we had been hit on the privacy side.

HW 8

1. The way that I see 2100 is that a massive amount of expansion in terms of technological revolution that would sweep the mankind. But there are some of the important factors that needs to be addressed. One is that the environment is reaching its peak of disaster and its hard to predict of the worst consequences that would result in the future and more over the consumption of fuel at such a large scale in the previous and the present century would surely bring the manking to fell at the legs of natural ways of getting their things done. There would surely be some kind of bing problems based on the current readings but it wouldn’t happen eventually. Also when seeing the current situation about the oil leak and many more things like the fumes in europe, I feel that we would not be that capable of tackling such big problems, the only thing I suggest is to turn the mankind towards natural way of living rather than using the resources.

2. How this topic is related with my report about the buildings of the future survey is that in future due to the climatic changes there would be a change in preference of the people of the type of houses they want to live in. We see a huge variety of people with different views. The people who are much educated would more want to shift toward the renewal energy resources such as windmill and use of dynamo’s in generating energy. That is why we see a lot of educated people shifting towards the raw foods these days. There are other things also that related with my project here is that how secure the houses would be to avoid the various radiation that are there in the climate so that its safe inside the house.

HW7

          Chasing the future is what I chose for spoil sports of prediction game. The main truth is that in the business decision we suually focus and aim at the short term payback but of course there is a long term planning which targets various horizons with minimum aim of 3 years. Even when we shirf our mind towards the political decisions, then we see that they too focus on short term plans and the reason I would give in support of this statement who say that democracy is the worst form of government except the one’s who had been tried.

           But I would consider this as a biggest mistake of looking too far ahead of what we are today and destiny could be captured only one step at a time. Just even ordinary kind of people also look at short term plans as the animals themselves teach us the short term planning behavior. The only benefit I see in long term planning is that the further we go in predicting about our future the less likely we are right and thus, there is a higher risk that the effort spent preparing will end up wasted. But one thing needs to be kept in mind that just blindly focussing on just the near term would be just a too narrow vision, the risk I see in this term is that it’s a kind of risk in terms of failing to prepare as the future is approaching.

HW6

1) When I started doing research and collecting some of the information aimed towards asking the people about the future of the buildings, there were various very different kind of views regarding this subject and it was really hard to summarize the different views into one single statement.

2) The outline of my report would be as below :

ABSTRACT: Overview of the future buildings
Introduction: discussion and views of different people about the future of buildings and its survey.
Materials requied: The various kinds of views that originated from various regisons
Results: Analyze various views and suggestions by different people and giving a general view
Discussion: Compare the various answers and accept some of them while comment on some of them. Pointing towards what likely would be the future of buildings.
3)
ABSTRACT: Overview of the future buildings
Introduction: discussion and views of different people about the future of buildings and its survey.
Materials requied:

First analyzing various kinds of buildings and how they are related with the people’s imagination from their own perspective as we see below.

The sudden change in the design structues of various buildings during this century have a lot to do with the boom in design of various stuff

When there was a survey and about the coming up different style buildings and the reason behind those designs
 http://www.newsweek.com/2008/08/09/buildings-that-can-breathe.html

When we analyze how economic friendly the designers are keeping in developing the buildings

The perspective of the young designers coming up in showing the unique desings they got and how could this be integrated into a better design.
