- Hey there, My name is Bob. What is yours?
- Today I am going to tell you about 3 innovations made possible by computer science.
- First on the list is a laptop.
- The laptop, a portable computer, was created in 1981 and weighed about 24 lbs.
- Since then, scientist have reduced the size of components causing it to lose weight
- They have also increased screen resolution, memory, and speed over time making the laptop much more enjoyable to use.
- Laptops have become more affordable giving people from all types of economic status a cheap and easy way to access the internet and information.
- Programs within laptops have created many more jobs which increase economic wealth
- The next innovation is the EKG, electrocardiogram.
- Once the activity is detected the machine then transmits the pattern on the screen allowing doctors to see how the heart is beating.
- The EKG measures electrical activity from your heart beat.
- Support vector machines, SVMs, have been added to newer EKGs allowing them detect heart patterns and disorders with a 89.72% acuraccy.
- The EKG is not perfect just like any machine , but computer scientist are consonantly finding ways to improve it.
- This innovation has helped doctors all over the world allowing them to detect heart disorders faster than ever, and as an effect many lives are saved.
- EKGs have opened a whole new field of study allowing more jobs to be created which helps the economy continue to grow.
- The last innovation i am going to be talking about is Genetically Modified Plants,
- Modifying plants's DNA requires copying, cutting, and pasting DNA.
- These procedures require state of the art technology and machines and that is where computer science plays its role.
- One of these Monsanto’s GenV planter. While creating GMOs is mostly about breeding, scientist still need a way to track and keep up with plants.
- The Monsanto’s GenV planter allows scientist to calculate optimal seeding and growing conditions best suited for the plant
- GMOs have allowed farmers to grow mass productions of food and have made them more cost efficent for people looking to by them.
- Computer Science has actually helped the agriculture field in more ways than you can imagine.
- It allows farmers to run simulations that help plant production and it tells them where to plant.
- They have also created software to help farmers analyze a plants health during tough weather conditions.
- Computer science has benefited the agricultural feild in a positive way allowing farmers to grow more plants.
- Not only did it help agriculture, but it also helped manufacturing
- They have been able to create conveyer belts and machines to help transport.
- These machines helped manufactures create a fast and simple way to package and deliver stuff.
- Last thing i will tell you about today is computer languages used. one of the most common one is python and another is java .
- Python is used because it has multiple programming paradigms and is compatble with major platforms.
