11 pieces of technology experts say could be obsolete in a few decades
By Cheyenne Lentz



This article made by Cheyenne Lentz was about how some technologies that we use nowadays could become obsolete in some time, few decades to be specific. This article was interesting and easy to read because Cheyenne went straight to the point with the inventions and the replacements of them.

The article says that USB drives won't be necessary in a close future due to the massive amount of people using the cloud for storage. This is believable because nowadays, I know people that use different types of services of cloud storage instead of USB drives since the USB drive can be lost unlike the data stored in the data, it'll always be there and can be accessible from any smart device.

Also, many phone companies have been working hard to get the best camera quality or a better camera quality to differentiate them from their competitors. It is said that in some years, digital cameras won't be needed since phones can reach a higher image quality and phones are catching up pretty quickly.

The cars we use nowadays will be replaced in the future. Some experts view the society in a safer environment since self-driving cars are being tested and that BI intelligence predicted that by 2020, we will have nearly 10 million cars with self-driving features.

COMPARING THE DIFFERENT IMAGE FILE FORMATS by Jorge Carty Diaz

1. Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a bitmap image that was created by US-based software writer Steve Willhite while working at the bulletin board service provider CompuServe on June 15, 1987 and now days is used by a lot of people for different purposes. 2. A raw file is the image as seen in the camera's sensor, this allows you to process the image to your liking. 3. Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) have two sub formats called JPG/Exif usually used by photographic equipment and JPG/JFIF are often used in the WWW. 4. Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression and it was created as an improvement, non-patented replacement for GIF.

My experience in the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Image
This experience was great! I loved everything i saw in the museum but of course, there are some stuff that could have been better. Let's start with the negatives so we can finish up with the positives. One negative aspect about the trip was the waiting time outside. It really was a pain to have to wait for around 30-40 minutes outside in the rain. It really didn't feel good but i believe the staff was doing everything as fast as they could to get every single student inside the museum. In the museum i got to talk to many representatives of different programs around New York and they gave us stuff like posts its, pens, little notebooks, pins, stickers, etc. These programs offered many activities, some of them paid and some others free, and these programs were really interesting because one of them offered game development classes, others musical classes and more. I was surprised by the variety of stuff you were able to sign up for, and all of them were really nice and friendly. ...

LAB 8 - Flash Talk Page by Jorge Carty Diaz

In the lab 8 called "Flash Talk Page" we had to do many things. Maybe it wasn't many things but it was definitely stuff that takes time to prepare and make. In this lab we made a 2 minute speech of an internet issue giving information about the topic in a simple way that everyone would understand. We had a research phase where we were supposed to collect information about the topic. Then we got into the writing phase, which was basically organizing the information we collected from our research and making it 2 minutes long. Then we entered in the recording phase which consisted on recording ourselves reading the speech we prepared in the previous phase. I decided to make the video in my house since i wanted to do it with my own equipment and i believe it turned out being pretty good. Lastly, we came to the coding phase which is basically embedding the video into the HTML document for everyone to see. This probably was my favorite lab by far because i got to combine my t...
