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.

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 Quince | JS Drum Kit & Clock | Jorge Carty

Image
In lab 15, I was required to create a website that allowed the user to play sounds from a drum kit using the keyboard, to be more exact, with keys like "A", "S", "D", "F", "G", "H", "J", "K", "L". Also, this lab has a clock that tells you the real-time and it's constantly updating. To develop this idea I had to design the clock and the drum kit in HTML and CSS, and add its functionality with JavaScript. For the drum kit, divs were made with specific data-keys and using audio tags that also react to data-keys which makes the sounds work, and the other makes the div get highlighted once you press a key in the drum kit. A function in JavaScript was also made in order to allow the user to spam the sounds, otherwise, the sound would play and the user would have to wait a couple of seconds to play it again. As for the Clock, it was made using divs and changing their form by modifying the radi
