G-mail Technology Article

Over the next week G-mail will be introducing a new layout. They are calling it the New Killing Feature: Spam Killing 2.0. They will be adding 4 tabs, Primary, Social, Promotions, and Updates. Everyone gets all the unwanted emails from everything you sign up for, this new layout will have specific filters and folders to file them automatically into one of these tabs or folders. For example, everything you receive from Twitter or Facebook will be sent directly to the Social tab. "All the bills, receipts, and nagging reminders you don't want to deal with?" Those will be sent to the update tab. Only your important emails will be sent directly to your inbox. Google says that "is an inbox of emails that you actually want to look at." For past several years large companies and businesses have attempted to create something like this, yet has always failed. In the report it says that , "if anyone is audaciously qualified to attempt such a feat, it's Google."

Clusters

The best cluster that was chosen for me were Human Services and Health Sciences. Human Services workers help individuals and families meet their personal needs. You might work in a government office, hospital, nonprofit agency, nursing home, spa, hotel, or school. Or, you might work in your own home.

 My second choice of Health Sciences includes, workers who promote health and wellness. They diagnose and treat injuries and disease. As a physician, dentist, or nurse, you could work directly with patients. You could also work in a laboratory to get information used in research or provide administrative support by keeping medical records.

Project Wrap-Up

The major thing I liked about Google Docs was being able to work with a partner that was not sitting right next to you. It made things really fast and effective if someone was absent. Also, it saved all the time so you never had to manually do it. I didn't really dislike anything about Google Docs, like I said, it was flawless to me. It ran very smooth and no errors occurred. It was perfect the way it was set up to work with a partner, so yes, I did enjoy working with a partner who was not particularly close in the room to me. I am not really sure how they could enhance the Docs, it is a really great site and should give it more time to be used before they consider making and changes to it. Overall, I thought my project went very smoothly. It was not a lengthy project so I definitely like it for that. I thought our presentation came along well being that we had a different style than everyone else using our question as a headline. Other than that the project went great.

Technology Article

In the past 30 years every one has been trying to get a closer look at the deepest and vastest parts of the oceans. The parts that are all unknown to every human being. Earlier in the year, they launched a new robot to probe the deepest parts of the oceans. To get to know everything that is going on down there scientists need to stay connected with technology. They have to use it to study all the species to understand more about the life and environment of the crevasses of the ocean. One of the main worries about this project is not the limited access of engineers or scientists, but the cost of all the equipment and paying everyone. There has only been three people in world history to ever go down as far as this robot did, there names were, Jaques Piccard, Don Walsh, and James Cameron. These studies are continually increasing in value, price, and news. If things continue at this pace then the vastest parts of the ocean will soon be fully revealed.

Alvin pilot Bruce Strickrott encountered a docile deep-sea octopus 2,300 meters down in the Gulf of Mexico. Instead of swimming away, it grabbed the submersible's robotic arm, normally used for picking up samples of seafloor rocks and organisms.
