Hello there, I am attending at De Anza college and this is my first year. I take CIS 2 during the summer quarter 2018.
Hunger Problem

For my Grand Challenge Project, I've chosen the topic of "Feeding the next billion". There are many people who are not able to buy food around the world because they do not have enough money for. The problem is they are not in the Minority. Each year famine kills millions of people in poor countries. Fortunately, many people have been realizing the seriousness of the problem and then try to help people who are struggling to buy food which leads them starving and are severely malnourished. So, some of them work for it together in a company or work as NGO. The thing is it works. Their efforts help to pull millions out of poverty. The object of my topic of grand Challenge is to help lifting humans out of hunger. My idea for this challenge is we might want to use biotechnology, is the broad area of science involving living systems and organisms to develop or make products, or "any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use" (UN Convention on Biological Diversity , Art. 2). by according to Wikipedia. Lastly I also think wealthy nations should help eliminate poverty and hunger around the world.
CIS 2 FINAL
1. Introductions
Where are technologies now? Computer science benefits society by solving problems, improving solutions, and protecting people, ect. It has been positively impacting every area of society for real, nonetheless, I still have some concerns regarding something that technology has brought to the world. Since it cause some health problems. Additionally, Being overly connected with the internet can cause psychological issues such as distraction, narcissism, expectation of instant gratification, and even depression. Beside use of technology can also have negative repercussions on physical healthy causing vision problems, hearing loss, and neck strain. My question is how are we going to solve these problems? How we can use technology properly. I strongly believe that we must be wondering how we can use technology and how we can protect us from problems that might be caused by technology?

So many refugees are crossing the border every year. The problem is that they are dealing with countless issues, escaping conflict or devastation, migrating unbearably long distances, living in makeshift camps, seeking asylum in countries trying to keep them out, and eventually resettling in communities with completely new cultures and languages, etc. According to online article called “How one tech initiative helps Syrian refugee kids learn new skills” the International Rescue Committee (IRC), a global humanitarian aid organization, is tackling this issue head-on — with technology.
This online article informs me that there are wide concern about cyber attacks, outages and privacy violations, nonetheless the Internet will continue linking people to valuable resources, services and opportunities. "Best"
2. Privacy and Freedom of Speech

This article informs me that new GDPR regulations on personal data will affect even individual coders. Whether you are an individual developer or small-business owner should make sure that your applications, services, and websites comply with the GDPR, even if you do not live in EU countries because the GDPR can let people know precisely who has their personal data and more control over its use.

3. Intellectual Property

Since it is clearly defined of the reason why we need to know copyright and fair use, love this video so much. We are downloading and uploading our own work or someone else’s work on the net easily. It might cause a huge legal and and ethical issues If it is free for all. This video helps to educate people about intellectual property.
https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-43085053
Getty Images, a photo library that sells the work of photographers and illustrators to businesses, newspapers and broadcasters sells photographers' work. They complain that Google ruins their business by letting people use Getty Images pictures without the appropriate permission or licence. According to the online article called “Anger at Google image search 'peace deal'” by BBC states that Google's image search feature had a button labelled "view image" that would open an individual picture in the web browser, making it easy to download. So Google had to remove "view image" button and the "search by image" button, which was an easy way of finding larger copies of photographs as part of its agreement with Getty Images. "Best"
4. Crime
You can follow the top 5 tips to avoid cyber crime. 1. Be aware when you use public Wi-fi, you could be hacked. 2. Do not click a received link from an unknown person. It is to steal your computer files, passwords and other sensitive information. 3. Do not send your personal information via email, or text message. 4. Do not use the same password for multiple accounts. It is easy to hack for all. 5. There is Security Checkup for Google account users, take it to make sure the safety and security information associated with your account is current. "Best"
http://fortune.com/2015/07/09/cybercrime-blackout-cost/
The online article called “This is how much a cybercrime blackout would cost the U.S.” by Adam Lashinsky informs you how much a cybercrime blackout would cost the U.S. I quoted this “Such a blackout would reach across 15 states, including New York City and Washington D.C., leaving 93 million people without power. The damage includes factors like a rise in mortality rates as health and safety systems fail, a decline in trade as ports shut down and transportation chaos as infrastructure collapses.” It is so interesting to think how much blackout would cost the U.S if hackers were able to make it.
5. Employment, Education and Entertainment

6. Midterm - Grand Challenges
Lifting Farmers Out of Poverty
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-governmental_organization
https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/13/what-is-non-government-organization.asp
Non-governmental organization (NGO) is Non-governmental organization (NGO) is a purely private organizations, not government agencies or government-related organizations. It could be voluntary non-profit civic organizations organized locally, nationally and internationally. Non-governmental organizations work for the public rather than the interests of individuals or businesses. It works for a variety of purposes including politics, human rights, the environment, health, and the elimination of sexism. Non-governmental organizations work not only within a single country, but also around the world because environmental issues are spread across many countries and can affect the entire globe. As non-profits, NGOs rely on a variety of sources for funding. I want to talk about how they help poor people to escape from hunger. They work hard to reduce poverty because many children suffer from hunger, lots of African children die of starvation. For example, Food Bank, the food charity NGO, has donated 700 tons of chickens to the needy.
There are lot of NGOs working for people in desperate need and are different types of NGOs out there. •BINGO: business-friendly international NGO (example: Red Cross) •ENGO: environmental NGO (Greenpeace and World Wildlife Fund) •GONGO: government-organized non-governmental organization (International Union for Conservation of Nature) •INGO: international NGO (Oxfam) •QUANGO: quasi-autonomous NGO (International Organization for Standardization [ISO]) I will be talking about INGO. Especially US and UK-based international non-governmental organizations (INGOs). What they do: The Contribution of an Asset-based Approach. They set up International NGOs and Poverty Reduction Strategies. The object of their work is to provide information of poverty reduction strategy. "Best"
Disaster Prediction
Big Data. According the online article by Bernard Marr called “Big Data: Saving 13,000 Lives A Year By Predicting Earthquakes?” he states Predictions can become far more precise, and far more accurate models of likely quake activity can be constructed, based on statistical likelihood. It could save many more people’s life by predicting natural disaster such as typhoon, heavy snow, severe drought, and earthquake. In this online article he also states that Earthquakes (and the tsunamis they cause when they occur at sea) are devastating in their cost to human lives and the economy – the 2011 Tōhoku quake off Japan’s east coast killed almost 16,000 people, destroyed over 127,290 buildings and made almost a quarter of a million homeless. Any increases in the accuracy of prediction will save lives, by enabling evacuation and disaster-relief efforts to allocate resources more effectively. We all know this already hundreds of people lose their lives every hurricane season. But I would say that Big Data is bigger than ever and saving humans lives, using to make the impossible possible. I also believe if we improve this technology, we would cut down on the human misery and waste of life caused by natural disasters across the globe.
https://listverse.com/2015/05/25/10-major-natural-disasters-predicted-in-the-near-future/
Natural disasters have been studying by scientists how we predict them and prevent from them. Many scientists are predicting major natural disasters and are doing research new hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and other natural disasters to the world occurrences for centuries. According to the online article by Roxanne Lingier and David Moore called, “10 Major Natural Disasters Predicted In The Near Future” reports that Within the 21st century, many have made predictions of major natural disasters occurring in the near and distant future.
7. Evaluating and Controlling Technology
I am really thankful to live in a country which does not control what to use in contrast with China which controls and evaluate foreign stuff, then decide if they should be filtered out or not.
https://internethealthreport.org/here-is-how-well-measure-internet-health/ So many function of the internet has been changed over time. According to the online article by Solana Larsen called “Here's how we'll measure Internet health” there are a million different things we could measure to track progress and setbacks toward a healthier Internet, including technical infrastructure, privacy laws, online harassment, disinformation, activism, and education.
https://www.chrisducker.com/controlling-technology/ 5 Secrets to Controlling Technology (and not letting IT control YOU!) It informs you to think about controlling technology and how we dealing with it. And, I believe this is important to know because we get much more information than ever before, and it may cause us overloaded. People no longer think communicating between different time zones is not going to be reality, working evenings and weekends is common way people do. I quote this from the article “With the mobile tools and access to information we have today it’s possible to have a greater level or “work life integration”. You might do a bit of work during a vacation but in turn that might be a vacation you couldn’t have taken in the past because of that work. It is a new form of “work life balance” that I think has a greater fit with the way work happens today.” When you control the technology, you can handle any issues.

This is a rocket launch simulation from the online web called "MERLOT" , a great way to learn something. According to the online article by Teachthought Staff called What’s A Learning Simulation? "Instructional simulations have the potential to engage students in "deep learning" that empowers understanding as opposed to "surface learning" that requires only memorization." Learning simulation helps you to be better understanding how they work. For my research, This program gives you a game to learn and test around, it is fun, informative, and beneficial to teachers and students. "Best"

According to the online article called "What is internet addiction, internet dependency?" by Natasha Tracy "Any online-related, compulsive behavior which interferes with normal living and causes severe stress on family, friends, loved ones, and one's work environment. Internet addiction has been called Internet dependency and Internet compulsivity." After reading the article, I have become aware that I am addicted to smartphones. Talking Siri to ask something for like how is the weather today, or where I should go for having fun on the weekend. And, I do not even look up whom people with me to take a picture and to post it on SNS when I have fancy dessert and any food to eat. There are many more things need to be thought about how we can tackle with the internet addiction and internet dependency.
9. Anytime, Anywhere
We really do rely on our smart phone and I just can not imagine going anywhere without my phone. I bring it anytime, anywhere because I am able to do anything with smartphone which has a lot of useful functions and technology. Mobilizing the educational experience is my topic of 9. Anytime, Anywhere.
https://www.nngroup.com/articles/mobile-content/
“Reading Content on Mobile Devices” by Kate Moran briefly summarize it as, “Readers can understand short, simple text content on mobile devices just as well as on computers, but they slow down when reading difficult text on mobile.” A small screen makes reading more difficult for readers. In their research, conducted six years later, they had a completely different result. They surveyed over 270 people to read a variety of different subjects of articles on either a mobile phone or a personal computer. Participants of the survey had articles were easy or were difficult. After reading, they had been asked a few questions to measure their level of comprehension of the content. Surprisingly, there is no found of differences between the readers whether they were reading on a mobile device or a computer. If you feel lower comprehension on mobile, the reason of it could be that you read very difficult content. Here is tip for reader to read difficult articles on mobile, just slow down on your reading speed. It should work out. "Best"

We all benefit with the increase interested in mobile learning. I feel that it will provide additional options for those that need it. We all have different learning styles, some of us learn at a different past than others. Now teachers can focus on the needs of the entire classroom give more individual attention oppose to just focus on the ones that are fast readers and learners. Having access to a tool that can help you with your homework or a tool that you can ask questions at anytime without feeling afraid is great for all. If you need to stay home with a love one you can without feeling like your missing out. If you need to work to provide for yourself or you family this now doesn’t need to be an issue. You can learn anywhere at anytime.

10. Technology Advances, Social Trends
We are now in a technology world. Technology advancement has allowed people to live better life than ever. It helps with business critical project communication and collaboration via web, social and mobile platforms. We will always be doing new things, at least while technology continues to advance and drive social change. It is amazing in how a short time it has become a huge effect on society.

This article well explained what happens in an internet minute in 2018 by visualizing. What I found from the pie chart is you will be doing so many things just in a minute on the net makes your life amused. “The biggest and most noticeable jump comes in Netflix hours watched” I realized that how our social trends has been changing. (Over-the-top media services, content providers that distribute streaming media as a standalone product directly to consumers over the Internet, bypassing telecommunications, multichannel television which is Just what Netflix is.) We are developing our social trends and enjoying.
