Homework Seven

I am supposed to have more information but unfortunately this all I got new .

In the second part of the homework we are asked to apply TRIZ in our topic. My topic is transportations in the future. I think is a good example for that is making cars working without spending any gas when they reach like sixty five or seventy mile per second, I think in that speed cars can produce energy by their movement, and that can be used instead of the gas.
Then part B we are asked to pick up ten TRIZ items and apply them to our topic.1) Local Quality: make something that is uniform, nonuniform. When we make cars produce energy in certain speed that is changing them from uniform to nonuniform.2) Asymmetry: make something that is symmetric, asymmetric. I think having cars with more number of wheels could help them to produce more energy than having four tires.3) Segmentation: break something unitary into parts, modules, pieces, etc. in our situation when the car reach the speed that it needs to stop spending gas we could let the part that we do not need to be off.4) Universality: make one thing do more than one thing. I think we cars could be able to fly in the future.5) Preliminary action: do something to an object before it is needed. Cars in the future might be able to tell driver if something wrong would happen before it happens.6) Equipotentiality: compensate for gravity. As I mentioned before cars may be able to fly in the future.7) Dynamics: make it movable or flexible. Cars can be fixed by themselves, like if there is something wrong in them they get fixed without taking them to a mechanic.8) Self-service: something serves itself. In the future cars might have programs which can lead them anywhere we want to go.9) Color changes: change color or transparency of object or environment. We might have cars can get change their colors as we like.10) Cheap short-lived objects: throw it away afterwards. As I mentioned before that we may need more wheels in order to produce more energy, therefore tires should be cheaper in the future.



The second part is to design an outline for our report.
1) Introduction:
a) The history of transportation.
b) The current transportation.

2) Kind of transportations applications can be reach in the future.
3) What is passable and what is not.
4) Issue we may face with new kind of transportations.
5) Conclusion.
6) References.

Homewrok six

We have discussed in the class with our teacher some topics relates to the future, and from these topics we should fine three websites for these topics, then we have to make an argument about we found in those websites.
1) When will the broadband Internet speed/download speed offering reach 1 GBPS (gigabyte per second globally (i.e 51 to 49 % being dominant), where downloading a whole movie (approx 2 Gigs) would happen in 3 seconds at max?
a) http://gigaom.com/2009/02/01/by-2012-koreans-will-get-a-gigabit-per-second-broadband-connection/. (This article talks about that Korea will get 1Gbps Broadband Connections by 2012).
b) http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/147451/study_calls_for_1g_broadband_in_us.html . ( this article about study calls for 1G broadband in US).
c) http://www.cellphonehits.net/1gbps-internet-speed-now-available-in-japan/ . ( this article saying that 1Gbps internet speed new available in Japan).

2) What will the average human lifespan be in the US, in the year 2050?
a) http://www.imminst.org/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=67&t=680&s ( This article talks about Average Human Lifespan, Maximum Human Lifespan, and different things that may help to a make a research on lifespan in the US, in the year 2050.
b) http://www.mentalhelp.net/poc/center_index.php?id=72 (this article talks about Medical Disorders and how do the affect people life).
c) http://www.infed.org/biblio/lifecourse_development.htm (This article talks about lifespan development and lifelong learning).

3) Green energy technologies.
a) http://www.alternative-energy-news.info/150mpg-algae-powered-toyota-prius (this article talks about if we could use algae instead of gasoline in cars.
b) http://www.alternative-energy-news.info/more-efficient-solar-cells-with-carbon-%20nanotubes/ (in this article there are thinking on using carbon instead of silicon which is cheaper and more efficient hopefully).
c) http://www.alternative-energy-news.info/solar-flower-tower/ ( this article talks about thr future solar power in South Israel).

In the second part of the homework we are asked to apply TRIZ in our topic. My topic is transportations in the future. I think is a good example for that is making cars working without spending any gays when they reach like sixty five or seventy mile per second, I think in that speed cars can produce energy by their movement, and that can be used instead of the gas.
Then part B we are asked to pick up ten TRIZ items and apply them to our topic.
1) Local Quality: make something that is uniform, nonuniform. When we make cars produce energy in certain speed that is changing them from uniform to nonuniform.
2) Asymmetry: make something that is symmetric, asymmetric. I think having cars with more number of wheels could help them to produce more energy than having four tires.

10) Cheap short-lived objects: throw it away afterwards. As I mentioned before that we may need more wheels in order to produce more energy, therefore tires should be cheaper in the future.

Homework Five

In this homework I will talk about Predication Markets. I will use the website which our instructor gave us in the class. http://www.intrade.com/. On the predication market everyone can make bids depending on what they think.
1) GM to sell 15,000 Chevy Volts by December 31, 2011
The current bid is 10%, I believe this number should be higher since the gas price is getting higher.
2) USA and/or Israel to execute an overt Air Strike against Iran by 31 Dec 2010
The current bid is 30.5%, I do not believe that would happen, not because they cannot do it but because they will lose a lot of money in that war.
3) Verizon to announce before midnight ET on 31 Dec 2009 that it will begin selling the Apple iPhone.
The current bid is 0.5%, I think AT&T will renew the agreement with Apple againe, therefore Verizon wont have the chance to sell Apple Ipone.
4) Barack Obama to be Democratic Presidential Nominee in 2012
The current bid is 81.3%, I believe he will be nominee in 2012 again according to the good things that he already has done.

5) Average national price for regular unleaded gas to be $1.00 per gallon or more on 31 Dec 2009
The current bid 95%, this could happen if the exporting country of oil start to export two times more the amount that they export.
6) A federal government run health insurance plan to be approved before midnight ET 31 Dec 2009
The current bid is 28.4%, I think this will occur since they have been working on it for long time.
7) The US Economy will go into Recession during 2010
The current bid is 39.4%, I do believe that not only the US Economy go into recession but the whole world economy will go into recession but not in next year, I think that it would happen in two years from new.
8) British troops in Iraq to withdraw to less than 1000 soldiers remaining by Jan 1st 2010
The current bid is 70%, I do not believe that would happen by Jun 1st 2010 because Iraq government still need support.
9) Osama Bin Laden to be captured/neutralised by 31 Dec 2009.
The current bid is 3.7%, I do not believe he will be captured because I think he is already died.
10) Average Global Temperature for 2009 to be among five warmest years on record.
The current bid is 60%, I do not think so, because from my own experience I feel like every winter season is getting colder that the others.


Average national price for regular unleaded gas to be $1.00 per gallon or more on 31 Dec 2009
I do not believe this will happen because I think everything is getting more expensive and that because oil products is getting more expensive,
