Women in Science




                What many don't know is that women had such a positive effect on science and technologies advancement. Women would never have a chance to speak or spread their ideas in earlier ages but now it is accepted for women to announce their ideas and have an impact on life and culture. Women like Ruzena Bajcsy had a major role to play in technology, Ruzena "helped create robots that could sense and respond to their environment. She now heads an innovative institute where researchers develop smart low-power sensors that both compute and communicate. " Ruzena is a women to admire.

               Technology has a negative affect to empathy now, people find that its easier to break up with their peer over a text. Some even, will ask someone to marry them on a phone call. How ridiculous right? Well to some people not too much.... People live by technology, it's their life. Without technology some people would fall into a deep depression and collapse mentally. It would be a smart idea for the government to put regulations on technology usage so that people dont fall too attached to their phones that they marry them instead of a spouse.

Impact of Technology on Relationships

There are a couple reasons why technology is really hurting our relationships. Having our phones in our hands 24/7 severely takes away time from spending with our significant other. We look at our phones alarming way more than we look at partners. Also when sending text messages, we can never actually get a sense of how the person is feeling just from a written message. The biggest problem though with always being on our phones is the absence of human contact. Without experiencing feeling or touch, we start to become more like phones and less like human beings. The biggest thing we have between humans and machines are our emotions. The way we are living now, it's not going to be long til we question that last statement.

Totalitarianism and Technology

We usually forget about the dangers of technology, and especially posting on social media on such a constant basis. It can cause real problems such as people trying to find out personal information, or trying to invade your privacy just based on a social media account. Our generation is so addicted to technology and our devices that we totally forget about the harm it brings upon us. We definitely have to be more careful and aware of how we use technology, even if it is so easily accessible.

Totalitarianism and Technology

Totalitarianism is the absolute control by the state or a governing branch of a highly centralized institution. In terms of technology in the modern time, our cellphones are basically our overlord and ruler. Whenever we go to school, the movies, or to the bars, our phones are always keeping a tight track on our location. Even if we turn our location off on our phones, there are still means of tracking us. We all also put our phones on a higher pedestal than anything else. In some cases in our society today, we consider the love for our phones to be more important and influential then our own friends and families.

Woman in Science

Women weren't always accepted in the fields of Science and Technology. But the woman that I personally think is the most important and iconic in Science and Technology is Grace Murray Hopper. She is most well known and credited for being one of the programmers of the Mark I computer. She also invented the first compiler for a computer programming language. If we didn't have the brilliant mind of Grace Murray Hopper, we might not have the luxury of the personal computer or even the military technology that we use today.
