Databases

Although I didn't get a message, now when I enter a number into the chart, it only allows 20 characters no more. Also with the engine capacity no more than 4 characters can be entered. 

These are images of how I edited the type of information entered into my database

Siri App

Here what I have done is created a random reply for Siri to give each time a question is asked. 

Some of the improvements I would make is for Siri is for it to give more relevant answers. Also I would get the app to ask questions back so the user and the app could have a proper conversation. I would add more of a variety of answers to cover many different topics along with maybe letting Siri give images of they are relevant to the question the user asks. 

Domestic Robots!

Autom is a personal trainer robot. It can track your progress and instruct daily workouts as well as give you feedback. This would be more useful since it’s not very large and also once you pay for it you can use if freely unlike having a human personal trainer whom you’d have to pay continuously.  It also has a small screen to show you your data.

iRobot Looj 330 is a gutter cleaner. It is a wireless robot that scoops up any leaves or rubbish that may be in the gutters all by the pressing of one button. It saves a lot of hassle by moving by itself meaning all you have to do is press the ‘auto clean’ button and waif o the leaves and rubbish to fall. This is useful to prevent any injuries that could be caused by falling from the roof or ladder.

Winbot Series 7 is a window cleaning robot. The robot uses suction to stay stuck to the window and cleans at the press of a button. It can clean the insides and outsides of windows with no problems, removing debris and dust and any unwanted substances on the window surface. This would save a lot of time on cleaning windows when you could be doing work or something more productive. It also removes smaller particles that the human eye could easily miss.

iRobot Scooba 230 is a floor cleaner. It is a small robot and can therefore fit into tight spaces to clean corners and around objects. Also according to the maker of the iRobot Scooba 230, it can kill up to 97 percent of germs and bacteria on floors. This would be useful for he more tedious jobs like behind cupboards or in the bathroom.

The Husqvarna Automower 230 ACX is a lawn mower. It only takes 45 minutes to charge for 1 hour and 30 minutes worth of usage. It can mow up to ¾ of an acre in size and includes a keypad that can light in the dark and a code lock to prevent any unwanted use. It is useful for the summertime when it could be too hot to go outside and manually mow the lawn, to just press a few buttons and be able to sit in the cool while the robot mows the lawn.

More Python!

Python!

Here what we did was we put the formula into two different ways of presentation. Firstly we put just the expression we wanted it to print, then we put the expression with the answer as a decimal. 

Here we repeated one sentence 50 times by giving the computer the command. It's on a loop, it would continue until it reached 50 repetitions. 

It took me a while to get this one but here we added numbering to the repetitions so each time it printed the sentence, it numbered it telling us which one was which. 

Robots!

1) On the one hand, robots are useful. List they ways they are useful.

Robots can perform tasks quicker and more efficiently than humans.

They can transfer things that humans could not.

Once they are programmed barely any work has to be done manually

They can do tasks that are boring or repetitive without complaining.

They can also reduce the costs of manufacturing.

2) On the other hand they could end up being dangerous. List the potential problems.

They could develop emotions and start a takeover

They could obtain information so that they could update themselves,

They could replace human jobs causing a rise in unemployment.

3) Should society be concerned with the problems that could occur?

I personally think that society should be quite concerned with the problems that could potentially occur. This could help us prepare. Also it is very likely that robots could become superior to the human race and manage to create problems for us. 

4) Do you agree or disagree with this statement? A computer can only be as smart as its programmer. However, one day a computer might be programmed to learn how to learn. Programmers need to think carefully before creating robots that mimic human intelligence. Why do you agree/disagree?

I agree. I think this is true because as it says, they could be programmed how to learn. This could lead to developing emotions or understanding the weaknesses of humans which as I've said could lead to a robot apocalypse. I think programmers should give only the intelligence needed to complete the job or purpose of the robot rather than program it to learn.

SLC Logo

Me and Kathleen worked together to make this logo for Sunshine Leisure Centre. We like it because the SLC looks like negative space and the logo is very eye catching. We used Inkscape because our computers didn't have Adobe Fireworks. This represents peace and beauty. We tried to make some of the strokes look like butterflies and flowers to indicate the freedom and beauty of SLC. It might be a bit hard to describe the logo but we describe it as colourful and abstract. We would also like to crop it to make it better. We used an array of different colours to show that 

Sunshine Leisure Centre Logo

These are three logos I designed for Sunshine Leisure Centre. I like the first one because it looks like the C is lounging on the SL. It represents relaxation. I also like the second one because it has a sun and looks a bit more fun and lively. The third one is more simple and official.
