A college in the U.K. the college ,University of Strathclyde has spent $2.2m for a collar which is worn by cows to detect how they are doing, for example if they’re sick. This collar uses the same motion sensor technology as the Nintendo Wii controller. This technology is very helpful because it sends the farmer a text on his personal cell phone that a cow is sick, or he is in extreme heat which is very important to keep the cow and his products healthy. This is a work in progress, and is still testing for full potential, but we can see a strong future. The motions sensor is 3D and can tell what position the cows head is in, for instance if its head is down its probably sick. All these projects are to help us common workers in a urban environment to live a life with better food and heath because of the food, because at any time this cow could have gotten sick and we could have eaten a potentially deadly cow who was not healthy and who should have not contributed to being our food. These measures are really good and I think people should look into funding this project.

what we might have in store for computers
Computers today have been changing rapidly. We have many things coming out such as holographic keyboards. To just think that a room filled with heavy equipment was used to store about 2 GB’s of memory, when now in 2012 we have a tiny iPod shuffle that holds up to 64 GB’s and the iPod is about the size of a new born infants hand. This is an extremely fast rate, because not only are we getting such radical new technology, but with this the extremely fast rate of our civilization will change along with it. All this technology will get us to anywhere we want such as mars, or live on the moon. Well as these computers are being made we could think that a room of large equipment was just the beginning because now we have amazing computers with anyone’s personality in mind. There are computers which are great for students, or some that are good for stay at home moms. This is a range of people that are endless, from amateur and professional athletes, to amateur and professional videogame players. There are computers for just about anything. This is a wide topic which is also very detailed in the thought that it is also a still growing business. These advancements are expanding, which is just the starting for how we as a race of thinkers will become able to travel to any planet and maybe one day we could travel outside this galaxy. Who knows what’s in store for us, all we know is that we have a great chance of prospering from this technological age.
