This time, I went through all the class lecture power points and I saw one lecture which talked about bits and bytes in chapter 2. This apparently does not related to my project, talking about the how bits and bytes values, the difference between decimals and binary and count binary by using hands. However this may come up with something that can possibly improve my project.
In the lecture, there was the section called "Put in Perspective" which shows that how much amount of space is need for one object. For instance, in order to save a one page microsoft word document, 30 KB are required and computer with 1TB can save 1000 hours of videos which is about 350 movies.
This give me an idea that if i put a momory chip into the remote controlled bed and save all the routes by recording through camera. So, by pushing one botton, it can automatically take one through the place where one wants to go. Obviously this might not necessary however, people who are blind, might need this because they are unable to see.

Week 11
Few weeks ago, proffesor had a lecture about digital images and video. This was quite interesting although it is not related to my project. He talked about the basics of digital images, including pixel, hue, saturation and brightness. These were the familiar terms that i knew, but in terms of technological way, it was completely different.
Hexadecimal color which i think it was the most fun part, is that the code consisting of 6 values can distinguish the color of the image. For instance, black would be 000000, and white will be FFFFFF. The another fun part was vedieo, I learned the key video concepts which i think this might help for my project
On my project, as I said, i will attach a labtop to my remote controlled bed and instead of the camera which generally attached on the top of the monitor, I will attach camera in front of bed. So people can see where they going by monitoring through their computer and since this bed is for people who has physical or mental disablities, the camera, laptop and remote controlled systems are connected that whenever they get lost, the remote controlled bed can go back to where they were by recording the routes.

Week 10
Network which probably one of the key factors that globalized the world in one place. This time, I learned not only the inportance of networking system but also the use of IP address and domain names.
When I was working on the Lab on network, there was part which I need to show how long does my computer takes to access the specific websites. This was quite interesting that I believe google was the fastest time to access. I did not realized how we technically access the internet website, but as i go through the lab and read lecture notes, it helped me a lot to comprehend the fuction of networking.
This fuction, i believe, can apply to my project, remote moveable bed. Every each bed has some kind of own identification system (similar to IP address) that also connects to the computer that it attaches to the bed. Therefore it works as a GPS system that people can notify where they are and where they at.

Week 9
In the lecture, professor talked little bit about privacy. The techology lead a great impact on soceity like everyone gathers in online and information goes through internet in very few seconds, the world is getting comfort and comfort. However, some people use this technology in a very bad way, accessing other propertys which called hacking.
During the lecture, I remember the message from Deborah Platt Majoras, chairman of the FTC to ChoicePoint and others "Data security is critical to consumers, and protecting it is a priority for the FTC, as it should be to every business in America" I realized the protection of one's privacy is not just dangerous and risky to the consumers but also dangerous to the large companies.
For my project, although it not really unrelated, I will attach small computer on my remote movable bad and make sure all the computers are secured like setting anti virus system in the computer. Also I realized if i make a business, my private information can be stored. It is very important to keep computer in safety, turning firewalls on and running anti virus system.
