The Sixth Sense

Using the cost of a smartphone, development is in process to combine texting, phone calls, and internet use.  With the combination of a mirror, phone, projector, camera, and coloured finger caps this prototype can perform complex tasks such as price comparison at the grocery store and person recognition.  With such technology the world could get that much smaller.  This is a big concern to some because it could exploit them greatly via facebook, myspace, and blogs just by scanning them.  Is this an invasion of privacy?  Only time will tell.

Intro to Technology Quiz

This qr code is a link to an excellent machining website called "The American Machinist".  I have made this link to an article about machining aluminium in specific.  There are many variables to address when making efficient machining procedures.

The average person doesn't realise the many things to overcome when machining.  Some that can be listed are proper material removal, cutting speeds, rigidity, coolant, vibrations, and many others.  Much of their research comes from engineers at www.iscar.com.  This topic is always being debated and updated due to the constant competition between east and west within industry.
