Do Now



Organizing Folders in my computer looks similar to the picture above. We have one main folder on the top that could be called "Photos" or "Documents". The next section in the main folder would be folders that would be called for example, vacations, parties, school photos and for Documents it would be, PowerPoint, Word, Excel etc. Then the next sections would be the photos themselves and the documents themselves. I use a hierarchical method. 

Tagging is to attach a label to something. For example in Facebook you tag a name on a picture.

Social Bookmarking is a method for Internet users to organize, store, manage and search for bookmarks of resources online.

These two things are very important because with this people from the internet can share stuff with each other.

Motors In Wheels
The SIM-LEI

In Tokyo there has been a car show. There has been many electric cars in the show but nothing like this one. The SIM-LEI can travel about 200 miles in a single charge and can go from 0 to 60 in 4.8 seconds. Believe it or not the performance comes from the wheels and not under the hood. So it has 4 motors, 1 in each wheel. That is a total of 260 kilowatts to use. If this car ever gets mass produced, the car cost will be around 32,000.

Solar Impulse Aircraft




The Solar Impulse aircraft ways about a mid -size car and has a wingspan of 200 ft. The inventor of this aircraft is Bertrand Piccard, he invented this with energy conservation in mind. In fact, this aircraft roughly uses the same amount of energy that the Wright brothers'plane required to power in 1903. This aircraft has four motors containing polymer lithium batteries and a heat management system designed to conserve heat at high altitudes. People asked if it can carry 200 people eventually, Piccard responded that it would be crazy to say yes but it will be stupid to say no.
