...write this paper. The more I researched the topic, the more I found that it may be a good idea to, in a sense narrow this topic down, so it wasn’t such a vast topic and the report wasn’t just kind of all over the place. I decided to go in the direction of just simply covering one specific example of a few types of SMART technologies that exist today. First of all, what is SMART technology? According to TechTerms.com, SMART stands for, “Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology.” It is often times used to protect and prevent errors in hard drives. Put more simply, it’s basically technology that is dynamic, economical (most of the time), and engages in multiple long term solutions towards the health of humans and the productivity, through interactive multisensory technology, action based learning, and brain-body integrated exercise. This type of technology can be used through the use of SMART bands, or wearable equipment, such as the Garmin Vivofit or the Adidas Fit Smart: Fitness tracker, video game based systems such as the Wii Fit or XBOX Kinect, Personalized Apps that can be downloaded onto your smart phone, and even built-in to large workout equipment, like treadmills and ellipticals. One major type of this product is a multisensory fitness suite of products by Multisensory Products. One of the proprietary technologies within MultiSensory Fitness Inc., SMART is Multisensory Brain-Body Fitness Training, a leading technology. This type of technology is designed...

...Howard Billings Research Paper Dig 3286 Dromology and Convergence In today’s world of instant digital information and communication technology is constantly advancing. Inventors are constantly working to produce new awe-inspiring products. The goal of all these new products is to work faster than the ones that came before it. Of course, technical advancement is nothing new. Whether it was the car, the microwave, or a vacuum cleaner all were produced to increase the speed at which we do things. The difference is that digital technology is increasing not only the speed of the new products, but the speed at which these new products are being produced. Either way it is safe to say that technology and the world revolve around speed. The main goal of every industry is to do things fast and efficiently. Accessing information and communication is already faster than one could have ever imagined. The quest now is to become even faster. Push technology to its limits. In fact, the quest now is to set new limits. Is it plausible to think that we could one day communicate faster than the speed of light? Olympic track athlete Usain Bolt is a good comparison to where we are today as a technological society. His record breaking 100 meters times have reached mythical proportions. It used to be that taller heavier athletes were at a disadvantage in the 100 meters. Their height and weight would work against them, allowing the smaller runner to jump out to a lead that could not be overcome...

...For example, companies like Welkin, Honor, or Lantern provide services for individuals removed from the payment process. The person purchasing the service is not necessarily reaping the benefits. The CEO of Lantern stated, “the most challenging barrier to adoption is that this is an industry where the payer is not ultimately the end- user of the technology they pay for. As a result, there are numerous stakeholders (payer, provider, user) that must buy-in before an idea is commercially viable.” Evidence based reviews are important, but they are just one piece of the puzzle. Discovering how to integrate technology with these real life scenarios can be...

...John Weatherwax Week 7 En 1320 Research paper New technology break troughs, Research question, less than 30 years ago we had no cell phones If we can talk on a cell phone that is a watch today and where will we be in 30 more years? Just by what I have seen and heard from various producers of cell phones I do believe that the cell phone tech is going to be in the field of a wearable devices the new (in the last few years ) watches are just the start. In the 50’s Dick Tracy had a watch that the new watches mimic so what is next will it implants or projectable it is hard to tell but in my thoughts it will be in the realm of a wearable and possibly a wearable projection device. Articale #1 Cast your mind back to late 2008, when the first Android-powered handset saw the light of day. Obama won his first Presidential election, Apple launched its App Store (the iPhone had appeared the year before), Google announced its own Chrome browser and we got our first look at the company's new mobile OS on the T-Mobile G1. The Android of 2013 is a world away from that 2008 version, where the Android Market was in its infancy, there were no native video playback capabilities and the G1 had no multi-touch support. But Google is going to have to keep innovating and improving its mobile OS to keep the lion's share of the smartphone market. We've taken a peek into the future to consider what Android might look like in the year 2020. With new Android monikers now appearing about once...

Sony has created the ultimate entertainment magic box for young people, and the number of people who own a PlayStation 4 is close to 20 million as of January 2015, just over a year since its release. Our project focuses on one certain aspect: the health of people aged 13-21 who owns a PS4. Our proposal is that we include a Sony SWR10 fitness smart band in the PS4 box, launch a marketing campaign before Christmas and on Boxing Day in Australia the console plus smart band will go on sale together with a game from EA games. Then we introduce the 100-summer days challenge. This is the core of our project, we will offer rewards to people who use their smart band in healthy activities, and based on walking distances or calories burnt that will be recorded in the smart band, and after implementing the software to synchronize this data to the PS4, users will be able to claim their rewards on the rewards website that Sony has. We are giving gamers the incentive and encouragement to get out there and live a healthy lifestyle...

...life. Almost anything can be done via the internet. Shopping, research, book reading, CD downloads, ordering takeout and groceries are just some of the conveniences the internet has afforded us. However, these conveniences are not without risk. These risks, according to The White House Summit on Cybersecurity and Consumer Protection, “threaten national security, private enterprises and individual rights”. (The White House, 2015) The exponential rise and subsequent crimes of the internet have made it necessary to establish measures that protect consumers from risks such as fraud and identity theft. While these measures do offer protections to the consumer, as is the intent, they sometimes come at a cost to businesses. For example, if a customer’s credit/debit card information was stolen and unauthorized purchases were made, the customer has the ability to file a claim with the issuer of the card. The credit issuer or bank takes the loss for said purchase after an investigation determines fraud has occurred. According to the 2013 Nilson report, card issuers bore a 63% share of fraudulent losses and merchants assumed the remaining 37% liability in 2012. (as cited in Kiernan, 2015) What are the legal implications of advances in internet technologies and the impact those protections have on protecting cyberspace consumers.
