Apple launches the iPod
The iPod was a portable computer and media player. It was mostly used to listen to music. It had approximately 10 hours of audio battery life and 5 or 10 GB of storage. At this stage, iPod's didn't have touch-screens yet, though apple had prototypes of touch-screens much earlier than 2007. -
World's first cyborg
Contrary to popular belief, Neil Harbisson was not the worlds first cyborg. The title is actually given to Kevin Warwick. An array of 100 electrodes was implanted into his arm. When he would move his arm, a robotic arm counterpart would copy the movements. -
Isolation of graphene
Using only graphite and tape, two scientists Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov. They both received Nobel prizes for taping thin sheets of graphite form a chunk and transferring the tape onto a silicon wafer. The isolation of graphene is revolutionary due to it being the lightest material known, 200 times stronger that steel, and the best conductor of heat and electricity. -
First iPhone debut
The apple iPhone reinvented the phone. It was a multi-function computer in your pocket. But contrary to popular belief, the iPhone was not the first touch-screen phone. Instead, the title is given to the 1994 IBM Simon, and the first touch-screen device was invented by E.A. Johnson in 1965. -
Images are extracted directly from the brain
In Japan, the ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratory has analyzed cerebral blood flow changes in the brain to reconstruct images on a computer monitor. They use what they call a functional magnetic resonance imaging machine (fMRI) to map out blood flow changes and use a computer to covert the data into images. -
First iPad debut
In yet another device, Apple wanted to create a book sized computer that was user friendly and incorporating Wi-Fi, the iPad was the result. The iPad is basically the larger version of the iPod touch, seeing as they have similar abilities and incapacities. -
I move to Richmond
We moved to Richmond due to the bad quality of schools and horrible traffic in Alexandria. -
Antimatter is trapped
The ALPHA Collaboration claims that they have trapped 38 anti-hydrogen atoms for one-sixth of a second. Since then, on 26 April 2011, the same collaboration has trapped 300 some anti-hydrogen atoms for as long as 1000 seconds. Some of the theoretical uses include: Weapons propulsion/fuel, and even medical. -
I join TSA
I join TSA, and participate all three years of Middle School. I met my favourite teacher and mentor, Mr. Turner. -
Decide to learn the electric guitar
I decided that the cello was just not cool enough, so i set out to learn the electric guitar. -
Navy uses laser weapon
The Laser Weapon System (LaWS) is a defensive directed-energy weapon, used by the U.S. Navy. It uses a solid-state infared laser array, capable of scaling it's power-level up to 30 kW. The LaWS is being used on the USS Ponce and costs only aroun $1 per fire. -
I join DRHS wrestling
I wanted to do a sport and was recommended wrestling by some of my friends. -
I join DRHS Robotics
I didn't like TSA so far in High School and a friend recommended the DRHS Robotics team.
