Environmental science
you have been asked to prepare a speech for the annual convention of citizens for a greener planet, a national environmental group, on the idea of sustainable development. Since many of your listeners are not scientists, you want to use examples that lay people can understand.. You have decided to illustrate the concept by discussing te social factors that brought about the collapse of the Easter island civilization. You then intend to compare these events to the on-going deforestation of the Amazon rain forest. Conclude the speech by explaining what should be done to make sustainable development a reality.

Google Tech Talks
April, 14 2008

ABSTRACT

“Viewfinder” is a novel method for users to spatially situate, or “find the pose,” of their photographs, and then to view these photographs, along with others, as perfectly aligned overlays in a 3D world model such as Google Earth. Our objective is to provide a straightforward procedure for geo-locating photos of any kind, and our approach is to engage a community of users for a certain amount of human help. We specify that a 10-year-old should be able to find the pose of a photo in less than a minute, and we are convinced that this goal is achievable.

Our work to date, supported by a Google Research Award, was intended to be fast, lean, and focused on a single piece of a larger puzzle: posing and viewing arbitrary photos in pre-existing 3D models (not custom-recorded photos and not model building, though we hope our work will be useful in these areas). In addition to presenting Viewfinder specifics, the larger puzzle itself will be examined.

This talk will be taped.

Speaker: Michael Naimark
Michael Naimark, Viewfinder Project Director

Michael Naimark has made interactive “moviemaps” of Aspen from the street, Paris from the sidewalk, San Francisco from the air, Karlsruhe from the rail, Banff from hiking trails, and stereo-panoramic movies in Jerusalem, Dubrovnik, Angkor, and Timbuktu. His work is an unusual combination of optimism and activism, for example, it currently ranks #1 on Google searches for both VR webcams and camera zapper. Naimark received the World Technology Award for the Arts in 2002 and was the subject of a 20-year retrospective at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena in 2005. He currently serves on the Visiting Committee for the MIT Media Lab and on the faculty in the Interactive Media Division of the USC School for Cinematic Arts.

For my Biology class we have to make a lesson plan up about global sustainability. What are some activities, or experiments a teacher could do with a fifth or sixth grade class?

Мы вас похороним, товарищ! asked:


Environmental factors include everything from Tsunamis to supernova stars, from mental illness to death. Is there anything that you think is scientifically impossible for mankind to manipulate and control?
What empirical evidence do you bring to the table to substantiate that claim? I think it’s possible to ‘cure’ death as a symptom. I think if we could choose, we would have chosen to avoid it altogether.
Ross, I don’t believe in a ‘next step’ I think it’s fundamentally impossible for your conscious and memories to go anywhere once you’ve died.
