The system helps drivers be alert on the driving activity that occurs around them the device even allows the driver to pick a desired radius in which it will function in (this can be up to several kilomet...

The privacy of the people is really important when it comes to giving your personal info on the internet but nothing is ever safe when it goes online. For me I know that nothing I put on the internet is always safe. Everything can be viewed online by others even if you think its s...

The tool works by monitoring the activity of email accounts associated with the websites that are being hacked or have been hacked. Through the data that was collected it was discovered that almost 1 percent of the websites that were tested during the 18-month testing perio...

A major company such as Ford has started taking an interest towards exoskeletons and it seems that the question whether exoskeletons are the future of physical labor will now be answered as it is becoming a reality. Paul Collin's is a worker for Ford who has been beta testing an exoskeleton vest ...

For the index I created a table with images of the separate pages and the names of them. The names and the pages when clicked on took the user to the page so they can view the content. That is all that was needed for lab 9, overall it was a very straightforward lab that required a little amount of time.             The software's used for the lab ...

Lab 13 Reflection Journal

Lab 13 required a massive amount of CSS that we would look up on the website w3school.com. First what we had to do was create an HTML document it did not matter what you put on the HTML document it could've been anything to lyrics from your favorite song to the Amendments. But after creating the HTML document then came the hard part which was the CSS. Mostly all of the CSS used in this lab we had not learn yet in class we had to go to w3schools and learn ...

Lab 12 Reflection Journal

The lab introduced to the ideas of using selectors such as "class" and "id" tags these tags would make our code more organized than it originally was as it helps to not repeat code over and over again. We were also introduced to the "div" tag which is basically a container. In lab we were given plain text by Mrs. Ramirez and our job was to add HTML codes to them so we coul...

Lab 11 Reflection Journal

So basically the HTML for both labs 11 and 10 were the same the only change was that the CSS was not located in the HTML document but an entirely separate document which was made for the sole purpose of housing the CSS only. The only thing needed for the HTML document of lab 11 that was different to lab 10 is a <link rel> tag this would link the external CSS to the HTML document allowing the CSS to take effect. To creat...

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet and the CSS can be placed inline, internal, and or external. For this lab we had to do inline CSS which means the CSS must be in the HTML document by using style tags. The style tags were placed inside the head tags to make the coding more organized and not get confused on which goes where. After the style tags were placed I then proceeded to add all the CSS I wanted too in order to m...

Brian Velazquez                                                                                                                 Digital Design    During the College Career fair we attended instead of having regular class, we were given the oppurtunity to be able to talk to many different colleges and other organizations such as the U.S Marines, Army, and Navy. For this Fair we were expected to wear appropriate bussiness attire so we can look presentable to these professional colleges that we would talk to. After we arrived at the career fair we then were asked to walk around the place to the different college booths to talk to them about what they had to offer. Such as the majors these colleges fo...

As the system produced by the center is the fastest that has ever been created, maybe because the processors used are a Chinese developed processor known as Shen Wei rather then using commonly know processors such as Intel.  In order to reclai...
