EQ-Radio
The EQ-radio is a device that detects a person's emotions using wireless signals by measuring subtle changes in breathing and heart rhythms, EQ-Radio is 87 percent accurate at detecting if a person is excited, happy, angry or sad. 
This could impact anyone for now we would know how a person really feels without us having to ask.
Possible problems that it could solve is figuring out if a person has anxiety, or depression, or post traumatic disorder.
I like this innovation and would like to try it on my self to see if it really works and to try it on my friends.

Mikaele Oloa
1) He became the World Fire Knife Dance Champion in 2005-2006. He is the youngest competitor to have won the title.

2) He began training with his father at the age of five.

3) I think technology could have impacted this in the way that instead of knives being on fire they could be like glow sticks but then it honestly wouldn't be as cool.

5) I think the life lessons we can learn from this is taking risks to achieve something great are definitely worth it.

Computer Science Innovations

A. Electric Bus can travel 350 miles on a single charge. It is able to complete a full day's work without needing to be recharged. 

B. I think this innovation will impact travelers and bus drivers.

C. I think it will solve the problem of wasting gasoline.

D. I think this innovation is cool and hopefully the next step would be a car.

Nathan Sawaya 

1) He's an award winning artist who creates works of art out of legos. 

2) He began making art out of Lego pieces in 2002.

3) I think legos are a part of technology because of the skill it takes to have them make something

Perfect Memory Camera

This is a wearable camera that allows you to capture moments that you might have missed. It is a 12 mega-pixel device that's pocket size and light-weight. With a tap of its touch screen, it can record video, audio, and is capable of full-high definition 1080p video. 
This can impact anyone whether they have an interesting life or not.
Problems it may solve could be like something really exciting, or important could happen for instance and you probably wanted to save and cherish that moment and with the perfect memory camera you won't miss a thing. Also in case you were the victim of a crime now you have all the evidence on one camera.
I really like this innovation and would like to have it for myself because there are so many moments in my life that I wish I could rewind.

Alex Hattori

1) By the age of 15 years old, Alex Hattori is crowned the top double yo-yo player in the nation, has his own sponsor, his own trading cards, and his own line of yo-yo's.

2) He started playing with yo-yo's at the age of 11 in middle school. By the time he was 12, his skills earned him the title of America's junior national yo-yo champion.

3) I think technology impacted this excellence because of the creation of a yo-yo.

4) Image result for Alex Hattori 2016

5) I feel this this excellence must have taken so much practice, more of his time was consumed perfecting his skills at the yo-yo than anything. I could never ever do this. It probably took energy and patience and I lack both of those.

Computer Science Innovations
Magic Picture Frame

A. An invention called the "slow dance" frame opens a window into what it might look like to see things in slow motion in the real world. When you put something in the frame, the movement of the object appears to happen at a fraction of their normal speed.

B. This will impact anyone who is fascinated by slow motion someone who actually cares about the rate that things move.

C. I don't think this innovation will solve any problems except for if anyone wants to see the slow movement an object really bad because it might move too fast for your eyes to see like i wish i could rewind life all the time.

D. I think this innovation is cool because I have always wanted to see a cinnamon roll being unrolled in slow motion that would really satisfy me.

                     Carl & Margaret Karcher

Carl and Margaret started their own restaurant business that sold hot dogs and tamales. They later founded Carl's Jr. Their restaurant quickly grew and they opened several more restaurants numbering 100 by 1974, 300 by 1981.

I think technology could have impacted this because what if there was a machine created to get the burgers done faster.

I think I'm grateful for this excellence because I love the spicy chicken burgers from Carl's Jr. The lesson of life that I learned from this example is that one can always turn something small into something bigger if you work hard to expand it.

"Computing enables innovation in nearly every field"
Liquid Crystal Display 

This is the technology used for displays in notebooks and smaller computers, it is made of liquid crystals activated by electrical current.

This innovation will impact everyone that utilizes it because it is a flat panel display that uses LCD which is a screen that's more energy-efficient and it is flat enough to hang on a wall. 

Problems that I think this innovation would solve would be the weight since it is light it will be much easier to carry around.
I think this innovation is cool.
