Internet Innovations
"The internet changes the world"
E-commerce
Electronic commerce is how we buy things online.
The launch of amazon and ebay was in 1995. The two sites would come to define the web in the 1990's and continue to be leading sellers of goods online. Because of electronic commerce, whatever you can buy in a store, you can buy online. This impacts tons of different people in many ways. For example if you're too lazy to go all the way to the nearest best buy you can just order something online. Problems that this innovation solves everyday is that now with just a few clicks, we can not only find the best prices for travel, but also book our flight, hotel room, or renter car without any complications. I really like this innovation because when I am in need of items e-commerce has made life so much easier.

Augmented-Reality Helmet Could Give Cyclists Extra Eyes on the Road

This helmet gives cyclists a 360 degree view of the road. Cars have a rear view mirror, and now cyclists will be able to ride a bike and they can have the same feature that the car has but instead with the helmet. In addition, the helmet has a GPS navigator.

This helmet can impact anyone, even people who don't ride bikes.

This innovation will solve the problems that cyclists face on the road. It will help prevent accidents.

Ben Carson
Ben is a neurosurgeon and politician. He worked in John Hopkins Hospital. He performed over 400 surgeries a year.
He graduated from Yale University and then went on to the University of Michigan Medical School.
Obviously technology impacted his experience since Medical School is not just something you go through hands on, it comes with many technological resources.
I think what is incredible about this man is his education specifically as a Surgeon. I would say I don't like his homophobic opinions.

Computer Science Innovation
Automated screening for childhood communication disorders
This computer system could help identify subtle speech, language disorders in time for early intervention. The system analyzes audio recordings of children’s performances on a standardized storytelling test, in which they are presented with a series of images and an accompanying narrative, and then asked to retell the story in their own words.
This will obviously impact children with speech disabilities.
I really like that this innovation was created, it is nice that now children might be saved from these disabilities.

Send Passwords Securely Through Your Body Instead of Wi-Fi

So instead if relying on blue tooth signals, researchers have developed a system that uses the human body to securely transmit passwords. They have found a way to send the signal from a fingerprint scanner or touch pad through the body to a receiving device that is also in contact with the user. Since they are on-body transmissions they offer a more secure option than passwords. 

This will impact anyone who is very insecure about their business being invaded by others.

It will solve security and distance problems.

I think this innovation is cool and would like to try it myself. 

Internet Giveaway
The US government’s contract to control the internet’s ‘address book’ has expired after 47 years, transferring management of the Internet’s unique identifiers to the private-sector.
Four states have sued to stop Obama's Administration's Internet Giveaway.
