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.
A new computer system can automatically screen young children for speech and language disorders and, potentially, even provide specific diagnoses.

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.

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.
