CYBERPUNK.....

The first time i ever heard about the word cyberpunk was in class last week and although we had an assignment on finding out the meaning of this word i was also very curious to find out. So here is what i found out.....:



DEFINITION OF CYBERPUNK 1: Cyberpunk is about expressing the negative intentions and ideas of humans, technology and their respective combination in the near future.





DEFINITION OFCYBERPUNK 2 : a writer of science fiction set in a lawless subculture of an oppressive society dominated by computer technology



In 1980 , Bruce Bethke wrote a little story about a bunch of teenage hackers and gave it the name CYBERPUNK. he got the name from the word CYBERNETICS;the science of replacing human functions with computerized ones, and PUNK; the cacophonous music and nihilistic sensibility that developed in the youth culture during the 1970s and '80s.



Before cyberpunk became established as a genre, it existed as "The Movement", a literary community of young writers disappointed with the state of the mainstream science fiction. The writers, most notably Bruce Sterling, Rudy Rucker and John Shirley exchanged ideas, short stories and articles through a newsletter called Cheap Truth edited by Sterling who remains the leading theorist and advocator of the genre.







*Here is the novel that started it all, launching the cyberpunk generation, and the first novel to win the holy trinity of science fiction: the Hugo Award, the Nebula Award and the Philip K. Dick Award. With Neuromancer, William Gibson introduced the world to cyberspace--and science fiction has never been the same.

FUTURE FORCE WARRIORS

Future Force Warrior (FFW) is the Army's flagship Science and Technology initiative to develop and demonstrate revolutionary capabilities for the Future Force Soldier and Small Team. A human-centric, integrated system of systems approach is being employed to support the Army transformation into a soldier centric force. The FFW is a major pillar of the Future Force Strategy, complementing the Future Combat System (FCS) and other Future Force programs.


Future Force soldiers
To better equip its soldiers, the U.S. Army is developing an advanced infantry uniform that will provide superhuman strength and greater ballistic protection than any uniform to date. Also, using wide-area networking and onboard computers, soldiers will be more aware of the action around them and of their own bodies.

Suiting Up For Battle

With the development of a bionic uniform for its soldiers, the U.S. Army is planning for a change in the logistics of war. Integrated physiological monitoring, enhanced communication and augmented physical strength will give the soldiers of the future the tools they need to overwhelm their opponents simply by donning a hi-tech suit.

Battlefield Awareness The value of enemy reconnaissance depends on how quickly that information can be relayed to the soldier on the battlefield. The soldiers of the future will have more information immediately available to them than ever before.

The Future Force Warrior setup is a significant improvement over current systems. A computer embedded in the suit and located at the base of the soldier's back will be connected to a local and wide-area network, allowing for data transfer. DeGay explains it this way:
"Essentially, it's what we call the "borg" effect, to borrow a theme from Star Trek. Everything in the battle space is a sensor, whether that's a vehicle, rotor wing, fixed wing, aviation vehicle, ground vehicle, individual soldier or unmanned robotic platform. That becomes a sensor that I can track for data. I can send data to it or take data, video or audio from it."

Soldiers will utilize a voice-activated, drop-down screen in the helmet to access information without having to put down their weapons. Embedded in a pair of transparent glasses, the display will appear to the soldier as a 17-inch screen. This screen can display maps and real-time video provided by a forward-positioned scout team or aircraft. According to DeGay, "We are working to have the graphic user interface inside the computer systems to either replicate computer graphic user interfaces or even Playstation 2/Xbox graphic user interfaces," because most of today's soldiers are already familiar with how those systems work. Not only will Future Force Warriors know more about their fellow soldiers, but they also will know more about their own physiological condition. The physiological subsystem of the uniform lies against the soldier's skin and includes sensors that monitor soldier's core body temperature, skin temperature, heart rate, body position (standing or sitting) and hydration levels. These statistics are monitored by the soldier and by medics and commanding officers who might be miles away. Knowing the condition of a platoon of soldiers allows commanders to make better strategic decisions. The Future Force Warrior helmet also includes a GPS receiver, providing commanders with exact positioning data on their troops.

ALICE ONCE AGAIN

Talking to alice conveyed the enormous significant truth which is that human beings are the most intelligent, and no creature, specifically any new technology can beat them.In Fact God created men,which means that human beings are on a different ralm than other creatures. Deep inside, beofre talking to alice, the artifical intelligent robot,i was ver excited, and i thought it would be a geat accomplishement. However, my feeling wasnt true and i felt stupid somtimes when talking to her,especially when she says"IM PROGRAMED TO SAY SO".Being Programed by a professor is the best evidence to prove that any Artifical intelligent cant function alone without us humans to make it think and work.Therfore, as as i talked to her i can say that no intelLigence can beat humans who have the full ability to analyze,interpet,and give logic answers to any hard question could be asked.

EXOSKELETON PRODUCTS!

Morphing Man and Machine
What the exoskeleton program at DARPA plans to do is turn ordinary soldiers into super-troops who can leap tall objects and run at high speeds. This program is still in the early stages, so details of these wearable machines are still very vague. However, DARPA has set some expectations for these exoskeletal machines. Here's what researchers expect exoskeletons to do for soldiers:
Increase strength - Soldiers will be able to carry more weapons and supplies. By increasing strength, soldiers will also be able to remove large obstacles from their path while marching. It will also enable them to wear heavier body armor and other ballistic protection. In the 1960s, General Electric and the U.S. military co-developed an exoskeleton, named Hardiman, that made lifting 250 pounds feel like lifting 10 pounds.
Increase speed - An average human walks 4 to 6 mph, but soldiers are often expected to carry up to 150 pounds of supplies in their backpacks. Even the best-conditioned troops cannot go very fast carrying that much weight on their backs. It's not certain how fast DARPA's exoskeleton will be able to move. An independently developed body amplifier, the SpringWalker, has been tested at speeds faster than 10 mph (16 km/h).
Leap great heights and distances - It's unclear just how far or high soldiers will be able to jump wearing mechanical suits, but officials would like the machine to give soldiers the ability to leap over obstacles that would ordinarily slow troops down.
Overall, soldiers will benefit from increased endurance when marching long distances over unpredictable terrain. With increased strength, they will also be able to repair heavy equipment that would otherwise be impossible to repair. Experts expect fewer casualties because of increased body armor.

These exoskeletal machines would also be equipped with sensors and Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers. Soldiers could use this technology to obtain information about the terrain they are crossing and how to navigate their way to specific locations. DARPA is also developing computerized fabrics that could be used with the exoskeletons to monitor heart and breathing rates.

If the U.S. military has its way, it will have throngs of super soldiers that can jump higher, run faster and lift enormous weight by strapping these exoskeletons to them. However, developing these devices is expected to take years, if not decades. In the next section, you will learn about some of the obstacles that face researchers charged with developing these exoskeletons.

OUR FIRST CHAT WITH ALICE BOT!!!

Talking to Alice was a bit suprising, because after we spoke to alice we realized that, that wasnt what we expected after all. Alice turned out to be not a clever robot at all. there are many questions she couldnt answer and we thought that alice had to know everything. she had many general knowledge informations but when it comes to deep questions like feelings or question involving human reasoning she never answered.also d suprising thing in alice is that whenever she wants to runaway from a question she cant answer she always tells me "lets talk about my dress". its so weird how a robot who knows its a machine and cant answer questions involving humans can have a dress.thats really funny!!!!!!whenever we ask he a question she cant answer she always referred of her being programmed and this shows how limited she is.
