In my opinoin I think that the Facial Action Cooding System would be very valuable, for school purposes only though. For a few reasons, concering the fact some kids do not like to say things infront of their classmates. In the article it says "A classroom computer could regonize when a student is becoming confused or ...

Technology has helped numerous people throughout time. The works of a Facial Action Coding System could help with a great deal of situations. They could help students that do online schooling with being taught a different way. It could let people know what kind of mood someone is in without talking to them. Facial Codi...

There has been theories and plans for driverless cars for the future. Scientists have been researching for many years trying to find a way where cars drive themselves. That day has finally came, to a certain extent. These "driverless" cars still need the assistance of humans. So these cars cannot fully drive themselves...

Imagine being able to know a person exact emotions even if they are trying to hide them. A sotfware made by Thomas Huang can do just that! With just a simple look at your face it can detact all 44 major muscles. the sotfware is called Facial Action Coding System or FACS for short. Now if we could bring this in to the c...

The author sugggests that studying venus is benifical to us and can lead to many great things. But getting on to the planet and studying it might be harder then even getting to it.

The election should be by popular vote of the citizens not by government hired official with some group name to make them sound important.

This landform on mars does look like a alien face but is just another regular landform. It doesn't prove any aliens are on mars because it is another martian mesa with really good shadow placement to fool the eye.

Driverless cars may be coming in our future, but they most likely will not be commonly used. Driving a car run by a computer allows a number of problems to occur.

Technology is important in most students every day lives. We use our cell phones or maybe even our computers all the time.

I support driverless cars for many reasons. The main reason is safety. Another reason I support these cars is because they will be smarter and better drivers than an average person.

I think that the idea of using driverless cars in the future sounds unsafe because of risks of not using them with drivers.
