I believe that using the new software, the Facial Action Coding System, has promising application to use it is in a classroom to read the emotional expression of students in a classroom. So the teachers would know how their students is feeling, and how they are doing in class. The reason i agree with this new technolo...

Driverless cars are the future. Sergey Brin is the creator of the Google Cars. He believes such cars would fundamentally change the world. They are made to take people to where they need to go without them really even having to drive. The only time the person will need to take over is when the road ahead requires human...

Yes, I belive that we should use technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable. It seems like a good result to add to schools. Even more other than just schools people jobs and different areas. My reason for saying why we should use technology to read the emotional expressions of ...

Do you think driverless cars are safe?. Because I dont I feel that theres to much technology put into the cars. I feel like the speeds are going to be to fast for the car to control its self. And if there may have been a crash there would be alot of fighting over whos fault it was the cars or the drivers. These new dr...

Driverless cars could be the step toward a new world and new gerneration. The driverless cars are not always a good thing though, because people feel the freedom of driving and love driving. People also could have driver less taxi cabs, because of that over thousands of people would loose there jobs as a taxi driver....

It is in the best interest of the people that you do away with the Electoral College. When people vote, they want it to be a direct vote to the election, not a vote for their chosen candidate's electors. The Electoral College should be abolished because it doesn't guarantee your vote, the House's selection can't be exp...

The "Face on Mars" had been something that fascinated Scientist's at Nasa and conspiracy therorists alike. With the publication of the pictures, it brought up the question: Was it made by aliens? No, it was not, in fact it was just a nautral land form. The first picture of the "Face on Mars" was taken by Viking 1 spac...

Driverless car should not be aloud to be driven on the roads. They could mess up then the person that is sittind in the car might not be paying attention to what is going on.

The Face on Mars is just a natral landform. Why i say that because, aliens are not real and they can't create the landforms that were seen. If there where aliens then it would been more information found on NASA. If no human or thing cant't breath in space a alien shouldn't be able to breath there either. There would h...

I think that having the use of that technology in a class room. I think it would be a good idea because then teachers would know if something was wrong with the students and they could do something about it. Or if the students were not into the lesson the teachers was teaching and the teachers could try to change the l...

It sounds insane to even suggest whether or not to impliment a new system of computers taht can identify the emotions of students in a classroom. However, this is not because of the idea of the software but the absurtidy of truly modifying the education system around each individual student at once. It is beyond benefi...

I am for the development of these cars. The development of these cars would save our ecosystem drastically. It would be a great way to travel or get transportations.

Using this technology in a classroom would be valuable because if students weren't interested in what they're doing it could tell and could modify the work to make it more enjoyable.

Driverless cars are coming, should we let them? Well with the technology we have today why not? They would be benificial for our race.

A new source of technology haas been invented that has the power to enable computers to indentify human emotions. This is called the Facial Action Coding System. The first step of the computer is to construct a 3-D computer model of the persons face. This includes all 44 muscles on a human's face as well. They must mov...

The reason why I certainly beleive that this is a natural landform is because what it acually is reveiled to be is common on that planet. It is usuall to see stuff like that on that planet. That one just had shadows to make it look like a face. "the face" just looks different from the other martian mesa's. Some can ar...

Yes, the use of Facial Action Codying Stystem would be very useful for students in the classroom.

Driving a car has its ups and downs to life. It provides transportation, but it can also be very dangerous. Another issue with cars today is the amount of pollution that cars give off.

Based on what I've read some believe that there's a face on Mars, and it could be linked to extra-terrestrial life. But I don't find this to be truthful here's why. If you look at the picture from 1976 it can resemble a face, but if you look at the 2001 picture it just looks like a landform. Here's another thing, the o...

The author supports his idea really well. As he explains his idea he goes further in detail as to why Venus is a worthy pursuit even though there are many dangers that it presents. He goes further into detail by using things he researched out about Venus. In the 4th paragraph in the text it says, "Astronomers are fasci...

My thought on driverless cars is that they will or can be more safer so people dont get road rage.
