His discovery on how not all brain cells have the same genetic code and how this will help find a solution to brain disorders such as epilepsy and schizophrenia is really incredible. I also find it impressive that he found out how to decode the genome of an individual with neurons from cadavers and mapped the origins of the mutations he found. Very surprising that he managed all of that. This will probably hep a lot of people too, as well as researchers. Plus he has a beard so that automatically makes him cool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123329717980057951.post-11601513957145104422015-10-09T13:32:22.707-07:002015-10-09T13:32:22.707-07:00I think Zakir Durumeric is the coolest because, af...I think Zakir Durumeric is the coolest because, after learning how to hack any computer connected to the internet, he decided to find a way to fix it so they couldn't be hacked, instead of doing something malicious. He was able to hack into bank safes, ATM's, and power plants, among other things, and instead of doing something like taking money or whatever else he wanted to do, he decided to inform people and website owners how to fix these bugs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123329717980057951.post-62991030854941190232015-10-08T07:40:58.154-07:002015-10-08T07:40:58.154-07:00I pick Zhen Gu and just because I am diabetic.

It is such a cool idea and the way it works is creative to say the least. Injecting is time taking and cumbersome, and can be painful just imagine sticking a patch on your leg or arm and being on you way. No messy bags, no needles or pens, no pumps to worry about, and no getting caught out at 10 o'clock at night by a police officer with a bag full of syringes! (not fun) The way he is planning on solving this problem is different, creative, unique, and cool. That is why I chose Zhen Gu.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123329717980057951.post-87882028606269628442015-10-07T09:30:05.138-07:002015-10-07T09:30:05.138-07:00I pick Zhen Gu and just because I am diabetic.

I think one of the most interesting of the innovators was Rikky Muller, who made an invention that zaps the brain at correct times in order to fend off certain mental disorders. This caught my attention mainly because I am slightly interested in things like mental disorders, and the fact that this invention helps to keep them away is interesting because there can be a lot of good that can come from reducing the number of people that have a mental ailment that would be halted because of the device. The tech is now used clinically and it is theorized that it can pinpoint seizures in the brain, which in certain situations might possibly save someone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123329717980057951.post-53349409416222189572015-10-01T14:33:39.085-07:002015-10-01T14:33:39.085-07:00Duygu Kayaman is really interesting because she ha...Duygu Kayaman is really interesting because she has a really significant disability and she's still successful.

At the age of 34, Her life might not have seemed interesting but it became more than just interesting. On November 2013 she recieved a call that was going to change her life couse from a awesome job at google to a awesomer job at the White house. And dont forget this was at 2am by the White house! Like that would be crazy! When this called was taking place, They had asked Kim to help manage Healthcare.gov for people that didnt have health insurance. She had made a site to help them get insurace. After long amounts of time, She had enrolled 8 million people get health insurance. She has wasted a marathon of hours and all of it for all these people and that seems like a miracle to me.

One of the problems that still around today is limited literacy. People with limited literacy don’t have the ability of obtain information like everyone else. Srivastava can change that with his idea. With Voice and gestural interfaces people with limited literacy can easily figure out what they need to know. Another good thing about Srivastava’s idea is that it could also help the medical business. In Srivastava’s recent work he helped with a system that showed pregnant women that might have medical problems with free tests or services. Srivastava’s idea can help a lot of people with reading/writing and help the medical business.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123329717980057951.post-52606409231024021862015-09-27T18:51:56.914-07:002015-09-27T18:51:56.914-07:00I think Travis Deyle is the coolest, because he ca...I think Travis Deyle is the coolest, because he can build robots that can be controlled wirelessly that can defuse bombs without risking someones life and it can be used for war or even helping old people get around safely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123329717980057951.post-21503414034278977492015-09-27T14:40:08.143-07:002015-09-27T14:40:08.143-07:00In my opinion, one of the coolest innovators is Ja...In my opinion, one of the coolest innovators is Jamie Shotton. He worked with developing a way for computers to distinguish between different objects like separating a sheep from a field. He was able to work with Microsoft on creating the Kinect while it was in its early developmental stages. That would be a dream job for me. Also, as our society gets deeper and deeper into a fully automated world, it would be important for it to distinguish between an empty background and a person. This kind of technology is being applied towards the Microsoft HoloLens and will probably be put towards technology in the future.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123329717980057951.post-70184804787393005122015-09-27T08:04:27.437-07:002015-09-27T08:04:27.437-07:00I think the coolest innovator there was was Richar...I think the coolest innovator there was was Richard Lunt. He has invented invisible solar cells that we can use in place of regular solar cells if the right amount are used. They may have a smaller charge than regular solar cells making it not to so great for everything but a few phones and small devices that are able to use them effectively, but these cells are able to be place right on a screen so that they absorb energy for the phone anywhere. He is working on making them much better than they are now so they can be used for more of our electronics and be more useful for larger devices. I think he is paving a new road for a different kind of energy use that may even be good for the environment. I'm sure many more are trying to expand on the idea and invention of these invisible solar cells to find a new way to use solar energy.

While there are many great innovators and innovations that they are involved with out there, a great one is Stripe. This is because it gives people a secure way to make online transactions. In my experience, I have bought quite a few products online, whether they are digital content or just ordering something to be delivered to my house. It is great and different from others because it allows for businesses to have a form of transactions for their online products, while keeping the customers’ and businesses’ banking information safe. This is important because nobody would be willing to purchase stuff online if they could have their payment information stolen, and that would just ruin the online market, which has a huge part in the overall economy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123329717980057951.post-28099215656509501592015-09-26T19:42:12.306-07:002015-09-26T19:42:12.306-07:00I believe that Yunji Chen is the most impressive, ...I believe that Yunji Chen is the most impressive, because he not only entered collage at 14, but is trying to further human technology and artificial intelligence by taking the massive, expensive technology Google has and simplifying it so that the everyday smartphone can be as smart, much like my grandfather.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123329717980057951.post-36447643925269479872015-09-26T17:57:19.816-07:002015-09-26T17:57:19.816-07:00Out of the list of innovators, Zakir Durumeric is ...Out of the list of innovators, Zakir Durumeric is the most impressive beccause of his practical pursuit of internet security.

I have always been a fan of space and space travel, so for someone to think of a way to fix one of the biggest problems with space travel, cost and litter. He thought up that, it would be a lot cheaper if we could reuse rockets, instead of dumping them in the ocean after launch, then it would be a lot cheaper. So with the necessary software and an ocean platform, He made a way for the rocket could land backwards on the ocean platform, which sounds nearly impossible,(based on my experience with Kerbal Space Program), that's impressive.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
