Two parts to predicting

Meteorologists use the two parts of predicting to predict the course of hurricanes

with the weather predictions people can prepare or evacuate if they should

Predictions are compared with what really happens

supercomputers are used to predict the course of hurricanes

Supercomputer are hope to predict earthquakes in the future

Seismologists use sensors to detects movements of the earth

Predicting earth will alow people to prepare for them

Scientists believe that DNA computers wll be develop

Large amount of data

Millions of calculations

A microscopic computer made of DNA will be able to travelthrough the body

These computers would repair cells that are damaged by cancer or other diseases

Predict effect on new treatment

Develop new drugs and treatments

Predict possible bad effects

Help doctors

Drugs are testing in animals before being use

Doctors would like to test drugs using computers

Clinical trial

Tasted on a small group of humans

an be dangerous

The robots were sopposed to work for 90 days althought they work for 15 years

The robot had

The robots discovered that ancient mars had water and hoot springs

Robot explorer designed to studie the rocks on mars

AGC was built to guide flights to the moon

was heavy

Apollo Guidance computers(AGC)

Slow and dificult to use

Flexible robot arm

Instrument to analyse rocks

Two video camera

Hammer

a microscope

real weather conditions are recorded

Algorithms predict how weather conditions will change
