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

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

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
