USING COMPUTERS FOR DISCOVERY
PREDICTING NATURAL DISASTERS
Weather forecasting
Two parts to predicting
real weather conditions are recorded
Algorithms predict how weather conditions will change
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
Earthquakes
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
MEDICAL DISCOVERY
DNA
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
Computers models and medicine
Predict effect on new treatment
Develop new drugs and treatments
Predict possible bad effects
Help doctors
Animal and human testing
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
SPACE DISCOVERY
The eagle has landed
AGC was built to guide flights to the moon
was heavy
Apollo Guidance computers(AGC)
Slow and dificult to use
Life on Mars?
The robots were sopposed to work for 90 days althought they work for 15 years
The robot had
Flexible robot arm
Instrument to analyse rocks
Two video camera
Hammer
a microscope
The robots discovered that ancient mars had water and hoot springs
Robot explorer designed to studie the rocks on mars
