Ben Carson
(1) This arete achievement was achieved by performing the first and only successful separation of Siamese twins, joined at the back of the head, conducting the first successful neurosurgical procedure in a fetus inside the womb, the first completely successful separation of type-2 vertical craniopagus twins, developing new methods to treat brain-stem tumors and reviving hemispherectomy techniques for controlling seizures.
(2) This arete achievement was earned by by graduating from the prestigous university of Yale, in which he majored in psychology. in 1987, Carson was the lead neurosurgeon of a 70-member surgical team that separated conjoined twins.
(3) Technology impacted this arete experience because throughout the course of the years technology has grown and so has the medical field due to technology. X-rays, which is a source of technology, helped the process of this srugery. The X-ray could have noted where he was going to start his surgery. This x-ray noted where the fragments were located.
(5) Reflection: I think this arete excellence is a great example of determination. His determination to attempt something with great hopes to it. Carson shows us that anything is possible if you try. You can expect failure if you decide to not attempt it. He also teaches us that education is key to success. With the more educatiom you expose youself to, the more acknowledgable you become.

760mph Trains
A. This innovation consist of a train hurtling down a tunnel at the same speed as a commercial jet airliner. This has been the goal of great organizations such as Paypal, Tesla, and SpaceX.
B. This innovation will impact those you like to travel but hate being in a car or train for hours. This Hyperloop system would transport train passengers travel at up to 760 mph through a vacuum tube, propelled by compressed air and induction motors.
C. It will the solve the problem of passengers getting from one place to another in many hours. The loop will ferry passengers between San Francisco and Los Angeles in 35 minutes, compared to 7.5 hours by train. People dont have to worry about waking up earlier because there trip is going o be far away. It would also be convenient to our economy. people will start using this as a source to travel in a short amount of period.
D,I think this innovation is great. I think i would be using it very consistently, maybe I would use it to go to work everyday. Its something that will allow people to go to a place in just 35 minutes compared to almost 8 hours sitting down. I personally love this idea and will also help our economy.

   

The Personal Pollution Detector 
A. This amazing detector helps to know about the air you're breathing. This device uses senors to evaluate the atmosphere in any given area-measuring factors like temperature, particulate matter (dust, pollen, mold, car exhaust ) and UV exposure.
B. This innovation will impact the society as a whole. It will also institutions like John Hopkins to conduct air-quality research. An innovation like this will make people more aware of the air they are being exposed to as well as their family that can later possibly cause healthy problems.
C. This innovation will solve the problems of having bad air quality into making our community a fresh environment. It will enhance the idea into professionals to invest in this situation that is living in big cities.
D. I think this innovation is something that will bring greatness into to this world especially in the community I live in. This device will not only sensor any harmful things in the air, but it will highlight the idea into important people out the to make a change.

What is The Internet Giveaway?

 The Internet Giveaway is the decision in which President Obama takes to give up U.S. protection of the open Internet. His administration is now considering how to give away power to other governments in which most want censored Internet. The main risk of government control is to root zone the Internet, that is protected by the U.S. government through its contract with Icann. Its goal is to replace the open Internet with full government control and global censorship. Congress has used budget bills to defund actions done by Obama administration to end the U.S. contract with Icann, through this past month. The Obama administration doesn't acknowledge that the open Internet reflects the American values of free speech and open innovation. The Internet of today wont survive if other governments get their way. So until there is a new president, its up to Congress to insist that the U.S. remains the source of Internet freedom.
                                                

Roger Bannister
(1) The excellence achieved through this Arete person was he was the first-sub-four minute mile runner. He had reached thus record with minimal training while practicing to become a junior doctor.
(2) This excellence was achieved when he became inspired by miler Sydney Wooderson's comeback in 1945. He started his running career at Oxford at the age of 17. In 1949, he improved in the 880 yards to 1:52.7 and won several mile races in 4.11. As his training grew as well as he did, he then was, on 6 1945 dyring a meet between British AAA and Oxford University and was in first place with finishing the final lap under 59 seconds.
(3) Technology was probably part of this arete experience by the use of stopwatches and tv to televise the event. Stopwatches was really important when it came to keeping track of each of the runners timing and knowing wher they need to improve on.
Reflection: I think Roger is a great example of not giving up even when he would always set himself new goals. Life is about living and learning that what roger is teaching us with his experience. All in all, Roger is a great example of what striving in life is regardless of what it can bring later.
       

RearVision Parking and App
A. This innovation is is a wireless camera and uses a smartphone as its display to help people who struggle with parallel parking.
B. This innovation will impact drivers who have trouble with parking. Anybody who is afraid of crashing into other cars and causing a problem.
C. It will solve the problems of people having accidents with even parking and having to waste more money on insurance. This type of camera will be beneficial to many people in that they know they can rely on these cameras for further experiences while driving. It might even make people more comfortable with driving without any fear.
D. I think this is a great innovation. I would strongly use this if i had problems with parking and being scared of crashing the car besides me. This innovation might cause a little problem because what if someone doesn't have a smartphone this innovation wont help them at all. It can be a problems for them because they know something is out there that can help them but they cant afford to buy it.

Mikaele Oloa
(1) The excellence achieved throughout this person was becoming the 2005 and 2006 World Fire Knife Dance Champion in Laie, HI. He is one of the youngest competitors to have ever won this title and has the capabilities to dance with up to four fire knives, which is incredible amazing!
(2) This excellence was achieved by beginning to dance at a very young age. This took lots of practice and dedication to obtain his titles. Through all this it probably took getting hurt here and there but it was for the love of his culture.
(3) Technology could have impacted this arete experience by announcing probably on air on radios and on social media so people in his community can be aware of his accomplishments. Technology could be a great source of spreading the word of someone like him that has astonishing skills.
                                   
(5) Reflection: I think this is a great example of persistent person who is willing to risk possibly his life through this skill. It also hows his pride for his culture and how he is also willing to do anything to keep it. From this arete experience I had to chance to obtain the idea that even skills like this can bring big accomplishments in your life. With practice and dedication anything is possible.
