Job Research

For my reseaarch I looked up Orthadontist, Therapist, Chiropractor, Athlete and Athletic Trainer. Except for Chiropractor, every job was higher in Michigan than in the US. I thought that was very interesting. I also think its interesting how some can be way different. Some were over fifty thousand dollars in difference and I think that is crazy!

Jobs
US Wages Michigan Wages
Orthadontist         $186,320                        $245,690
Therapist $71,760 $84,140
Chiropractor$79,550                        $ 69,530
Athlete $75,760 $197,030

Emerging Technology, Part 1

My article was about Light- Field Photography. This March brought the first major update to camera design since the dawn of cheap digital photography. It is a camera, that after you take a picture it allows you to adjustthe focus of the image. The cameras cost is around $399.99 and up.  The camera can  also record the angle at which rays of light arrive to the image. The end files aren't images but mini-databases capturing the 3D pattern of light, called a light field. From readin this, I can assume that in the future there will be way more high tech cameras, that can allow you to see things beyond imaginging now. It suprised me that the camera can focus the picture even after you take it.

Back in 2009, a man wanted to create software that was a do engine instead of a search engine. We definatly have that now. I even have it on my cell phone. Its called "siri" on iphones. All you have to do is say a command and she can do what you tell it too.
