Winning MIT design for Hyperloop passenger pod revealed by Elon Musk
The article is about a new mode of public transport called the hyper loop that can travel at speeds of 600mph. The new transport is being tested in California on a mile test track currently being built by SpaceX. However a problem is getting the pod to stop again.
- Hyperloop will begin testing in 2016
- Elon Musk to build the test track
- The hyperloop between LA and San Francisco
In my opinion this will be a good mode of transport so long as all the problems are sorted out and it is 100% safe for the public to use. It however shows the advancements in technology are rapid.
The article is about how new technology available to police allows them to scan a persons identity and look into there records including internet searches and social media posts to determine a threat level allowing them to put them on a list labelling them as a potential threat to society.
- Real Time Crime Center
- processing “billions of data points, including arrest reports, property records, commercial databases, deep web searches and the [person’s] social media postings”
- officers can know at a glance what level the threat is: green, yellow or red.
In my opinion this is a invasion of privacy and is not fair to label people for crimes they have not committed and may never even commit by just looking at their internet searches. It is an example of how technology is being used more and more to invade peoples privacy.
