Personal Website Features
Personal Website #1
This website had a large title in the middle of the page, working links at the top of the page, and obvious titles for each of the links. It was easy to navigate, though it took me a few minutes to figure out what the website was actually for. There were pictures as the background to ever page, which was interesting, but sometimes it made the text hard to read and the pictures changed for every page, as did the location of the text. There was also a space to contact the website owner, and an 'about me' page.
Personal Website #2
This website had a logo in the corner of the screen that remained there no matter which page you went to. The first thing that caught my eye was the big words in the center of the screen that tells you who the person is and what they do. The next thing I saw was the pictures of the person's products. This kept me interested in what the rest of the site was about, and gave a clear link to buy the product. The titles of all the links were clear and the links led directly to the pages. The structure of the website, including the background, remained the same through all the pages. There was a space to contact the website owner, and an 'about me' page. The text was large and very readable.
Personal Website #3
The first thing I saw on this website was the name of the company, and a picture of the owner. The text was a little on the small side, but there were pictures demonstrating products. There were lots of clearly labeled tabs that made the website easy to navigate. It was a little confusing at first what the website was for, but once I figured it out there was a lot of good information.
Personal Website #4
The first thing you see on this website are the large words and location in the center of the screen that define the company. There is a logo in the corner so you know the company name. There are only two tabs, but they are clearly labeled and provide good information. There are plenty of images in the tabs, which make the site interesting, and the headings are very clear as to what is going to be discussed. The first page is simple, but it doesn't give much information as to what can be found on the site. The text was a good, readable size.
Overall
All the websites had titles and/or logos to make sure the viewers knows what they're looking at, as well as an 'About Me' page with contact information. The best websites were simple with fairly large, readable text and not too many distracting colors or backgrounds. Everything pretty much stayed the same from page to page. There were also plenty of pictures to keep the pages interesting.

Stage 8
Stage 8
Challenge 1
The app would need the input of the current date and the date of Halloween. The app would output how many days until Halloween.
Challenge 2
The app would need the input of the student's location, the student's grade to determine which school they attend, and the location of the student's school. The app would output by turning off the ringer of the phone when the student enters school and turning the ringer back on when the student leaves.
Challenge 3
The app would need the input of the user's favorite color, the user's outfits, the user's planned activities for the day, and the local weather report. The app would output the recommended outfit for each of the user's activities planned for that day.
Challenge 4
The app would need the input of the user's location, the user's grade, the user's favorite TV shows, books, and movies, movie reviews, movie locations, and cinema locations. The app would then output a narrowed down selection of movies playing in nearby cinemas that fit your interests.

I find Olivia's post about Artificial Emotions in AI to be the most interesting. It is a new concept most people have never heard of, but it could be very useful in the safety and security of technology that can sense emotions. These are being prototyped in cars to sense people's emotion and hopefully help make them a safer driver based on emotions. There is also a robot out there that will sense emotions and can be used for companionship while they are going through a hard time. I don't think this technology will be very successful at the present time because people will be wary of robots and the chance that someone is always watching them. In the future I think this concept will be more successful because as technology progresses, people begin to get more used to having technology in every aspect of their lives.

3D Printed Vehicles
The company Divergent has been working on producing fully functioning 3D printed vehicles. At this year's Consumer Tech Show, the company displayed a prototype of the 'Blade' car and the 'Dagger' motorcycle. The car was presented as a fully functioning prototype with a copy of it's frame on display.
Purpose:
The intentions of a 3D printed vehicle is to improve the production of cars and other vehicles. The 3D printed vehicles are supposedly more sustainable than the current cars, and changing the process to revolutionize car making. The cars are produced using the 'Node' technique, which involves printing aluminum nodes combined with printed carbon fire. Using this process reduces the waste created by making cars as the company is using less materials, and the vehicles produced are lighter in weight than a typical car or motorcycle.
Future of 3D Printed Cars:
Future cars printed by Divergent will not be 'super cars' like the Blade, which can go from 0-60 mph in 2.2 seconds, but the concept that has been tested by this company is incredible. Divergent has proved that there is a way to make better, faster, lighter cars that are better for the environment. Once the company is able to sell these cars to the public, everyone will want to own a 3D printed vehicle.

Apple Airpods
Apple has recently release the Airpods: wireless earbuds that will connect to any of your Apple devices. The wireless headphones include a microphone that will pick up even the smallest sound and a wide range of volumes for however loud you want to listen to your music. The charging case holds 24 hours of battery life, and at full charge the Airpods will last for up to 5 hours. The charging case is sealed by a magnet, the same way the Airpods connect to the charger so losing your new earbuds will not be much of a problem. For some people, the Airpods never fall out while others have trouble keeping them in their ears.
Due to popular demand, Airpods are nearly impossible to find in stores and take well over a month to ship. At $159 the Airpods are expensive, but worth the money. They rarely lose connection and only skip occasionally while playing music. Just don't lose either of them because it costs $69 just to replace one earbud.
