Google's Digital Activism : Ocean of Google

It is a strange story in a way. One day, a Texas gal from a ranching family falls in love with the ocean. She loves the water and the underwater world, and she has a life-changing 45-minute underwater encounter with a cuttlefish on the size of the thumb. Octopi are cephalopods, and scientists believe they could be smarter than us, some researchers believe fringy, cephalopods could be aliens from outer space or divine beings. Anyway, if you're going to depend to a cephalopod for 45 minutes, you are probably going to have to what the Texans called "a seminal moment." It changed her life.

Over a period of 35 years, she has over-water and underwater journey from the Texas Panhandle, they are taken to Micronesia to Polynesia and the Caribbean, coastal management, economic development and research. Now it is a digital activists together to save our seas. Her name is Charlotte Vick, and she is the curator of the ocean layer in Google Earth.

 To understand what is Google Ocean, download Google Earth, a free application that runs on your computer and allows you to fly around the globe like Superman or Wonder Woman. It's pretty hard to describe without actually experiencing it, but it is a little strange when you dive and fly under the water, kind of like Aquaman. Once you swim around in your virtual sea you will find, nestled in the middle of water, videos and photos and articles from the likes of National Geographic, Lindblad Expeditions, which have been Cousteau Society, and Dr. Sylvia Earle contributed.

Self driven car developed by Google


Google been on the rolling through long time for great green transportation alternatives and at last world great Google announcing their investment in the Schweeb just over a week ago, news just arrived with the famed company has secretly been developing an autonomous, self-driving car. Still in its early stages, the car project has already set out a small fleet of vehicles across California roads that utilize an artificial-intelligence software able to sense anything near the car and make equivalent decisions made normally by a human driver. While the thought of mass-production in the coming months is a bit premature, this revolutionary idea could give way to incredible environmental and experiential benefits. Engineers behind Google’s project say that the technology could both double the capacity of roads by allowing cars to drive more safely, comfortable and efficiently while closer together; but also allow for cars to be built lighter, in turn reducing carbon costs and fuel consumption.

Autonomous cars are years from mass production, but technologists are sure that the idea will revolutionize the world. Not only do robot drivers react faster than humans, but they have 360-degree perception and don’t get distracted, sleepy or intoxicated behind the wheel. But don’t think that you’re blindly hopping into a machine with a mind of its own – the car would also actively engage its “driver” making announcements like “approaching a crosswalk” or “turn ahead,” which engineers say would alert an individual if a master control system detected anything amiss with the various sensors. Control of the car would also still exist, where regaining power would simply mean doing one of three things: hitting a red button on the dashboard, touching the brake or turning the steering wheel.

Google has reported, thus far, they’ve driven their fleet of smart vehicles over 140,000 miles around California, challenging the car to city traffic, leisurely neighborhood rides, and most impressively, on Highway 101, the freeway through Silicon Valley where the car was able to nimbly accelerate in the entrance lane and merge into fast-moving traffic. This vehicle however is not a thrill-seeker. For the more vigilant “driver” the Google’s new system would boast the option of being programmed to different driving personalities — from cautious, in which it is more likely to yield to another car, to aggressive, where it is more likely to go first.

Flights Suspended : Due to Spirit Airlines Pilot Strike


Spirit Airlines is Florida of America based. For compensation amount the Pilots are in ongoing strike. A reservation agent of Spirit Airlines told to media that all the flights of weekend are suspended already for this crucial condition.
