Jean Hoerni

Jean Hoerni was born on September 26,1924. He was a famous inventor in Siwitzerland. He was known as the piorneer of his time fo his invention of the planar process.  It is what now know as the micro chip. The planar manufacturing process is used to build the transitor and connect transitors together. It is the primary process that we use to build integrated circuits. It is a of growing an oxide layer on a silicon substrate. To create this layer you must complete a series of etching and diffusion steps is then used to produce the transistor.
His invention still is used today. His invention has helped make computers smaller, with more data space on a single chip. We have shrunken computers the size of a room down to the size we see today, and in the future smaller because of his process. With out his invention, most of us would never use a computer, because of inaccessibility.

QR Codes

Once again, I am here talking about QR codes! YAY!

No, my phone isn’t able to read it, but I think my iPod can.

Personally,  I think that the QR codes are going to become more popular. They are easy to scan and only scanners can read it, and almost impossible to copy.  They would work for education because its interactive learning and most kids learn better that way. It forces kids to participate and read what the object is as they are looking at it. They could also be used at movie theaters. You just scan your ticket right before you enter instead of tearing it. It would be quicker, and it would save paper and help the earth.

My QR Code

This right here, is my very own QR code. I made this for my Online A class. Some devices (such as an iPhone or iPod touch (with a  camera)) can read these. They are becomming more and more common. Places like airports are using these instead of boarding passes. Just one swipe and you can get on, rather than ripping down the dashed line of the pass.  Some schools have even been using these more to help kids learn a foigen language or the bones of a body. These QR codes are becomming the "next big thing" people are claiming.

Music

So, I just made this picture. It represents my personality because (as mentioned before) I love to play music. It is the best thing in my life. This is what I do every time i can! The sixteenth and dotted eight note patteren is my favorite rythem to play. It is pink, because that is my favorite color.
