| how to use gadgets in save the world: Cultural Studies Goes To School David Buckingham, Julian Sefton-Green, 2005-08-15 In the context of the growing diversity of contemporary societies and the central importance of the electronic media, the place of popular culture in the school curriculum has become an increasingly controversial political issue. Based on in-depth research in an ethnically mixed, working-class secondary school, Cultural Studies Goes to School is concerned with the relationships between young people's involvement in popular culture outside school and their experiences of media education within the formal school curriculum. The first part of the book provides a detailed analysis of students' readings and uses of popular media, ranging from computer games and soap operas to comics and rap music. It offers a further challenge to received notions of young people as passive victims of ideological manipulation by the media and develops a social theory of reading that acknowledges the complex roles of gender, race and social class. The second part describes a number of classroom projects involving both critical and practical aspects of media education. Through analysis of students' work in a range of media, including photography, video and print, the authors develop a challenging theory of learning about popular culture and its place in the school curriculum. This book offers an exciting and accessible account of young people reading and making popular culture, which challenges many of the political claims and received wisdoms of academic Cultural Studies. |

| how to use gadgets in save the world: The Villain's Journey Valerie Estelle Frankel, 2021-12-08 The villain's journey is rare in popular culture--most characters are fully-formed tyrants with little to no story arc. However, a few particularly epic series take the time to develop complex villains, including Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Smallville, Babylon 5, Game of Thrones, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Increasingly, villains' origin stories have found new popularity through films like Wicked, Maleficent, and Despicable Me, alongside shows starring serial killers and Machiavellian schemers. This book examines the villain's decline and subsequent struggle toward redemption, asking why these characters are willing to cross moral lines that good characters are not. The first half follows characters like Loki, Jessica Jones and Killmonger through the villain's journey: an inverse or twisted version of scholar Joseph Cambell's hero's journey. The remainder of this book examines the many different villainous archetypes such as the trickster, the outcast, the tyrant, or the misunderstood hero in greater detail. Written for writers, creators, fans, and mythologists, this book offers a peek into the minds of some of fiction's greatest villains. |

| how to use gadgets in save the world: Who Knows Where Butterflies Die Pasha Parvaneh Hashemi, 2014-04-27 Who Knows Where Butterflies Die is a timeless story of the human spirit's desire for freedom Were made to believe that learning the alphabet or chemistry and mathematics and this and that is more important than learning how to act like humans. Yet, believe it or not, its humanity that would save the world. Humanity is what prevents revolution and war. Humanity is what prevents tyranny, famine, mass killing, and torturing one another. Its sad to know that external forces are leading people to lose the respect and understanding they used to have towards each other. With the never-ending invention of newer technologies, I feel that the world has fallen into a race to turn people to robots. Everyone seems to be in a competition to show off the latest gadgets in their hands, but they hide the quality of their hearts in their chests. With all the new developments that are pushing us into a deeper isolation, I dont know where were headed. I just know that thats whats leading us to a gradual, global self-destruction in many ways. Excerpt from Who Knows Where Butterflies Die Praise for Who Knows Where Butterflies Die An important and powerful story that brings awareness to the pain and devastation innocent families experience when mired in a homeland full of oppression, war, and revolution. Brock Tully, inspirational speaker and author of 9 books, including The Great Gift Who Knows Where Butterflies Die Its a must read.

| how to use gadgets in save the world: The Carbon Quest AQEEL AHMED, 2024-03-30 The Carbon Quest Theo wants to lower the world's carbon impact by setting up programs that offset carbon emissions. Summary The Carbon Quest is a fun and inspiring story about a young environmentalist named Theo who decides to take on the dangerous task of reducing the world's carbon footprint in order to fight climate change. The entertaining chapters of the story focus on Theo's commitment to protecting the earth and his creative ways of doing so. The book also talks about sustainability and how people's actions affect the world. Theo starts the story by putting a tree as his first attempt to reduce his carbon footprint after learning about how bad global warming is. This small but important action set him on the path to being more eco-friendly in the future. Theo, his friends Maya, and Jake, decide to work together and make the Green Team after seeing how helpful it can be. They want to make the whole town part of their environmental goals. As the story goes on, Theo and the Green Team go on a number of adventures, each one dealing with a different environmental problem. They are reducing water use, starting a recycling program to stress how important it is to recycle, installing a solar panel to learn more about renewable energy sources, and encouraging people to live in a more sustainable way by holding events like an eco-friendly festival, a clean-up drive, and a bicycle brigade to cut down on carbon emissions. The story shows kids how easy, everyday actions can help make the world a better place and how important it is to be environmentally friendly. Some problems come up along the way for Theo, but people want to help him because he is clever, persistent, and dedicated to protecting the environment. Through working together and using the community's resources, Theo and the Green Team show that even small acts can have a big effect. The Carbon Quest is a story about being strong, having hope, and how important it is to protect the earth. Seeing it reminds us that everyone, of any age, can help protect the earth and make the future more stable. Because of Theo's mission, kids want to become eco-warriors themselves, with information and the drive to make the world a better place. Chapter 1: Theo's Big Idea Theo was a small child who loved nature and liked to try new things. On a beautiful afternoon, Theo was reading a book in his comfortable room. He came across a part about climate change. The book explained how businesses, cars, and trees were putting out too much carbon dioxide, which was making the Earth too hot. Theo was sad and worried about things like people, animals, and forests on Earth. When he looked out his window at the pretty green trees swaying in the wind, he became very determined. He wanted to say, I want to help the Earth. I don't want it to get sick because of global warming. Theo thought about what he could do and remembered a lesson from school about how trees are good for the environment. Like Earth's superheroes, trees take in carbon dioxide and let out oxygen, which are both necessary for life. In addition, they clean the air, give animals a place to live, and block the sun on hot days. Theo had a great thought at that point. He said, I'll start by planting a tree! If one tree can do so much good, lots of trees can make a huge difference! Theo started his task with great enthusiasm. When he talked to his parents about his idea, they were very welcoming. They helped him figure out where in their backyard would be the best place for his first tree. Theo decided to adopt a young oak tree after learning that they are strong and can live for hundreds of years. Taking a deep breath and a spade in his hand, Theo jumped onto the ground. He used care to put the young oak in the hole, then smoothed it out and added dirt. When he watered the new tree, he felt like he was giving the Earth a wonderful gift. Theo's goal has only just started; he planted his first tree. He was sure that this tree would get big and strong, which would help clean the air and stop global warming. That being said, Theo knew that one tree wouldn't be enough to solve the problem. In his dreams, he would start other environmental projects and plant a lot more trees. Theo dreamed of a society where everyone worked together to protect the earth and make it a better place for all living things. Now that his big idea was taking off, Theo was ready to tell everyone about it and encourage them to do the same. His neighbors, friends, and teachers were going to hear him talk about global warming and how simple things like planting a tree might help. Theo's journey was far from over, but he was still eager to make his dream of a healthier Earth come true. His work to slow down global warming by doing things like planting trees to offset carbon emissions was a huge step toward a better future. Chapter 2: The Green Group Theo was excited to tell his friends about his plans for a better future after his first tree-planting project went well. He got together with two of his best friends, Maya and Jake, on a sunny morning. They shared his love of the outdoors and new experiences. He was very enthusiastic about planting trees and how even one tree could make a big difference in the fight against global warming. He also said that if everyone planted trees at the same time, the effect would be many times stronger. Maya and Jake were impressed by what he said, so they agreed right away to support Theo. Due to this, a group of friends formed the Green Team whose goal was to make their town as green and eco-friendly as possible. Before their quest began, the Green Team planned to put a lot of trees in their neighborhood. They knew this wasn't going to be easy and that it would take more than just their own work to really change things. They chose to ask for help from their friends, family, and neighbors. To start their big project, they made pamphlets and posters that stood out, came up with a catchy phrase, and even planned a celebration to plant trees. As soon as they got other people excited about making their neighborhood greener and healthier, a huge group of them joined in. Volunteers from the Green Team worked together to plant trees in parks, schools, and backyards on the weekends and after school. For them, planting a tree was a win and a small step toward their big goal. They put many kinds of trees, like fruit trees so that people and animals could eat them, maple trees for their pretty fall leaves, and oak trees because they are strong and last a long time. But they did more than just plant trees as part of their work. Along with holding recycling seminars and telling people to use less plastic, the group also gave tips on how to save energy and water. Things began to change in their town. More plants grew in public parks, empty lots were turned into bright community gardens, and streets with new trees added beauty and shade. People in the town started to feel good about their part in making the world healthier after they saw the change. People all over the world started working together to protect the earth because of the Green Team's idea. The Green Team's three main members—Theo, Maya, and Jake—were ecstatic when they won. They began with a simple idea, but by working together and not giving up, they were able to make things better. Their city was on its way to becoming the greenest in history, showing what can happen when people work together to reach a goal. The Green Team wasn't even close to finishing their mission, but they had already shown that when a lot of people work together, small things like planting one tree can have big effects. |

| how to use gadgets in save the world: The Capitalism Papers Jerry Mander, 2013-05-01 In the vein of his bestseller, Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television, nationally recognized social critic Jerry Mander researches, discusses, and exposes the momentous and unsolvable environmental and social problem of capitalism. Mander argues that capitalism is no longer a viable system: What may have worked in 1900 is calamitous in 2010. Capitalism, utterly dependent on never–ending economic growth, is an impossible absurdity on a finite planet with limited resources. Climate change, together with global food, water, and resource shortages, are only the start. Mander draws attention to capitalism's obsessive need to dominate and undermine democracy, as well as to diminish social and economic equity. Designed to operate free of morality, the system promotes permanent war as a key economic strategy. Worst of all, the problems of capitalism are intrinsic to the form. Many organizations are already anticipating the breakdown of the system and are working to define new hierarchies of democratic values that respect the carrying capacities of the planet. |

| how to use gadgets in save the world: AI, IOT AND MACHINE LEARNING BASICS Dr Aadam Quraishi MD, Dr. Brajesh Kumar Singh, Ismail Keshta, Dr. Haewon Byeon, 2024-12-30 The 21st century has ushered in a period of unparalleled technological developments, which have radically altered how we live, work, and interact with the environment that surrounds us. Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Machine Learning (ML) are three revolutionary technologies that are at the heart of this massive upheaval. These technologies are no longer something that will be developed in the future; rather, they are now influencing industries, spurring innovation, and building systems that are smarter and more connected. Since the advent of the digital revolution, the gap between the physical and virtual realities has been crossed. This has made it possible for computers to carry out activities, make judgments, and learn from data with minimum assistance from humans. The Internet of Things (IoT) links common devices to the Internet, artificial intelligence (AI) enables systems to imitate human intellect, and machine learning (ML) enables computers to learn from huge quantities of data to make predictions and improve performance over time. In a society that is becoming more and more dependent on intelligent solutions, understanding these technologies is no longer an option. Artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and machine learning have permeated every facet of contemporary life, from wearable gadgets and smart homes to predictive healthcare and driverless automobiles. What drives me: As will be explained in the chapter, the AI/ML-based Internet of Things systems are making significant contributions to the advancement of all areas of technology and society. As a result, gaining knowledge about these systems, even if it is in a general sense, would be beneficial to our growth even in our specialized areas. Because it has demonstrated its usefulness across all sectors and businesses, the potential that this technological combination possesses is not something that one can either ignore or choose to ignore. It will undoubtedly transform from a talent that can be added to one that is required in the future. In this chapter, you will get an understanding of the most popular 2 | P a g e terminology in the world of technology today, including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and the Internet of Things (IoT), as well as how these concepts interact with one another. In this course, you will learn about the rapidly expanding field of artificial intelligence-based Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and how these systems are utilized in everyday life to simplify our lives and enrich our experiences. Your perspective will broaden as a result of the numerous applications that will be discussed, particularly about how this technology may be utilized and how you can benefit from it. 1.2 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE We all now have a general understanding of artificial intelligence and how it works. To summarise the information that was presented in the introduction, artificial intelligence (AI) can be defined as a vast branch of computer science that endeavors to build smart entities capable of performing intelligent tasks without human intervention. In other words, AI is the simulation of human intelligence in machines, which grants them the capabilities to mimic and behave like humans. These entities are grouped under a single umbrella term known as Intelligent Agents (IA). If an entity can see its surroundings, comprehend it, and act upon it, then that creature is considered an IA. It is possible to perceive it as being composed of three halves. First, there are the Sensors in the system. It is a reference to the portion of the AI that is responsible for assisting it in perceiving stimuli from the outside environment. The Actuators are the second entity in the system. AI can include methods that create the required effects with the assistance of this. The third component of the agent is the Effector, which is utilized by the agent to exert its influence on the surrounding environment. Consequently, we can comprehend the idea of PEAS from this. Performance Measurement, Environment, Actuator, and Sensor are the components that make up PEAS. Using PEAS, we can gain a more in-depth understanding of Intelligent Agents, which in turn helps us develop more effective Rational Agents. A performance metric is a judgment of how well something is performing. Environment is a term that relates to the surrounding environment, which includes the entities that are doing the act. Actuators are the components or instruments that are essential to the operation of the mechanism |

| how to use gadgets in save the world: You Are Not a Gadget Jaron Lanier, 2010-01-12 A NATIONAL BESTSELLER A programmer, musician, and father of virtual reality technology, Jaron Lanier was a pioneer in digital media, and among the first to predict the revolutionary changes it would bring to our commerce and culture. Now, with the Web influencing virtually every aspect of our lives, he offers this provocative critique of how digital design is shaping society, for better and for worse. Informed by Lanier’s experience and expertise as a computer scientist, You Are Not a Gadget discusses the technical and cultural problems that have unwittingly risen from programming choices—such as the nature of user identity—that were “locked-in” at the birth of digital media and considers what a future based on current design philosophies will bring. With the proliferation of social networks, cloud-based data storage systems, and Web 2.0 designs that elevate the “wisdom” of mobs and computer algorithms over the intelligence and wisdom of individuals, his message has never been more urgent. |
