What good is it to conduct microgravity experiments repeatedly when children are starving? Why launch so many sp

11、ace-related projects when nuclear war threatens our planet?This is a line of thinking that has been coming up throughout history. Yes, ifs short-sighted, in that it fails to recognize that our greatest problems require long-term investment, and that societys greatest advances come about through hard

12、 work, research, development of decades after that is made. Investing in science is investing in the betterment of humanity.Over these years, much of the results of the space research have been adapted to be applicable to our daily lives. For example, NASAs advancements in the areas of robotics have

13、 given manufacturers an additional basis for the development of more advanced artificial limbs. Additionally, certain nutritional enrichment ingredients that were developed by NASA have been integrated into baby food formula.Space technology has also helped improve economies. Within the next three y

It is true that for every dollar we spend on the space program, the US economy receives about $8 of economic benefit. Space exploration can also serve as amotivation for children to enter the fields o

However, I believe that it is important that we keep going forward or well risk delaying further discoveries and technological advancements that will be beneficial for us.4. According to paragraph 1

New technological discoveries have been delayed.The average age is rising around the world - a demographic （人 口）shift that may pose a significant challenge to efforts to control climate change.Hossein Estiri at Harvard University and Emilio Zagheni of th

19、e Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Germany have found that energy use rises as we get older and not just because we tend to get wealthier. The study suggests that a larger greying population would mean a greater proportion of society would be consuming more energy. They combined two

20、decades worth of data from thousands of U.S. households and used this to build a model to reveal how energy use varied across 17 age groups between 1987 and 2009. They found that, on average, childrens energy consumption climbs as they grow up, before dipping slightly when they leave home. Consumpti

The study found that in warmer parts of the U.S. energy use intensifies in people over the age of 65 probably as a result of th

This suggests that there is a feedback effect between climate change and an ageing population that will only make matters worse.Heatwaves have become more common in the U.S. in recent years and are expected to become more frequent due to global warming. More olde

25、s Estiri Benjamin Sova-cool at the University of Sussex. U.K, says the work shows the importance of demographics when it comes to cutting carbon emissions. Most modeling of climate change mitigation assumes peoples energy consumption either stays the same or only changes by a small amount over time.

26、“This study directly challenges that entire body of research by forcing it to solve the temporality and complexity of the consumption of energy.says Sova-cool.

In two decades, we might

31、talk about all of our appliances in similar ways.

35、data. According to Hagins, a modest 10,000 households have SmartThings installed. Together, those homes produce 150 million data points a day.14 As early as 2010, Siemens said it was capable of using its smart meters to learn some pretty incredible things about our energy usage: We, Siemens, have th

From that we can infer how many people are in the house, what they do, whether theyre upstairs, downstairs, do you have a dog, when do you habitually get up, when do you have a shower: masses of private data. 15One difference between data

37、-hungry businesses like Google and your future home network of Internet-enabled objects is that some of those devices may not need to talk to each other over the public Internet. If theyre connected to the same Wi-Fi network, maybe those devices wont need to transmit data across the Web. Utilize but

38、 keep the data within the home boundary, the Electronic Frontier Foundations Lee Tien suggested Keep the interesting variations within the home boundary.A. Securing that data is something that even big-name tech companies struggle with. So how do we fix that?B. Its not just that the consumers dont u

39、nderstand the technology,“ said Jeff Hagins, cofounder of SmartThings. Its also that the people building it dont understand it. Just because I know how to program doesnt mean I understand these vulnerabilities at alLThat raises another potential problem, though. If your home Wi-Fi password is all th

Such metrics make outdoor ads more 26 -driven, automated and measurable, argues Michael Provenzano, co-founder of Vistar Media, an ad-tech firm in New York.However, the outdoor-ad revolution is not 27 -free.
