    I thought this article was really interesting after reading "As We May Think" by Vannevar Bush as another way to show how far we are coming with science that now Google is making contact lens that will measure Glucose levels in Tears. It is amazing to see how advanced we are with technology. #emac6300

    Amanda, having diabetes this is an awesome thing. I can't tell you how many times I wished for some other way to monitor my glucose levels without having to prick my finger. I've done it for years, but you only have ten fingers and it gets old pretty fast. I have to alternate fingers and hands to let the others heal enough to prick all over again. This is amazing and I'll be in line I'm sure when this product is actually released to the public. I just worry about cost, can an average diabetic afford this kind of technology and will insurance pay for it? Thanks for posting this! #emac6300

    You know, I was wondering about the contact itself. I use to wear contacts and if anything got under it, it was killer. It would irritate my eye constantly till I could get it out. How can the chip not bother or be noticeable to the wearer?That chip on the fake eye in the video looked pretty big, even bigger than the photo in the article Amanda provided. How could I see past it, how transparent could it be? Also, if the wearer uses saline to water the eye, does that mess up the tear glucose readings. Man, I have a lot more questions for the manufacturers and scientists behind this. I would love to be a tester for this product. #emac6300

    I have been fascinated with Complexity Theory and Complex Systems Science for some time now. The chemist Ilya Prigogine , a Nobel Laureate, is credited with pioneering research into this discipline and in 1971, based on his research, he applied his theories to vehicular traffic flow in his book Kinetic Theory of Vehicular Traffic .

    I hope I don't have to tell you guys "I told you so!" about Python vs. Java. Harvey Mudd credits the swtich to Python in intro coding as one of the key factors of success in increasing underrepresented groups in CS major!

identity community language pronouns narcissicm

  • But some linguists and music historians say the reality is more nuanced. For one thing, frequent use of "I" doesn't signal a haughtier sense of one's status but the opposite, according to James Pennebaker, the social psychologist who invented the text-analysis program used in the 2011 study of song lyrics. The higher a person's standing, the less frequently that person uses 'I' words, according to Pennebaker in his book, The Secret Life of Pronouns: What Our Words Say About Us.
  • People who tell the truth use the word 'I' more.
  • No, "we" isn't necessarily such a communal word after all. It often comes off as presumptive and exclusionary, and can be seen as one group speaking—out of turn—for others.

  • Even in science writing, where personal pronouns were once forbidden, some journals are now open to informal, active language—though "we" has gained acceptance more quickly than "I."
  • But if someone is saying something that happened to them and it resonates with your own experience, then you don't call it narcissistic. You call it poetry.
