HOPE is an education laptop personal computer. HOPE stands for
Home
Organized
Personalized
Education. HOPE is a
portable school that includes
education courses and
lessons from
preschool through
high school. The
instructions are self teaching, self testing and
personalized for
each students
learning styles
and learning needs. The mobile
school will also include an
Education Management System. The student will
know what subjects they need to learn, know why they need to learn certain
subjects,
know when the best time to learn certain subjects, know how to
learn and
know
the best way to learn certain subjects, and know where they will use the
knowledge and information in
real life situations. The goal of the
curriculum is to develop
intelligence and give the student the necessary
skills that are needed to be
prepared for the challenges of life. The
education management system will also help students to be aware of how
much they learned so far and how much more they still need to learn in
order to graduate, or to continue their education in college, or in
business, or in service. The student will learn at there own pace and
speed, and
they will always be aware of their personal progress. The hope pc will be the
students
personal education companion for life. Their education can also
be backed up in the cloud, so that the student can access their education
from almost any location on the planet, and also transfer their education
to another laptop pc if the original laptop pc was damage or lost.
A computer that
teaches. A computer that
learns.
A computer that
tests your
abilities
and
manages your education progress. A
computer that
communicates and
translates.
A computer that
stores your favorite
tools and
media.
A computer that stores
educational
knowledge and
information.
A computer like the one
between your ears,
the one with
endless
capabilities.
Hope PC is still in development
as of 2024. More research and development is needed.

Education Software that is self teaching and self testing with an
Interactive Teaching Avatar that helps direct and
manage a students education progress from preschool through high school.
Education Software will include all the curriculum and interactive
courses, videos as well as college ready courses. Avatar will help manage
students time on the device so that the student is aware of the importance
balancing school with the responsibilities of life, like eating healthy,
exercising, resting, sleeping, reading, exploring, learning, communicating
and measuring physical skills. The goal is to have the student learn
self-regulation.
Avatar will know the age of the student so that it can calculate the level
of education and knowledge that the student should have, and also protect
the student from things they might not yet understand. Students will learn
the right things at the right times, and they will understand why
prerequisites are important.
Interactive teaching avatar can be personally customized by the student.
An Avatar can be modified to be a man or a women and also change the
clothes, skin color, hair style, voice and language. Student will type or
say their name so that the Avatar will speak their name correctly when
needed. Education Software will be most effective when used on a custom
Laptop with touch screen, camera, microphone and stylus pen to will help
analyze writing skills. Laptop will use encryption and have other safety
features. Students will also learn skills on how to be safe. The software
will have several modes to choose from. Learning Mode, Teaching Mode, Game Mode, Work
and Responsibilities Mode, Test Mode, and a few other Custom Modes that can be personally
modified to fit the students needs and unique learning styles. The student will
also choose an interactive style that best fits their needs, creating an
engaging learning environment. Setup Process and Student Account
Information: Students name and other information is recorded and entered
into the Avatars memory. Students information will also be backed up using
portable memory and a cloud server. After initial setup of the Avatar, the
computer will reboot, and when the computer turns back on and the system
loads and the
Avatar greets the student by their chosen name. Avatar can
recommend choices for the student, or the student can choose for
themselves from several options using Touchscreen, Mouse, Voice
Recognition or a Search Box. Students will be paid for the information
they share. As the
student
learns they will earn money for their personal needs, such as clean
water, healthy food, clothes, energy, shelter, medicine and so on.
Students will also choose the information they would like to share. (Opt
out by Default). Students will be notified when and why their personal
information was used and who has used it. Students will be paid for right
answers they get and also get bonuses for progress and milestones.
Education Software will have two versions: Free Version (students will be
paid to learn) (funding provided from numerous resources). Advanced
Version (price will vary depending on High Tech Sensors and Software
installed).

Using TechnologyStudents will
never have to worry about missing class or worry about taking a few
days off from school, because every Hope-PC student will always know where
they left off and will always have the ability start learning again when
they are ready to return.
Learning loses will not
happen because students will always be at a learning advantage.
They will learn twice as fast, learn twice as much and learning will be
twice as effective as other schools.
Decentralized high

Mission:
Design education curriculum for children who don't have access to schools
and teachers, using a touchscreen laptop computer that has an
artificial intelligent teaching avatar that helps and
guides the student to learn valuable knowledge and information and also
how to understand everything on the computer. Eventually the student will
be able to teach themselves without using a computer, so that every
student is free to learn anywhere in the world and learn anything they
want. Education Software will include a complete education
curriculum for every level of education from preschool all the way through
High School. Software that self teaches and self tests. The education software will
exceed the current education standards, but will be much easier to learn
and people will learn much faster. The Hope PC will
augment the
education process and make teachers jobs a lot easier.
Imagine a Laptop Computer filled with all the
educational curriculum from Grades K through 14,
with Courses and Tests.
Now imagine that same laptop filled with information, audio and
video lessons, books,
textbooks,
encyclopedias,
documentary films, compressed movies,
farming knowledge,
sustainable living knowledge,
nutrition knowledge,
hygiene knowledge,
eco-system knowledge,
child development knowledge,
human brain knowledge and so on. People can also test themselves with
intelligence tests, skills tests,
eye tests,
hearing tests,
video games,
reading tests and so on. Part
open source public education and part
public domain
knowledge base. And if there's internet service, people will also be
able to search the Internet for more
information and knowledge. Internet service
will also give access to
news,
TV & entertainment,
music, and
libraries. And the best part of
the internet is being able to give the student 24 Hours a day
video assistance from
tutors and
educators, kind of like the
mayday
button from Kindle and
information stations, each laptop will have a
smartphone and an
instruction manual.
It will be like having a Life

human operators
manual that doubles as an Education and Science Tool Kit, and
as well as an Entertainment Tool Kit.

Why the Hope PC is Needed
57 Million Children Worldwide without access to
Education, over one third lives in settings of conflict and
fragility (UNESCO, 2015). Well over half of 1.4 million Syrian refugee
children and adolescents are not in school (UNICEF, 2016). This does not
include the Billions of people who are undereducated by an
inadequate and
dysfunctional education system.
Wars stops 13 million children from
going to school in Middle East and north Africa, UN says.
Chronic Absenteeism. More than 6 million
students are "chronically absent." students are way more likely to fall
behind and eventually
drop out.
Today, more than
263 million children
and youth around the world are out of school and at least 330 million
children are not learning basic skills. Of these, 61 million children
remain out of primary school and 102 million teenagers are not attending
secondary school, missing out on
vital basic skills needed for
future employment.
Children struggling at school entry more likely to face disadvantage at
age 16-17. Children who were behind in their development at age 4-5
were almost three times as likely to have been out of education,
employment, or training at age 16-17, analysis of pupil data has found.

Democratic Education is an educational ideal in which
democracy is both a goal and a method of instruction. It brings democratic
values to education and can include self-determination within a community
of equals, as well as such values as justice, respect and trust.
Democratic education is often specifically emancipatory, with the
students' voices being equal to the teacher's.
The goal is to make a high quality education that is self
directing,
Plug and Play, or Plug and Learn. This way anyone can be a
teacher, and anyone can be a student. Whether you're a high
achieving student or a student who is struggling. And anyone can test
themselves. So
testing will not hold you back, testing will keep
you moving forward. Learning at your own speed, learning in your
own time, and learning in your own way. Testing will be only a
guide, testing will not be used as a judgment of your potential.
Testing is a tool to measure understanding, and testing is not a
measurement of your ability to understand; So wrong answers are
just temporary until you find the right answers.
But just knowing the right answers does
not mean that you have all the answers. So remember,
testing is only a guide, it is not a judgment of your potential.
Getting wrong answers is still progress, because you now know
which answers are wrong, and why they are wrong. This is
progress.
As soon as the student understands knowledge and information,
they will never stop learning, because they will understand the
benefits and the potential that comes from acquiring important
knowledge and information. Increased intelligence will not just
be a benefit to the student themselves, but they will also be a
benefit everyone around them.

Once a child,
parent, teacher or student learns how to use the computer they could then
educate themselves and learn in their own chosen environment. Then of
course anyone who learns how to operate the computer can eventually teach
other people, children, teachers or parents on how to use the computer to
educate themselves and others. Self replicating, self perpetuating, self
regulating and constantly updating. And when a person learns how to build
other similar computers from parts, then the delivery mechanism for
information and knowledge will multiply.

Improving Education is now my passion in life and
my most important goal. There is nothing more important to this
world then education. My whole life
I have been searching. I
have
always been asking questions. Throughout my life I have met
all kinds people and
I have traveled to many distant places. I
went through many changes and experienced many moments of
despair.
I have made many mistakes and I have made many bad
decisions. I have flirted with death, so I am extremely
fortunate, lucky and thankful to have lived this long. I have
worked 100's of different jobs, but felt no real purpose. But it
all changed in 2007 when I disconnected my TV. I started to
educate myself.
I finally became aware. I realized how little I knew of myself
and how little I knew about this world.
This was my epiphany. It all made sense. Everything in life is
in someway connected to education.
All my experiences now have meaning and purpose. And
if it were
not for the internet, and all who contributed to its vast
resources of knowledge, I would have not been able to acquire
the necessary knowledge and information that has enlightened me
and inspired me to pursue this project.
And of course the invention of the computer was the main vehicle
that helped this realization happen. Making the internet and the
computer the main catalysts that helped to spawn this epiphany.
So it only makes sense that the PC and the internet will be
major components of this project.
This will be my life's work. I don't believe in retirement,
I
only believe in redefining purpose.
You cannot deny destiny, you can only embrace it.
Catalyst is something that causes an important event to happen.
Reactions
that occur faster and with less energy.
Since January 2009 I
have started finding information and ideas on how to improve
education that would make education more effective and
comprehensive. I have also started putting together some
Educational Resources and Websites
to help accumulate the best knowledge and information that the
world has to offer. It still shocks me that most students spend
12 years in school and come away with very little useful
knowledge. 100's of millions of students
desperately need a higher quality and a more thorough education.
Education is not just a humans most important asset, education
is the greatest instrument for Health, Happiness and Prosperity.
The sheer lack of access to a higher quality and a more thorough
education is the cause for most of the problems this world is
faced with today. Mostly because people cannot make good
decisions or make the right choices without correct sufficient
knowledge. We cannot afford to wait for schools to improve and
for our teachers to become good quality teachers. We have to use
more then one way to fix this problem. We have to use all of our
resources and abilities. Providing PC Laptops for people, filled
with knowledge, is one way to accomplish this.
I love the
One Laptop Per
Child and the
Class Mate
PC but I want to take it to the next level. The One Laptop
Per Child PC is great for children of ages from 3 to 6 years old. The
Classmate PC is great for children ages of 6 to 10 years old. Both of
these PC's have great qualities and have opened the door to some really
great ideas on how a Laptop PC can help improve a child's educational
experience. But I want to make sure that we have the next generation of
Learning Laptop PC's ready. Laptops that are faster with more memory and
more capabilities so that the students hunger for knowledge and learning
are not hampered in anyway.

Every Company, Government,
Community and Person must have a cause that they are dedicated
to. I see no other cause more important then education, and not
the education that we have in our schools today, I'm talking
about a more comprehensive education that gives every human the
life skills and knowledge that is needed to live and be a
positive influence.
Health, Happiness and Prosperity is not a
dream, it is a goal, and the main goal of a quality and thorough
education.
The laptops will be
expensive, but if we don't educate humans properly and
effectively it will end up costing the world much more than
money could ever buy. So this is totally worth the investment.
Every Human has questions that need to be answered, and every
answer needs to be explained in more then one way so that everyone can understand.

measures nine on the Mohs scale, just behind diamond. So expect
Sapphire-clad devices to fare better in your purse or occupied pocket than
gorilla glass or dragontrail.
Gorilla Glass is a brand of chemically strengthened glass developed
and manufactured by Corning, now in its sixth generation, designed to be
thin, light and damage-resistant.
Gorilla Glass and Dragontrail glasses are both alkali-aluminosilicate
glasses, both very
hard and tough
glasses. Both these glasses are scratch resistant and are very difficult
to break.
Dragontrail is an alkali-aluminosilicate sheet glass engineered for a
combination of thinness, lightness and damage-resistance, similar to
Corning's proprietary Gorilla Glass. The material's primary properties are
its strength, allowing thin glass without fragility; its high scratch
resistance; and its hardness – with a
Vickers Hardness Test Rating of 595 to 673.
Chemically Strengthened Glass has increased strength as a result of a
post-production chemical process. When broken, it still shatters in long
pointed splinters similar to float glass. For this reason, it is not
considered a safety glass and must be laminated if a safety glass is
required. However, chemically strengthened glass is typically six to eight
times the strength of float glass.

Rugged Computer
is a computer specifically designed to operate reliably in harsh usage
environments and conditions, such as strong vibrations, extreme
temperatures and wet or dusty conditions. They are designed from inception
for the type of rough use typified by these conditions, not just in the
external housing but in the internal components and cooling arrangements
as well. In general, ruggedized and hardened computers share the same
design robustness and frequently these terms are interchangeable. Typical
environments for rugged laptops, tablet PCs and PDAs are public safety,
field sales, field service, manufacturing, retail, healthcare,
transportation/distribution and the military. They are used in the
agricultural industries, and by individuals for outdoor recreation
activities.

light through a small transparent lens, but some newer types of projectors
can project the image directly, by using lasers. A
virtual retinal
display, or retinal projector, is a projector that projects an image
directly on the retina instead of using an external projection screen.
Video Projector is an image projector that receives a video signal and
projects the corresponding image on a projection screen using a lens
system. All video projectors use a very bright light to project the image,
and most modern ones can correct any curves, blurriness, and other
inconsistencies through manual settings.
Slide
Projector is an opto-mechanical device for showing photographic
slides.
Projection Screen is used for displaying a projected image for the
view of an audience.
Overhead Projector is used to display images onto a
projection screen or wall.
Projection
is the shining of light through a film or electronic equivalent so that an
enlarged version of an image is shown on a screen or wall. The
representation of a figure or solid on a plane as it would look from a
particular direction.
Screencast is a digital recording of computer screen output,
also known as a video screen capture, often containing audio narration.
The term screencast compares with the related term screenshot; whereas
screenshot generates a single picture of a computer screen, a screencast
is essentially a movie of the changes over time that a user sees on a
computer screen, enhanced with audio narration.
Projection Mapping is a
projection technique
used to turn objects, often irregularly shaped, into a display surface for
video projection. These objects may be complex industrial landscapes, such
as buildings, small indoor objects or theatrical stages. By using
specialized software, a two- or three-dimensional object is spatially
mapped on the virtual program which mimics the real environment it is to
be projected on. The software can interact with a projector to fit any
desired image onto the surface of that object. This technique is used by
artists and advertisers alike who can add extra dimensions, optical
illusions, and notions of movement onto previously static objects. The
video is commonly combined with, or triggered by, audio to create an
audio-visual narrative. In recent years this technique has also been
widely used in the context of cultural heritage as it has proved to be an
excellent edutainment tool thanks to the combined use of a digital
dramaturgy. Although the term "projection mapping" is relatively new, the
technique dates back to the late 1960s, where it was referred to as the
Madame Leota effect, video mapping, spatial augmented reality, or shader
lamps. One of the first public displays of projections onto 3D objects was
debuted in 1969, when Disneyland opened their Haunted Mansion attraction,
which featured singing three-dimensional busts. The singers' faces were
filmed on 16mm film and projected onto busts of their faces to make the
busts appear animated. Another early example of projection mapping was in
the 1967 TV movie Magical Mystery Tour during the Blue Jay Way scene,
where images were projected onto George Harrison, including a cat's face
and a headless male torso with the words "Magical Mystical Boy" written on
its chest. After the object which will be projected on is chosen or
created, software is used to map the corners of the video to the surfaces.
First, one must choose the images or video to project. Then, place each
video on to its designated surface. Alternatively,
one may
choose to map the entire scene in 3D and attempt to project and mask the
image back onto its framework. The next step is defined as "masking,"
which means using opacity templates to actually "mask" the exact shapes
and positions of the different elements of the building or space of
projection. In 3D Mapping, coordinates need to be defined for where the
object is placed in relation to the projector, the XYZ orientation,
position, and lens specification of the projector have to result to a
determined virtual scene. Projection Mapping is similar to video mapping
and
spatial augmented
reality. Let’s say you plan on putting your projector on the sidewalk
in front of your house and your sidewalk is 30 feet away. At that
distance, a standard throw projector will produce an image about 20 feet
wide. The resolution of the projector determines how sharp the projected
image will be. A bright projector will make the difference between a
murky, dark image, and a crisp clear one. We highly recommend that you go
with a projector that has a traditional Halogen bulb rather than LED.
Spatial Augmented Reality is augmented
reality based on
projection, which is a new
technology that can produce immersive contents by overlapping
virtuality and
real-world environment. It has been paid attention as the next generation
digital contents in media art and human–computer interaction.

Teacher Avatar - Personal Teaching Assistant - Education Manager
Each HOPE PC will have a
Artificial Intelligent Virtual
Animated Teaching Avatar that will guide the student through
all the subjects and lessons, as well as help each student operate the computer programs when
needed. The Teacher Avatar will encompass all the best qualities and
skills that every teacher should possess. A teacher that is unbiased. The student may modify the
avatar and choose male or female, body type, nationality and clothing
styles. And if the student prefers a
real
person or a
tutor to communicate with, then the
student can do so with the built in
webcam and an internet connection.
The AI Teacher will monitor the students learning styles and select the
most
effective learning methods based on their previous measured learning
success rate. The AI Teacher will also monitor the students best memory
retention times, so that their learning schedule can be adjusted to fit
the best times that they learn most effectively. The AI Teacher will also
monitor the students progress and make recommendations on how to reach
their
education goals, allowing students to go at
their own pace. The AI Teacher will periodically give feedback to the
student and also recommend lessons based on the student's previous work
and immediate needs. One of the main goals of the AI Teacher is to promote
intelligence.

Adapting GenAI for the next generation of learning. A new study by
learning analytics researchers presents key considerations for generative
AI (GenAI) educational tools so they are carefully developed to support,
rather than replace, human learning. Key considerations included
understanding how to use GenAI to enhance human learning while fostering
skills for critical thinking and self-reflection in humans to effectively
partner with GenAI.
Adaptive Learning
uses computers as interactive teaching devices, and to orchestrate the
allocation of human and mediated resources according to the
unique needs of each
learner. Computers adapt the presentation of educational material
according to students' learning needs, as indicated by their responses to
questions, tasks and experiences. The technology encompasses aspects
derived from various fields of study including computer science,
education, psychology, and brain science.
PyTorch
is a
machine learning framework based on the
Torch library, used for
applications such as computer vision and natural language processing,
originally developed by
Meta AI and now part of the
Linux Foundation
umbrella.
if we can create an
algorithm that can
give you video suggestions based on your viewing history of the films you
watched, then we can definitely create an algorithm that can give you
subject suggestions to study based on what
subjects you have already
learned and been tested on. And the goal of the algorithm will always be
to guide the student towards
intelligence. So no matter what path the
student takes using the education software, the student will still end up
being intelligent after finishing all the courses.
Learning Pathway is described as the
chosen
route, taken by a
learner
through a range of
e-learning activities, which allows them to build knowledge
progressively. With learning pathways, the control of choice moves away
from the tutor to the learner.
Interactive
courseware aids learners to access information and tools by which they
can construct personalized transitions between the information to be
accessed and their own cognitive structures. The process of
navigation enables learners to experience the content
of interactive courseware. Learning pathways also reveal the learning
trails while learners traverse any interactive environment. Since learners
have unique knowledge structures based upon their experiences and
abilities, the ways that they choose to access, interact, and interrelate
messages in interactive courseware also vary. Studies on pathways help us
to explore and explain human behaviors during learning processes. Learning
Path as the ideal sequence of learning activities that drives employees to
reach proficiency in their job in the shortest possible time. In the
Learning Paths methodology a Learning Path is created for the entire job
done by an employee. By looking at learning as a complete process rather
than a single event, a Learning Path enables employers and employees to
find new ways to drive out time, waste and variability in training which
leads to improved results and reduced costs.
Learning Management System is a software application for the
administration, documentation, tracking, reporting, automation and
delivery of educational courses, training programs, or learning and
development programs. The learning management system concept emerged
directly from
e-learning. An LMS can
help identify training and learning gaps, using analytical data and
reporting, as well as, create automated assessments and assignments for
learners, with dashboards to track student progress or user progress.
Students will be able to exchange feedback with teachers and their peers.
LMS allows developers to continually enhance the software and better adapt
the software to their user base. LMS is adaptable and always improving,
updating, learning new behaviors quickly, and adjusting to a changing
society. LMS also provides students with disabilities better opportunity
to access quality education. LMS can also create discussion groups to
allow students feedback, share their knowledge on topics and increase the
interaction in course. Students' feedback is an instrument which help
teachers to improve their work, helps identify what to add or remove from
a course, and ensures students feel comfortable. LMS delivers and manages
all types of content, including videos, courses, workshops, and documents.
teacher can add text, images, videos, pdfs, tables, links and text
formatting, interactive tests, slideshows, etc. Moreover, they can create
different types of users, such as teachers, students, parents, visitors
and editors (hierarchies). It helps control which content students can
access, track studying progress and engage students with contact tools.
Teachers can manage courses and modules, enroll students or set up
self-enrollment.
Educational Management refers to the administration of the education
system in which a group combines human and material resources to
supervise, plan,
strategize, and implement
structures to execute an
education system. Education is the equipping of knowledge, skills, values,
beliefs, habits, and attitudes with learning experiences.
Application Performance Management is the monitoring and management of
performance and availability of software applications. APM strives to
detect and diagnose complex application performance problems to maintain
an expected level of service.
Intelligent Software Assistant is a software agent that can
perform tasks or services for an individual. These tasks or services are
based on user input, location awareness, and the ability to access
information from a variety of online sources (such as weather or traffic
conditions, news, stock prices, user schedules, retail prices, etc.).
Improving AI's ability to identify students who need help. Researchers
have designed an
artificial intelligence model that is better able to
predict how much students are learning in educational games. The improved
model makes use of an AI training concept called multi-task learning, and
could be used to improve both instruction and learning outcomes.
Robot helps students with learning disabilities stay focused. There is
great potential for using robots in the public education system. Besides
introducing the session, the robot set goals and provided self-regulating
strategies, if necessary. If the learning process was getting off-track,
the robot used strategies such as games, riddles, jokes, breathing
exercises and physical movements to redirect the student back to the task.
Preschoolers prefer to learn from a competent robot than an incompetent
human. Researchers at the Cognition and Language Development Lab
tested three- and five-year-olds to see whether robots could be better
teachers than people. Researchers found that preschoolers prefer learning
from what they perceive as a competent robot over an incompetent human.
This study is the first to use both a human speaker and a robot to see if
children deem social affiliation and similarity more important than
competency when choosing which source to trust and learn from.

Meet 'Coscientist,' your AI lab partner. An artificial
intelligence-driven system has autonomously learned about certain Nobel
Prize-winning chemical reactions and designed a successful laboratory
procedure to make them. The AI did so in just a few minutes and correctly

that a non-organic intelligence planned, designed and executed this
complex reaction that was invented by humans.
Better coaching to promote a person's growth. New research suggests
more effective approach -- for managers, therapists, teachers and parents.
What if there was a more effective way to coach and inspire your
employees? Athletes? Students? Even your kids? A new study suggests there
is. Their newly published work used neuroimaging to peer into the brains
of participants as they responded to two different styles of
coaching. The researchers
wanted to see what happens in the brain that either helps people grow or
causes them to resist change.
Trainee teachers made sharper assessments about learning difficulties
after receiving feedback from AI. A trial in which trainee teachers
who were being taught to identify pupils with potential learning
difficulties had their work ‘marked’ by artificial intelligence has found
the approach significantly improved their reasoning. A trial which used
artificial intelligence to train new teachers to spot potential learning
difficulties in pupils found that the approach significantly improved
their assessment skills. 178 trainees assessed six fictionalised pupils
for potential signs of conditions such as dyslexia and ADHD. Half received
feedback in the form of a pre-written 'expert solution', while the others
received feedback from AI. In a subsequent test of the quality of their
reasoning when predicting potential learning difficulties in pupils, those
who received the AI feedback scored 10 percentage points higher than the
other group. The researchers suggest that AI may therefore be an effective
substitute for close, personal feedback on teacher training programmes
when training these skills, if one-to-one support is not available.

Programmed Instruction is learning material in a
kind of textbook or teaching machine or computer. The medium presents the
material in a logical and tested
sequence. The text is in small steps or
larger chunks. After each step, learners are given a question to test
their comprehension. Then immediately the correct answer is shown. This
means the learner at all stages makes responses, and is given immediate
knowledge of results.
Reward-Based Learning
Computer-Based Learning is the
term used for any kind of learning with the help of computers.
Computer-based learning makes use of the interactive elements of the
computer applications and software and the ability to present any type of
media to the users. Computer-based learning has many benefits, including
the advantage of users
learning at their own pace and also learning without the need for an
instructor to be physically present. (
Ai Avatar -

learning is also known as computer-aided instruction. Computer-based
learning can be used in Problem-solving training,
Creative and instructional games,
Simulation-based learning,
training and Knowledge-based training and assessment. There are many
advantages associated with computer-based learning. It provides more
learning opportunity for people from disadvantaged environments. People
can learn at a pace comfortable for them,
unlike in a traditional
classroom. Users need to spend only the required time to learn the
subject in the case of computer-based learning, and it is also available
all the time. Computer-based learning is cost effective in many ways, as
it reduces travel time and also the same application can be used to teach
new students or users. The learning also offers safety and flexibility as
well as helps learners to track their progress. Another big advantage is
in the reduction of overall training time.

Schools are about having a place for learning
for the people who live near the school. But every school has a limit to
how many students that they can teach and be responsible for. And not
every student attends school. Though most schools can be almost any size
and be almost anywhere, schools are a designated physical location. And
every school varies in quality and every school varies in teaching
effectiveness. Every human on earth has the god given right to have a good
education. And if for some reason a student can not get to a good school,
then the school should come to that student. And this school should always
be with the student where ever they are and this school should be with the
student for as long as they want to be together. A laptop computer with an artificail intelligent teaching avatar would be a great tool for any
student. And this digital school can also be be it's own social network.
No one should feel lonely or feel alone when going to school. Learning
should be a social experience as well as a personal journey. And learning
should always be available to everyone, where ever they are.

how this PC should operate, I will then look for
Investors and volunteers to
help distribute the Laptops to everyone who needs them, starting
with the less fortunate people who have limited means or have
limited access to good schools, which happens to be almost every
human on the planet. Sponsoring a child just took on a new
definition. And if each person who receives the PC promises to
share it with others we can help educate more people even
faster.
Forth Step would be training thousands of teachers and
people how to use and maintain each PC. Then those people would
train other people how to use and maintain the PC. Each person
who receives training would receive their own PC and repeat the
process. A test, similar to a drivers license test would be used
to determine if a person is allowed to operate and own this PC.
Of course this is just a guideline to help deter theft and abuse
and will most likely be modified depending on the needs of
people. Each person who receives this PC must also fully
understand the responsibilities that come with having an
extremely important and powerful tool. Some of the first people
to get these laptops will be teachers so they can use the PC as
a teaching tool. Teachers would also be able to determine what
students would benefit the most from having their own laptop.
Mothers will also be first in line to receive these laptops.
Mothers know the importance of education and deeply care about
their children and their future. I will also work on a

candidates so that anyone with a thirst for knowledge can
receive a laptop that would help advance their learning
capabilities. But of course it will take more then a pledge or a

The information station will also
be a website with the exact same features so that anyone can
use it anywhere in the world and also be able to familiarize

the IS would match the text, voice and symbols of that language.
Have an

And then show symbols like water, food, shelter, health,

stations at bus stops and other public transportation areas. The
IS could also have a solar panel roof so that it does not have
to depend on external power,
will also have a

Digital Forest Animals or photo slide show, images of public art
or even a short movie. The Screen will
display a continues movie of fish swimming by, and when you
touch a fish it will tell you its name and the locations where
that fish can be found around the world. Also display estimated
numbers. The same concept with animals. Where birds and other
land animals walk by or fly by in slow motion and when you touch
the animal it will tell you everything about the animal.
We have to make information

Laptops for Hospital Patients
When I visited my father in the hospital a saw him watching TV
and thought how depressing and wasteful it was. Instead of TV
hospitals should offer laptops to patients so that they can
educate themselves about their condition or disease and also
keep learning, working and stay connected to family and friends.
They can also watch their favorite program or movie at their own
time without disturbing other patients. So

favorite activities, favorite sports, and anything else they can
digitize. Of course the jump drive would be

USB Flash Drive
is a data storage device that includes flash memory with an integrated USB
interface. USB flash drives are typically removable and rewritable, and
physically much smaller than an optical disc. Most weigh less than 30
grams (1.1 oz). (also variously known as a USB drive, USB stick, thumb
drive, pen drive, jump drive, disk key, disk on key, flash-drive, memory
stick or USB memory).
Non-Volatile Memory is a type of
computer memory that can
retrieve stored information even after having been power cycled (turned
off and back on). The opposite of non-volatile memory is volatile memory
which needs constant power in order to prevent data from being erased.
Flash Memory wears out after being programmed and
erased about 10,000 times.

Technology Warnings - Effective Uses
Technology is an incredible tool, and
an amazing extension
of our
intelligence,
but that's only when technology is used
effectively and
efficiently. Technology can save time, but
technology can also
waste time. Technology can connect us, but technology can also
disconnect us. So the problem is not technology, the problem is
education. We need an education that teaches students effective
ways on how to use technology effectively, efficiently and
productively. People need to understand what technology is,
and what technology isn't.
Remember ‘Technology’ is just a tool. The major problem with
technology is that there are
not enough qualified people who are skilled enough to know how
to use
technology effectively and efficiently or is there enough
experienced people who have enough skills to teach others how to
use technology effectively and efficiently. And of course this
means that there are not enough knowledgeable people to fully
understand the potential of technology, or know when to implement
its use. Just like any tool, if it’s not used properly it will
not help. And if you don’t
teach people how to use tools
properly, then those tools will be wasted just like every other tool
in human history. We train and educate people so that they can
drive cars safely and productively. So who’s training people how
to use computers and cell phones safely and productively? And
just because
people are wasting technology
or
misusing technology
and
abusing technology, this does not mean that
technology
is not helping
civilization. So technology by itself cannot fix our enormous
problems like poverty, starvation and education. Incompetence is
not the fault of technology, it is the fault of poorly educated
humans. And to use technology to say that technology is not
helping is not just
contradictory, it’s completely ignorant. Don’t blame the
tool or the technology. Blame our education system that fails to
teach students basic skills, knowledge and proper behavior. A
laptop can’t teach everything to a child, but it can help teach a
child who has no teacher or no school, as long as they know how
to use the PC effectively and efficiently.
It boils down to
maximizing our actions and fully understanding our best choices
and using our tools effectively.
So communicating this
information and knowledge is extremely important. You have to be
clear when showing people the ways they can help. And
technology
can definitely help speed up this process. This is why every
HOPE PC will
have instructions on how to use technology effectively and
efficiently. The easy to understand instructions will be in a
video format and in writing. One of the responsibilities that
technology needs to have is to
teach the person how to solve
problems without using technology. Technology will give you the
answer, but it should also show you how the answer was obtained.
You don't want technology to replace your brain, because when
the
technology is gone or not working, then you will not have
the necessary brain power to
solve problems on your own, a
problem that could save your life. Avoiding
dependencies will make you less vulnerable.
Using
voice activated
software to search the internet should also be secondary. Hearing
words is not as effective as reading words because you can analyze words
more carefully when reading them verses just listening to words. Plus you
don't want to encourage people not to read and write. Some technology
tools are more beneficial to people with disabilities, and less beneficial
to
people without
disabilities.
Forbidding cellphone use in class shows how
ignorant schools are. Schools don't want to teach young people about how
to effectively use technology, or how to use technology productively.
Schools would rather control student behavior with regulations, than
provide education to students so they can learn how to control their own
behavior, without being subjected to abusive regulations that do more harm
than good. Trying to control ignorance with more ignorance, will leave
everyone ignorant.
AI Fears -
AI Warnings

Black BoxThe Internet does not
change the brain, it's how you use the
internet that changes the
brain, which could be good or bad depending how you use it, like
everything else in the world.
People can remember their
experiences, but they seldom remember what they have learned
from those
experiences. We gain knowledge all through our life,
but most people choose to remember only their experiences, and
they remember very little of what they have learned during and
in between those experiences. We are not using our brains the
way we should, just like when we misuse technology, it does more
harm then good. You inadvertently reduce the benefits of having
a brain, a
brain with incredible memory capacity and processing
abilities. If you are to teach only one thing to a student, it
would have to be
the power of learning. Our most prized asset is our mind.
Schools need to seriously rethink what knowledge and skills
students need to learn, and when they should be learning them.
Cognitive Offloading is the tendency to
rely on things like the Internet as a
memory-aid. Spending less time
consulting our own
memory to recall
things could diminish our memory and
the
power of our own brain. Just like any
dependency or
addiction, there
are consequences, with this one being diminishing brain power, which is
extremely dangerous. But of course
we
can't remember everything or remember every little detail, especially
things that are
irrelevant. So not all offloading is bad.

If I'm
using my smartphone to look up useless information, then that's a good
thing. It's when I have to look up valuable knowledge and information that
I should already know and remember, now that's a bad thing. So technology is good,
human
ignorance is bad.
Like the problems with
standardized testing, because
propaganda comes
in all kinds of forms. And we also know that
memory errors and
memory flaws are nothing
new. So
it's all relative.
The Google Effect is an inclination to forget low valued information
which we can easily find online, so there is
no incentive to memorize
it, but that all
depends on the information of course. It's best to
save important information and write down the most important information,
becuase
knowledge preservation is
extremely important.
Digital Amnesia
is when people tend to forget information that can be immediately
retrieved from a digital device. Writing something down information will always help
you to remember it, and writing something down will always help you if you
forget it. Store the good stuff in your brain, and store important details
on a
reliable medium. "

Distributed
Cognition is when cognitive processes may be distributed across the
members of a
social group.
External Memory in psychology is the opposite of
internal memory. When
a person uses something beside his/her own internal memory tricks, traits,
or talents to help him/her remember certain events, facts, or even things
to do, the
person is using an external memory aid. External memory aids
are used every day. A large part of these aids come from technology;
people use their smartphones to remind them when they have meetings and
Facebook reminds people of their friends' birthdays. These aids also
include taking notes in class, carrying a grocery list to the supermarket,
or jotting down dates on a planner. Even people, or prompters, can be used
as external memory aids. Try not to
transfer your
responsibilities.
Internet Culture is the culture that has emerged, or is emerging, from
the use of
computer networks
for communication, entertainment, and business. Internet culture is also
the study of various social phenomena associated with the Internet and
other new forms of the network communication, such as
online communities,
online multi-player gaming, wearable computing, social gaming,
social media, mobile apps,
augmented reality, and
texting, and includes issues related to identity, privacy, and network
formation.
Technology and Society refers to
cyclical co-dependence,
co-influence, and
co-production of technology and society upon the other (technology
upon culture, and vice versa). This synergistic relationship occurred from
the dawn of humankind, with the invention of simple tools and continues
into modern technologies such as the
printing press and
computers. The academic discipline studying the impacts of science,
technology, and society, and vice versa is called science and technology
studies.
Critique of Technology is an analysis of
adverse impacts of
technologies. It is argued that, in all advanced industrial societies (not
necessarily only capitalist ones), technology becomes a means of
domination, control, and exploitation, or more generally something which
threatens the survival of humanity.

Just because you are given abilities does not

computers can also be inaccurate and slow. Humans can be
incredibly fast and accurate, but humans can also be inaccurate
and slow. Computers are the most powerful when they are faster
and more accurate then a human, Humans are more powerful when
they are faster and more accurate then a computer. Using a
computer in the right way and at the right time is extremely
important. using your mind in the right way and at the right
time is extremely important. Using your mind and a computer in
the right ways and at the right times can help maximize the
power of both, if not they can cancel each other out.
"I'm not against technology, Doctor. I'm against the men who deify it at
the expense of human truth."
Quote from the 1997 Film "Contact" -
Deify is to consider something as a God or
Godlike.
Humans make computers, computers don't make humans. Humans make
mistakes, that means computers can also make mistakes. Computers
are one of the greatest tools that we have ever developed, but
computers are still under development. The human mind is one of
the greatest tools ever developed, but the human mind is still
under development. A computer can answer a question, but a
computer does not know if the answer is right or wrong, that is
a humans job.
Cell phones
with Internet access are only a weak and limited
alternative and definitely not a replacement for a laptop or a
desktop computer. But smartphones are still an amazing tool, if
used correctly. A smartphone could be a great ‘
A
Learning Tool’, but the most people are not using
them that way. A cell phone is another way of connecting to the internet, but not very
efficiently.
If a laptop computer is a window to the world then the cell
phone is a very small window to the world that only opens
halfway. And just having an internet connection does not say
that you will actually use it correctly or effectively.
A Smart
Phone will not make you smarter, it will most likely make you
more of an idiot, mostly because people waste time thinking
technology is just a play thing for entertainment purposes.
Imagine if you used your
Brain as a play thing just
to play games, yes you would grow up to be a
Idiot. And to think that a cell phone will somehow
bridge the
Digital Divide between people is to optimistic. Our
technology is just a tool, and we have many tools.
Advances in technology does not
level the playing field between the rich and the poor. Our
social connections are not our primary platform for learning
in everyday lives. Relying on other people for knowledge and
information is only affective and reliable when those other
people are actually learning new knowledge and acquiring new
information.
"Knowing a lot of people is good, but knowing a
few people who know a lot is much better." Having access to
more information does not necessarily mean that people will be
more educated. Increased communication between people using
mobile
Social Media also does not mean that people will be more
educated or informed.
The potential of the Internet will be defined by how we use all
our knowledge and information to help educate people, and not by
giving kids more cell phones. To say that these systems are not open enough to allow
innovation and learning from street-level knowledge is only true
when something is false, like bad information. I’m not saying that cell phones don’t have potential, or
that cell phones are not a useful and valuable tool, I’m just
saying that the sharing of knowledge and information should not
be so reliant on these tools that we use, but more importantly,
that our knowledge and information needs to be accurate,
organized and available to everyone no matter if they have a
tool or not. Having a
particular digital device or just having more technology tools
will not make you smarter. The only way you become smarter and
more knowledgeable is by knowing how to use the most reliable
and the most important tool that every human has, which is the
Human
Brain. The human brain can learn how to make tools and
learn how to use tools. But more importantly when the human
brain is educated properly, the human brain also knows how to
make sense of it all. And one of the things that the human brain
makes sense of, is that itself is the most important and the most
powerful tool a person has in their possession, and
Technology can be a great extension
of our Brains.
So wasting our resources will not make
us smarter. We have to use our resources intelligently,
appropriately, affectively and efficiently. But even then that
is only one step in our education process. We have a long way to
go. Simply providing technology tools to people will not make
them more educated or make their life any better.
Teaching people how to make use of all the tools that we have,
especially the tool in their head,
is the only sure way of educating people and improving life for
everyone.

The hammer by it
self is just an object made of matter. What makes a hammer an
amazing tool is the knowledge that explains how to use that hammer, that
is what makes that hammer an amazing tool. But Knowledge is
abstract. Knowledge cannot be placed in
your hands. Knowledge must be learned and understood by the mind because
knowledge can only exist in the mind. Knowledge can exist in matter, but
if there is no mind to understand that knowledge, then that knowledge does
not matter. A book is just an object made of matter. What makes the book
special is the mind that could understand the knowledge within that book.
With no mind, no matter matters and nothing matters to no one.

Knowledge Gap -
Teaching Technology
Is Technology just another word for Tool?
To say that technology does not replace teachers is a misleading
and ignorant statement. That's like saying books don't replace
teachers. But every student knows that
education consists of
reading a lot of books, and consists of reading a lot of papers
and writings. And technology is just a nicer book because it's
interactive, which increases learning speed, quantity and
quality. Focus more on the knowledge and information and not
just the tools that we use to transfer knowledge and
information. Just because an ignorant society throws away
millions of cell phones and computers every year does not mean
that we are not benefiting from our technologies, all that says is that we are still ignorant in a
lot of ways, even though we have the technologies that says we
have intelligence. Education needs to improve. Bottom line.
"Being technologically mature will not save society, society has
to be intellectually mature, then and only then
will we succeed, because too many people look at computers as
toys, when in fact, computers are one of the most powerful tools for learning."
"If a technology tool does
not have a learning objective, or if it doesn't increase
productivity beyond what it actually costs, then it's just a
waste of time, people and resources. Everyone pays for stupid
little gadgets even if you never buy one."
Questions to ask when
choosing a Computer, Laptop, Tablet or Smartphone?
Does the device play videos?
Does the device process
Interactive Software?
Can the device be upgraded? Is the
device repairable and recyclable?
Can the device use
jump-drives and
flash-drives so
that the flow of information is not impeded in any way?
Do students know how to use technology effectively and efficiently?
But the bottom line is that technology is a total waste of
money, time, people and resources if you only use technology to
provide students with the same defective and dysfunctional
curriculum that is destroying the minds of young people all over
the world.
Their Common core is just common crap. Ignorant people make
horrible educators, thus they make horrible decisions, like
buying over priced technology. Ignorant people are also
easily corrupted by money, which is usually at the expense of

Calibration method improves scientific research performed with smartphone
cameras. In The Optical Society (OSA) journal Optics Express, the
multi-institutional group of researchers report their new
standardized
calibration method and database, called SPECTACLE (Standardized
Photographic Equipment Calibration Technique And CataLoguE), which can be
used for smartphones, digital single-lens reflex cameras and cameras
aboard drones. The database allows users to upload calibration data from
their cameras for others to use. The standardized calibration method was
developed in response to a need that arose as Burggraaff and his Leiden
Univ. colleagues were developing citizen science methods to measure
optical water quality using a smartphone add-on called iSPEX (Spectropolarimeter
for Planetary EXploration), they originally developed to measure air
pollution. This add-on allows a smartphone camera to measure extra optical
information such as hyperspectral and polarimetric data. SPECTACLE and
iSPEX are part of MONOCLE (Multiscale Observation Networks for Optical
monitoring of Coastal waters, Lakes and Estuaries), a project funded by
the European Commission aimed at creating sustainable solutions for
measuring optical water quality.

phones in the world, to bad they are not all top of the line
Smartphones, but it clearly shows potential to get everyone
access to information, knowledge, services and tools.
More than 64 percent of Americans own
smartphones. Nearly half of U.S. homes don't have a landline and rely on
cellphones instead, according to a federal report in 2015.
Smartphone's are just incredible now, it's totally amazing all the different things

Dengue detection smartphone tech shows new hope for low-cost diagnostics.
Cellphone Technology developed to Detect HIV. A portable and
affordable mobile diagnostic tool, utilizing a cellphone and
nanotechnology, with the ability to detect HIV viruses and monitor its
management in resource-limited regions. Utilizing nanotechnology, a
microchip, a cellphone and a 3D-printed phone attachment, the researchers
created a platform that can detect the RNA nucleic acids of the virus from
a single drop of blood. The device detects the amplified HIV nucleic acids
through on-phone monitoring of the motion of DNA-engineered beads without
using bulky or expensive equipment. The detection precision was evaluated
for specificity and sensitivity.
Photoplethysmogram is an optically obtained plethysmogram, a
volumetric measurement of an organ. A PPG is often obtained by using a
pulse oximeter which illuminates the skin and measures changes in
light absorption. A
conventional pulse oximeter monitors the perfusion of blood to the dermis
and subcutaneous tissue of the skin.
Detecting single molecules and diagnosing diseases with a smartphone.
Researchers show that the light emitted by a single molecule can be
detected with a low-cost optical setup. Their prototype could facilitate
medical diagnostics. Biomarkers play a central role in the diagnosis of
disease and assessment of its course. Among the markers now in use are
genes, proteins, hormones, lipids and other classes of molecules.
Biomarkers can be found in the blood, in cerebrospinal fluid, urine and
various types of tissues, but most of them have one thing in common: They
occur in extremely low concentrations, and are therefore technically
challenging to detect and quantify.Many detection procedures use molecular
probes, such as antibodies or short nucleic-acid sequences, which are
designed to bind to specific biomarkers. When a probe recognizes and binds
to its target, chemical or physical reactions give rise to fluorescence
signals. Such methods work well, provided they are sensitive enough to
recognize the relevant biomarker in a high percentage of all patients who
carry it in their blood. In addition, before such fluorescence-based tests
can be used in practice, the biomarkers themselves or their signals must
be amplified. The ultimate goal is to enable medical screening to be
carried out directly on patients, without having to send the samples to a
distant laboratory for analysis. Molecular antennas amplify fluorescence
signals Philip Tinnefeld, who holds a Chair in Physical Chemistry at LMU,
has developed a strategy for determining levels of biomarkers present in
low concentrations. He has succeeded in coupling DNA probes to tiny
particles of gold or silver. Pairs of particles ('dimers') act as nano-antennas
that amplify the fluorescence signals. The trick works as follows:
Interactions between the nanoparticles and incoming light waves intensify
the local electromagnetic fields, and this in turn leads to a massive
increase in the amplitude of the fluorescence. In this way, bacteria that
contain antibiotic resistance genes and even viruses can be specifically detected.
Smartphone-based microscope rapidly reconstructs 3D holograms.
Portable and affordable device enables 3D measurements that could be
useful for medical diagnostics and education. Researchers developed a new

measurements. The highly portable and inexpensive microscope could help
bring 3D measurement capabilities to a broader range of applications,
including educational uses and point-of-care diagnostics in
resource-limited settings.

Moore's Law, or is it 'More is Law? So today we not only
have more knowledge and more information then any other time, we
also have more people who have more access to more knowledge
then any other time, and we also have more people generating
more knowledge and information then any other time. That means
if Moore's Law is correct, and looking at the last 100 years,
Doubling Time, we have arrived at an
Exponential Growth of knowledge and information that is so
big that we can no longer ignore how much we know. This will be
like the great awakening, because the Power of knowledge is just
now coming into focus. We have always knew about our potential,
but we just couldn't focus enough to fully see what our lack of
wisdom kept has us from seeing. This will be a huge celebration,
but it will also be a lot of work, because even though we have
more knowledge and more information, we also have more people
who don't have access to more knowledge and more information,
this has been our blind side, our
Exponential Decay, our lost potential, the thing that we
couldn't fully bring into focus. The speed on which we succeed
will be directly related to how fast we can deliver information
and knowledge to the people who have no access. Of course this
type of sharing will not be easy or be without problems, but at
least we'll be working on solving our problems, so this will
just be one more problem to solve. Are you ready?

In visual
memory, size matters. Study shows that the larger an image, the better
we remember it. New research shows that in natural vision, visual memory
of images is affected by the size of the image on the retina. The findings
can have many implications, including on the use of different types of
electronic screens and the quality of information processing when we rely
on large vs. small screens. most images were better remembered when they
were presented as bigger relative to when they were presented as smaller.

Machines to add electronic components to printed circuit boards.
SMT Placement Equipment are
robotic machines which
are used to place surface-mount devices (SMDs) onto a printed circuit
board (PCB). They are used for high speed, high precision placing of broad
range of electronic components, like capacitors, resistors, integrated
circuits onto the PCBs which are in turn used in computers, consumer
electronics as well as industrial, medical, automotive, military and
telecommunications equipment.

SM482 Flexible, SMART Pick & Place Machine (youtube)
Surface-Mount Technology is a method for producing electronic
circuits in which the components are mounted or placed directly onto the
surface of printed circuit boards (PCBs). An electronic device so made is
called a surface-mount device (SMD). In the industry it has largely
replaced the through-hole technology construction method of fitting
components with wire leads into holes in the circuit board. Both
technologies can be used on the same board, with the through-hole
technology used for components not suitable for surface mounting such as
large transformers and heat-sinked power semiconductors. An SMT component
is usually smaller than its through-hole counterpart because it has either
smaller leads or no leads at all. It may have short pins or leads of
various styles, flat contacts, a matrix of solder balls (BGAs), or
terminations on the body of the component.

Hope
is having
confidence that things will eventually
improve and get better,
just as long
as you
keep trying. Hope is wishing for a
better future and having an
optimistic attitude for a positive outcome.
Hope is
avoiding stress that is caused by
negativity. Hope is making the best use of a
situation and
being as great as possible even when things are difficult.
Believing that things will get better is not as effective as making things
get better and
being involved
in the process of
progress.
Hope for the best, but
always
be prepared for the worst. Don't
expect things to
happen or except things if they do happen, just make the best of
what ever
happens. Do or die situations rarely happen. So if something hinges on
just one thing happening, then you clearly don't have a
well thought out plan.
Hope is only a small part of a plan, the rest of the plan is all up to
you. Success is your
responsibility.
Hang In There or
Hang On is to encourage someone to
keep
trying and
not to give up even though something is very difficult.
Buckle Up is to prepare oneself for
something exciting, intense or challenging. To Get Ready.
You'll Get Through It means that even
though a devastating tragedy has occurred, you will eventually
recover and
heal and
get better.
You'll Get Over It means that
you will eventually stop worrying about a bad moment in time an stop
feeling stressed about a unfortunate moment, and
perceive that moment to be less
painful and less disturbing.

you, may the angels be watching over you. No Regrets.
Live, Love, Learn and
Progress.
You should have and hope,
but not so much that
faith
and hope make you
gullible
or
passive. Don't lose
your faith, but more importantly, don't lose your mind because of your
faith. You still have a responsibility to the world and a responsibility
to your fellow humans. So don't let your beliefs keep you in the dark or
stop you from protecting the earth or stop you from protecting all people
who inhabit this beautiful planet.
Don't confuse hope with
wishful thinking or
fantasies, or confuse hope with
over confidence,
or confuse hope with with the
lies that people tell themselves or the lies that people tell others.
Hope is the underlying promise to yourself that says that I will never
stop trying and I will
never stop
learning, and I will never fall into
despair even when things get

am here for a reason and I am here for a purpose, and God willing, I will

A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a
lamp and put it under a basket,
but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in
the house...Let your light shine.
There is Light at the End of the Tunnel.
The Tunnel Represents what is unknown to you, and the Light
Represents all the things that can be Known to you.
Don't be Kept in the Dark, Seek the Light. Keep Learning.
"No matter what sort of difficulties that
we face, or how painful the experiences that we endure,
if we lose our Hope, that's our real disaster. ~
Dalai Lama.
"
We
still have to try"
Glimmer of Hope is the
belief that there is a slight chance that something positive will happen.
“Let us think of education as the means of developing our
greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a
Private Hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit
for everyone and greater strength for our nation.” (
John
F. Kennedy).
Hope is the moonlight filtering through the trees,
Hope is the silent prayer that we make in distress,
Hope is the promise that we make to ourselves,
Hope is the happiness that we visualize,
Hope is the horizon that we reach, if we try!
― Balroop Singh.
Hope for Life
"Hope, it is the quintessential human delusion,
simultaneously the
source of your
greatest strength, and your greatest weakness." (Quoted from the program's Architect in the movie
Matrix 2).
"Hope
isn't a plan. Hope does not release you from
trying or stop you from
thinking about new
ideas. Hope is a wish for good luck, so the rest
is up to you."
"Give me Hope, Help me Cope, with this Heavy Load" ~
George
Harrison-Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth).
In Russia
there's a saying "
Hope Dies Last". Probably it's the reference to the need
of human to hope for good even in darkest hour.
When
Pandora's box was opened, it released all the evils of humanity,
leaving only Hope inside once it had closed again.
Keep your Fingers Crossed is to put one
finger across another as a sign of hoping for good luck and hoping that
someone or something will be successful.
You Never Know is to indicate that
something is not definite or certain about what will
happen in the future.
This
idiom is used to say
that it's impossible to be sure about what will happen, and suggests that
there is some hope that things will turn out well. There is a possibility
that something good might happen and that there is some hope that things
will turn out right, even though it is highly
improbable.
"The future does have a name, and its name is Hope. Feeling hopeful does not mean to
be optimistically naïve and ignore the tragedy humanity is facing. Hope is
the virtue of a heart that doesn't lock itself into darkness, that doesn't
dwell on the past, does not simply get by in the present, but is able to
see a tomorrow. Hope is the door that opens onto the future.
Hope is a humble, hidden seed of life that, with
time, will develop into a large tree. It is like some invisible yeast that
allows the whole dough to grow, that brings flavor to all aspects of life.
And it can do so much, because a tiny flicker of light that feeds on hope
is enough to shatter the shield of darkness. A single individual is enough
for hope to exist, and that individual can be you. And then there will be
another "you," and another "you," and it turns into an "us." And so, does
hope begin when we have an "us?" No. Hope began with one "you." When there
is an "us," there begins a revolution."
Pope Francis.
"
Never give up Hope, unless of course if someone wants to borrow
your Hope, then that's OK, because once you have Hope you can always get
more Hope."
"If someone gives you Hope, all we ask is that you must promise
to share Hope with others, and that you must also understand that
receiving Hope is a big responsibility, because you will now be the keeper
of Hope for the rest of your life. Hope is a gift that you will always
have no matter where you are. There is no way of losing Hope. The only way
Hope is lost is when you let it go. And if you want to share Hope with
others, you mustn't lose Hope, not never, not ever. "
"A life without cause is a life without effect"

its exceptional size has revealed new findings about the formation of
gemstones. Also know as The King's Jewel.

Brothers Comedy Hour. (changing hate to hope).
Come Sail Away
- Styx (youtube) - We live happily forever so the story goes, But
somehow we missed out on that pot of gold, But we'll try best that we can
to carry on, A gathering of angels appeared above my head, They sang to me
this
song of hope and this is what they
said. They said come sail away come sail away, Come sail away with me.

Next time your found, with your chin on the
ground
There a lot to be learned, so look around
Just what makes
that little old ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone
knows an ant, can't
Move a rubber tree plant
But he's got high
hopes, he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes
So any time your gettin' low
'stead of lettin' go
Just remember that
ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant
When troubles call, and your back's to the wall
There a lot to be
learned, that wall could fall
Once there was a silly old ram
Thought
he'd punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram, scram
He kept
buttin' that dam
'Cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes
He had
high apple pie, in the sky hopes
So any time your feelin' bad
'stead
of feelin' sad
Just remember that ram
Oops there goes a billion
kilowatt dam
All problems just a toy balloon
They'll be bursted soon
They're just bound to go pop
Oops there goes another problem kerplop.
Somewhere Over
The Rainbow - Judy Garland 1939 (youtube)
Somewhere over the
rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the
rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where
the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
High above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere
over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why
then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's
a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the
rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where
the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
High above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere
over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why
then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
