In the previous episode, Nerdo Cavernas revealed Campus Party Colombia 2012. This time Science and Technology will give viewers a little more of the "campuseros", those youngsters who showed their imagination, wit, and knowledge. It is an episode on automation projects, robotics, equipment performance devices, modding, and other areas where 5,000 "campuseros" who attended Campus Party Colombia 2012 stood out.
Advances in technology applied to agricultural production processes increase with the passage of time. This occurs because society demands better products. For this reason the Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia through the School of Agricultural Sciences, Livestock and Environment organized the first International Congress of Agricultural Biotechnology, in which researchers from around the continent and Europe gathered to share technological advances and research in Biotechnology.
Thanks to the establishment, use, and appropriation of ICTs (Information and Communications Technologies); there has been great social, educational and cultural advancement which has increased the country's competitiveness. Today, the search for greater productivity at work has led to the implementation of a new type of work known as telecommuting. This initiative of the Ministry of ICT is a form of distance or remote work that carries out its objectives or goals through the use of information and communication technologies.
Martin, a funny and curious artist, discusses the world of design. He explores the design elements of color and shape of things in everyday life. In this episode, Martin investigates the relationship between design and advances in different types of technology. Part of "The Shape of the World" series.
A team conducts different experiments with food substances to show the chemical reactions that take place when exposed to air, heat, or extreme cold. They provide a close up on cooking technology and food chemistry from the kitchen of a restaurant. Part of Invisible Science and Technology Surrounding Series.
Today's optoelectronic engineers are developing extremely thin glass that is both durable and scratch-resistant. Telecommunications systems require speed and accuracy, and glass is proving to be important in developing semiconductors, optical fibers, and multiplexing. Precisely engineered glass is also used in terrestrial and extra-terrestrial telescopes.
In an increasingly technological world, citizens have an obligation to manage gadgets and devices in the best possible way. What is a competent digital citizen? How does one become a competent digital citizen? This episode reveals the characteristics of a competent digital citizen.
Technological development and advances in mobile devices, including the growth of Apps, have generated a technological revolution. Some experts label this as the greatest revolution sin the Industrial Revolution. In this episode, Nerdo Cavernas demonstrates the top 3 applications of each operating system for the most popular smartphones and tablets.
In an effort to improve the quality of educational content in Colombian University Television, The History Channel Experience was held. This workshop was designed to motivate producers and Colombian University filmmakers to use international production systems in their presentations and in the development of audiovisual projects.
For Umberto Eco books are a great invention that cannot be improved. However, throughout history, books have undergone technical changes that have altered their nature and the way we use them. Books have undergone a make-over with new technological advancements. Nerdo Cavernas discusses the Digital Book: its uses, its contributions, and much more.
Great inventions exist in the world of audio and music: stereo, surround sound, and holophonics, all known as 3D sounds. Although holophonics can be confused with surround sound because it tries to create a surrounding with sounds from different sources, holophonics have a completely different system and are only emitted through a stereo system, which when used with headphones and creates a sense of three-dimensionality.
The technological revolution is progressing every day at a faster pace. Virtual reality is no longer enough, now augmented reality is necessary. But what is augmented reality? Well, it's the option to view objects in 3D and at the same time as a real image with just a helmet, goggles and a special computer program. Currently it is being used for video games, architectural drawings, artwork and even medicine.
The business world has forced agricultural researchers and producers to improve production systems by either increasing the quality of the product, size, or growth process. All these issues are part of the concept of Biotechnology.
A new software, Columbia 3.0, has been created thanks to the growth of mobile applications, technological improvements in the world of computers, and the creation of new business models. This event was sponsored by the Ministry of Information and Communication Technologies and aims to improve the quality of audiovisual and virtual content in both professional and academic arenas.
Each year the goal of Outlook Colombia is to create an academic meeting which focuses on developing participants into proactive, critical and reflexive individuals in regards to the future of cities and societies. This event is carried out annually by the School of Administrative, Accounting, Economical and Business Sciences of “Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia” (UNAD).
Music is the art of combining sounds according to an artistic criterion and is a form of human expression. Musicians such as Richard Strauss and Arnold Schoenberg were interested in seeking new quality tone and sounds in the orchestra by adding new, nontraditional instruments. In 1909, Luigi Russolo in his "Futurist Manifesto" spoke about combining sounds from machines and non-traditional musical instruments and combining those sounds with an artistic criterion based on the imagination of the composer. But what role do technological advances play in the creative development and composition of music?
What are the different features of each instrument? While attending a concert by the Youth Orchestra of Bariloche, a team analyzes the different scientific and technological aspects related to sound and music. Part of Invisible Science and Technology Surrounding Series.
Since the invention of the internet during the 1960s, computer servers have been used for the exchange of information. Today things have changed; anyone can transfer files. Individuals can transfer files from one point to another or house them in a specific location within the network which can be used later for consultation. This is what is called "the Cloud".
How is meteorological information interpreted? A team takes a close up look at the methods, devices, and equipment used to generate, transmit, and process the information for the weather forecast. Part of Invisible Science and Technology Surrounding Series.
