Welcome to a typical 21st century home!
Come in, don't be shy. Make yourself at home and take a seat on the couch in our living room.
We have just bought a new TV that makes use of new technology, I don't know actually what's different, but they told us so, so...
“High definition screens are getting better and better, but even a tiny blemish in the manufacturing process can become glaringly obvious to viewers over time. Software that includes tools built by NASA to help robots better discern contrast helps manufacturers consistently and accurately identify spots in their screens that aren't lighting up the right amount or aren't hitting the colour marks accurately to ensure high definition displays deliver high quality in every pixel”
House owner: Ohhhh, yes! I told you that they told us! Ahaha. And, as you can hear, it sounds sooo clear! I guess it is because we make use of a Magnetic-fluid-speakers system.
Well, I could explain how they work...I've read it on NASA's website...
Ferrofluids, or fluids imbued with magnetically charged particles, were first developed by NASA for use in rocket fuel. Today, they find applications ranging from art and displays to high-end speaker systems. The fluid makes speakers more energy-efficient and helps them achieve a louder, cleaner sound for their size. My kids love it! You know, one of them wants to become a music producer, and the other one is a guitar player. Look, we have an acoustic guitar just next to the couch.
You know, not all acoustic guitars are created equal, and one that has impressed the likes of Paul McCartney (which is my favourite artist..), Carly Simon, Melissa Etheridge and Glen Campbell relies on NASA aerospace technology. An industrious helicopter manufacturer used special vibration analysis equipment to enhance the sound of acoustic guitars. He also built the body out of a fibreglass composite used for rotor blades. The resulting instruments are stronger and less expensive to produce than those of traditional rosewood and produce a rich, full sound.
My kids usually spend time together playing music, and sometimes they end up with some very good melodies. They arrange their stuff and put it on a Cloud platform to keep their drafts. Now, I'm not a pro, but they told me that we should thank NASA for that:
an early and important breakthrough in cloud-based computing, known as Open Stack, originated at NASA. Software developers partnered with industry to portion out storage and computing power on an as-needed basis. Now it is the most used open-source cloud computing platform, used to manage data at many of the world’s most recognizable commercial brands and research organizations.
Do you want something to drink? I should have something for you in the fridge.
Hurry up, come with me! Oh, and take a look at those plants before we get into the kitchen:
An environmental scientist funded by NASA studied plants' ability to purify air and water. He found that this ability was greatly increased the more air or water was brought in contact with plants' roots. Since he published a book of his findings, including which plants remove the most toxins, several companies have used the research, often with the author's help, to create indoor planters and gardens to eliminate the pollutants that cause "sick building syndrome."
