As a Game Design major, I try and stay up to date on all the latest computer and software technologies. I usually do all that research on my own since it’s a subject that interests me. However, in terms of technology that I have learned about from someone else, I would say that I learn the most about technology innovations from my father, especially as they relate to the military. He is a Major General in the Marine Corps and they often are involved in making sure the military stays innovative and works on training Marines in these new technologies.
Some of the new technologies I find interesting and we will discuss them further or I will read more into them on my own. One recent example has been the use of what is known as “cognitive radar.” Cognitive radar is the next generation of digitize radar wave that results in transmit-receive flexibility. It has more intelligent embedded computing that can adapt to its environment. It can greatly improve target identification and improve overall situational awareness. Since I am highly involved in computers and enjoy building them myself, I like to learn how computer innovations are effecting other industries and learn about them from leaders in various fields.
