Thinking of the dynamic and complex systems and their models of behavior always reminds me of the Rubik’s Cube. The Cube is one and unique but the approach and technique we choose to solve it, is what makes the difference. It is the way we choose to play with the colors and the way they interrelate with each other, that creates the several solutions to the Rubik’s complex network. But still seems that something rules this complexity.
Understanding dynamic systems is all about grasping the complexity of the little things hiding and laying behind it, the way they interoperate, communicate, give and take from each other. It is the unpredicted interaction of these little things that makes them both complex and dynamic. It is this give and take …show more content…

They are literally surrounded from it. But have we ever thought about the why? What is the real problem hiding behind the curtains? On January the 6th, 2018 in a letter JANA Partners and CALSTRS addressed to APPLE INC several concerns have been raised from the unappropriated use of the technology from kids. In this letter they cite the results of a survey conducted by the American Psychological Association. where 3500 U.S. parents believe that 58% of their children are attached or addicted to some electronic devices (JANA Partners, CALSTRS, 2018). But what happens and what causes the addiction? Our kid uses to much technology, but when we tent to suppress them from doing so, this only happens for as short period of time. Because of the addiction, they feel the need to return to them more eager than before. What we are doing in fact is just trying to keep them away from the high-tech devices, but in fact what we should do is try to spend more time with them, try to socialize them with other kids or find ways to engage them in sports and outdoor …show more content…

I must fight everyday against time. My kids need me, but I need to find the time to study. To achieve the desired results, I need to study more. And because I’m aware that the more time I dedicate to my studies the more I will succeed. But at the same time, less I have for them….
During our life we make decision. We build arguments which helps us decide. But do we have a full view of the world? Do we see the tree or the forest when we do so? And the question I pose to myself is should I study more, or should I spend more time with them? Regardless of the decision I take, I will let go somewhere, either my kids or my grades. But what if my husband engages more with them? That would for sure give me extra time to study and at the same time the reassurance that they will be happy and safe.
By taking a decision, I separated the loops and I don’t have to share the resources, at least not for now.

  • Analysis Of Dana Boyd And Don T Limit Your Teen's Screen Time

    993 Words  | 2 Pages

    “Get off your phone.” “I’m taking that laptop away.” Many children have dealt with their parents barging into their rooms and telling them to get off their electronics. Parents believe it is not healthy and therefore should be restricted. The two articles, “Blame Society, Not the Screen Time” by Dana Boyd and “Don’t Limit Your Teen’s Screen Time” by Chris Bergman, both talk about how parents should not limit their kid’s screen time. Both authors are writing to parents of children who they think spend way too much time on their electronics. However, Dana Boyd has a much better compelling argument for not restricting teenager’s screen time. Boyd has a much better appeal to both audiences. She manages to employ better uses of both pathos and logos

  • Creating Chaos and Losing Knowledge

    1324 Words  | 3 Pages

    Indirectly through out his novel, Camus compares people who rely too much on their logic and rationality, versus those who accept that our world is confusing and unpredictable. Similar to his thinking, in “Crickets, Bats, Cats and Chaos” Lewis Thomas suggests that chaos stimulates the brain and actually suggests that even crickets or cats have thoughts during chaotic or unpredictable situations. Even though I have always seen chaos as a total lack of order, a desperate situation in which an individual loses control, Thomas gave me a new concept for chaos. He says that it emerges when a system is altered by a small change or small uncertainty in its interior; chaos is then the

    The commercial cube is composed of 26 visible pieces and one central core. These two distinct components of the Rubik’s cube are what maintain the shape of the Rubik’s cube. The shape of the core can be visualized as a central, three-axis spindle with six attached octagons, one on each face of the cube. These are referred to as octagonal extensions and are what allow the free movement and rotation of the cube.

  • How Does Entropy Affect Human Perception?

    1536 Words  | 4 Pages

    knowledge of the system could manipulate the system in a way to avoid the second law of thermodynamics. This has also been supported by other experiments, such as the Szilard engine experiment (Parrondo). Furthermore, in class we have learned information on entropy that can help to understand this situation. For example, the entropy of a system where it always increases is known as the coarse entropy is when the system is not well understood, and if all the variables are known, the entropy would be zero. This is because the entropy changes depending on how much information is known about the system, with a lower entropy the more of the information is known. Some of the information that could be known include temperature and pressure, or the position of all the molecules and their velocities and accelerations; the second set of information is a lot more detailed than the first, so there are fewer possibilities that could fulfill the requirements (woods).

  • Complex Systems Are Very Likely to Experience Accidents

    2380 Words  | 5 Pages

    Normal Accident Theory (NAT) is the label for a school of thought that considers accidents in complex systems to be inevitable. Two characteristics of complex systems that are very important to NAT are the interactive complexity of a system and a system’s coupling. Coupling is determined primarily by the time between processes in a system, the independent or dependent progression of such processes, and the number of different ways that a system’s goal can be achieved (Piccard, 1999). Systems are classified as ‘tightly coupled,’ meaning that the time between processes is small, the processes are highly interdependent, and there are few paths, if not one, to the goal; or ‘loosely coupled,’ which is the opposite. These characteristics are particularly useful for comparing different complex systems and evaluating them to determine which are at the highest risk for accidents. The results can then be used to minimize, but not eliminate, the possibility that an accident will occur.

    Almost every child between the ages of eight and twelve are getting cell phones. The average home in America has as many televisions as they do people. Only 20% of American homes do not have a computer. Technology is quickly becoming a new way of life. The amount of time people are on their devices is growing rapidly. According to The Huffington Post, people are on their devices for on average about eleven hours and fifty-two minutes a day. That is almost half a day and a lot longer than most people sleep or work. People have not realized yet how they or their families are being affected by this constant use of technology. As a result of technology increasing, children are experiencing health problems, school issues, and social problems.

  • The Negative Impact Of Technology On Children

    813 Words  | 2 Pages

    As disclosed in the article, The Impact of Technology on the Developing Child, Chris Rowan acknowledges, “Rather than hugging, playing, rough housing, and conversing with children, parents are increasingly resorting to providing their children with more TV, video games, and the latest iPads and cell phone devices, creating a deep and irreversible chasm between parent and child” (par. 7). In the parent’s perspective, technology has become a substitute for a babysitter and is becoming more convenient little by little. It is necessary for a growing child to have multiple hours of play and exposure to the outside world each day. However, the number of kids who would rather spend their days inside watching tv, playing video games, or texting is drastically increasing. Children are not necessarily the ones to be blamed for their lack of interest in the world around them, but their parents for allowing their sons and daughters to indulge in their relationship with technology so powerfully. Kids today consider technology a necessity to life, because their parents opted for an easier way to keep their children entertained. Thus resulting in the younger generations believing that technology is a stipulation rather than a

Chaos theory is applicable in various fields ranging from weather, business to medicine. Chaos theory explains the reason why it is practically improbable to predict the weather with the current technology as well as providing a way for people to find patterns in the chaotic system of stock exchange. It also helps with the running of organisation by showing what sort of condition is needed for a profitable business as well as helping doctors predict when heart failure may occur. Fractals which is a concept of chaos theory also is portrayed in the natural world in examples such as lightning and neurons in the brains. Chaos theory has
