On this chapter, Invention: Media and Performance, there were different kinds of interesting artists had been introduced. Among them, I would like to describe the two sensational avant-garde artists, Nam June Paik and John Cage. These two artists influenced and changed the traditional forms of art making. Moreover, they challenged their works with the new experimental and left the huge impact and changed the new generation of the artists.
Nam June Paik, Korean- American, a first video artist who was using a portable videotape recorder, and started the digital revolution in art. Also people recognized him as the “Father of Video Art”. He was a sculptor, composer, performance artist. He had great passions in the musical education, so he moved and traveled to many countries to learn music. Most of his visual art works combined with the sound effects. And he used the furnitures that audiences could easily see and experience in their daily life. One of his work, TV Bra for Living Sculpture in 1969, it was a performance art using video playing on the two small pieces of TV monitors attached like bra to cellist Charolotte Moorman’s chest with the sound of her playing the cello. Nam Jun Paik explained his piece, “By using TV as a bra… the most intimate belonging of human being, we will demonstrate the human use of technology, and also stimulate viewers not for something mean but stimulate their phantasy to look for the new, imaginative and humanistic ways of using our technology.” This performance shows the relationship between the human and the technology, which means he wanted to say humanizing the technology. The technology should not be take over the human life, human should rule over the technology. However his futuristic media art started made the art widely and developed.
Nam June Paik’s great composer mentor, John Cage, was a American experimental composer and gave his opinion to audience that any sound can be music. He broke the history of the classical composition. And one of his famous major work , 4’ 3” , in 1976, which was not a instrument performance, he sat on the piano in the middle of street and closed the lid. He repeated to open and close the lid. During the performance in four minutes and thirty three seconds, he use the stop-watch, which measured each segment. While the performance, people whispers and shuffled in their spots, nature sounds and the cars were passing by them. He wanted people to focus, listen and share the present sounds that surrounded them, which is music. Further more he changed the world by the silence.
In conclusion, the both artists, they found out the ideas from the old ones which were we already experienced in our life. Transforming the intimate objects, furnitures or the noises, which people couldn’t thought about it, made to attract the audiences’ attention and brought the sensation to the world and also influenced many artists. However they left the great mark on the art history that changed a new genre instead of traditional and classical performance.

I think that there is a very fine line between technology and human innovation. That fine line is when the technological innovation starts to harm humans. That is not the case here with Geraldine Hamilton’s organs on a chip. With this organ on a chip, there are no humans being hurt. She is using cells to try to stimulate accurate representations of a human body. She is doing this to try to help the world of medicine. Using these chips, she can test cures for certain diseases and even test medicine for specific people. Not all people are the same so she can take specific people’s cells and test if they would react in a fatal or non fatal way to a drug. She gives an example in her talk, when she explains how she had a headache and took an advil, then fifteen minutes later, she was rushed to an emergency room (Hamilton). This shows how differently people can react to different types of medicine. Using this technology could end up saving so many lives in the long run.

I think that human innovation is gradually becoming dependent on technology but for a good reason. Technology can do many things that humans cannot. We can program technology to do various different things that are more faster and efficient than we could do ourselves. We should use technology to our advantage, to help us improve ourselves and everyone around us. I think that it is a very powerful tool which can help us make the world a better place for everyone. An example is this organ on a chip technology that could potentially eliminate the need for animal testing which has so many ethical issues. Another example is when we use technology to give people prosthetic arms and legs to people who were born with none. I think that technology is an amazing thing, it is helping us make huge strides in medicine and beyond.

CASE STUDY
Adult and Pediatric Primary Care (APPC), a five-doctor clinic with 40 employees and two offices, is a financially viable, growing organization with an expanding patient base. The practice is five years old, started by two physicians who left a larger group with a goal to provide high-quality care. At the time they started, they hired an experienced medical office manager, a front-desk receptionist, and two medical assistants. Over the past five years, they have added more physicians and staff as patient volumes grew. The physician owners are very cautious about adding cost to the operation, always making sure that patient revenues could appropriately cover their overhead. At a recent practice meeting that included the physician owners and the office manager, the agenda included a discussion point about adding a human resources professional to the administrative team. The office manager indicated that she was spending a significant amount of her time dealing with HR-related duties at the expense of her other duties, such as bill ing management, vendor negotiations, and shopping for an electronic medical records system. Although she felt that she was skilled at hiring and training, she did not feel her competencies included, at the level necessary, the other areas of HR such as legal compliance, performance management, and benefits and compensation management. Consequently, she was recommending hiring an individual with those skills. The physician owners generally agreed with her recommendation but voiced concern about the additional expense of adding a non- revenue-producing staff member and wanted more detail as to what an HR professional would do for a practice their size. The meeting was adjourned without making a final decision regarding adding the HR staff member pending more research by the office manager on the specific duties the HR professional would perform and a cost–benefit analysis on the position.
1. Describe the potential value a human re-sources professional could bring to APPC.

Water is an essential element of life on earth. A human being can survive for only about one week without water. As the global population expands and increasing industrialization creates ever-growing demands for water, supply of this vital commodity has become endangered. Just as water, clean air is an essential element for the survival of life on earth. Air that is polluted can endanger our health and cause damage to trees, wildlife, and property.
Using the Internet, research on the topic, "Various Health Hazards Caused by Water and Air Pollution.
"Based on your understanding, create a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word document that includes the answers to the following questions:
What are the hazardous substances that may be found in drinking water and what are their impacts on our health?
Describe how water is made safe for human consumption.
Epidemiologic analyses have demonstrated a correlation between an increase in total daily mortality and an increase in air pollution. Provide examples to explain how historically significant fatal air pollution episodes (that were characterized by extreme increases in air pollution) lead to increase in mortality.
Describe how greenhouse gases contribute to the greenhouse effect.
Explain the term "global warming" and present arguments in favor of and against the proposition that global warming has occurred during the past century. What environmental outcomes have been attributed to global warming?
