A achieved freedom from Buffet's insightful remark about "right truth." I realized that I have limited my knowledge and ability to explore and discover because I have set myself to look only for the "right truth." Without me knowing it, the truth that I have been seeking is not so much about another person's viewpoint, but my own, personal philosophy -- my statement of truth as I have experienced and lived it. It is through the Buffet quote that I began to acknowledge that I can be both recipient and producer of knowledge, exploring knowledge about life while at the same time, sharing it with others through my own interpretation, my "version" of the 'right truth.'

This means that society as a whole needs to consider both aspects of the problem. It would be wrong to simply consider problems associated with an aging population in the context of a young population that experiences little to no change. The number of young people is smaller today than it has been in the past and the government needs to invest fewer finances in providing for this community.
Gerontology Experiment Simulation #1 -- Degenerative Arthritis and Macular Degeneration In this simulation, I placed Band-aids around the middle joints of my fingers and I wore an athletic wrist support on one hand that severely limited my wrist motion. The Band-aids were tight enough to make it almost impossible to bend my fingers except with considerable discomfort. I also placed a smudge of Vaseline in the center of the lenses of clear
Mobile Apps for Capturing Geolocation and Customer Data As progress towards truly ubiquitous or pervasive computing continues to be made, some of the more important emerging technologies that will facilitate this goal are so-called "apps," which are being engineered for a seemingly endless array of utilitarian as well as educational and entertainment purposes. To identify the current state of these technologies, this paper provides an assessment of the effectiveness and
