Apple came out with its first iPhone 10 years ago, and it changed the world of cell phones. This year, Apple has three new phones: the iPhone 8, the iPhone 8 plus, and the iPhone X (ten). The iPhone X is the most advanced and the most expensive of the three. One amazing thing about this phone is that it knows who the owner is by their face. It will unlock when you look at the screen. Apple says that it can recognize a person, no matter what the hairstyle. If that is true, then AI is better than me. I cannot recognize some of my own students after they change their hairstyles!

The Nobel Prize Award Ceremony 2016 was held on December 10 in Stockholm, Sweden. There are six prizes altogether, and this year, a Japanese scientist won the Medicine Award. It went to Osumi Yoshinori for his work on autophagy. The big surprise was the Literature Prize. It was given to a songwriter for the first time. Bob Dylan got the award for his songs with beautiful, moving words. I was happy to see the Peace Prize go to President Juan Manuel Santos of Colombia. He worked very hard for a peaceful end to a 50-year-long war in his country. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
