Interim: The Last Virus
By Robert Lopez and Robert Parnell
In every day life we are exposed to bacteria and viruses that could possible make us ill. Every once in awhile there are viruses that actually kill us. Sometimes we hear about people dieing. What if there was a virus that could kill people on a global scale. Think of a virus that could possible kill everyone.
We propose to demonstrate the destruction of human life and the possibility of surviving extinction. We will use net logo to demonstrate our project. We are using a pandemic virus to calculate the time it would take for annihilation of life using graphs. Our project will use turtles in stead of humans. The red turtles will be sick or infected. The black turtles will be normal neither sick nor strong. The green turtles will be strong and will be getting stronger and multiplying. If a red turtle is in the radius of a black turtle it has a fifty-fifty chance of becoming sick or immune. We are using fifty-fifty as a By doing this project we can have a better visualization of what will happen if this event ever occurs.
The bases of the model are done just few problems will need to be fixed. And the graphs demonstrating population need to be added. The mathematical part of the project is a pain.
The End result is the demonstration of the destruction of human life and the possibility of surviving extinction.
