Tonight’s “Tech Live” tells the story of Gigabyte, a young kickboxer and virus writer. She can kick you in the pants and wipe your hard drive cleaner than a dog’s dinner plate.

“I’ll just shoot you from behind,” I say, carrying my TV camera. It’s almost time for the 6:00 p.m. kickboxing class, and Gigabyte is the only woman learner there. She’s also something of a virus-writing genius, having started programming at age six. “I figured out how to write a few lines of code on my uncle’s Commodore 64,” says Gigabyte, who has just recently celebrated her 18th birthday. At age fourteen, she wrote her first computer worm, which took over the shutdown screens of infected users. Two years later, she wrote another powerful virus that damages MP3 files. And recently she has become the second person to write a virus in C# (pronounced “C sharp”). Her so-called “Sharpei” worm, which comes in an email attachment, infects certain files in computers.

“Virus writing is so aggressive, and most reasonable people consider it an act of vandalism(蓄意破坏), or at least potential vandalism,” I say. “That’s not my problem. The users are running the virus. They are the ones clicking on it,” she says.

“So you really think the people who execute(运行) these programs are responsible for the damage that your viruses do?” I ask. “Actually,” she says, “I think many people should have to have some sort of license to get on the Internet.” Gigabyte is quick to remind visitors that she never releases her viruses into the wild. Instead, she sends them to antivirus companies, hoping for the kind of affirmation(确认) that only comes with “high-risk”. But she also has posted her viruses on her homepage, meaning anyone else could release them. “That’s not my problem,” she says. “When people make guns, can you blame them when somebody kills somebody else with the guns? I only write them; I don’t release them. I do want to work with computers for a living, but not with an antivirus company.”

Scientists say new man-made materials equipped with sensors could turn bandages into a valuable tool for health care workers.

Simple bandages are easy to use, covering up the damaged skin and giving it time to heal. Scientists are now developing bandages with technology currently used in popular wearable devices, such as smart watches and fitness trackers. They have begun adding small sensors of all kinds to bandages and making them more sensitive. Scientists are also making new materials called hydrogels(水凝胶). Hydrogels resemble human skin. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have found a way to combine these two technologies. They created a stretchy polymer（聚合物）with firmness similar to human soft tissue. The new combination product has titanium wires that lie in a zig-zag, or “z”-shaped design. The wires, connected to electronic sensors, stretch easily without breaking contact with the sensors.

Xuanhe Zhao, an associate professor of Mechanical Engineering, says the researchers put electronic devices, such as sensors, into the new material. They use a different device to put medicine in the damaged skin. The resulting product becomes a kind of “smart-wound dressing” --- one that can react to changes in the skin around it.

For example, Zhao says, if there is a sudden increase in temperature, the wound will send out a command. That is when “the controlled drug delivery system can deliver a specific drug to that specific location.” LED lights in the bandage can warn patients and doctors about changes in different areas. Medication quickly spreads across the bandage, through tiny passageways so that the wound heals quickly. Zhao tells us that he and his team are working hard and hope to get to clinical tests soon. It will be some time before these smart bandages reach hospitals or drug stores. But Zhao says “I firmly believe that eventually they will have a broad application.” In the future, such products might even contain a computer chip, which would give them more power to analyze what is needed.

Safety and Security Procedures

Your safety and the security of your personal property are of the primary concern to those of us who welcome you as our guest. We urge you to take advantage of the following suggestions.

“No pains, no gains.” gives the impression that we ought to be suffering while we study. It seems that the only way to know if we’re putting in enough work is how much hardship we bear. We are totally taken up with study, shutting ourselves away for a big exam. Is that necessarily true?

When we haven’t taken the time to come up with another idea, we just shut ourselves in a room with a book. It’s no surprise that we find revision boring and difficult. Just as children learn from playing, we can learn from doing, or at least from study techniques that interest us, rather than make us switch off. Shutting ourselves away can make us learn to hate studying, leading to a situation where instead of being able to concentrate on our work, we are troubled by how unfair it is that we must study. This can be part of a vicious cycle(恶性循环) that traps us into ineffective revision, your poor progress fueling further annoyance.

Thankfully, working in the company of other people really helps fight against that. We just need to learn how to deal with distractions. It’s not necessary to avoid all company, just idle(懒散的)company. People, who are bored and looking to be distracted, are terrible to work around. They constantly try to keep others in conversation. While studying in the same room with someone who is ironing or working out is perfectly possible. Of course, it’s also a good idea to avoid the company of people involved in activities where you would rather be playing than study. Working while sitting next to someone playing video games is most likely to end with a new high score in games rather than productive revision.

If being around others means working in a noisy environment, a pair of headphones and some background music can block out noises. They also act as a psychological barrier, so that people think twice before interrupting you. Besides, we should know friends and family can lessen feelings of isolation(孤立). And connecting with other people makes us happy, so it’s important not to give that up and to make sure that we take the time to socialize.

Once upon a time, it was a boy whose parents named him Odd(古怪的). Other children teased him about his name but kept him at a distance, thinking that he was very strange and behaved stupid. Deeply hurt, he refused to be bothered and struggle to break away from the pain. He tried to keep people off teasing him, but in vain. People continued making fun of his name—even after he became a successful lawyer. Finally, as a old man, he wrote out his last wish, “I’ve been the butt(笑柄) of jokes all my life. I’ll let others make fun of myself after I’m gone.” He insisted his tombstone not to bear his name. After his death, people passing by noticed the largest blank stone and said loudly, “Look, that’s odd.”
