our science and technology correspondent, jake ward is live in san francisco with that. jake? >> good evening john, in las vegas, the topics range from self driving cars to 3-d printing, but the notion of inserting sensors into even the smallest projects raises privacy concerns about all of the new kinds of data that those gizmos are going to collect about you and me. >> reporter: at the consumer electronics show, the home of big and bold ideas, the focus is much smaller. tiny tech to put more of you and your life online. >> sensors, things that they have never talked about before. that's because they're getting smaller and lighter and cheeper and helping these companies get out in front of what they want their habits and routines. >> beginning last year, it was like basketballs, and this year, baseballs and crock pots and onesies and all sorts of things with sensors built in. >> that means these sensors are exposing us in new ways. because they reveal where we go, and when we're awake and asleep. and the software that is analyzing that data has sophisticated portraits of wher

but as jake ward reports it is not a pipe dream. there is some practicality behind this plan. >> reporter: he openly speaks about our need to push out from this plant and set up new life on the red one. he talks about being buried on mars. but that's in the future. for now this latest announcement is closer to home. space x is going to expand its seat operation to focus on low- low-cost high-volume satellites. they'll hold several hundred maybe even a thousand people as a cop moves aggressively to put up satellites for public and private clients. but musk plans to use that satellite business to create the expertise and technology to master all of the things that it takes to make the long journey to mars. here's the thing. it's a really long journey. that's always been the problem. chief among the long list of obstacles between ourselves and new life on mars is the sheer distance that we've had to travel. it would take 150 to 300 days to fly all the try mars depending on its orbit and ours. a russian cosmonaut spent 347 days in orbit

for more we turn to our science and technology expert jake ward with the latest, jake. >> here in dallasly great questions here, where couldn't this have somehow been detected more quickly. well the trouble is that it turns out detecting ebola is a very complicated process. in a perfect world anyone in close contact with a person infected with ebola would be tested in the first moments after exposure but unfortunately the virus doesn't show up that quickly. testing people too early leads to missed diagnoses and false positives. so the current procedure is to monitor patients until they develop symptoms like fever or bleeding. but while we can't test earlier we might be able to test faster. currently the test for ebola can take as long as three days to process. consider that nina pham reported her symptoms on friday and her test results came back positive on sunday. that window means the second nurse was on a plane. could have reduced the waiting time until ten minutes. perhaps a faster test for nina pham could have kept her co-worker off the plane. >> america votes 2014. we've got reacti

thank you >>> our science and technology correspondent jake ward joins us from san francisco. take a moment and talk about the drone used in the latest security breach for us please. >> it does not take a military expert to fly this an idiot like me can open a d.j. i phantom. it's a first generation a cheap drone that you would buy, costing shy of $500. it can only carry a couple of pounds. it's intended to carry a camera. it's not clear whether the one that breached the white house grounds was carrying a camera. this one is designed for enthusiasts, dummies like me to float around with it. it can only fly a certain distance and the secret service is not saying how it is that this crashed, but it's probably because the g.p.s. system on board was jammed by something on the white house grounds. it's something that can about used. and it's noted that it is fully illegal to fly this at any altitude in the washington d.c. area. so this thing was pretty much doomed from the time it was launched. >> you have been covering the recreational drone industry for some time. remind us where

jake ward is here with the fascinating story. >> species living underwater travel vast distances over long periods of time, so when big changes take place, it isn't clear what is causing them or how broadly they are effecting live. this brings together hundreds of sources many that haven't been connected before, to paint a very alarming picture. the current rates of marine extinction, could be what they call the prelude to a major extinction pulse, and they are clearly blaming the growing footprint on human ocean use. >> what is the human ocean connection. >> well, it does, the study says that it is all about human etch encroachment. we are also talking about the ways in our use of the ocean are sort of damaging it. the report using various sources to point out they are becoming more acsis ideally as a result of carbon emissions. and fish are simply trying to get away from us, some species are already giving up on their natural habitat. the bad news overall is that we are looking at habitat destruction, becoming the big threat over the next century and a half. the good news is that it

you very much the weather is fickle the science behind it often just as unpredictable, let's go to jake wardn san francisco to talk more about the science of forecasting, jay? >> john the united states does have something of a forecasting problem and it's not like we don't have enough people looking at the sky, we don't really have the computers powerful enough to accurately simulate the weather. that is how weather forecasting work and super computers the size of a room try to factor this and they had a super computer capable of two-tenths of a petiflop and europe has the largest computer capable of several of this. why does speed matter? it usually determines accuracy. remember hurricane sandy in 2012? european forecast models got it right and american models got it wrong. here is sandy's actual path the line here is the european prediction and you can see how close the european prediction lines up with the path that was a week before landfall but took the u.s. model several days to catch up. sandy went on to kill nearly 150 people in the u.s. and cost the country $70 billion. here is the

. >> reporter: i am jake ward under president bush, law came in to place that opened up whole new swathsour lives to government intrusion but under the current president the technology came online. under president obama, we have seen certain outrage around the nsa's bulk data collection systems, but those systems have been getting better and better, stronger and stronger under the president and no sign it will end any time soon. at least five different programs for everything from picking up conversations on the phone and transcribing them and automatically categorizing them to noticing patterns in youtube videos like when someone is walking in the opposite direction of the crowd. all of that is just going to get deeper and deeper under this presidency. >> reporter: i am in the garfield park neighborhood of chicago and in just the first few weeks of this year, already six people have been shot. one of whom died. gun violence is a huge problem here in the city of chicago. in fact, last year more than 3,000 people were the victims of gun violence, that's about a 15% inning vehicles over 20

thank you, and let's bring in our correspondent, jake ward. and good to see you. there's starting to be research coming in line as to the science. >> tony, you wouldn't think that science could analyze something tangible. but they are doing it. one of the great national controversies before us is the question of biased and legal justice. are police officers biased as they decide who to pursue and arrest and are the courts biased in who to prosecute. and we are all capable of bias. and science has proven it. researchers are establishing new methods of drawing our bias out of us. and i'm about to show you how. different groups of people were shown this rapid fire sequence of images, blistering fired faces, and objects slowly came into focus. how long did it take to identify a weapon? here's where the racial bias came in? it depends on whether they were seeing african-american faces or caucasian faces and the group showing the african-american faces were much quicker to identify the blurry objects as weapons but seeing a white face inhibited the ability to identify t

jacob ward joins us live from san francisco. jake share with us on the size of forecasting. how did forecasters get it so wrong in some cases? >> well, the united states really has a forecasting problem. it's not that we don't have enough people outside looking at the sky. we don't have enough computers that are powerful you enough to simple simulate the forecast. up to this time, they had two hence. europe has one of the largest weather from computer. why does that speed matter? it usually determines accuracy. >> remember hurricane sandy in 2012? european forecasters got it right. american forecasters got it wrong. the european center for medium range forecasts predicted sandy's left turn on to new jersey more than a week in advance. it took several more days for the u.s. to make the same prediction. sandy went on to kill 150 people in the u.s. and cost the country $70 billion. but here's the thing. no one is right all the time. the national weather service relied heavily on the forecast in predicting that a blizzard would stall over long island and harm the area with snow,

jacob ward joins us live from san francisco. and jakescribe the breakthrough here, a lot of antibiotics in the world what headaches this one so different. >> there are as you say a lot of antibiotic in the world dave i would. but the trick is there are only very few when you look at the total number of bacteria that are available in nature. right now we can only use 1% of the total micro biodiversity of nature and that's because only 1% of all that lives in a petri dish. the revolution here is they created a replace for him a petri dish, creating a system that allows to you grow bacteria in an environment much closer to what they naturally grow in. this tiny thing the i-chip can grow about 10,000 different strains of bacteria, create antibiotics out that have and it opens up a whole new world of very much. it's like opening up a whole door on an entirely new junk toll explore and that has researchers very home. that they will find new antibiotics, that they haven't been able too to find in 30 years owe so far. >> based on the picture it
