Robots and Humans

 

 

 

 

                       I think robots have the potential to do almost anything like build stuff in factories, cars, toys, and other stuff. I am sure a robot can be built to look like a human and perhaps that will happen in the future. I could see it now, robot sales associates! As far as how intelligent a robot can be is beyond me. I am sure they can hold a wealth of information in their CPU, but can they critical think? Can they determine truth from lie? Who knows? I am sure we will see eventually.

                       I think a robotic care would be an amazing idea.  Just imagine going into a vehicle that can drive you to a destination whole you sleep, play games, and talk with your company? It is about what can make a person’s life easier right? I see technology has advanced already so much in our society, I am sure our society will advance farther.  

                       Humans make mistakes all the time; I guess that is a part of life, but robots? I think robots won’t make mistakes, but maybe they will freeze or catch viruses. I am sure nothing is perfect, but I would say humans would make a lot more mistakes than robots.  In the reading Autonomous Robots in the Fog of war there was an interesting statement made by a reporter, “A reporter on the phone asks me what will happen when robots become so smart that they can clone themselves.” This is a question some people ask themselves. It is a good question because robots are and will intelligent One could see the movie I-Robot starring Will Smith to understand this reporter’s question. I think we are a long way from figuring this out.

In this interesting reading, The Huggable: A Therapeutic Robotic Companion for Relational, Affective Touch is about a solution for loneliness. The reading states,” One solution to this problem of loneliness, helplessness, and boredom, is the use of companion animals in an animal assisted therapy (AAT).” There was a robot bear in this reading that had sensitive skin, sounds, and reactions. I agree that such devices would help out societies elder population, but not only the elder population, but the babies and Toddlers as well. I don’t know much about the elderly, but I know about babies. They are entertained by spoons, but a bear like this would make their time better.

when i was in highschool i was a Korn fan. I am still a Korn fan, but not as much!

Social Media.

Facebook is a social networking site I primarily use. I prefer face book because I am used to it. I have not mastered it yet. A virtual world is a space for people online. Which looks like the real world like a video game! For example, Sims. Is a game where you can create and manipulate a person and a life. You can customize how your avatar looks like, your home, career, neighbors and anything. It’s amazing. In the readings Professor Encourages Students to Pass Notes During Class— via Twitter ,”v In some cases, a shy student would type an observation or question on Twitter .” I think it would be good idea for some because they are shy, but now others because you lose that face to face interaction. In the readings,“When Writing Digitally, Nobody Knows You’re a Duck, “As the Internet’s popularity and population exploded, issues of personal identity/ies gained traction in the minds of scholars and analysts.” I think in online identity is complex because you really don’t know who you are talking to. I remember I was on my space and I was talking to a person who turned out to be under age. I stopped talking to that person.

World Wide Web

 

The future of the World Wide Web is an advanced future where anybody can surf the net in almost any gadget. Technology is constantly evolving and I believe the web will be a even more a part of a person‘s life.   Cloud computing is an expression used to describe a verity of different types of computing. Large numbers of computers connected through networks like internet like distributing computing through networking. It also lets us save alot of information in a good way to help with keeping information safe. I find it amazing like in the reading cloud computing, “It’s not just that servers must respond to hundreds or thousands of requests per second;” this is amazing because it’s a complex process!!  In the readings, “Google’s New Director Of Engineering, Ray Kurzweil, Is Building Your ‘Cybernetic Friend, “ Google’s new Director of Engineering, Ray Kurzweil, wants to build a search engine so sophisticated that it could act like a ‘cybernetic friend,’ who knows users better than they know themselves.” This is how I see technology, but it is kind of personal. Most people hide who they are because of their partners, parents, and others. This is why such an idea is personal. Unless it requires a password1
