WEEK 10

Carlton Yuan on Growing up in a world with technology, I can’t imagine living in a world without it. I use my phone every day to listen to music, use social media and the internet. I use my computer to do homework and watch movies. I also love playing video games and watching movies on my PlayStation. Although I love technology, I would not want it to consume my life. The movie Her is an example of how technology could consume a person’s life. Theodore fell in love with an AI named Samantha. I agree with Catherine that Theodore does not know how to deal with real human emotions. I remember learning in Anthropology class that Humans learn from each other and are very social creatures. Humans depend on other humans for survival. Although I love playing video games, I would much rather have human interactions than staying at home all day and playing video games by myself. Part of the reason why I love playing video games is that I get to play and talk with my friends. I rarely play videogames if my friends are not online. I believe that in the future there will be sports for robots. They already have some competitions with robots but they are not really advanced and it is not really popular. Imagine a team of robots playing basketball, soccer, football. One day there will be an NBA, NFL, and MLS for robots.

Jesse Rice-Evans (she/they) on Hello all!-
Writing with a couple of updates for you:
1. Please come to class on Tuesday 4/9 ready to dive into Project #4 with your groups! For those of you struggling to make it class regularly, we’ll take some time to talk one-on-one to come up with a plan for completing Project #4–we can do this over email if need be.
2. I’m looking into swapping a couple of upcoming class meetings for a series of one-on-one meetings with each of you to talk about your progress, your questions/concerns, and suggestions for the remainder of the term. I’ll finalize my decision about this today and keep you all posted on the Course Calendar and in class. You’ll be asked to sign up for a time to meet with me during our normal class meeting time.
3. I am *almost done* giving feedback on your lab reports. You will find these docs in your individual Google Drive folders as a file named “DONE [your file title].” I’ve made comments, suggestions, and written a lil’ blurb at the bottom of each doc with suggestions for revising and general comments/suggestions for working in the genre and how your piece is working. If you do not see this doc yet, it’s because I am reading it this afternoon. Thank you all for your patience <3
4. If you have not yet submitted your Reflection #1 for Project #1: Lab Report, please do this ASAP ASAP ASAP. I need to hear from you about your process of creating the report, so post a short reflection, with an assigned grade, to the site in Category: Reflection #1 ASAP PLZ thank u
