Week #10 Response

In my opinion, the use of technology has both positive and negative consequences.

For example, the use of computers and the internet has made my life much easier. It is very easy to communicate with other people using a computer. In addition, classes can be taken on the internet right from the comfort of my own home. I also use the internet to make purchases.

There are also some negative effects of using technology. Using computers and the internet to communicate takes away from communicating with people face to face. I wonder what this is doing to communication skills. In addition, people sometimes develop addictions to things like online gambling because of its convenience.

This meme shows how one day there will be a place where AI robots will coexist with humans and they will have relationships with humans, and this can cause many problems socially. People might not be willing to accept you for having an AI has a partner or a spouse. Other problems that can arise is that AI robots are just machines and they don’t lack the same emotions that a person does, so this brings up the notion if their emotions are real or just made up from what they have seen around them and experienced. This can be seen in the movie “Her” were the AI was able to learn about emotions and love through the interactions with humans. At the end we find out that the AI wasn’t really in love because you can’t be in love with more than one person at a time and expect the other person to be okay with that. AI are one day going to take over the world and cause the downfall for humans. Today, technology is advancing at an exponential rate and it isn’t stopping any time soon. We already have ways to program AI’s to be able to recognize voice patterns and copy them exactly. This is one of the many ways that technology has advanced from a decade ago were going onto the internet required you to have a phone line and only one person at a time can be on the line, either calling or using the internet.

REFLECTION 2

Posted by Carlton Yuan on

For my technical description, I decided to describe the parts of a lamp and how it works. At first, I wanted to write about the Matrix of Leadership from the Transformers universe. After writing about 200 words, I ran out of things to write about. There is not a lot of information on how the Matrix works or what it is composed of. I should have done more research on my object before deciding on what to write. After researching various objects I decided to write my paper on a lamp. I was thinking about doing a camera but I felt that would be complicated. I decided on a table lamp because the composition was not complex and I felt like I would understand how it works. I learned a lot about table lamps from this paper. I learned about how light bulbs work, the inventor of the table lamp, and how it works.

I started my technical description with the history of the table lamp. I felt like this was a good way to introduce the object I was going to write about. I also wanted to show how the table lamp has evolved over time. Next, I wrote about the composition of the lamp. I described the parts of a lamp in the order they are composed of. I did this in order to show how each part was connected and could not work without each other. After describing the composition of a table lamp, I explained how a table lamp works. Some things I would change about the paper is adding more pictures. It would have been more effective if there were close up images of the parts I was describing. Another thing I would change is describing some parts more in-depth.

I feel like I deserve a grade of 85 for this assignment. I fulfilled the assignment requirements and described all the parts of a lamp. I believe that anyone who does not have knowledge of how table lamps work can understand by reading this paper. There is much to improve on this paper like describing some parts more in-depth and making the flow of the paper better.

In my opinion the future of technology has a cap, which I believe to be the capabilities and needs of human lives. As we try to make AI has humanly as possible, we are trying to give them as much purpose as humans. The unique part is humans and born with purpose and AI has to be programmed with purpose. So, at some point we must realize the only way you can be a living thing, is to be a living thing. So for me, I see technology is as inauthentic as can be. It is taking the real thoughts, behavior, experiences, and word of humans and are programmed to use it as data to be as real as they possibly can be.

 

 

 

I feel like tech can only be as real as we make it to be.

Zhi Hong Li reflection 2

The things that I learn from this project is that I need to clearly explain the function for all part of the computer hardware, and separately explain how each function. I think I clearly explain the function very well and clearly but I think there might still be some part unclear since I’m not the reader who don’t understand what I’m trying to explain.

One thing that I need to improve is on the image, I feel like something is missing but I don’t know what is missing. And maybe the overall relation might not be clear.

For the grade I give a 95 since I trying to make the word that explain to the reader as easier to read as possible, even grade school kid can understand the word and meaning,  which I spend most of the time on the understanding of the word to make it easier for even little kid can read it. I spend on the research to the sure the function is correct and give advise for what happen when the computer is getting wet.

After watching the video, for me it is very interesting to see how technology are able to do what human can do. Feel the emotion and how they falling in love with human being. In the sense, it feel like it kind of replace some people. Maybe in some way technology seem to be out of control because it is doing everything human can and can’t do, which can frighten people. There can be many different view such as some think tech should be in control of human, some think tech is our friend who help our development of society, some think tech will replace and take over human,some think tech help make things easier … There can be many different view on it, we can’t judge right now for what is wrong or not. Things can turn out in both good and bad way. Both might be turn but the good for someone might not seem as good for other.

My relationship with technology is a mixed bag. Sometimes I find it fascinating, allowing me to navigate the world with ease. Most of the time I feel behind and frustrated as technology more so then ever moves at a rapid pace. Every day it seems more difficult to stay up on the trends of technology today. I think the older you get the less you can digest. Sometimes I can even feel intimidated. Like most people though I struggle up front and once I gain confidence I excel. I love my iPhone and the convenience it offers but get irate with constant updates and often feel my phone runs more clunky after I accept them. My real challenge is desk tops. When I was younger, and computers were becoming a house hold item I ate them up. I soaked up all the information I could and believe I was far ahead of the average person in this regard. Although youth do hold an advantage in their technological retention, I feel over the years I have strayed from the well, like most. Whenever I am in a computer heavy class, I feel panicked and unsure of myself. The GIF I have created shows the frustration I find myself dealing with when faced with technology these days.
