Artificial Intelligence and Robotics

Robots are not going to take over. Humans will always have the upper hand but it's kust a moment of time before we have robots living among us. There are some great points in the artical "Should we put robots on trial?" about robotic cars. We can have robots among us, driving us where we need to go while we watch TV or take naps but there is one concern, what happens when a robotic car runs someone over and who is to blame. Robotis will come soon but they need to be at a certain level of control. Robots can do almost anything that humans can if they are programmed correctly and charged up. I think humans are more likely to make mistakes because once there is a program which is setup, the robot can repeat it multiple times without getting tired and the same cannot be said about humans.

Social Media

Social media is a means of interaction via the internet to people across the globe. It's a way in which people communicate in a virtual settings. Social media is communication using texts, images, voice recordings, and other forms of media to get their voice out and what they mean to the other party. Social media necessarily isn't a bad thing, it can be very helpful in certain situations. For example, the article by Jeffrey R. Young explains how students can tweet each other in class. The teacher has two screens and on one screen is what he teaches and on the other is the live tweet feeds of students, this is an excellent idea. I'm sure many kids would prefer to use this technique since its modern and they would also learn in a more modernized and organized way.

I am on many social media sites such as, Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Tumblr, Tout, Instagram, Skype, and now Blogger. I prefer and use Facebook the most for many reason, it's safe, you can use it from almost any device, you can keep it private or public depending on how you want to use it, and Facebook also has the most users so there is a chance where you might chat with your elementary school best friend or a co worker that you never got the chance to talk to.

World Wide Web

The World Wide Web, abbreviated as WWW, is a system of interlaced hypertext documents opened via the Internet. With a web browser, one can view web pages that may contain text, images, videos, and other multimedia, and circumnavigate between them via hyperlinks. The future of the World Wide Web looks very bright since the technology is advancing rapidly. The WWW is also a vendor for huge markets out there such as Microsoft, Google, Apple, inc. etc. This is a great way to make money if your a small business owner or just an average Joe trying to sell your iPod on eBay.

The Cloud is the use of computing resources, hardware and software, that are delivered as a service over a network of different accessible computers at once (typically the Internet). In the Cloud, information, documents, music, pictures, and other types of files can be shared in an instant. There can be different types of clouds. There can be clouds between different types of devices and there also can be clouds within clouds.

Networks and Communications

The advantages of communication technology are as follows:

It's very convenient to communicate using technology especially using Skype, you can have a conversation at home in your pajamas with someone in India, Japan, or anywhere in the world. Another great advantage of this is speed, you can instantly send out emails and text messages to multiple recipients at once and this can save a lot of time and money.

The disadvantage of communication technology is the lack of context. You can send a message saying "I'm Fine." but many people in there head would interpret this in different ways because there would be no facial expressions or hand gestures to convey the meaning.

My advice to people having issues with technology is to first Google or YouTube everything before you try it yourself unless you know exactly what you are doing. To all the texters who drive (or people that walk into fountains while texting), use Siri or any other app that allows you to convert speech to text. For junk or spam emails, try clicking and scrolling down the email and most times there would be a link that you click which would stop they're automatic system from sending you emails.
