The history of it has quickly improved and expanded since the Iron days. Today in modern society, robots do not perform all tasks of a human being, however they do aid in ways that humans cannot. Rewinding to the era of World War I, Ray Bradbury introduces the idea of a possible human extinction due to advanced technology. In 1950, he wrote…

It was like a scene from a movie. My heart was beating faster than I had ever imagined possible. I couldn’t wrap my mind around what had just happened. How did this happen? Why did this happen to me? Was this karma? Did I upset the universe or God? Was this a test of my faith, a testament of God's grace, or did I just have the worst luck ever? It was by far the worst experience of my life. I remember everything about that day. I was about two weeks into my summer break. I woke up to an…

This leaves very little room for person to person communication. Technology has made huge changes in how people live their day to day lives. People are becoming very antisocial because of the advances in…

As a robot engineer, my mechanism is programmed to achieve the high expectations of the owner through objective list theory. The rival engineer’s theory is hedonism, they believe this theory will help to civilize our world. In my persuasion process I will use examples from the film, “Life on the Axiom from Wall-E”. This will provide the truth that my product is well improved and can achieve greater things for a perfect life. Objective list will allow the owner of my apparatus to use the tools…

The author thinks it is better to have a physical paper book in front of the reader than a kindle or e-book because he or she will be able to have a deeper understanding…
