Robot

Playing a sport or being part of a club is a major part of the lives of many students at Nashoba. For me, it's the robotics team. I started when I was a 6th grader at Hale Middle School with the team there and I've programmed robots ever since. Every year up until now, I've worked with other people in doing this. This year was different. The main programmer for the team, Colin Willoughby, had graduated the previous year, leaving me as the only programmer. While there were a few mentors that…

“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” – Albert Einstein When famous physicist Albert Einstein made the statement in 1949, it was with the assumption that World War III, if it happens, will be on a global scale and may cause massive destruction and likely with the usage of nuclear warfare and hence World War IV will be fought with primitive weapons. While nuclear warfare cannot be ruled out, the way wars or conflicts…

This job title is automatically considered more of a man’s job than anything else. Woman typically don’t make a living clearing the earth of garbage. Even the way WALL-E is built gives off vibes and evidence of being male. This robot isn’t rounded off and smooth like EVE and is a rusty looking color. Women are viewed as being more smooth and clean. Due to the fact that WALL-E demonstrates the opposite of how woman are perceived, WALL-E would be considered male. At one point in…

AMC’s “Humans”, devised to conjure an evocation of emotion, examines the conflict between for humans and machines called “synths”. In this parallel, world, that takes place within a non-disclosed time, synths excel at gleaning the subtleties of human life. From massaging (or sharing intimacy with) a tired spouse or reading to a child before putting her to bed, Humans does a good job at representing synths as more human than humans. Devindra Hardawar, for Engadget, suggests that there has been a…

Churchland writes that reductive materialism is a theory of mind which states that “mental states are physical states of the brain” (311) in other words a mental states will reflect a particular physical state of the brain, additionally it also relies heavily on “folk psychology”. Folk psychology is a “commonsense psychological framework” that seeks to explain the parallel between mind and behavior. On the other hand Eliminative…

sidewalk. Cars would levitate by using a battery powered air jets and drive themself by using an AI in the car. Also there would be personal robot assistants in every household in my neighborhood and help you do any task in your everyday life. If I could design a futuristic neighborhood, it would include sidewalk escalators, levitating cars and personal robot assistants. In my neighborhood I would have sidewalk escalators that could get you anywhere in the world so that you did not have to walk…

and the post WWII era. During WWI the British created tanks that were an unstoppable approach in combat. In WWII the United States used radiation to make the first ever effective atomic bomb. Due to big advancements in robotics the U.S are testing robots for war and combat situations. Science and Technology have played a huge role…

As he becomes self aware, he develops a guilty and murderous in an attempt to preserve his existence. this is a prime reason on why technology should not become intelligent to the point where human lives…
