tools to create new jobs because 3-D printing machines require designers in this field. On the other side, the weak point in this argument is the aspect of the framework of employment. According to Shewan, he states that "for every job created by robotic automation, several more will be eliminated entirely" (Shewan par. 12). This evidence suggests that only ten robots can take jobs of thousands of people. Unfortunately, this data leads to negative consequences to lives of people because they…

“Better Than Human: Why Robots Will—and Must—Take Our Jobs” by Kevin Kelly and “The Influencing Machines” by Brooke Gladstone and Josh Neufeld explain thoroughly the advancement of technology and what it will/can do for the world. Kelly explains the way robots have advanced in order to replace undesirable jobs whereas Gladstone and Neufeld depict how technological advances have changed the way people live.

idea of robots being able to do deal a game of blackjack is thrilling and exciting, but take heed they will not overhaul the industry. Robot dealers is a fad whose buzz will fizzle out like the 80’s mullet hairstyle. Mechanization, computerization, robotics is more practical industries where profit grows with rapid and efficient flow. However, in the blackjack industry where the backbone of the business is pure customer service, robots will only play a small role. Sitting down and playing a few…

For the last few centuries, robots have assisted humans in the creation of apparel. Although, with recent advancements in technology, many are beginning to question whether machines will one day be able to encompass the capacity to be creative. While some people believe that jobs involving human creativity, such as fashion design, aren’t at risk of becoming largely influenced by automation, I affirm that fashion design is nearing the tipping point of becoming so technologically advanced that a…

out the word, Deus, which clearly explain the writer’s vision. The consequence of artificial intelligence that mankind faces cannot be solved by God’s power. Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics had clarified the regulation of machines. However, at the end of the film, Ava and Kyoko break all the Laws of Robotics made by Isaac Asimov as Ava disobeys and attacks Nathan, Kyoko kills…

Robot, and Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs, certainly think so. They both believe that in order to have a strong team, one must use their unique skills to contribute to their team’s success. In La Vida Robot, Davis describes a high school robotics team who use their combined talents to create a robot. This group consisted of four members: Lorenzo Santillan, Oscar Vazquez, Cristian Arcega, and Luis Aranda. Lorenzo was the “mechanic man” who “was ready to build something of his own”…

The world of artificial intelligence is advancing at a rapid rate with robots becoming increasingly human like everyday. Advancements in these technologies requires us as humans to understand the benefits and the ramifications of introducing this scarcely understood technology into our everyday lives. Blindly allowing a new form of intelligence could be potentially catastrophic if not fully understood as the stability of these technologies are yet to be understood. Within Isaac Asimov's story…

further develops and becomes more advanced, some people question how these new forms of technology will coincide with society. In an essay by Patric Lin called The Big Question, he addresses the social, legal, and ethical problems posed by the coming robotics revolution. With today’s world, technology is slowly consuming society. People us some sort of technology in their everyday life from cell phones to the computer that’s make life easier with just the click of a button. But as Patric Lin…

The argument of whether or not it is morally justifiable to allow fully autonomous robots to ‘play god’ over the lives of people in conflict is a major issue in today’s political climate. The activist group ‘The campaign to stop killer robots’ argues that it is morally unjustifiable to allow such technology to exist, stating that it will challenge the protection of civilians, more conflicts and the absence of human judgment or moral values. Their arguments make an effort to convince readers to…
