criminal justice system. However, the key distinction between this show and similar dramas is that the show is focused on the jury and the voir dire process. The show has a very interesting major plot device that allows this to work. They use a supercomputer, which looks at the online history of each jury member and decides if they…

Thompson believes that human and robots have to fairly compete. He addresses the story that the world chess champion Garry Kasparov was beaten in 1997 by Deep Blue, an I.B.M. supercomputer, it was considered to be a major milestone in the march toward artificial intelligence. Garry Kasparov was defeated by IBM’s Deep Blue supercomputer in the first six games; however, when each game was limited to sixty minutes, Topalov, a top-rated grand master, didn’t have infinite time to consult the robots.…
Have you ever thought about the differences between these days and the days of two hundred years ago? There are many things has chance which cant be count. There were many things that haven’t existed before. Anyway, the technology has developed in a way that human cannot control or stop it. As I can say that there is no limited for the technology. However, if you think of how our technology in these days, I will absolutely accept any ideas about technology. So, imagine if someone came from the…
Animal testing was revived in Greece about 2300 years ago; however, it became widely used only from 1850 (Understanding animal research, 2015). After this time, many breakthroughs were made such as insulin for diabetics, hepatitis C vaccine and medicine for epilepsy, which have saved countless number of animals’ and humans’ lives (AMP, 2015). Today, we have developed many alternatives to animal testing, thanks to new technologies, which are used to develop and test new medicine and treatments;…
Science fiction stories illustrate the need for people to come up with transitory solutions for problems such as overpopulation, lack of resources, and pollution that are causing Earth to become unlivable. Even though eventually Earth, no matter what is done will no longer be able to accommodate human life causing the need to expand beyond. Science fiction stories such as “2BRØ2B” by Kurt Vonnegut in which humans have tried to created a utopia by controlling the population to the point where…
“Gattaca”, by Andrew Niccol, is a film about a genetically inferior man who assumes the identity of a superior one in order to succeed in his dreams of space travel. While some themes presented in Gattaca seem alarmingly similar to our present world, we are in fact, still far away from making Gattaca a reality. The parallels between genetic manipulation in Gattaca and our world show how we may be close to making Gattaca a reality while the themes of discrimination and human spirit prove that the…
Jenna will have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 phone processor. The processor has an 8 core CPU, and an Adreno 430 GPU (Graphics processing unit) (Open GL ES, 3.1, and DirectX 11.2; both desktop-class graphics protocols). The processor also has an LTE(Long-Term Evolution) internet capability(450 mbps down/up), bluetooth 4.1(most commonly used bluetooth standard), and 802.11n/ac(newest/fastest wifi standard). The back of the chip is covered with hundreds of pins that are usually formatted to fit into…

Frankie and Benjy were originally seen as Trillian’s pet mice. Later in the book it is revealed that they were pan-dimensional beings who…
death was inevitable, all because of a flaw in the computer programming of the EDS. This proves the point that technology has limited the freedom, as well as the margin of error, of seemingly inadequate humans compared to the dominating powers of supercomputers. Next, in “The Pedestrian”, a man by the name of Leonard Mead walks alone every night through the desolate streets of his town, graced with no one else but himself. Everyone is inside their homes, feasting their eyes on…
