The Terminator

nuclear weapons capable of destroying the planet and all its inhabitants. In “There Will Come Soft Rains”, we can see that possessing such a power didn’t end well for us. Within 30 years there will be automated robots fighting our wars, our very own terminators. It may seem like something only from a sci-fi movie, although we already have automated robots that perform basic tasks throughout the world right now such as surveillance drones, assembly machines in factories, automated cleaning…

Introduction: The discovery of Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) as genetic material by Oswald Theodore Avery in 1944 paved the way for modern technology in the life sciences. Scientists James D. Watson and Francis Crick determined that this genetic material was composed for four bases in 1953, which lead to the central dogma of molecular biology (Liu, et al., 2009). To better understand what this chemical code means, Alan Maxam and Walter Gilbert developed the Maxam-Gilbert manual DNA sequencing…

Beckham strives to make a difference. Beckham's body language and facial expression depicts a man with determination and purpose. His upright stance and emotionless facial expression positions us to see him as a man on mission, almost like the “terminator.” This again reinforces that he is trying to make a change by supporting as many kids as he can. The image depicts Beckham as almost as a “saviour”, pulling these kids out of the jaws of a deprived community and directing them…

In the article Violent Video Games: Dogma, Fear and Pseudoscience, Christopher Ferguson discusses how poor or inaccurate research has led to a public misunderstanding of the effects of violent video games. In the article he discusses how much of the research, which has been misrepresented or disingenuous with its results or conclusions, has led to claims of negative effects which may be incorrect based on these issues. As part of this, I wanted to review how the people have viewed violent acts…

Artificial Intelligence, Friend or Foe? The age of the A.I is upon us, and we are integrating it into our daily life. We live with it, we work with it and it even does some work for us. We research more and more, to make it smarter, better, stronger, but not thinking of the complication it creates. A.I is becoming more and more unpredictable in parallel to the possibilities and broad uses of it. We think we can handle it, but can we really? We need to think about the dangers they can cause, both…

were added to each tube. Then 5.5µL of ddH2O was added to each tube for a total 7.5µL of mix in each tube. Next, 0.5µL ND4 primer was added to the tube labeled ND4 and 0.5µL Leu primer was added to the tube labeled Leu. Two microliters of Big Dye Terminator Cycle Sequencing Buffer (mixture of ddNTPs, dNTPs, Taq polymerase, and salts) were added to each tube. The tubes were then capped and stored at twenty degrees Celsius until thermal cycling was…

only used in FF and therefore his point is irrational. The most known examples are Anakin and Luke Skywalker in Star Wars. They have incredible abilities and a prophecy claims that they are the “Chosen One”. The other examples are: John Connor from Terminator, Sonmi 451 from Cloud Atlas, Katniss from The Hunger Games and Jones from The Giver. The list goes on. One of the defenses one can make against Somma in favor of FF is that some people see fiction general as escapism, especially FF. SF…

I have never taken interest in track and field. Never in my mind have i thought that i would be joining track and field on my junior year. But when feeling the wind it’s like if you had wings. When running your surrounded by air the only things you hear are “WHOoooooo” of a melody. Inside of my mind i thought that track and field will be an easy sport that does not require lots of physical fitness. WRONG! It does require physical fitness and endurance. The first day of practice was nerve…

Judy is a 25 year old female born with autism. During my aunt 's pregnancy all seemed well, all tests that were taken when she was pregnant came out normal with no abnormalities. However during delivery there was some complications. Judy was without oxygen for ten to twenty minutes because the ambilical cord was wrapped around her neck and could not come out through the vaginal canal. Everytime the baby 's head came out, the ambilical cord retracted her back into the womb. In the process the…

 The greatest advantage of artificial intelligent system is that it can never get tired or sleepy or bored and since it can be programmed to do dangerous tasks human safety and security will not be at risk. RISK FACTORS Under this topic we will discuss about the risks associated with Artificial Intelligence. We will see that there are many risk factors but the most crucial risk factor is existential threat from Artificial Intelligence One of the main disadvantage of AI is the…
